Gonna need some examples of people that have been hosed over by a Trump presidency before I start throwing gas on a fire. Nothings happened yet, and I doubt anything meaningful will. We've just got 4 years of crazy rhetoric to look forward to. And my guess is Democrats are gonna act as much the spoiled children as the Republicans did the last time.

Sounds as if it's a story about how obssession with other peoples' junk can lead to needless public humiliation and self-destructive behaviours.

Consider also how old buildings have been cannibalized for materials - roman ruins becoming medieval houses and the like - and how common the "treasure behind danger" trope is.

Like, haven't people died digging in a hole in Nova Scotia because the driftwood looks a little like someone laid out some planks to maybe hide something?

Now consider that maybe people in the future really need metal or something, and then this radioactve waste becomes cooking pots (self-warming pots :haw:) and the waste gets spread all over the entire region and dumped in rivers and poo poo.

Whenever I have something nice and someone wants to adulterate it in a way that I find horrifying, I make them try it on my terms first. More than 50% of the time they don't do whatever is the equivalent of "Adding coke" in this situation.

As a German, i respectfully disagree. Let me try to explain. A person getting hit in the face with a pie on a TV show is funny. A person getting hit in the face with a pie after they boasted about being the best pie-avoider in the world is Schadenfreude. A random bystander getting hit in the face with a pie by a stranger is neither.

This is SA's most-German post of the week.

A Good Post. I heard a radio interview a few weeks ago with a woman who was excommunicated for putting pretty low-level and polite pressure on the church to allow female ordination. To fill in those who don't know (as I didn't) literally every Mormon man is ordained from like age 12 or something like that, and women have to pay the same tithes and do all of the same work, but they get no say in church governance. A panel of men behind closed doors decided, for the crime of arguing that women should have rights and autonomy in the church, that she needed to literally be sent to hell (as that's the primary consequence of excommunication).

I'm visualizing some obsessive person who stands in line for two days, using his iphone to keep in touch with people and send excuses to his boss for missing work while he waits in line for his iphone, and then gets his new iphone and immediately goes onto some apple forum so he can keep refreshing the page obsessively to find out when the next iphone will be coming out.

I was going to poke at it but I was thinking that it was two separate ideas "Don't be an rear end in a top hat to deaf people. Also blind people would benefit from Braille."

But seriously it happens all the time. My Dad did special ed for 40 years, particularly mobility teaching for the blind. He'd get asked almost weekly if he knew ASL (he did, but unrelated).

A well-applied blood choke can put someone to sleep in 6 seconds. Fight video looks fake not because of the choke but because a) the guy stays down and stiff way too long from the punch, and b) the attackers come one at a time like ninjas in an 80s movie.

I've been waiting for a chance to share this ongoing story in a thread. Some Indigenous people in Halifax staged a Canada day protest against the presence of a statue of Edward Cornwallis, who had founded the city but who also put up a scalp bounty to clear all of the Indigenous people from the region. It's understandable that they won't like him or his statue. Anyway, a bunch of "Proud Boys" turds showed up to harass the protesters, but they were military, and now the Canadian Forces are considering kicking them out:

Oh poo poo. I did some SE Asia touring this summer and at every airport the Chinese tourists were like really lovely locusts. For pretty much every queue - check in, boarding, food, even once at security - a group of Chinese tourists would come forward and try to swarm-cut to the front, just shouting and shoving boarding passes / money / passports into the face of whoever was working, pretending (?) to not understand when they were told to GET TO THE BACK OF THE loving LINE, obviously just hoping that they'd be told
"well since you're here you can just go first".

And then there was their kids.... :sigh:

:smug:

Advertisers are angry at Apple because Safari is going to block third party ad tracking. They are imposing a 24 hour limit on ads that follow you around the web, like when you buy shoes at Amazon and then ads keep showing you shoes in other websites. Apple is also blocking auto-play videos. Hopefully Google and others follow them.

“Blocking cookies in this manner will drive a wedge between brands and their customers, and it will make advertising more generic and less timely and useful,” - ad exec shitlord

I always find these kinds of targeted ads funny. I still have glasses ads floating around and my reaction is "you guys know that I just bought two pairs of glasses. That means that I don't loving need glasses anymore you stupid fucks."

But they're also creepy.
