On the other, I get it, because gently caress that guy.
I saw a video of the prank guy after the acquittal and he appears to have learned literally nothing.

But now there's a precedent that shooting this guy for being a gently caress is legal so maybe he'll learn the next time.

I once went to a lake with some friends and had a great time. We kayaked on the otherwise empty lake with nothing but the sound of gentle lapping of waves. Spent all day there dicking around and doing whatever we wanted. It started getting into evening and another group arrived at the lake. My friend said “I know who that is. He was the biggest douchebag in my high school and always creeped on every girl” which wasn’t a surprise as the lake was butted up to the tiny town my friend is originally from and everyone knows everyone.

We kept some space between our party and theirs but eventually he got rowdy enough to start driving his lifted bro tank over the sand, splashing water and hooting and hollering and being wreckless.

We got to lay our beach towels down on the sand about fifty yards away and drink beers and watch his truck slowly sink into a lake as he yelled his voice away for two hours blaming everyone but himself and pleading that he had to be at work 2 hours away in the morning. Then we put out our fire and left for the city.

Foxfire_ covered it, as well as it not actually being a thing because having allergies is a small price to pay for not having a gut full of tapeworms. My extremely niche joke was that you were making me reevaluate the latter.

I have adhd. Tried a couple meds and they jacked my anxiety through the roof to the point that l was better off dealing with the difficulty with focus and executive dysfunction without. Coffee helps a lot when I need to focus and actually get poo poo done, but if I overdo it I do from being easily distracted and unmotivated to "I'm going to fixate on a single idea for three hours and get absolutely nothing done. Also I will forget to eat until like an hour before bedtime."

It's a tricky balance sometimes. I'm aware that I could build up a tolerance but I'm careful not to. My dad became outright dependent on it to function for a few decades and would have some pretty awful withdrawals. Took him a while to cut the stuff out of his routine. I don't want that for myself, so I try to limit my intake.

Still, can't imagine the kind of hell I'd be in if I had as much as the Panera lady did.
See? I know what I'm talking about :v: I also have adhd but I've been pretty lucky with my meds since I got diagnosed, I'm way less anxious on them than I've been forever

I kept walking until I was out of the herd and he went back to grazing or sleeping or whatever I didn't exactly check

LOL this is what happened to the Blade 2 crew in the Czech Republic when they shot the blood bank scene. The art department found a bunch of "cool looking blue lamps" in the basement of the old hospital they were shooting in and used them in the production design (you can seem them hanging from the ceiling in the opening of the movie). The crew started suffering burning, tearing eyes and the on-set medics couldn't figure out what was going on. They finally brought in a Czech doctor who explained to them that the lamps were Soviet-era UV disinfectant lamps that were used instead of expensive antibacterial cleaning products. You turn the lamps on, leave loving room, and an hour later the room is sanitized. They wrapped shooting for the day and everyone went back to their hotel rooms to lay down in the dark and hope they didn't go blind. There weren't any permanent injuries but a bunch of people reported the top layer of skin on their eyeballs peeling off over the next day or two.
Here's a link to the scene:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TpOgCneqPE
My experience of Blade II went something like:
Guy goes into a blood bank waiting room that is being bathed with a dozen giant, almost comically telegraphed hospital-grade UV lights. This must be some kind of post-veil scenario where at least some people know vampires exist so the blood bank is protected by anti-vampire lamps. Cool, cool, very on board for this. This weird pale guy looks all sick, he must be a vampire being affected by the UV here to rob the blood bank. Ah, they're pretending they don't know he's a vampire so they can capture him or something, I bet Blade is going to Blade at him, the doctor must be Blade's new Blade friend.

Wait, they're the vampires? And he's some kind of something else? Maybe the point of that scene was to show that this guy is a bit vulnerable to daylight but not much. Yeah, because Blade is the daywalker but this guy is some kind of twilight walker deal. That makes sense. But why were the vampires zapping their own waiting room with UV? To keep out rival vampires? Oh, he's some kind of mutant, they must have been trying to hurt this guy because they knew he was coming but he was stronger than they thought. No... they're saying this is the first they heard of him. Obviously they're lying to throw Blade off the case...

(and so on)

Me after the film: "I had a hard time keeping track of all the sub-plots and I still don't get how the vampire doctor lady was able to walk through the anti-vampire waiting room safely."
My friends: "...what?"
