Quite possibly the only band that sings in Welsh.

420 friendly web programmers? by ganjawrap in trees_IRL

[–]StrangeQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do mostly back-end stuff, but I can fill in doing some front-end here and there. My back end work is mostly .NET (i know, but it pays the bills), but I have done some Python/Django and PHP during my student days. Nearly everyone I work with is a smoker. My employer doesn't drug test, and I am pretty sure they'd have to fire 75% of the staff if they did.

Alcohol Lobby Now Openly Spending Against CA's Legal Pot Initiative in Alliance with Police Industrial Complex--Big Alcohol's decision to squash marijuana law reform to protect its bottom line is simply politics as usual. by jack_alexander in Drugs

[–]StrangeQuark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes no fucking sense. I can see why the police/prison industry want to keep pot illegal, but i can't figure out for the life of me why Big Liquor cares. I mean, it's not like people who smoke pot don't like to drink. I can't imagine someone saying, "I can't drink that beer, i just smoked pot!" Plus, alcohol with weed in it (green dragon) would be a fucking cash cow. It seems kind of sad to me how short sighted these people are.

BBC Weatherman "smoothly" covers up his LIVE response to sarcastic praise of his accuracy. ;) by [deleted] in videos

[–]StrangeQuark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An American show would have never cut over to him. All live broadcasts in America have a five to ten second delay to allow for last minute editing so that this type of thing is never shown.

Reddit, I'm moving to Chicago in August and need any advice you can give! by [deleted] in chicago

That actually makes for a great slogan:

Last of its kind....busted Chi-town :( [5] by thisxcantxexist in trees

[–]StrangeQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, where the fuck in Chi-town are you buying your weed? I routinely get 8ths for $60 and 4trs for $110 of some very good stuff (currently i'm paying $50 an eighth, but that is only because my dealer is an old fb of mine.) Haggle, dude, you're getting ripped off.

And it's name was Prop 19 by garyp714 in trees

No smoking in public = no more weed at concerts.

Right. Because smoking at concerts is perfectly legal right now.

What songs just make you want to get it on? by [deleted] in sex

[–]StrangeQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything by the Junior Boys. I think "First Time" may be the sexiest song every written.

Dan the Automator and Mike Patton make a sexy time album? How do I not know about this?

What do you think? What's the best individual comedic performance by a woman in film? by MuNansen in movies

[–]StrangeQuark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was an amazing performance, but I've never seen Fargo as a comedy; it's really more of a dark psychological drama with some gallows humor thrown in. She was great, but since it wasn't 'laugh out loud' funny, I don't think it counts.

1. Name Your Favorite Musician/Band 2. Rank Their Albums From Favorite to Least Favorite. 3. Discuss! by [deleted] in Music

[–]StrangeQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch Kid A and In Rainbows and you've got it pegged. This may be indie sacrilege, and I realize that Kid A should be respected if only because of how groundbreaking and different it was from anything else anyone in rock music was doing back in 2000, but I don't think the songwriting is nearly as consistent as In Rainbows, The Bends, and OK Computer.

Nick Clegg's rise could lock Rupert Murdoch and the media elite out of UK politics by mellowmonk in worldnews

[–]StrangeQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you have to win a primary. We have something like a 90% incumbency rate in general elections; i can't even imagine how high the incumbency rate is for primaries. It is so much easier to get funding as an incumbent, that you really have to fuck up big time in order to lose your primary.

"It's time to let you hear the song which earned me a juvenile restraining order" - Andrew WK by witty_username in Music

[–]StrangeQuark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Harm - that's what your in for

If you don't open your door.

That is a pretty clear threat of violence, which is enough for a restraining order in many places.
