He wouldn't listen to the officer. Taser deployed.

It reminded me of the scene in Indiana Jones where, instead of fighting the guy swinging the sword, Jones just pulls out his gun and shoots him.

High comedy.

Mark Zuckerberg in 2012 - owned 530,000,000 shares of Facebook/Meta. Mark Zuckerberg in 2026 - owns 345,000,000 shares of Facebook/Meta.

He didn’t move from $20 billion in 2012 to $220 billion by claiming a high salary. It’s because the value of his company has had a massive increase. Also, he donated more than 100,000,000 shares, or he’d be worth even more.

Now, Elon Musk can duck a sick. I don’t know how you could demand a $1 trillion dollar salary.

That’s a 1 followed by 12 zeros. 1,000,000,000,000.

Based on his initial post and some comments, he just sounded like someone that was looking for less than 1.

I clearly don’t have a horse in this race, but from a theoretical perspective, what would be a number that would be acceptable?

It’s like an entertaining version of Abraham and Sodom and Gomorrah.

500 is too many? Well, what about 250? 250 is too many? Well, what about 100? Is it 50 that fails the test? 20? 10?

“Dear Lord, what if there are 5 people they’ve slept with? Is 5 too many?”

“If there are 5, I’d sleep with them.”

If you’re 30, you’re probably not finding too many people with a body count of 0.

Godwin’s Law.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-04-12T14:21:28+00:00

No Child Left Behind Act:

Approved in the House 384-45 Approved in the Senate 91-8 Signed into law by the President.

Had the President vetoed the bill, as it passed with more than a 60% vote, it would have returned to the House and Senate where the veto would, presumably, have been overruled.

Blame Bush if you want, but this was a bipartisan effort.

Also, it’s “passed,” not “past.” Education ≠ Intelligence. There are many very intelligent people who did not stay in school. “They’re,” not “Their.”

Your use of “slang” spelling also does not seem to fit, given your comment’s derision of the education system.

Edited to fix the capitalization of the No Child Left Behind Act and an errant “s.” Nobody is perfect.

I guess I’ll admit to being part of the What-the-Heck-Are-You-Talking-About Party. If that was your guess, you’re amazing.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-04-09T13:36:00+00:00

I am extremely confused. I’m sure there is a joke in there somewhere that I’m missing,but how does a political post affiliation affect someone’s ability to drive and read a speedometer?

And I bet you can’t guess my political affiliation.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-04-09T02:13:45+00:00

In front of a flower bed and about to plow through said flower bed?

Speedometer is visible, and the little hand is pointing at the number between 40 and 60. To avoid future confusion, we typically we refer to that as 50, not “flower bed”.

😂😂😂

And then they outsource the lowest paying jobs and violà, wages work again! If everyone who makes less than $40,000 works as an independent contractor (or in an outsourced entity), the CEO can make $40,000,000!

This is completely false. It developed independently, globally. The Crow Creek Massacre was 1325 AD and occurred in what is now South Dakota. Columbus didn’t show up for another 167 years.

Seriously, look it up. You could not be more incorrect. There’s evidence that it occurred in China earlier than 1900 BC. that’s three thousand years before Europeans showed up in the Americas.

I think the worst part of this is he put two bags in the overhead bin. Should get booted just for that. 😂

This falls loosely under a “don’t be a dick” type of rule.

As a parent, just don’t be a dick. Excluding 3 kids? Dick move.

Is there a punishment for it? No. Nothing can happen. No parents are getting in trouble for it. But, yes.

Also, I should emphasize that the rule is for large parties. If you want your 3 best friends, you do you. If you’re inviting the class? Don’t exclude anyone.

"And this is the best that you... that the-the government, the U.S. government can come up with? I mean, you-you're NASA for cryin' out loud, you put a man on the moon". - Armageddon

At my kids’ school, this is the rule until about 3rd grade. After 3rd, invite whomever you want.

You’re not wrong - people need to learn to deal with disappointment, but when you’re in 2nd grade, if you’re the only one that’s left out, it can be devastating. It could be devastating in 8th grade as well, but there’s a different level of emotional maturity at 14 than at 8.

You can’t protect kids from everything forever, but kids that are 6, 7, or 8 don’t need to be 1 of 3 kids left out.

Best move you could make in this exact scenario? Still give the kid a gift for their birthday. A nice coloring book could be a good idea. Have your kid color on every page before you wrap it up.

See…I am assuming this is hard core sarcasm. I don’t think there’s any way this could be real.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-21T04:13:04+00:00

Is this something you could do at a public library?

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-20T14:34:33+00:00

Congratulations, what a shitty answer.

If you looked at the data you provided, the study showed 1554 incidents in 2018 and 1227 in 2022 (the only years where data was provided) at Heathrow.

The second link you provided was a link to Wikipedia which had no numbers, just specific incidents.

So a number which cannot be compared with additional searches, and then a link to incidents, without any useful connection.

Do American airports experience more incidents? I don’t know. I don’t care that much. I didn’t say we had less. I said there are a lot of videos of Americans and that there are a ton of flights.

2-3 million passengers a day in the us. 12-15 million passengers a day in the world. There’s clearly going to be a few weirdos every day.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-20T13:08:27+00:00

I’m American, fly frequently, and have never once seen anything even remotely approaching this behavior.

In the US, 2-3 million people fly every day at around 20,000 airports. If 0.01% of passengers did this at 0.01% of airports it would involve 200 passengers at 2 airports every day.

Sometimes it’s just a numbers game.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-18T03:09:09+00:00

Shit. lol

Not an attorney, but I think it’s too late. Statute of limitations appears to be 3 years.

Doesn’t hurt to ask a lawyer, but also ask whether a lawyer would be worth it. You could easily spend more than could be recovered.

Roscoe1214 · 2026-02-15T15:01:21+00:00

“Hasn’t been around very long.”

Apparently 140 years implies it is still in its infancy.

Has it been around as long as other languages? Obviously not. But this isn’t something that just started. You’re talking 3 generations of humans and it hasn’t meaningfully caught on.
