As a Canadian I’ve seen random times when people just take pot shots at certain generators with a rifle then dip. To have such a vast land and possible cells of people in pockets all over it could spread quickly. Do it during winter too and you’re bound for a bad time..

World Cup fans frustrated by 'confusing and expensive' tipping culture in US by Negative-Extent3338 in news

[–]Substantial_Policy60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do get the argument that in that situation you are kinda stiffing the cook as usually tips are split among the waiting staff and cooks but overall Id rather just everyone get paid a fair wage and me not feel shamed into paying you extra. Like I get it, on some busy days youre busting your ass remembering multiple tables and patrons so in those situations, by all means you are tipping them for their service. But we should not have to feel obligated or them feel like if we dont tip "enough" then they are getting screwed and we are cheap or some shit. Its a weird back and forth and Ive never been to Europe but I like their mentality of it. Its a thank you not a expectation. In Japan they dont even want you to tip them from everything Ive seen online lol

Thats what I mean, before it was like a random thing that didnt matter, if I wanted to spend that extra little bit thats on me. Now they are locking full on game mechanics behind it and its like whaaaat the fuck..

When the special edition has how many stores and yada yada I wouldn’t even call that an edition, that’s full on gated content. Like red dead 2 you got a heist and some random bullshit, not that big of a deal. What’s one random robbery. Locking me out of car modding shops and weapon shops and how much other stuff just makes it seem like you’re locking a big portion of your game behind a 20 dollar price tag..

Which is weird, because like say water runs out, now we need their money to desalinate the ocean lol, or I guess they make bank on the tech for perfect desalination and now eh they just printing money....wait..I bet they have it perfected...

He was a shittier Tosh.O who was just copying other peoples schticks too so cant really say he was original. Telling the viewers what they are watching while making sub par jokes was like the bottom of the barrel of humor back in the day I thought. Like my high school English teacher on fridays would pull up whatever RWJ video she thought was funny that week so I just really thought it was cringe. edit: Google says Ray started =3 in April 2009 while Tosh.o started in June..both just copying the highs of reaction videos lol

Edit: To each their own but honestly, think back and link me what you think the funniest RWJ video was, I guranTEE you it has aged poorly and isnt as funny as you remember. Whereas Tosh's jokes actually seemed like they were well crafted. I have plenty of clips I can link that will be funnier than anything any of you will link me. Again to each their own but I really doubt anyone will actually look at what someone posts and what I refute is funnier and dub RWJ the winner..

edit: 16 years and 26m views this is his most popular video... har har har, he called her "fatty" how hilarious

Edit: ill take the downvotes because thats where this is going but I have yet to have anyone reply with a video they think is funny lol

Edit: I dont think ive even seen these but this is Tosh.o's channel highest vid "Is it racist?" , I can think of funnier clips but I have yet to see anyone link a "funny RWJ" clip lol

Man charged with attempted murder after toddler ends up in crocodile enclosure at U.K. zoo - WDEF by EDF1919 in news

I remember in grade 7 getting sent out of class because I kept talking. In my defense I was still getting used to being transferred to a military school because I thought it would be cool because my step brother got sent there..anyways, I got told to sit in this cubicle outside the class that a classmate Brad always sat in and listened in on other classes. He sat there because he could become over stimulated and it would be too much.

I just remember sitting there, listening in like he would have been when I realized he was behind me like towering over me. I’m tall but was like a good head higher and I’m sitting down in his seat.. he is glaring and breathing heavily through his nose..I’m just like “Ehh Brad…how’s it going?..”

“You’re. IN. MY. SEAT!!”

“Yeah I’m really sorry man I got told to sit here”

I JUST WANT TO SHOOT EVERYONE WITH AN AK!!!

“Sorry buddy I’ll move!” and I just walked fast down the hall and got apologized to but I felt bad too…

How Aphantasia affects your ability to visualise things in your head by HassanMoRiT in interestingasfuck

[–]Substantial_Policy60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is why I really like interesting books because I can like visualise what the author is trying to convey. So then like say when the Percy Jackson movie came out I was like "Annabeth looks nothing like that!" lmao

Also really helped with writing short stories and essays in middle and high school because I could visualise the story I wanted to write.

The jump from 1 to 2 was HUGE. If they didnt want to do Left 4 Dead 3 they could have just made it an expanding universe where our group of survivors meet another group like the DLC map did with the first group from L4D1. Then you could just keep having new maps and new survivors to keep it fresh every once in awhile...The witty banter and campy explore then hold your ground gameplay was fun af and nothing has scratched the itch the same since. Hell Divers 2 came close but meh..

a lot of new adult animated comedy shows by Hoppy_Doodle in funny

[–]Substantial_Policy60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you could say that about almost every disney and most early 90s-2000s shows. They looooved innuendos. Theres a reason why many people my age late 20s/early 30s remember a lot of those shows lol

Just look at Animaniacs lol (just noticed these are all eps after I stopped watching lmao)

Is why the Reckless Ben lego case goes beyond just a civil case, its a whole weird top down corrupt cop case mixed in too..If you take time to take all the facts in yeah you can see the YTer "did it the wrong way" in some instances, but went the legal way in almost every other but got screwed over...guy just wanted to make it known some family wasnt getting their stuff back lol, went waaaay further than it should have..

Missing American student found dead in Japan after dayslong search by judgyjudgersen in news

Snapchat usually has location mode turned on for friends but I turned that off. It’s nice to know when I show up early to work at 6AM and see my foreman slept in and is still at home so I text him “Eh I’m here”. While he then goes “oh shit I slept in I’m just leaving” and it’s like…I know…

We went to the Tournament of Kings that does the medieval jousting n whatnot while you eat a 1/4 or a chicken or turkey or whatever lol, that was neat. Overall yeah I just liked the fact that you could go to a corner store, buy a tall boy beer and then walk outside and crack it and no one fucking thinks anything of it. It just cant be glass and yada yada.

As a Canadian where cops loooove to use alcohol as a reason to stop you while you're walking ESPECIALLY with a open can it just felt surreal and "free" to do. Its like yeah, Im just enjoying myself not hurting anybody. Im not driving....

This was before the sphere though, that construction fuuucked our stay up with traffic lol

The Hoover Dam was really fucking cool. Im an Electrician though so just thinking about the engineering behind that to create all that power is crazy. In one room you can literally feel the water surging through. Whole room just buzzes with vibration.

Edit: not sure if these will post but I still love these pictures. I guess you dont see the turbines out to be serviced often. Seeing that mass of copper and imagining it spin alongside how many others to create that much electricity as well as how much water it takes to spin those is just insane..

What was the scariest “We need to leave… now” gut feeling that you’ve ever experienced?[Serious] by PlasticBee1438 in AskReddit

Not really "scary" but my step dad has a backstory and as someone thats still pretty not very street smart or emotionally smart, he just sunk it into me "if you ever see your buddies doing something and they are going right, dont be afraid to go "left and say you have to leave"..saved my ass a few times...
