There used to be a landlord thread in BFC where goons traded tips & tricks for pulling poo poo like this and the meltdowns when they got called out on it were so great.

That thread was amazing.

quote:

The family has also filed a formal discrimination complaint with the state, alleging the landlords targeted a “low-income disabled immigrant family”, and have told the family “they do not belong in a fancy place and can go live somewhere else”. Tam denied the discrimination allegations, saying she has other disabled tenants and that the purpose of her eviction is to “get rid of Section 8” and increase the rents.

there was a matrix mmo that continued the plot from the movies for a while, as directed by the wachowskis. iirc the machines tell the humans that neo died but refuse to give back his body and morpheus (leading one in-game faction) keeps demanding to know what they're hiding. i assume the game shut down before anything was really developed or resolved, but i guess i shouldn't say more, lest it get used in a new film.

It'll probably get ruled non-canon because the Matrix MMO was so bad and experienced by so few people.

I've had a fairly busy week and haven't been paying a ton of attention, why the gently caress is he so obsessed with Greenland? Has Fox been running a bunch of segments about how great it is? Is there some kind of amazing real estate scam to be had there? It's like not even 2019 weird, it's just totally random.

He has a head full of cheddar and it's all stuck in 1979. Greenland is a strategic asset and someone probably said "oh yeah, we use an airbase up there". They also likely pointed to Greenland on a map, because Donnie learns with pictures, and it likely had the Mercator Projection, making Greenland look really big.

See the connection? Big piece of land, strategic, and a brain (full of holes) stuck in the 70s.

Alternatively, Donnie likes to project his own motivations onto others. So everyone is corrupt, untrustworthy, ruthless, and for sale.

I hate/love that this, the purchase of Greenland by the United States is America under President Donald J Trump in TYOOL 2019, went from thinly sourced quasi-joke article to “holy poo poo, Trump is actually serious about this to the degree that he’d cancel a state visit” in under a loving week.

My family has a long-running friendship with a Danish woman who used to be our au pair in the late 80s. Her partner is a former member of the Sirius Patrol. A super nice guy, but one of those people who conveys the message of “don’t gently caress with me” even as he’s pouring you another cup of coffee at the conclusion of some cool story. If the US bought Greenland, I honestly think he’d go back out on the ice and wage an insurgency.

I hope Denmark decides to say gently caress it and ask an exorbitant price and trump pays it. Greenland, Puerto Rico, DC, and Guam as new states in the 2020's. Trump tries to buy Canada in the last months of his presidency.
