Because this was in Action Park, and the person who owned it was a libertarian who stuck to his values. Their reasoning probably went something like: Why close the slide? If people think it’s dangerous, they don’t have to use it.

I think the best part is that Action Park was known for allowing its customer to order as much alcohol as they wanted. So high probability that if you went down that slide, you were shitfaced.

You gotta drink water from the far side of the glass.

I learned to ride and loved it. After 2 years of getting a different perspective on how people drive in cars, I’ll never do it again. It’s insane what people think they can do while also operating a 1 ton hunk of metal flying down the highway at 70 mph. Cars should really not be the default form of transportation for most people.

This looks like a show down.

Tram be like:

"You’re big because the single person inside you is insecure.

I’m big because there are 100 people inside me.

We are not the same."

I knew it from Futurama, but you learn something new every day!

That’s why nobody drives in New York. Too much traffic.

Focusing climate change on individual contribution alienates people from the movement. Instead of wasting your energy making one person feel bad, maybe focus on the corporations that are actually responsible for producing that CO2 and cutting down those forests while hiding that reality from the consumer.

Lol ass-dogs

On a serious note, does anyone else get some serious Dunning-Kruger vibes from this? Like serious scientists and experts in the field are very specificly saying that these are not dire wolves. The only people saying they are dire wolves are the owners of the private company that made them. A company with an invested economic interest in people believing them. I’m not an expert geneticist, but I hope you’ll excuse me if I believe the scienctists over the people saying, “you can tell it’s a direwolf by the way that it is!” so that they can make money.

If the main way rich people get their news is through network TV, doesn’t that give protesters an advantage? If the movement is larger than rich people expect it to be, they’ll dismiss it until it’s too big to ignore.

He wants a depression, so that his friends can buy everything up. Rich people always come out on top during economic down turns.

Someone posted another article that has a interview with an independent scientist, and I think it’s rather illuminating.

Meachen is impressed with Colossal’s announcement but remains skeptical.

“I don’t think they are actually dire wolves. I don’t think what we have is dire wolves,” Meachen told ABC News. “What we had is something new – we have a mostly gray wolf that looks like a dire wolf.”

Shapiro disagrees with that thinking.

“I think that the best definition of a species is if it looks like that species, if it is acting like that species, if it’s filling the role of that species then you’ve done it,” she said.

So their only criteria for “Is it a dire wolf,” is yupp, looks like one and behaves like one, even though every real scientist is skeptical. This is, never the less, still impressive technology, but bringing back extinct animals seems more like a marketing gimic than a description of what they’re actually doing.

Flawless logic. Never mind that no one alive has ever observed a dire wolf.

It’s even worse than that. The Oscars began as a tool to prevent unionization in the film industry.

Personally, I find the insinuation that I can’t make a 26 part YouTube series about how collect all the rings in every sonic game, AND document every kind of beetle in my local province, belittling and insulting.

It’s weird that they asked Johanasson for a comment and not the judge that denied her restraining order.

Didn’t they want this? Haven’t they been trying to install a fascist dictatorship for literal decades? Did they forget that fascism is bad and nobody likes it?

They’re cosplaying femininity, the same way their husbands are cosplaying masculinity with big trucks.

They’re basically drag queens but ugly and mean.

That’s actually fake too. I didn’t read the whole thing and just assumed it was the original fake tweet. This one is much better.

Guy with long, storied history of hating unions destroys unions. Like did they even try to think about their decision?
