What the gently caress is wrong with these people. Who talks like that? If you wrote that in a script as lines for a predator they'd get re-written.

I dunno what people expected after the Borat movie. Homey wasn't "adjusting his shirt". It was exactly what it looked like, and Guliani is exactly what he looked like.

I guess I didn't expect a grown rear end adult and former mayor of our largest city to just yell MY TITS MY TITS like a 3 year old, but I realize I should let go of old societal standards.

All the dipshit had to do was shut up, let a couple books get ghost written, and take corporate speaking gigs where he'd spend 30 minutes talking about 9/11, and he would have been set for a life most of us could only dream of obtaining. Instead, he let his loving idiot sexpest id out and here we are.

There’s probably a 19-page thread in TCC from 2010 with an average 4.14 rating where some poster talks about their experiences with a compound called 5-NMP3s-Dioxide-Ferro-Bismuth-69-DPT-dimethylbenzanote-81, which sets in motion a chain of events where goons discover that heating it to a certain temperature and inhaling it via a balloon gives the user wild hallucinations of the future or times long past. Gradually, this becomes known as “doing the Kessel Run” with posters lambasting others for not doing a high enough dose as “dumping their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.” The thread eventually dwindles off as the most prolific posters abruptly stop posting, leading many to speculate that they’ve OD’d. In actuality, they’ve discovered the first steps toward traveling through time and space, a fact that won’t be realized until archaeologists unearth a new part of the Parisian catacombs and find a slightly newer skeleton wearing a Casio wristwatch next to a much older skeleton with “MY NIGGA HAVE YOU TRIED LSD?!” scrawled on a nearby wall with the ashes of a dead torch.

Current event: they really did make baseball fun again

For your rewatches: watch the ump realize what was about to go down and turn into a referee. Also, watch who throws first and who throws last. And there appears to be no lead-up to this, the Cleveland player got a hit to the corner, beat it out for a double, then they start woofing and a hockey game breaks out.

Tom Hamilton, the Guardians' radio play by play guy is the best radio guy in baseball.

The author claims that postwar inspection showed that they had something like 9-10,000 planes and plenty of fuel hidden away, and that the one-way trips most of these would have taken would have been an extremely simple navigational problem� takeoff from Honshu and use the coasts and/or interior of Japan as navigational references, to make a short flight southwest to the invasion fleet.

And like so many people in the US, my grandpa was on one of those boats heading toward Japan, so I'm never going to be impartial about the nukes. Maybe in another generation.

Yup. Mine was a gunner in the first carrier task force and already made it to Okinawa, so he'd have had a front row seat.

It was some bullshit where there would be a very limited number of licenses for growing the only legal weed in the state, and they would be given to the most hated rich assholes.

Win-win for the corrupt state politicians. Either they get to say The People voted down legal weed, or their rich buddies corner a lucrative market.

The sort of people who would protest this are the exact sort of cowards that will only do so until they meet even the most breezy of opposition.

And sometimes that opposition is high humidity and lack of a breeze.

The 757 can do it. Delta and United were flying fully loaded ones across the Atlantic prior to COVID and I think United has resumed doing so. With only a couple people on board, it would presumably have more range.

Can confirm. Have ridden a 757 in 3x3 domestic configuration from Cleveland to Gatwick. Will never do that again.

Trump dying when his plane crashes into the north Atlantic on his way to flee to Russia because he was as cheap with maintenance as he is with everything else would be goddamn hilarious.

There's definitely a surge going on right now. There's a new "variant of concern" called Eris that apparently has the potential for even more immune evasion than other Omicron variants, although it doesn't appear to be more virulent than its counterparts. That said, I know several people who never got COVID from 2020 onward who have gotten this one, so basically you have an infinitely more likely chance of successfully participating in the Eris world tour than you do the Eras tour.

I'll show myself out.

I'm currently one of these stats, and on day 5 of a very mild case. I've got all the vax/boosters and have evaded for 3.5 years, but one of my kids got me because she had so mild of a case that we thought it was allergies until I had a stuffy nose and tickly throat on friday afternoon and then woke up at 4AM with body aches and tested both of us.

Doctor's office confirmed there's been an uptick in our area.
