One of these hung out near my parents house one summer when I was a kid and made a hunting strategy out of grabbing prey birds mid flight and dive bombing them into the bay windows of our living room

Just saying “my city did it and it was great” doesn’t tell anyone anything

Nah, Dean Norris has seemed pretty cool everywhere I’ve seen him. He’s an actor who naturally looks like a CHUD, so he gets cast to play cops and military dudes and things like that, but like 90% of his social media posts are trolling Andrew Tate-type morons and other right wing jerks.

this is the internet.

Don’t catch you clickin now

I had a beautiful moving in the bathroom this morning after a few cups of coffee

Well that’s epistemological ephemera for ya

I give it 90 seconds after that moment until their searching for the old reference lands them on some new and better reference they’d rather use instead

[says that out loud in American English]

Yeah this all checks out

Another comment in this thread has a link to a source confirming the die is real, doesn’t mention the pillar tho

I am sort of amazed that between Charles Dickins and other serialized writers’ zeal for selling stuff and the Goths’ tendency to love superstitious parlor games somehow nobody in 1800s era ever managed to come up with a tabletop storytelling dice game (at least that I’ve ever heard of)

I mean, if hell was real I could totally imagine one of our billionaires trying to open up a portal to it for cheap labor like it was Doom or something

Born to be an constantly evolving set of self evident ideas, forced to have an identity

“I just hyperfocused my way through another Star Wars EU novel over the weekend and I have a list of 37 reasons Like Skywalker is awesome I have to share with you guys!”

“Why don’t you go share your tongue with the pencil sharpener, nerd!”

[Whole class laughs at me].

[Sensitivity to justice engages and I spend the rest of the day fantasizing about murdering the kid who said that and trying to not be seen crying]

-basically how all of elementary school went for me

Idk, the fact that I grew up in a rural area and vocally didn’t give a shit about hunting or football probably didn’t do me any favors.

… and then I said “Actually my life is pretty full already and that stuff doesn’t actually need doing.”

I try to think of it like having a rambunctious friend who takes me on inconveniencing but entertaining adventures

I don’t think that’s inherent to the unpopular opinion format, a post could just as easily be a “I like this thing everybody else hates”. People can and frequently do use it just to troll, but that’s a problem with those people not the community.

e; Actually, this needs a clarification. This news story is about a jail facility in Alabama, whereas this documentary is about a prison facility. Generally speaking, prisons are where people are said after they are convicted of crimes, jails are where they are held before trial if they are unable to post bail. Both ultimately report to the same state department of corrections, but these are separate facilities.

“Sensitivity to justice? That is a problem that must be cured.” - what capitalism does to a mf-er

I mean, is she any less qualified than, like, Maureen Dowd, or Ezra Klein, or George Will, or any one of the dozen other lint-brained pundits that get paid thousands of dollars to write their idiotic drivel for billionaires in newspaper op-ed columns?

There’s zero chance that wouldn’t go exactly the same under the Biden administration. If/when this new government decides to start persecuting their LGBT community I would bet the Trump administration would cheer them on where a Biden administration would tell them to stop, but Israel gets a blank check to commit atrocities from both of them.
