I’m someone’s favorite.
“is a lengthy time consuming process”
No, it REALLY isn’t, and any pig that tells you otherwise is trying to get you to drop the issue so they don’t have more paperwork.
They don’t give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it’s a complete waste to even contact them over “petty theft”, regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.
Can you truly say you’ve had the HB experience if you haven’t recieved emoji/sticker/gif spam from people who weren’t alive for 9/11, have never been outside their country, and refuse to listen to opposing views, but know with full certainty that all western countries are 100% full of genociders and colonial rapists who all deserve the glorious death the super benign, extremely peaceful and misunderstood countries of North Korea, China, and Russia who have never once been correctly accused of human rights violations…
And of course, if they point out that your country has dipped into those things in the past, well your entire worldview is shattered and their whataboutism has solved everything and proves you deserve the death they crave for you.
native Americans in spaghetti westerns.
I’m not sure how it is in Italy, but a lot of the older Italians I know absolutely love old westerns (of… Varying quality)
The only spiders I want gone are the ones that can kill me, and the ones that get too close to me.
If I see one setting up a web in the distant corner? Hell yeah Bro catch all the pests you can.
Crawl toward me less than a foot away? Sorry smash but you sealed your own fate.
Surprisingly, in the Midwest.
I have a friend who works for a local, but widespread bank, and got to head up their digital security and IT stuff. Not sure what all it encompasses, but he quickly found out that it was a lot, and the previous guy quit because he had had enough bullshit.
Long story shorter, after a particularly bad week, he decided to just… Stop doing his job.
Kept all their legal stuff and sensitive info under lock and key, but the smaller stuff, he just let it go. Went on vacation, turned everything off, didn’t do everything for a temporary replacement (which isn’t even his job, it’s hr’s) and spent a week playing video games and spending time with his wife and baby.
Several employees just in his building basically ended up doing nothing by the end of the first day because they had locked themselves out of the system.
By day 3 there were several lines that couldn’t be used by the tellers in every branch, older employees were bricking their systems so fast, construction workers started taking notes.
By the end of the week they had people showing up at his door to try and contact him since nobody could get ahold of him. Some legit thought he was dead.
His first words when he got into the office on Monday, we’re “THAT is why you pay me.”
And after that, he was given 3 people to help out (he had been asking for 4) and they had a company come in and redo a lot of the computer systems that year.
Still works for the bank, still has a team although I think they’re bigger now since they’ve opened a few more branches, and still tells that story at every gathering after his one single beer gets him tipsy.
Is it just me, or do programmers only come in “lightweight” and “Rivals Þor in trying to drink the oceans dry” varieties?
Honestly, this right here is the main reason I don’t believe any real-world bending would end any way other than Earth Kingdom dominance. Peaceful dominance, hopefully.
You can’t wipe out their infrastructure as long as someone is alive who knows how it’s done.
Oh, fire nation bulldozed your house because they felt like it? Well boom. Stomp stomp punch. New identical house made of stone.
Bridge collapsed to cause chaos? Stomp stomp punch, it’s back.
Don’t feel safe living out in the open where fire nation scouts could murderhobo you harder than my last D&D group? Stomp stomp punch, now you have a vast mansion underground in which you can simply… Not go above ground until you need to.
Of course, underground living isn’t simple as “hole in ground, hide all day” but still… There is 0 reason the EK shouldn’t go full Vietnam War tactics.
Demo ranch. Started making comments about the George Floyd protests and I was out
AvE started praising the trucker convoys
Shadiversity got super homo/transphobic and also is just an arrogant douche since his book.
Big “as a gay black man” energy.
I’m confident half of my highschool debate team could wipe the floor with Trump, including the ones who quit because it was boring to them.
But can they wipe the floor, AND get elected?
The sad reality is that is our choice.
Eat a shit sandwich, or let the entire house get set on fire.
There’s a secret third option, but most are too comfortable with their lives. ✊✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿
Frodo straight up cursed smeagol.
He sealed his own fate when he laid hands on Frodo trying to take it. Literally cursed him to fall into the crack of Doom to be destroyed alongside the ring.
Frodo has a little bit of the Ainur in him, methinks.
OI WHY IZ YOUZ WISPERIN’
But then how will you know where it is?
