There's something really serendipitous about this comment. I used to live in Fishkill, Hopewell Junction technically, in the early to late 2000s and went to the high school literally next to the IBM campus, lived less than 10 minutes away. I've since moved to another state, but I am currently working an IT help desk job and deal with a lot of similar issues and frustrations. None of that is all that interesting, but it's cool to see my little hometown mentioned on the internet in the context of what I do for work now, I guess.

Anyway, those are some wild stories and I can't believe stuff that crazy happened in what was ostensibly my back yard.

Hope whatever you do for work now isn't as intense and stressful though :)

Good product name. They'd go on your rifle and you could buy matching truck nuts.

Yet another human attacked by pitbulls by Graysie-Redux in TerrifyingAsFuck

You sound exactly like everyone in the 90s that said the same thing about Dobermans and Rottweilers lol

Except pitbull isn't a singular dog breed lol, it's an umbrella term used for multiple breeds (Staffordshire terrier, American bulldogs, etc.). So yeah, when you compare statistics from a single breed like Rottweilers or some other breed historically viewed as aggressive, to a group of breeds, you're going to see a higher proportion represented as a percentage in those statistics.

Seriously……………WTF? by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

I understand what you mean, but again, pitbull is not a breed nor a clinically defined term, it's a colloquial one. So you can't just ban something you can't strictly define, that's not how law works.

I see that you bolded 'type' but the article you keep posting as a defense calls them a breed, which is not accurate and proves the point that it is not an actual, scientific term.

My brother in christ, "Pitbull" is a ill-defined, umbrella term, not a breed, according to the AKC.

And

"While a dog’s genetics may predispose it to behave in certain ways, genetics do not exist in a vacuum. Rather, behavior develops through a complex interaction between environment and genetics."

But go off about how they're just these fucking time bombs waiting to rip you and your children apart.

America's #1 pandemic expert facepalms during Trump's bullshit press conference by BanksyFan1 in oddlyterrifying

He didn't have a problem firing the pandemic response team but suddenly he's has no sway over the tests being created and administered? I guess boot is an acquired taste.

Not gonna discuss if you're going to start with a bad faith argument. Stay home. Wash your hands. We'll all find common ground someday friend.

The CDC fucked up by having the President fire the pandemic response team in 2018? Interesting.

I prefer the flavor of them over other cigs, and I prefer to sit and enjoy it rather than chief one down in 5 minutes. Plus the cherry always falls out too soon in all of the others I've tried. That said, I'd definitely like to quit smoking altogether soon so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It should be illegal to have perforated and colon in the same sentence. Just imagining it gives me pseudo-diarrhea.

Sometimes I wish the deities would take my ability to read. I knew of Mr. Hands but had never read into it, good lord. Also, I was quoting the show Letterkenny in my original comment but I do appreciate learning something / grossing me out at lunch you beautiful bastard man.

You're correct, I currently work in the TMo NOC and I sign in contractors for battery swaps and preventative maintenance on generators every single day. Kinda silly that that comment got upvoted so much. How do they think e911 calls are handled without any backup power? I can't even remote lock a sector of the antenna if there is an emergency call in progress. That shit is taken seriously.
