My school was so bad that the kids either destroyed or stole every one of those and in the end one of my teachers had a single electric sharpener and you had to ask them to sharpen it for you. No one had mechanical pencils for long because other kids would steal them from you the second you got up from your desk to do something. I once found one of my own highlighters in a classroom I didn't even have class in.

Buzkashi posted:A teenage girl jumped on the metro tracks the other day in DC and thankfully the train stopped in time. But it gave us this gem of a facebook comment on the news story: I was kind of with this guy right up to that point where he mentioned commenting on the profile. A while back a guy here didn't want to live anymore so he dressed in black and lay down on the road. Hard to tell who killed him exactly because whoever did it didn't call it in, but one of my friends ran over the corpse and was freaked out about it for weeks. It especially sucked because she didn't have any option but to drive on that road and it just freaked her the gently caress out every time she had to go on it.

Otisburg posted:I remember when I unirionically supported vigilante justice. I know a disturbing amount of people not only support vigilante justice but also think the mob was "really, really good. They were all good guys you know, they only hurt bad people". and thinks the mafia should take over and run all of America. Completely unironically. Also every single one of these people is fat and white and the closest they've come to any sort of actual crime was like, getting pulled over for speeding and getting a warning instead of a ticket.

I see a lot of tourists come and go and a lot of times there's an older or crippled partner who doesn't really give a gently caress anymore but their husband or wife insists on basically marching everywhere demanding special treatment for them because they're old or broken or whatever while they're just sighing and trying to say it doesn't matter, they can manage fine as is they don't need it.

They will still need people to you know, cook the food and hand it to you. Not to mention that the majority of people who eat at McDonalds could never figure out how to use a touch interface meal selector, so they still need cashiers to take orders manually. On top of that, if they ever did replace all workers with touch screens, all it'd take is one moron with a pen to shut down a whole mcdonalds for a day.

It's either 'big celebrities who died in the last couple years' or 'now dead iconic musicians from the 70s and 80s', fit both of those two in and you push it too far. Michael Jackson's already pushing the former a bit far, but I'll still accept him if he's the only one pushing it. Recognizable pop-culture people who died.

I love when they rant about things like video games and comics being "ruined" by women too. Because you know, it's not like some of the best comics have been written or drawn by women, or that women have worked in game development for as long as anyone else. Or that women have been consuming these things as long as they have inoffensively. Suddenly it's ruined because people are starting to get tired of all the lovely nerds online making lame rape jokes and being complete creeps.

Chomp8645 posted:As for "sorting them out", it's the same reason lazy shifters get by in any number of large organizations. It's a beauracracy. Personal accountability for anything is low (unless scapegoat is needed for something). Nobody cares so much that you aren't pulling your weight as long as you aren't directly making their life harder. It's easier to ignore you or make you someone else's problem. In short: nobody gives a gently caress. The only time the hammer really comes down is if someone is loving up in combat situations repeatedly. But most military members don't perform a combat role, and those who do and aren't hacking it can be just transferred into truck driving to keep loving up there instead. Also to no one's surprise nepotism runs deep in the military and a lot of people get into positions they really shouldn't have, and wield power over people they shouldn't solely because they know a guy or are family.

I'm not playing with you anymore!!!" and would throw his controller and start angry crying? That kid is in his 20s now and never changed. I had a friend like this, he would get pissed off and turn off the console every time I started to win in a game whether it was smash bros or street fighter. I saw him a few years ago when I went to visit a friend that still lived in that town. That guy still lived with his parents, in their attic, and looked like a skeleton someone had dipped in paper mache. He posts angrily on the internet about his very important opinions about videogames and how women ruin them.

Right-wing racist party don't like what the "established" press digs up about them, so they either treat them horribly at press events (like refusing to give them chairs to sit on) or they specifically ban certain reporters.
