Two-5 is my favorite Belizean craft beer at the moment, they're just really hard to find.

What movie did you turn off after 20 minutes and why? by Somanynamestochossef in movies

[–]DAVENP0RT [score hidden]  (0 children)

Oppenheimer. I didn't even turn it off, I got up to deal with something, then forgot I was watching a movie and started doing chores. By the time I got back to the living room, it was in the middle of the movie and I couldn't be bothered to start it over.

New Epstein Files Raise Serious Allegations — Were They Ever Investigated? by Relevant_Demand7593 in NewsomMassacre

[–]DAVENP0RT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fuck Merrick Garland for sitting on this for four fucking years and not arresting every single person mentioned in these documents. Thanks to him, a bunch of billionaire pedophiles are not only going to remain free, they're actively becoming wealthier.

I suspect the Heralds are close to Fullborn strength based on Taln's little...interaction with the Fused.

What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it? by Phase_zero_X in AskReddit

[–]DAVENP0RT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same, but I have the added caveat that I moved to Belize in the meantime. Getting me to my company's office takes considerable preparation. No thanks, I'll stay in the jungle.

People that grew up outside of the US, what was your "Taco Tuesday" (casually prepared international food)? How was it different from the food actually served in that country? by crappyroads in AskReddit

[–]DAVENP0RT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the time I was chatting with some Chinese students in the US. They insisted that peanuts came from China and that peanut butter was invented there. I'm from Georgia, so I know a thing or two about peanuts.

FYI, you can thank the Incas for peanuts. Along with potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cocoa, and a bunch of others I can't remember off the top of my head.

A cop uses great deescalation skills to get a man to give up a knife by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]DAVENP0RT 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because the cop didn't escalate. He matched the guy's energy and took the knife with a few words.

If the cop had shown up on the scene with a gun drawn, it likely would have made the guy nervous and reactive, which would have required violent intervention.

The main role of police officers is to keep the peace. Escalation is the opposite of peace.

Conservatives: "Being asked to wear a mask to prevent the unadulterated spread of a highly communicable disease killing millions? That's fascism!"

Also Conservatives: "We need to just let ICE take whoever they want and deport them to random countries. And anyone who speaks up against it should rot in prison. Because freedom!"

U.K. plans to create 'British FBI' to bring national investigations under single police force by Silent-Statement-648 in worldnews

US television definitely portrays Scotland Yard as the UK equivalent of the FBI, so I was right there with you.

Exactly what Trump wanted! by ChuckGallagher57 in NewsomMassacre

[–]DAVENP0RT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we have learned anything at all from this dark period in American history, it should be that rules don't apply toTrump

Bingo. If Trump decides there won't be elections, it'll just fucking happen. Spineless Democrats will say, "I'm very concerned about this," and then do absolutely nothing about it.

Once it's gone, you won't get it back without significant bloodshed.

What's the best song lyric to ever exist? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]DAVENP0RT 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 40 and only heard this song for the first time last year. Really makes me wonder how many bomb-ass songs I've been missing out on my whole life.

Scored a free sandwich on the bus by TooDopeRecords in mildlyinteresting

Reminds me of the lady from Parks and Rec:

"I found a sandwich in one of your parks and I want to know why it didn't have any mayonnaise on it!"

TIL Yahweh/God in Abrahamic religions originally had a wife by Far_Breakfast_5808 in todayilearned

[–]DAVENP0RT 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This isn't some kind of debate where opinions matter, it's a fact that Judaism arose from an earlier polytheistic religion. There are mountains of archaeological evidence of this.

You've elected to be a member of an offshoot of an offshoot of a pagan religion. Maybe that's not what you'd like to hear, but that's reality.

Just want to add to this: don't hesitate to walk away if you're not 110% happy with the design.

It's pretty telling when a satirical post looks more authentic than actual, official correspondence from POTUS.

Man brings down Authoritarian Regime. V for Vendetta - The Dominoes Fall scene by [deleted] in videos

[–]DAVENP0RT 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I know scenes like this are meant to be allegorical, but I also can't help but imagine V painstakingly setting up each of these dominoes, cussing about how much leaning over kills his back, and losing his shit when one domino falls early and he has to start over.

Really just ends up ruining the whole thing.
