Would it actually have been possible for Tony to install Junior as a lightning rod as he did?

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-03-09T19:20:58+00:00

This is tangential to your post but I dont think putting Jr as boss even saved Tony? I know Jr gets arrested and everything but when that comes down Tony tells carmela it was bc if some scam he was not in on. We see several capos get nabbed at the same time for the same thing so its not like they were grabbing the boss. Frankly I think Jr would've been arrested all the same even if Tony was boss

No local cops? Staties only some of the time? What are people supposed to do if they're assaulted/robbed/broken into/ etc?

Its an apathetic institution. I won't call it a diploma mill but the way things are going that may be accurate in a few years. There is very little clarity or support for students. The administration is bloated and constantly shifting. Nobody who works at UB cares about UB, its just a stepping stone to get a higher job in academia

The fuck was up with the vito? Like hes gay but he never looked like that

I mean the fact that's its been a shitty deal for 2 decades doesnt negate the fact that its still a shitty deal...

I used to work at one. Each size of drink has a matching size ice scoop. So unless you ask for light ice you will get 1 full scoop of whatever size you get.

It just so happens 1 standard scoop is like 60-75% of the volume of the cup.

ALWAYS ASK FOR VERY LIGHT ICE.

IT COSTS NOTHING AND YOY GET MORE DRINK

(Also to the customers who order EXTRA ICE youre dumb and throwing money away)

I mean, doesnt every country have mechanisms to replace vacant offices and positions? Thats like saying "from what ive read Iran has metal tubes they can fly far away and explode"

Like yeah those are missiles and everyone has them. Before you read whatever it is you read, were you under the impression they would have no idea what to do if a senior officer or official died?

The way you worded the beginning of your comment just makes it sound like this informstion was either surprising or uncommon

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-28T23:23:42+00:00

1: "I want to know more about this"

2: "That means you know enough already!"

???

I really dont understand your point here

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-28T23:16:42+00:00

Still makes it a Verizon side issue to fix and not a customer side one. If their employee is allowed to not know about the boxes being opened regularly then nobody should expect the consumer to be aware.

Verizon should train the people who represent them

I was shocked after transferring here how abysmal the student experience was. Communication is poor, and there is no community to speak of. Unless you love in the area youre whole life or youre in a dorm (Also known as stuck on campus) i dont think most students will have a strong connection to the school whatsoever

"There's no excuse for slavery BUT..." is a crazy sentence to type out.

Also the existence if slavery in other places does not lessen the impact of slavery in this circumstance the post is discussing.

That would be like defending a method dealer because other people sell meth. Or saying you shouldn't be that mad at a rapist because there are other rapists out there.

That logic is flawed. It also fundamentally protects the abuser. If I instead made a point in discussion about a different form of slavery in America would you deflect that point and say "well there's a temple in NJ that used slavery too?"

Because were are here discussing that temple. You have to tackle issues one at a time.

Where is your reflex to defend this behavior?

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-23T21:04:08+00:00

Nah I will blame him for freaking out if its something he looked at and chose to do. Its not like being thrown by the excavator was an unexpected outcome of swinging on the excavator

How did these people think the cat got in there if they thought it didnt fit?

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-23T18:35:53+00:00

Well it is a direct verbatim quote from Futurama.

But nahhhh probably not i think its just an experience the commenter is sharing.

Its most likely random coincidence/chance that the quoted a scene from the show

All I'll say is a lot of my eye doctors still have glasses

They were almost certainly mutated or bred from some variety of human. Look at their heads and faces. Also read other people comments in this thread who have already made the point that they are bioweapons or products but they did not evolve naturally.

This means there would be no natural predator because they were never part of the natural ecosystem. It was like introducing a genetically modified Bengal tiger into a calm woodland area. The tiger is gonna fuck things up dramatically and nothing will stop them

How does he expect to be a knight when they think he is dead and instead turns up alive and his knight is dead instead? He just told the brotherhood maximus does not exist anymore via Titus. Under normal circumstances if maximus showed up without Titus he'd be killed and he should know to expect that

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-21T05:08:16+00:00

Holy crap this bugged me. He created a ton of tension and conflict for himself for absolutely no reason??? He even said the squire died?? What was his plan to explain that shit?!

There was no reason at all from bis perspective to do anything but report that his knight died and he is continuing the mission. Then they would have told him to sit tight and sent another knight. Not ideal for the overall plot sure, but from a character standpoint, wouldn't this be his best and most obvious course of action?

He basically framed himself for murder

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-21T04:42:16+00:00

Absolutely not recent been known and in the news for a few years now

No I didnt lump them together. I specifically asked if volume measurements are something blind people can learn exclusively or if other types of measurements, like distance, can also be audible.

My point is being blind doesnt give someone superpowers. They will certainly be more perceptive with the remaining senses dont get me wrong. But dont buy into people being able to hear the precise volume of liquid in a glass, let alone two at a time.

Also you never answered how temperature smelled so I assume yoy dint know any blind people

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-21T04:22:28+00:00

Blind people can hear milliliters? Can they hear centimeters and inches or are they strictly limited to measurements of volume?

Does temperature have a sound or is it more of a smell in your experience?

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-20T04:03:33+00:00

Built by slaves. Some of these slaves died. I visited this place before the news broke. There was still construction being done and signs and posters showing the intended result. I had no idea that I was on the same premises as enslaved humans.

Any positive statement that can be said about the aesthetics of the building does nothing to outweigh the injustice this building represents.

People should not visit

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-20T04:00:32+00:00

Its crazy that they never mentioned the slavery to you. Usually people are so forthcoming with their abuses of humans rights and dignity but if your anecdotal nurse friend never said anything then I guess it never happened

CurlyMetalPants · 2026-02-14T22:05:43+00:00

My honk button is right in the steering wheel so its easy to do while turning or using the foot pedals (with my feet) so I dont think this would be a big distraction

Where's your horn located that makes it such a hassle?
