I think that person was running on a quarter-mile long track and thought one lap around was a mile. A 16 minute mile for someone with no training sounds pretty believable.

I'm totally willing to believe almost all of that, there's nothing that over the top except for Customer 2 randomly giving the manager :20bux:.

That sounds like exactly the type of person who makes unreasonable complaints to try to scam free food.

The STDH is coming from E/N:

Nah, actually it was the previously mentioned creepy teacher. Dude was openly hitting on all the girls around him, I told him that he was being creepy and to knock it off. He grumbled about me being an rear end in a top hat before continuing to make sure all the girls knew he taught at an all girl high school for 20 years that he was fired from.

Then I looked over and saw him literally grope the girl in front of him. I then pushed him out of the crowd and told him to get the gently caress out of here. I got a good 6 high-fives, and a ton of thank you's from everyone around me.

About half an hour later, I see him pushing his way back in. I stepped right over, told him to loving leave one more time. He hesitated and pushed forward again, I pushed him back.

:catstare: NO, get the gently caress out of here!
:butt: I'm going to call security on you.
:catstare: What?
:butt: I'm going to call security on you.
:catstare: Go for it!

I pushed him back again and security rolled up independently.

:cop: If you touch someone again, you're out of here!
:catstare: this dude is being a creepy piece of poo poo! Ask anyone around me.

In the background I hear a bunch of voices pretty much agreeing with me. Security guy's focus shifts to Creepy Teacher. It wasn't even two seconds and Security guy has Creepy Teacher in a neck hold and the last I see of him is he's being dragged out of there. This all happened before the show even started.

It was a literal porn shooting if I remember right. Like there's a video out there somewhere of some softcore posing and the frog was just on the side like "well then..."

The girl went by "Next Door Nicky." Yes, I remember. Yes, I'm ashamed that I remember.

To be fair, I cursed like a sailor around other kids when I was about nine or ten. Not around adults though. And never to my parents.

Yea that jumped out at me. If a 10 year old says "Holy poo poo yea" to a parent they're going to get a "Don't swear!" lecture, not praise.

And I'm sure someone will respond saying that their parent was cool and let them say gently caress when they were 6 or something but that ain't normal.

So, if it's widely known what MLMs are, and how much of a scam they are, why do people still buy into that garbage?

I've seen otherwise intelligent people totally ruined by Advocare and ItWorks!, and it's frustrating, because I tell them right to their face that they're an idiot, but they all swore they'd be driving around in a Benz, making thousands of dollars a week, "just wait and see!"

So why do people still fall for these scams?

It ties deeply into people's ideals about the American Dream "you can be your own boss!" and their Protestant work ethic "You have to hustle! Sell, sell, sell!"

It's no wonder it goes over famously with the religious crowd in particular.

I've always wondered if that bit was scripted or improv, cracks me up every time.

The Edgar Wright movies are heavily scripted, what with all the setup and payoff, I doubt very much it was improv'd.

It kind of defeats the point of the story about how the mean ol' city made you kill your tree for presumably no good reason when you go on to show that improperly planted trees are in fact a hugely destructive thing and should be avoided at all costs.

Do you really get told about the Kristallnacht and atrocities of the Holocaust at 11 yo? I figured you wouldn't go into details on that subject until a bit later?

Growing up Jewish, I got told all about the Holocaust early and often, so yes, definitely. It's not uncommon for grade schools to do field trips to Holocaust museums.

I just spent an hour reading about uber ratings. That is some hosed up stuff and it makes the drivers act all kinds of crazy. Like fake casual conversation, bottles of water and mints.

Then came the passenger rating system and now the drivers are getting revenge on the passengers by giving them low ratings for things like parents needing to bring their kids places or not tipping well enough.

Watch the "Nosedive" episode of Black Mirror to see where this process ends up.

Flat earth is the best conspiracy theory because I can't imagine the end game of the shadowy Jews globalists who convinced us that the world is round. Chemtrails, 9/11, fluoride, I can understand the theoretical benefit one would gain from those evil machinations. But what good is it if you convince everyone the earth is round?

quote:

As the oddly hypnotic video below reveals, globes are still made using more or less the same method Martin Behaim used in 1492, but on an entirely different scale. Globes were hand-assembled luxury items until the 1930s, when two rival American globe companies—one in Indianapolis founded by map publisher George F. Cram, and another in Chicago headed by a school supply salesman named Luther Replogle—used mass production and canny marketing to reinvent globes as an affordable staple of middle-class homes. Sales ballooned from about 5,000 per year in 1930 to 300,000 per year a decade later. Lower prices drove the boom, but manufacturers also saw increased demand on the heels of world events: People actually waited in line to buy globes after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. At the height of the Cold War, globes were the best way to understand the over-the-pole threat posed by the Soviet Union, and Replogle’s company alone was making 2,000 globes a day.

:siren: PEARL HARBOR WAS A FALSE FLAG FOR BIG GLOBE! :siren:

This makes so much sense. What else does World War accomplish? Redefine countries borders! And you know what that means, everyone's gotta buy NEW GLOBES.

Holy gently caress I'm really onto something here.
