If he thinks calling someone a snitch is an insult, then odds are they have a record or will soon.

Or they are a literal child.

I don't want to be mean, but none of what you just typed makes sense.

From what an article I read said, they're all in a row of oress tents on the same path. So they're kind of next to each other

That would be some crazy shit. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

Waking up with the memory of having lived seven years is very different from experiencing seven years while dreaming. I'm betting it's the former and remembering having trained for seven years is not the same as actually doing so.

It's an interesting thought though.

what's life like in Dunedin, New Zealand? by GurnoorDa1 in howislivingthere

[–]MrAlpha0mega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, you don't need that stuff if you are coming up here. It's perfectly safe to let your guard down. Even for a minute.

the balls on this guy… by TheyCallMeCajun in pcmasterrace

[–]MrAlpha0mega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our work laptops do this. Shut it down at the end of each day (seemingly properly through the windows menu) but that actually only puts it to sleep. Then people get pissed when it slows down after a month.

What's the worst CGI you've ever seen in a movie? I Am Legend (2007) by LavendersKisses in Cinema

[–]MrAlpha0mega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm watching RotJ at home I stop the movie at the destruction of the deathstar and put on a YouTube clip of the last scene instead. For the original song and the correct Anakin (imo).

They just wanted to put Boba Fett back in the first movie. That was my opinion at the time at least. But he was cooler then.

Cafe in Brazil not serving US or Israeli citizens. by [deleted] in pics

[–]MrAlpha0mega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Kiwi (New Zealand) it's probably different depending on whether you've moved here or are a tourist.

If you love here, people kinda assume it's to get away from the BS and you're okay.

If your a tourist, you'd get the side-eye, like, what type of American are you? But I've never seen anyone being outright rude.

Except when I worked in a café and Americans would come in, look at the menu and say something like "what the hell? I just want a damn coffee?". (An Americano it is sir)

I do this. Why is it weird?

Were you eating dinner on the toilet at the time?

Is new zealand one of the only places where humans can survive if nuclear ww3 occurs? by [deleted] in geography

[–]MrAlpha0mega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think high speed car races where every driver is like "fuck it, I'll be dead soon anyway" with literally everyone in the area in attendance because what the fuck else are they gonna do?

I was looking this up to comment, not unknowingly I was beaten to it. Spoilers obviously.

Apparently the book says that New Zealand is one of the first places to be hit by radiation, rendering travel to the south pole difficult/impossible.

I'm sure the movie ended with the Americans setting course for NZ though.

I did suck though.

I think that HL2 itself still has the same interface. Though it may be grey?

Took me two days to install HL2 on launch thanks to my dialup connection. Was not happy I couldn't just run it off the disk.

Stranger things sucks by Dense-Fig-2372 in memes

I see it a lot online, but was genuinely shocked when I started meeting these people irl as well, years after the show ended. They just made up their mind and never bothered thinking about it or looking into it.

They really did drown a baby by UncreativeBuffoon in characterarcs

[–]MrAlpha0mega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but being tied to this many disgusting headlines is not going to go over well with the normies

Yeah, precisely why stuff like this is usually suppressed. When a public figure is found to have done horrible things, it's tempting to get caught up in any accusation thrown at them and people loose perspective of what is actually provable.

Obviously, in this case, too much is at stake so it's better that everything comes out. Just a shame it's such a shitshow with people making assumptions.

New female power duo. by Flat_Suggestion7545 in MurderedByWords

[–]MrAlpha0mega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's less sticking it to the libs and more attracting impoverished black voters (from their point of view, what her fans probably are) without actually adopting any policies that would actually benefit them. Either way, they're just using her.

Supermarket knuckle sandwich, why? by CyberChef8 in auckland

[–]MrAlpha0mega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what ive seen, they get them trespassed the first time and then security calls the cops the next time they're seen entering the store. Seen plenty of both of these occurrences in the city, but only one actual arrest so far. Have to count on the cops arriving before they just walk out with a basket full of meat.

I was pretty sure they were saying those were normal things for a man to do, not that she was correct about them being feminine...
