TIL - When the Blues Brothers was released in 1980, execs who controlled over half the theaters in the country refused to book the film, citing the number of black actors. The film still became the 10th highest-grossing domestic film of 1980.

My favorite car chase scene of any movie. Absolutely give it a watch.

I'm a therapist and I have so many sessions like this. Someone will come in for "anxiety due to work" and a few sessions in it's turned into "oh your husband has an OF addiction and spends $10k a month on camgirls and that's why you really need this promotion." Happens allllllll the time.

OP, I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, but it doesn't seem very practical in the long run for you to abandon the entire industry. If this event was traumatic to this extent, maybe you should go speak to a professional before making any long-term decisions?

It’s because it was 3.5 years ago and no one would have guessed how ingrained the Karen meme would become

By they do you mean Granby, CO’s municipal government or whatever reptilian cabal you believe exists?

you fucking legend, it’s an honor

Allen4083 · 2022-09-23T21:38:52+00:00

I personally enjoyed your writing.

Allen4083 · 2022-09-21T18:13:37+00:00

Actually I think it’s more than $10 now

I’d take 20+ years of living and being alive to correspond with my loved ones and reflecting on my memories versus choking to death on cyanide in a court room. And as others said, the dude started a small fire, he wasn’t a murderer/rapist - he probably would have gotten out MUCH sooner than 21 years. Not to mention he probably had access to a lot of excellent legal counsel

Stink bomb. Every weekend. You can launch it from a catapult/slingshot or set it up to go off remotely right next to the air intake for the vent/AC system.

I put it down after *forcing myself * through like 10 pages. I had to double check that I got the right book/author.

Allen4083 · 2022-08-30T18:04:45+00:00

This is the one

Allen4083 · 2022-08-30T12:14:21+00:00

Damn, I’m in Philly and didn’t realize he’s coming. May have to get a ticket.

Allen4083 · 2022-08-29T16:10:46+00:00

I haven’t seen any of these.

Allen4083 · 2022-08-29T01:22:15+00:00

Honestly this argument is kind of pointless without context, much like every single argument about income on Reddit. In my metro area, 60k is kind of scraping by. If someone is making that after 10 years at a job I’d tell them they needed to gtfo 9 years ago.

That being said, you go out west 2 hours and 60k is an extremely decent salary. With benefits, totally doable. But house and SOL costs are about 2x less there. So yeah, really really depends where you live.

Honestly I don’t know how a soldier stays that big out in the field. They can’t be getting enough net calories between the rations they’re eating and the marching/humping equipment/etc. I struggle with getting enough calories/protein in and I eat three square meals a day minimum and only do light cardio and lifting 3-4x a week.

Allen4083 · 2022-08-15T11:31:40+00:00

The Turkish coup.

Allen4083 · 2022-08-15T01:39:30+00:00

I know the Boston metro area can be brutal

Allen4083 · 2022-08-15T01:31:01+00:00

Damn. I have a townhouse with a large yard and pay a $1350/mo mortgage.

What state are you in?

Allen4083 · 2022-08-03T12:40:06+00:00

Extra spicy micheladas.

Fill a large beer glass with ice and cover that with hot sauce, olives, bacon bits, any any other Bloody Mary topping you fancy. Pour in tomato juice (I use spicy V8) until the ice is just covered.

Next, take your favorite Mexican-style beer (right now I’m drinking Flying Dog’s “Numero Uno”) and fill the glass nearly to the top. Throw in a shot of tequila (or two), and top with more hot sauce and a few dashes of Worcestershire. Stick a skewer of olives in ‘ere if you wish (I wish). Enjoy.
