What was with the guy throwing water on the car?

It looks like he's getting it from a fountain, which I suppose if it's not super well maintained could have gross water in it, so he's pouring gross water all over a pretty nice car. That's my guess at least.

I have a feeling that if Trump gets the nomination there's going to be a moment of "...o..oh gently caress he's actually the presidential nominee?". Like a joke that went wildly out of control and a ton of people supporting him now just don't vote. Even if Bernie gets the nomination, there's no way Trump wins it.

Trump winning the nomination would be so delicious, I can't even put it in to words. Did you ever wonder what would make the most apathetic and largest non-voting group of people actually get off their asses and vote? Calling them all rapists and murderers is a pretty good start.

I'm convinced Trump is secretly a Democratic operative, using his last years on earth to ensure a Dem majority for the next decade.

The best thing is that when he loses you absolutely know he's going to drag it out forever and scream for recounts and voter fraud investigations while the GOP literally begs him to shut up and go away.

If you haven't seen TFA and want to remain 100% unspoiled maybe skip this post and probably the linked video.

Max Landis (screen writer and son of John Landis) has caused thousands of nerds to get super angry that he has an opinion that is less than glowing about the Force Awakens and specifically the character of Rey.



The video summarizes a few dozen of his tweets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpS6TlqgLIQ

Hop on to his Twitter feed https://twitter.com/Uptomyknees to see the well reasoned and thoughtful responses he has received for having an opinion.



Its schadenfreude coming at you from all sides.

Dude comes off as kind of a dickhead tbh. "Ugh this icky girl is a MARY SUE from a fanfic in my fun action space movie. See she's different from how Luke Skywalker was portrayed because"

You could make literally the same argument about how Luke was portrayed yet he doesn't hmmmm I wonder why....

I'm willing to admit he may have points about her and Luke's issues with regards to writing. I think people were just so used to dorks being pissed off at a female lead being extremely prominant in the promotion of and in the film itself of a Star Wars movie that seeing a dude make a tweet like that caused people to assume that it's just another nerd whining about "Women in my space movie! :qq:"

Yeah, WWE tables are gimmicked to break super easy, I think they're made of particle board? Japanese wrestling or the more hardcore American feds will use just straight up wooden tables that will not break as easy.

Speaking of tables I remember a story of some indie fed, I THINK it might have been CZW? Where they had a match where they lit the table on fire.They poured lighter fluid all over it and when the dude got smashed through it, the fluid basically ran down onto his body and he got awful 3rd degree burns over his chest.

Okay I know, reddit but this is really amazing

TL;DR: OP wants to reserve a room at a club but has no money. Accidentally gets sent a letter with a credit card in it meant for his Neighbor. Uses said credit card to get into the club. Club figures out he isn't the card owner and now the cops want to talk to him.

Just how boned, legally, is he?

Charming man loses job after gloating over people killed by wildfires

http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2016/12/alabama_man_loses_job_for_call.html

quote:


An Alabama man who referred to residents of Gatlinburg as "mouth-breathing, toothless, Trump-suckin' pond scum" in the wake of last week's deadly wildfires has lost his job and been targeted by social media users as a possible suspect in the blaze.

On Nov. 29, Coleman Bonner of Wessington in Chilton County posted a message to his personal Facebook page in regards to the wildfires in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevier County, Tennessee.

"Funny story. I was recently in Gatlinburg. Had a terrible time. I felt the place was a cesspool of consumerism and a bastion of the worst aspect of southern culture. Turns out a wildfire just burned most of the town to the ground. Good riddance, Gatlinburg. And good luck you mouth-breathing, toothless, diabetic, cousin-humpin,' mountain-dew chugging, moon-pie-munchin,' pall-mall smoking,', Trump-suckin' pond scum. (Chuckles and smiles like the smarmy liberal elitist I am," Bonner wrote.

May I present my favorite video of 2018 so far.

An incredibly drunk man found sleeping in his car at an intersection tries to use Sovereign Citizen arguments. It's 22 minutes long but worth every single second.

Highlights include: He literally wakes up arguing, 'i don't understand anything but i overstand everything', his excuse to where he's going changes multiple times, "AHHHH B-B-B-BUT ACCCOOOORDING TO THE LAW POLICE DON'T EXIST SINCE 1929!"
