My understanding is that Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner basically just spend every day together hanging out.


Jerry Seinfeld pretty much sucks now, but the episode of Comedians in Cars getting coffee with Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner is pretty great. He goes to the deli and brings stuff back to Reiner's house and watches TV with them like they do every night. It's season 1 episode 9 on Netflix.

It also complicates things when you do a whoopsie with your debit card and it wasn't actually lost you just didn't look at what you were paying for. Credit cards can get that sorted out without the money leaving your account (cos they can charge the vendor two processing fees!) while with debit it's gone and you have to go begging to the bank.

Chuds like to pretend that Switzerland has a low crime rate because the citizens are armed which proves that the second amendment is good, makes people safer and lowers crime. When in reality they're counting home guardsmen with their service rifles as an armed citizens for their statistics.

A rifle that must be kept secured and is only ever brought out in case of war.

Men who are doing their service need to get their accuracy certified every year so bring their rifles to the range or they get fined. Active duty carry their rifles around with them when they're reporting in or out. So I see a lot of rifles on a daily basis but they're not loaded and the stocks are folded in or detached or something (I'm not a gun guy).

After reading through this entire thread my takeaway is this:

1: there some absolutely hilarious tweets and posters around

2: Twitter is a garbage format like goddamn. Every single time I see someone posting "a thread" or a 1/69 notifier I can't believe people actually went from blogs or normal forums back to a format where you can post like 250 characters, and are using it to post legitimate content instead of stupid one liners.

agreed, but what does that say about the alternatives?

I think the big difference with Reeves is that he's stated before that he doesn't do his own stunts, but he does perform his own fight scenes. Also, he doesn't really flaunt it around. There's nothing like the MI movies that have entire segments of their marketing campaigns centered around Tom Cruise jumping out of planes and poo poo. Also from what I've heard Reeves these days takes the lowest amount of money possible for staring in a movie, which is still like a million dollars, but to compare you've got assholes out there who command 20 million dollar per movie salaries for some god drat reason.

Because rear end in a top hat studios are making hundreds of millions of dollars off of their work and Hollywood is an industry where nobody gets paid if they're not an rear end in a top hat about it. The Hollywood Economist is a really good book about it.

The best one of those that I read about existed in Nook reviews and was some kind of massive RPG I think. There was this big community of otherwise completely shut off teenagers (many of whom were permanently grounded for being gay or trans) who followed messages to go to review #146 of The Collected Short Stories of Edgar Allen Poe. I can't find it at the moment unfortunately.

I forget who pointed it out, but a goon made the excellent point that when Gritty was investigated for allegedly punching a teenager, all of the media commented on the story as if it was the character himself who was accused of wrongdoing. Not "The Flyers employee who wears the Gritty suit may have punched a teen", but "Gritty may have punched a teen."

Gritty is a force of nature and I love him.

Britain had a mascot accused of loads of ridiculous stuff: https://medium.com/whatahowler/how-cyril-the-swan-became-the-uks-most-notorious-mascot-5422b59c1342

quote:

How Cyril the Swan became the UK’s most notorious mascot
Beginning in the late ’90s, Swansea City’s mascot was accused of all manner of fowl play, from inciting riots and head butting a referee to attacking other mascots and even a rival coach, all while saving the club’s financial fortunes. Then the nine-foot-tall bird became the prime suspect in a serious assault.

Can I just say as well that that's a loving pittance to write a fluid mechanics paper. These essay mills are selling themselves short.

It's OK, I'm sure they'll just either write a terrible paper or use something that someone once wrote about fluid dynamics somewhere else.