I legitimately know people who hold the belief that Satan put all fossils in the ground to “lead us astray”
The same people, when speaking a different time, have said that GOD put them there as a test of your faith.
And I know unrelated people who believe fossils aren’t real, and that the shells I can literally point out in limestone all around the area are less than 6000 years old, or just rocks that look like shells/coral.
I once got kicked out of Sunday school for explaining everything after the big bang as our best scientific estimates tell us, at least from an astronomical, geological, and biological point of view.
EDITORS NOTE: I kind of went on a rambling rant-anecdote here. Feel free to skip.
Like how stars form, galaxies, how supernovae made everything possible, how a planet forms, how biology can be kick started from non living things over a super long stretch of time (possibly many times over with few or one actually making it to even single celled organisms) and how evolution does NOT say we came from monkeys any more than I say you came from your cousin (your mileage may vary in Alabama and Georgia(both))
The Sunday school person let me continue until I finished and then she laughed and said “isn’t that funny everyone?” and all the kids laughed at me.
Jokes on her, her 3 children are all PHDs who don’t talk to their parents anymore after “embracing a life of sin”. Which I count as a win for her children.
My mother had to come get me and I wasn’t allowed to return for a few weeks because some kids went and told their parents who got all butt hurt.
While my parents were way more religious then (still are, just not as much) they never once tried to punish me, tell me I was wrong, or even told me not to say things like that in church. And they weren’t shy about telling me when I was wrong or being a little shit.
Also: “Is this humor?”
I take a weird amount of pleasure in hearing people laugh at something homo/transphobic or racist, and asking “Oh, I love jokes, especially inside ones, what’s the joke here?”
Plenty of people actually try to explain “why” it’s funny but it just wraps around to “I find racist things funny especially if it’s against my preferred group to target”
And if they try to bring their “version” of statistics into an argument, I go “OH so you find incorrect numbers funny? I get it.” and then make up some bullshit that disparages something they’re likely to enjoy to make it seem like a bad thing, and laugh.
LPT: take some improve classes that make you go out of your comfort zone, you can have a LOT of fun messing with people when you’re more practised at ad-libbing and being in uncomfortable situations.
Or other LPT: don’t, and save the energy.
It finally clicked for a friend when I asked him if he knew how old the “young women” were in another case, and he said “I don’t know… 25?” which then got corrected to “16 or 17” when I reminded him that the “young women” in question were minors.
So finally I called out and asked his daughter to show us the cool picture she was working on in the study, and she excitedly runs in to show us. She was 9 at the time.
I asked him how he enjoyed the picture that “young woman” drew for us. I literally saw the change on his face when it clicked.
Hide a bin ladin or demon core in there and you’re good to go
Hanlon’s Razor and all that, but I just assume that’s to drive up interaction in the post.
Rant/ramble ahead, you can skip:
By misspelling something, or just doing/saying something that common sense should say is wrong (“life hack, I just discovered this thing that literally every 5 year old already knows about”) you will draw out all the people who are genuinely trying to help, people who just can’t help themselves but smugly correct someone, people who THINK they know the right way but aren’t sure, people who claim to have never seen the right way before, and all the bitch fights such comments produce.
The increased interactions make the post do better in algorithms, which means it goes out to more and more people, who continue the cycle.
My wife watches short form endless scrolling videos despite knowing how bad those are for your mental health, and some of the people she stops to watch are CONSTANTLY pulling the “common sense says otherwise” one. Like my dude you did NOT just figure out in your 20s that you can wait for the shower to warm up before you get in. Literal toddlers know better. It’s such a simple thing, I genuinely do not believe anyone in their 20s just gets in the shower while the water is still cold because they never figured out they can wait for the warm water. But hoooo boy did their video take off and have millions of views, and thousands of comments about how wild that is.
I’m going out with a girl after work and we’re gonna play in the park.
(It’s my wife and I’ll be riding my bike while she tries to get used to inline skates again. We’re in our 30s.)
But for real I miss being able to just… Enjoy a playground. Go throw rocks at the creek with friends. Have sword battles with sticks we found while walking by the trees.
But if I do that, people call the cops because some old guy is clearly confused and wandering around…
