71·1 day agoAnd yet no one’s tried to collect the bounty yet as far as we know. And clearly not because of the skill and diligence of the United States Secret Service.
There’s a store like that here and they were totally insular. I asked if there were any games I could join in and they looked at me like I was some sort of stupid neophyte who wouldn’t know D&D from Call of Cthulhu. Fuck that.
The Iranian Ed McMahon comes to the assassin’s door…
I agree, but also, where do you go to meet people anymore? People used to get into conversations in places like coffee shops and bars. Now everyone’s looking at their phones, possibly even with earbuds in. If you’re religious, I guess church. Plenty of people aren’t religious though.
14·1 day agoI’ll just keep using my local public library.
Most of them lend eBooks these days so I know I won’t get to keep them regardless, but I also don’t have to pay for them.
And then Iran would be a pile of rubble.
Why would they have to? The second the assassin revealed themselves to collect, they would be the most hunted person on the planet.
That and who thinks Iran would even be able to pay up?
Milo Rossi, a.k.a. Miniminuteman. That’s a weird coincidence because he brought this video up in his latest video, which came out yesterday. He’s a lot of fun if you like someone who debunks pseudoscience in the archaeology realm.
I also hear Dr. Dre doesn’t even have a medical degree!
You watched Milo today too, didn’t you? Great video, I was laughing and laughing.
I feel the same way a lot of times. It takes effort to be social and it’s easier to just stay at home and not do anything. It’s especially easy for me because I have no friends in this town and my closest friends live an hour away. Being lonely seems like it’s easier than having friends even if it feels worse. It’s a problem to be sure.
Loneliness is also a massive factor.
Yeah, but they also break really easily, and then you have the fun of either trying to get the string fixed or back on the track or whatever or just replacing the whole thing.
Is it that they’re “too difficult to use” or is it just that they’re a pain in the ass? Because it’s the latter in my experience.
4·2 days agoIt’s the same teenager that stores a gun in their pillow and bullets behind the framed photo that typical teens keep in their rooms.
True. On the other hand, absolutely no parent would be able to find drugs or guns in their kids’ room by taking his advice.
A bag of weed inside baby doll clothes? Come the fuck on.
I’m not a Harry Potter fan, but he recently did an audiobook reading of Conan Doyle’s entire Holmes oeuvre, and I love Conan Doyle (not just his Holmes stories), so that should be fun whenever I get to it.
He was also the narrator for an animated show called Pocoyo which my daughter loved when she was young and is very charming.
On top of that, he was the star of Peter’s Friends, which is one of my all-time favorite movies.
Honestly, the only real criticism I can make of him is that he has been in some truly awful TV shows and movies. But a man’s got to eat…
Stephen Fry literally saved my life by prompting me to get the proper diagnosis with what was going on with me psychologically:

I believe it’s on YouTube these days, but I just happened to see his name (I already knew who he was) and download a torrent. My whole life suddenly made sense to me. I was in tears, but it got me to a psychiatrist and got me onto proper medication. I’m glad what I went through is not as severe as what he’s been through, but it definitely could have been the end of me one day…
I used to write things in Ogham when I was in high school when I didn’t want my teachers to know what I was writing.
My friends and I also wrote notes to each other in Tolkien runes.
We might have been nerdy, but we never had to read our notes aloud in class.
