The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Also Americans will make anything into a slur, so suspicion at an unknown word is occasionally understandable

The worst part about this post is how amazing some of these would be with sound and how heartbreaking it is for that lil speaker icon to do nothing whatsoever. Truly, the schad is coming from inside the thread.

that's why you're supposed to go through the little parts checklist at the front of the manual and make sure all blocks are present, that's the funnest part of lego anyways is the sorting

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

There's always spare parts in any Lego set so I'm not sure why the guy is panicking. Just look around the build to see if anything is very obviously wrong.

You don't get any spares of the big pieces like were added, it's only ever the tiniest ones they include more of.

Melbourne real estate agent loses bid for $30,000 refund for sneakers sold by schoolboy

quote:

A Melbourne real estate agent who spent almost $30,000 on sneakers he suspects are counterfeit is not entitled to a refund because he knowingly bought them off a 17-year-old student.
...
VCAT (Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal) member Katherine Metcalf found he was not entitled to a refund, given the agreement was made with a 17-year-old, who due to his age did “not have full capacity to enter into contracts”.

It's more about preventing the opposite (ie. stopping adults from ripping off teenagers). If an adult happens to be dumb enough to get ripped off by a child then they're an unfortunate casualty of an otherwise useful and necessary precaution.

People who pay thousands of dollars for a shoe are the same as buttcoiners and monkey jpeg collectors, they are getting ripped off by own volition.

Counterpoint: anyone who can and does pay $30,000 for a pair of shoes deserves to have all their money taken away and given to people who actually need it, so as a compromise I propose that we make it legal for teens to rip off anyone with a net worth of oh let's say over $1,000,000 or more

That way the rich get poorer, wealth gets redistributed, and teenagers learn valuable life skills

To a certain kind of mind, shoes are just socially acceptable Funko Pops.
They must be judged no less harshly than the Funko people.

Nah, funkos, while weird, don't spontaneously dissolve into dust. Buying funkos makes more sense than this shoe fad does just with that lil factoid.

Your Funko doomsday is gonna be around till the sun explodes.

Your special shoes are going to be garbage in less than a decade if you don't have a special climate controlled display cases built for them, and even if you do, congrats you just added a couple of years before they turn to dust.

I guess the vid permissions are different on the app than on the desktop version??? Or maybe that changed at some point as well and I never noticed because I still have the settings I was using 12 years ago

Isn't part of the reason they do that because they're never worn, and if they were and the rubber/plastic was flexed around a little they would actually last longer?
