  1. i just tried to sit on the porch and make a phone call. my porch faces east, so i thought i'd be fine. it's a fucking sauna out there.
  2. prosecute who for what, exactly? to what end?
  3. lol, i don't know the weather guy from anyone, but he went looking for that wreck with that dashcam. i mean, people should not road rage, but that was a clear merge situation signal or not. i think this ended exactly how the weatherman wanted, even if he wasn't conscious of that at all.
  4. fucking hell do we have the same supplier
  5. i once had a sales training from a british guy, real stuffy fucker, and quite a bully - every session, he picked the weak link and just punished them verbally. for some reason, he liked me well enough not to make me subject of his targeting, but i always felt bad for the folks he chose. anyways, his stance, as "ownership" was that if there is a strike of any kind, it's from a failure of management or ownership. end of story. his stance was that fundamentally people want to work, they don't want to strike, but they want to make a living. if it comes to basic voluntarily not working to make a point, then the threshold of pain has already been passed, and probably a long time ago when you weren't paying close enough attention. he always said that capital exists because of labor. this was a died in the wool tory, but he actually seemed to have his eyes on the prize, generally, which is amicable compromise where everyone makes some money. "unnamed studio executive" is everything wrong with executive "leadership" these days.
  6. i dunno that sounds pretty fucking metal
  7. i imagine most of it did come down to cells in excel rather than "who is doing a good job" kind of maths. the network has been directionless for quite some time though. launching the ocho is about the funniest thing they've done in, what, 20 years? aside from that, they've done a poor job with content. they keep thinking they are in the content creation business when they are in the content broadcast and analysis business. whatever. nobody ever asks me anything.
  8. i would've gone with he's on drugs.
  9. yes this movie seems to be pizzagate fantasy porn. like, if pizzagate and liam neeson with his special suite of skills actually existed
  10. lol bought and paid for i mean venmo??? I buy drugs with venmo from California with coded messages all the time. christmas party my ass
  11. that's pretty much every golf cart in port a though right? i don't know how much longer i can keep saying how much i love this state but have to explain away its trumpiness. it used to be the people and the attitude that supposedly made this state so unique. maybe i was wrong about that all along fuck i dunno
  12. richard garriott of local game designer and rich guy fame went on this thing or something like it into the marianna trench. he brought up something interesting as he has also been to space. he said he prefers space to water because in space is everything around you trying to get out into the vacuum. in water he said everything around you is trying to come in and crush you.
  13. this is how you use your powers for good instead of evil yall
  14. i mean, 1998 is no fucking slouch year either. 90s was fulls of bangers
  15. i don't care what stats you have to fucking juke, nothing was longer or hotter than that 2011 summer. good sweet christ. the fucking state nearly burned down.
  16. this person has tempered it a bit, but he tries from all kinds of angles, this movie being the most recent. now that i'm seeing behind the curtain, this movie looks like nutter shit, and makes me feel a bit like all the patriot afghanistan war movie stuff - just a bit dirty. it all feels scummy, like you are being had. it's a lot like the feeling i got when a cab driver in athens basically switched my 50 euro note with a 10 when i looked away. i knew something was wrong but we were at the airport and shit was happening so fast, and i must have given him a 10, so here's another 50 and keep the change. then you get all your shit out of the cab, ready to fly to crete, and you look in your wallet and you fucking know that guy just stole from you. you knew something was wrong at the time, but you couldn't place your finger on just what was wrong, because you're a decent person and it would never occur to you to just boldly steal somebody's money like that. that's the creepy vibe i'm getting from all this.
  17. the thing that made me suspect was that the immigration one in particular got to me. that's what this movie is kind of cloaked in, like you alluded to earlier - it's child trafficking! surely you aren't FOR DRINKING ADRENOCHREME FROM BABIES YOU VAMPIRE. but the fact that i saw that commercial, and nodded like "hey, yeah, that actually made sense" made my "being sold some bullshit scam" spidey sense tingle.
  18. holy shit, he's fucking off his nut. i had no idea he was that crazy. jesus christ, everything i hear from this family member is just gilded shit.
  19. you know what it reminds me of? the he gets us jesus commercials. they SEEM well meaning, but the people that tout them are suspect. there has to be something wrong there, too. i can't identify it, but i can feel the manipulation under the surface.
  20. so a family member was talking to me about this. this family member is pretty conservative, pretty much a wide-eyed christian who is also maga. it's weird. a very good person, but full of strange contradictions. anyways, because of this, i'm usually suspect when he comes all wide-eyed about something important, like this movie hitting number one. my antennae went up when he mentioned jim caviezal, because of the whole jesus thing, but i dismissed that as role bias. then he got into how it was about human trafficking, etc, and i was thinking hmm, maybe it's one of those hyper-patriotic types of things that will ultimately be ironic because immigration politics vs trafficking, but i didn't feel like breaking anyone's brain, much less my own, so i just set it aside. however, i've seen it going around, and now i'm fully on guard that this is somehow dangerous. i don't even know how, but i feel like i need to know how they are going to weaponize human trafficking to make life worse for undesirable people. fucking hell. fuck. FUCK.
  21. holy fucking shit
