A good prank though. Not our fault you lot can't tell the difference between them and a Koala, and it neatly avoids the dangers of a Drop Bear that has made a fresh kill and gotten its blood up, not to mention the retaliation of the janitorial staff who have to deal with the mess afterwards.

hi buddy! phiz kalifa here, noted socialist crank. i'm not mad at you specifically, because this is a really common sentiment which is, nevertheless, extremely self-defeating. what i need you to realize here is, by allowing the bosses to divide us up into individual states, we allow the money-men to hold an unhealthy amount of power. the people in tennessee deserve all the same rights and protections we deserve on the liberal elite coasts because workers only succeed when it's ALL of us versus them.

I like the cut of your job.

But we gave Tennessee a chance to join the union in 1861.

Also the "haha I wonder if all those employees who got injured will sue us now!" feels incredibly hosed up!!

Haha! We've had so many people cripple themselves in this store!

Yeah I was amused when I thought it was a bystander but it was an employee, which drastically changes the tone.

This attitude should be a huge red flag to the readers of this thread.

Also my wife and I went to a bookstore in the Pacific Northwest somewhere. I think in Seattle, but maybe Vancouver BC. Books just stacked EVERYWHERE and anywhere, with narrow aisles and lots of dead ends.

It was like two stories like that. I was genuinely anxious the whole time because I felt so claustrophobic and I usually don't feel that way. My wife was just in love with the smell and I can't blame her there.

you are almost certainly referring to MacLeod's Books in Vancouver. The fire marshal threatened to shut them down a couple of years ago so they aren't as bad as they were.

it's certainly charming, but it's also a death trap. the basement is the worst: a labyrinth of shelves, only one staircase, which is narrow even before being covered in books, on the opposite side of the store from the only door. Don't think I've been down there since they cleaned up due to the aforementioned threat from the fire marshal.

Seeing a motionless kid with traumatic amputation injuries as a teen would've been supremely upsetting, so I don't ever blame that one kid from running away.

I feel like the big red button should be replaced with a Deadman switch, so if the failsafe person, iunno, gets injured, incapacitated, or runs away from their position, it activates.

It's the same guy.

Stare at the sign on the left wall. The camera snaps to the left and down when the column in back falls, and dust covers the dude.

This makes it appear an entire floor fell on top of the dude, but all the wall and floor panels are shifted by the exact same amount as the sign on the left of the frame.
