Is that a Dassault Rafale? There is no way that poster thinks that airplane is french. Or from Egypt or Qatar.

And the bomber weighed less, went slower, and had less fuel that was also less reactive.

And the bomber hit the Empire State Building's side, compared to the planes hitting the WTC dead center.

Also a lot of really neat damage was actually done. The building was on fire and put out in 40 minutes, and one of the bomber's engines shot through the building and took out a penthouse a few blocks over.

Last year I got into an argument with a guy in a store for carding me. Nothing against that aspect, but it's the fact that he was the manager and told someone to card me when he himself had sold me beer without issue just 2 hours earlier. Then called me a liar when I called him on it. What a prick.

I just finished a dismal two weeks as a BevMo assistant manager, and while they aren't very good at enforcing it, the chain's rule is "Card everyone, every time, no matter what they buy."

Since they're technically liquor stores they have to card kids buying anything since kids technically can't be in there without an adult (so we turned away kids buying energy drinks and root beer), and the cashiers will get in trouble if they use the "just punch in some year when the person is obvious" register option instead of the "scan the ID" one too many times in a week.

Whatever happened to those anyway? Did TVTropes just stop being funny or were goons just touching the poop too much?

I think that since troper tales was killed off, the TVTropes thread was basically an endless cyclical dissection of the "greatest hits" of tropers. It got pretty injokey and stupid in the thread with no new material incoming, and that sort of musty environment bring in the anime goons. Had to burn it. Burn it all.

Is there an Idiots on Quora thread? I foolishly signed up a year ago because I thought it'd be interesting, and now I receive stupid email summaries every week and I hate everyone on it.

That's just the stuff they think is worth sending out. Go to Quora and you'll find the thinnest crust of people answering actual technical questions and stuff perched precariously atop a thick mantle of morons using it to passive-aggresively blog with exceedingly specific questions, like "What's it like to have your mom not let you just eat a sandwich for dinner when you already said that's what you wanted?"

Then under that is the massive core, which is people, mostly in halting English, asking pathetic sex questions. Generally in the categories of "How to get American girlfriend," "How to increase penis power" and "How to trick people into accommodating foot fetish."

Thanks, this is going right into my collection of media moments where the cast has to explain the house rules for vampires. It's my favorite part of any vampire thing.

So when did he make the switch from spoons just being a useful stage prop because they're bendy in the middle to "Spoons are special repositories of magical potential"? Could he charge a fork with special energy or is he just a spoon specialist now?

Do stupid people review thrift stores? Yes.

I was in line behind a lady at a Goodwill donation center yesterday who decided to dress down the receiving guy for not taking her literal box of garbage. Like, she was donating a bunch of old lamps, and when he had gone through and picked up and carefully packaged all the lamps she just pulled the box out of her trunk and rattled it (it was full of light bulbs and papers) at him. He was like "I'm sorry, we can't take trash" and she scoffed and waved her hand at a dumpster on the other end of the parking lot, and was like "Just run it over there." He apologized again, said he was the only person working, and there was a line of cars. So she dropped into "And what's your name exactly? Because I've had enough of this attitude from you and you can be sure I'm going to call the store about this."

Like, it's a fuckin' Goodwill. He's standing outside behind it. You know how he got that job full well.
