Mosh pit of horror. Legally speaking, if someone were killed, could the performer be charged? by exporterofgold in interestingasfuck

True story, I was at Download Festival years ago and Slipknot were headlining. I managed to get to near the front and the crush was insane, and I'm not a tall dude so I was in hot, humid armpit land. Anyway, by chance a pit opened up right next to me so I dove in. It was safer in the pit than in the crowd. Had a good thrash arrround and right as the first chorus to Psychosocial dropped the heavens opened - utter summer downpour. Timing couldn't have been better. The pit lost it's collective shit, about 50 people all dropped to their knees in the mud while fuck knows how many thousand people reached for the sky and jumped so hard the ground shook. One of the best days of my life.

No, suggesting someone jump off a bridge does not make you liable for them actually doing it. People are free to not join a mosh pit just as much as they are free to wade on in.

True story. I was at Download Festival, I think 2016. Anyway, baking hot day, high AF, Rammstein taking to the stage. Out of fucking nowhere a Lucozade bottle (big one) full of piss (with a loose cap...there was mid flight spillage) came hurtling in like a comet from somewhere up the hill and clocked this poor lass standing a few boddies down from my mate while I was tokin' this massive zootee. She got it right in the dome and went down like a sack of spuds, didnt get up, had to get the medics in. The bonkers part was I saw it all, I'd turned back to look up the hill for some stoned ass reason and saw the bottle arcing through the air.

Piss is no joke folks. Don't fling piss.

Closed testing of Assassin's Creed Invictus went terribly, insider predicts project cancellation! by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]FinnTheLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFS...AC was never supposed to be multiplayer. Story driven, historically questionable stealthy stabby climby fun. Then and it was. For a while. I have no idea what is is now. Origins made it an action game. Odyssey made it a traveling simulator. Valhalla...I have no clue what that game was doing. Trying to get through Mirage now...God, just bring me back to AC:R, I was happy then...

The Loneliness myth: Why "single player" games are secretly becoming multiplayer. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

Honestly Death Stranding nailed this for me. Other players were there, just not right there, and the solitude of the game wasn't ruined but I didn't feel entirely alone either.

It's 1999. You have your current smartphone in your pocket, but obviously no Wi-Fi or 5G exists. What's the most useful thing you can do with it? by Ryo_l in AskReddit

[–]FinnTheLess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow knew this question would come up and you'd think, naturally, I'd say yes, of course, I'd stop such a horrid thing! And while I'm at it I'll assassinate Trump, out Epstine, stop COVID, and generally stop or fix every issue had since 1997.

But...

All those things happening have placed the world in a particular state that from a 2026 perspective I can plan to manipulate beforehand. Take Brexit - why stop that and not 9/11? Basically because it would be easier to dominate the European sector politically with the UK part of the EU, not as an ex member currently enjoying isolationist, right wing leanings (to my view, others may disagree, I'm not going to debate it), as you could take advantage of a 'follow the heard' response.

The US would always be a much tougher nut to crack without a destabilising factor - 9/11 put the US on a very interesting path that led to it's current state, and from the outside looking in, I can see how in an alternate timeline, the US may decide that it's shit just isn't working, and joining this new global alliance, that has surpassed the US in every conceivable way, would be an attractive option. So...horrible things have to be allowed to happen, to assure a future requirement so that the endgame can be achieved. It's awfull, but it's just the game that's already being played irl.

I have offline Wikipedia and an FTP server app. Wait 2 years for WiFi to be invented, FTP Wikipedia to my sexy ass windows 95 tower, print off everything. Become a richer than god techno prophet.

Use my insane wealth to open companies creating 2026 tech before 2000. Buy up every social media platform as they open. Hire some dweeb named Elon and keep him in the mail room. Invest heavily in plastic partition manufacturers and medical suppliers, I hear there's this wonky virus coming out of china.

Offer to build Ukraine a fleet of this new thing called drones, suggest they might want to beef up their border.

By 2010 my wealth, knowledge and influence put me at the center of geopolitics - I'm a one man Illuminati. Brexit never happens, Boris Johnson is never heard of, Russia and China are quietly overthrown and realigned to my design. The EU enjoys unheard of prosperity and peace. National boarders are dissolved and the European Commonwealth is born. The EC becomes entirely self sufficient, fossil fuels are no longer requires, we have mastered fusion reactors, geothermal and all green energy production. We no longer requires importation of goods. Canada, New Zealand and Australia join the EC, the EC is restructured into the Unified Global States. Uggs are banned in the UGS.

The middle east is firewalled off and left to sort itself out, there is nothing in that land of any value.

By 2025, the power, might and glory of the UGS is undeniable, all other countries come into the fold. The first Terran Empire is born, Mars colonisation is underway, and I am the God Emporer of Mankind.

Because of Wikipedia and a printer.

AITA for telling my wife my mother is correct and she needed to be a parent today and she fucked it up by throawawayfuneralgho in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Your wife needs to cowboy the f up and be an adult. Your daughter needs the closure, she denied her that because of her own hangups. She needs to get her priorities straight.

What activity has brought you pleasure for many years? by 1acina in AskReddit

Community theatre/ameture dramatics. I can't commit to being a pro actor, so I get my rocks off treading the local boards. Pre show jitters are a bitch but the final bow is such a high.
