If you're looking to impulse buy a cheap chair, I can totally see blazing through without really reading the description. It seems weird to me that dollhouse paraphernalia is categorized under Home Décor.

Granted MAYBE the presence of the words "MINIATURE" and "NOVELTY" in the name of the item MAY have been a tipoff.

Note that they did not destroy your boat.

Trespassing is not tantamount to espionage. There are millions of acres of military base you can completely inadvertently walk upon. Try to get into Area 51, or Pantex, yes, you'll attract the attention of very serious men with guns, but walking into Fort Indiantown Gap or some other 4th-tier guard facility isn't tantamount to espionage. Also note that the whole 4th amendment thing where the government can't just take or seize or destroy your property because it feels like it, even applies in cases of espionage.

There is also a difference in scale between drones and boats (and I am not even going to discuss post-U.S.S. Cole). Besides, if a 20+ million dollar plane has an accident leading to the death of a basically priceless human life, I don't think there would be any issue. Not that I think drones are bad, but they have an extremely high proportion of morons in their ownership group.

I'm not. She's...sitting...she shifts around in a panic when the portapotty first moves, and loses it when it tips all the way forward.

It looks almost like she was leaning against the door with her pants down and underwear up when it got tipped forward.

That's why I said she was shifting around in a panic. I mean, stop and think. You're a woman sitting down to pee. All of a sudden, for all you know, the portapotty feels like it is going to tip over. You hop up, pull up your undies before pulling your pants up. The potty shifts enough to make you fall against the door as you are already unbalanced trying to get your pants up.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I only mention a gender because more women sit to pee than men do.

Haha what the gently caress? You are insane

Okay, Bob, looks like he is playing safe this round. After the defensive line shut down his first troll with no gains, looks he's dropping back for the old ad hominem.

Really, Winkledink, this is not as safe a play as you think it is. He's already lost a lot of yards with his first play, and unless he can come up with something really innovative, he stands to lose both yards AND the respect of the fans...

Bob, you were right. That ad hominem is getting him booed from the stands, and it looks like they won't be making those yards up. I think his only plays are to spin out to a meltdown, or, possibly just throw in the towel and walk away... What do you think he will do.

I mean, "Anonymous" isn't exactly an organized force. It's mostly a lot of people independently saying they're representing Anonymous and working together sometimes. It could be the Daily Stormer faking it, or it could be some rando getting access and putting up a bunch of bullshit about how they're part of an elite Anonymous hacking force.

That supposed Anonymous take over notice on DailyStormer sure is heaping high praise on the site's security ("It took a united force of global elite hax0rs to take down this very secure site blah blah blah") and whomever wrote that notice really had to point out that the owner lives in Lagos, a fact that the owner likes to spout of himself, leading many to doubt that's really where he lives.

So I have some doubts over the validity of that 'attack'.

Anon? Yeah, no. Like, maybe 5 real hackers riding herd on 40000 clueless script kiddies with no concern over whether or not their parent's Comcast gets disconnected.

Basements have nothing to do with earthquakes and everything to do with frost lines. A foundation for a house has to be below the frost line. If you live somewhere warm, like california, that might be just a few inches down. If you live somewhere with severe winters, that might be 7' down.

Also, having grown up in at least Southern California, and having been a state trained brushfire and flood fighter, the earth there tends to be rocky and dense as all hell. As such, I imagine it would get very expensive very quickly.

EDIT: Still agitated as hell about that Vice video and how much I want to introduce Caldwell to a particle cannon.

So they are on Tor now. Which is great PR for the supremacists, since they point and show it as proof of the black lesbian Jewish communist cartels keeping the pure Aryan race down. For the rest of us it shows the Stormer as the cheesy non-legit crap it always was.
