A small town near me put up a parklet in one parking space along their incredibly quiet main street for 3 days. It has barricades and some astroturf and a few chairs. Most people found it cute, a couple people on the internet got a little upset.

Dude if you're not trolling you should realize it's way less work to just call them "First Peoples" in a macro context and then specify by tribe as circumstances dictate--exactly the same way we did with "Native Americans" and "Indians" before--than quibble over semantics.

Lol@the Milliennials that got fired over this. Something tells me the same people who got fired over being too petulant to work an easy shift are the same people blaming the economy for why they are un/underemployed. As someone who had to work 7 years to get enough seniority just to have weekends off I'm not super sympathetic over someone whining that they have to work an overnight shift on a Saturday. Especially if they are willing to get fired over it.

quick reminder at what ekuNNN and FogHelmut are defending:

We recently started a weekend over night shift where all you have to duo is answer one call and watch Netflix.

First moron they put on the job kept calling off every Saturday and loudly bragging "they're not gonna fire me!" She got fired.

Second idiot they put on the job got fired two days later when she uploaded snapchat after snapchat of the 8 people she invited in the office to party during the overnight shift.

HOW COULD PEOPLE GET FIRED FOR THIS???

If you care about vaping but own a fireplace or have ever lined your kids up around a bonfire you are a dumbass hypocrite. I don't smoke or vape - but I do think it's hilarious people give a massive poo poo about toxic crap in some contexts but are totes 100% A-OK with it in others. Like some guy smoking a cig in the park is infuriating but let me just go home and start up the fireplace and carpet bomb the entire neighborhood in cancer particles

An Orange County daredevil famous on YouTube for jumping off buildings and landmarks was placed under investigation by police after reportedly jumping from a Laguna Beach hotel last week and injuring himself.

Anthony Booth Armer, 28, of Laguna Niguel was hospitalized after injuring his feet when a stunt went awry at the Pacific Edge Hotel on South Coast Highway.

In a YouTube video posted on New Year’s Day, Armer – known as 8Booth – is seen jumping off of a rooftop and striking a concrete pool edge with his feet before tumbling into the water.

The two-and-a-half minute video with more than 1 million views also shows photos of the injuries Armer sustained in the late-night incident. He posted another video Tuesday of hospital technicians pulling bandages from his feet.

The Laguna Beach Police Department was notified of the incident after a hotel manager called Thursday, Sgt. Tim Kleiser said.

The manager saw on surveillance footage from the previous night that someone was trespassing on hotel property around 8:20 p.m., Kleiser said. Employees apparently came across Armer.

“There were two employees that told the manager about it,” Kleiser said. “One of the employees assisted a female friend of (Armer) and helped him get into a car and they drove off.”

Kleiser said the employees offered to call an ambulance for Armer but the pair refused.

Armer started a GoFundMe page Monday asking people to help him raise $10,000 for his medical expenses. He had raised more than $1,200.

“I am still in the hospital,” Armer wrote on the page. “Just seeking a little support to keep doing what I'm doing or else I'll be working the rest of my life to pay this off. Asking a small favor from you. A donation of any kind would be phenomenal.”

Armer was arrested in October for two misdemeanor counts related to other jumps, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

I know the NFL is just salivating to get money out of that media market but LA is just not a football town, and they should know it by now.

They might get more money, but then again they might not. To an organization as conservative as the NFL if it's not guaranteed money, it doesn't exist.

Because the planning system in England is ruled by Daily Mail reading NIMBY Nazis like the Campaign to Protect Rural England who think that the peasantry shouldn't be blocking their views of fields with their jumped-up mud huts, and that's more important than the UK's appalling housing shortage and subsequent insane property prices (from which these people benefit, fygm) and sky-high levels of homelessness. Besides, if we build enough houses, brown-skinned people might live in them and that would be so frightful our monocles might fall out.

He woke up, took a handful of pills and flew the plane to Costa Rica, presumably.

I was on a plane that was running late, and toward landing everyone was scrambling to figure out how to get to their connection. A bunch of us all realized we were going to Pittsburgh on the same flight, but it was going to be a matter of minutes to get there on time.

Weirdly enough the rest of the plane seemed to act like normal humans and let the connections deplane immediately.

All of us were looking for the same gate and for like 3 seconds were pretty unified on figuring out where to go and how. It was far away. Then we all just loving ran, like, just scattered in all directions.

I get there and they've just closed the gate doors and I am actually happy that I can just die right there on the floor in an completely empty terminal. The airline worker opens the door and I go "oh, here's my ticket" and she lets me on.

So I walk down the tunnel and cross my fingers that I can find an overhead spot quickly. The plane is completely empty, not a single person of the dozens. I find my seat and toss my bag into an overhead, and notice there actually is someone else here - a like 300 year old lady that was sitting behind me on the previous flight.
