I can't tell if that displays a ridiculous cartoonish level of incompetence, or just a ridiculous cartoonish level of just villainy. Either way, it's ridiculous cartoonishness that has no place being applied in the actual world.A_Northern_Soul wrote:Today's target: School children.

For. Fuck's. Sake.
From just scanning the beginning of the article, I could see how that's a means of dealing with illegal immigration that does insanely more damage than it does help, so how could people whose job it is to run a country not see that?

Not digging the fact this thread is catching up with the happy rant one. Is peoples happiness/anger cyclical?

What's the deal with people sharing weird amateur gross-out-porn video clips on Facebook? Do I just have a few really weird Facebook friends (the people who tend to share them are people from my school days who it's safe to say are kinda dickish).
It's really weird scrolling down and seeing some thumbnail with a description saying something along the lines of "LOL I CORN BELIVE SUMMON WOOD FILM THEMSELF SHITING IN THOR MARTH OMG".

If you click on one of those, the same thing will be posted from your timeline, as if you had posted it.Treefingers wrote:What's the deal with people sharing weird amateur gross-out-porn video clips on Facebook?

Just saw them throw away 5 shopping carts of completely pristine produce at work. There's a way they coukd have donated it to the foodbank but it would have taken 10 minutes at most to enter it into the computer and they were like "we don't have time, this makes less work for us". Disgustingly wasteful.
Mhmm, I also hate how raiding supermarket bins is considered theft - I don't do it myself but what the hell are they gonna do with it once its collected? Certainly nothing, it wont go to good use. I hate the business world.rainier wrote:Just saw them throw away 5 shopping carts of completely pristine produce at work.

This sort of thing makes me impossibly angry. Chinese 'medicine' can go to fucking hell.

i had just bought a new car several weeks ago and had it sitting in my driveway. i had mounted the back plates at the dealership when i bought it, but didn't have the right size screwdriver at the time, so the front plate just was sitting on my dashboard, visible. i got a parking ticket that first night for not having a front plate (even though it was clearly visible, and the car was in my fucking driveway). it was only $30, but i wanted to go in and contest it, because that's bullshit, but the place was only open from "the hours i'm at fucking work". so, i put it on my desk at work and accidentally forget about it.
dug it out today by accident, and called it in to see the status. it's too late to contest, and now they want $150. fucking extortion these fucking pigs.

^ I hear your pain. Left our new car out on the street (on a single yellow line - restrictions came into place at 8am), I go out the next morning at 7.45 to move it and I have a ticket with the time marked as 8.15 Cheeky bastards!
I was sharp enough to take a photo of the ticket though, so I'm ready with my EXIF data when the council come for me...

I feel your pain; it's like, people get by fine in many places where front license plates are not required.zeitgeist wrote:i had just bought a new car several weeks ago and had it sitting in my driveway. i had mounted the back plates at the dealership when i bought it, but didn't have the right size screwdriver at the time, so the front plate just was sitting on my dashboard, visible. i got a parking ticket that first night for not having a front plate (even though it was clearly visible, and the car was in my fucking driveway). it was only $30, but i wanted to go in and contest it, because that's bullshit, but the place was only open from "the hours i'm at fucking work". so, i put it on my desk at work and accidentally forget about it.

Speaking of which, I got a ticket for parking on the street overnight near my parents' house when I was visiting them, despite the fact that there was no room in the driveway and there were no signs posted anywhere. Then when I went in to contest it, the prosecutor said he'd meet me "halfway" by dismissing the charge but keeping the fine. I was like "that's not really meeting me halfway..." and he responded with "you giving me an attitude? We can go up to $300..."
What a bunch of fucking pricks. I was like "You've got a lot of attitude for a prosecutor working traffic offenses."

jesus, that's proof right there that it's not (and never had been) about the safety or organization of parking or driving correctly. it's all about the Benjamins.Zazen wrote:I feel your pain; it's like, people get by fine in many places where front license plates are not required.zeitgeist wrote:i had just bought a new car several weeks ago and had it sitting in my driveway. i had mounted the back plates at the dealership when i bought it, but didn't have the right size screwdriver at the time, so the front plate just was sitting on my dashboard, visible. i got a parking ticket that first night for not having a front plate (even though it was clearly visible, and the car was in my fucking driveway). it was only $30, but i wanted to go in and contest it, because that's bullshit, but the place was only open from "the hours i'm at fucking work". so, i put it on my desk at work and accidentally forget about it.
