  • There was a Jason Statham movie, The Mechanic, I think that had some ‘cool guy target practice in the woods moment’ and they were blasting off rounds and did a cool slo-mo so you could clearly see that they were firing crimped blanks. I’m sure next to no one noticed.

    Even less so in Dear John when Channing Tatum’s M4 turns into an M249 so you can see the links of the belt flying out when he shoots at someone.

    Point being, don’t leave town to dodge safety regulations and be surprised when unsafety happens.






  • I would call IT and give them error codes and attempted remedies. They would do house calls and leave with a few rip its. Everyone in my office usually had my call IT because they (my coworkers and the IT guys) knew I’d at least tried something. If someone else from the office called IT, they knew that I was out of the office or the user was lying about something.


  • I remember the day as well. I walked all through the store grabbing everything I needed and while waiting in the checkout I realized I forgot the milk. I laughed and said “Oh wow” then the guy behind me looked at me and I shrugged and said “I forgot the milk!” and left the line I’d been standing in for a few minutes to get the milk.

    My age at the time didn’t matter because it was on that day, I became old. Talking to strangers in the grocery store, forgetting to get the milk, and laughing about it? Old.



  • It depends who the Republicans and Democrats are. Republican Voters fell in love - Establishment Republicans fell in line. Republican Officials all talked about how terrible Trump was and would be but still get on their knees when it’s time.

    Democratic Voters fall in love, with Bernie and AOC and their guy. Establishment Democrats tell them to get in line… Well, the Voters either do or don’t show up.

    So, you’re correct that the original subversion was true but it also depends on who any individual commenter references as “The Dems” and “The Repubs” which you can always shift to suit your needs.

    The Republican party pretends they’re wagging the dog but they don’t even have a leash.




  • I’d give for free if they gave it for free. They rip people off for the stuff I freely gave? No, I’ll take a few bucks out of their profit, thanks.

    Besides, I usually can’t donate anyway but I give that shit all the time when I can. Especially when I know where it’s being used (for free.)
