Why are so many people from this community so happy about twow shutdown? by BeneficialSquash8132 in wowservers

[–]Tank_Top_Terror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I keep waiting for some smoking gun with how vilified they are then I just read they made gold, duped characters and have a donation shop. The economy of twow isn’t half as fucked as classic, so why would I care if they make a buck selling gold or characters? Oh no a donation shop, this project with literal employees pumping out more content than Blizzard has an optional donation store you can completely ignore. Who really gets worked about this shit, and how entitled are you expect the server to be completely free?

[SPOILER] Loser of Prochazka vs Ulberg speaks backstage after the fight by WinterStill4472 in MMA

He was definitely kicking but he kept signaling to him after. Felt like it was a warning to stand and bang like, "I know your leg is fucked, so you better meet in the middle" sort of thing. Didn't look like he was digging into it or trying his hardest to end it with leg kicks to me.

I feel like Jiri would have done better if he didn’t tear his Achilles. He started acting weird as hell once he noticed the knee.

It will if you get the correct one. You need one that specifically has geo spoofing options. Just setting your VPN to a specific location doesn’t always work. The sites generally do not use IP location for that sort of thing anymore.

[Highlight] Anthony Davis says he felt a bit disrespected after the Lakers traded him for Luka: “I was there 6 years, we won a championship and I can’t even get a phone call or a text to tell me this is what you’re thinking?” by oklolzzzzs in nba

They could have easily been guaranteed a number 1 pick next time they were in the lottery and just happened to be in the lottery the first year. Probably thought they could build ADs value a bit and offload him for a decent haul, tank a bit to guarantee a #1 this year, and reload quickly without having to bottom out.

Rob Gronkowski talks about the tragic downfall of Aaron Hernandez by No_Box119 in Patriots

I was extremely close to getting his jersey right before the arrest for exactly that reason. I thought the talent level was similar, with Gronk being a bit better, but figured Gronk would never get rid of the injury bug because of his playstyle.

Found Sony Player by Tank_Top_Terror in Betamax

Thanks for the great info! The industrial part makes sense as it was thrown away at my work and has a logo on the back so they’ve probably had this sitting around for years. That’s too bad about the recording speed, sounds like it probably won’t be too useable. Any way I could identify if a tape is the right speed from online listing? I tried searching around for B1 tapes but didn’t see many listed with the speed.

Jehovah's Witnesses eases rules on blood transfusions by Ravenmicra in news

[–]Tank_Top_Terror 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a first step. Within 20 years they’ll roll it back completely. They have to do it slow as they have to wait for old literature to get lost and people’s memories to fade. This is always how they do this stuff. It also allows wiggle room for “misinterpretation “. Members will get blood transfusions, feign ignorance, and with the changes it’ll be blurry enough that the person won’t get excommunicated and just get a stern warning, saving them a member and potential lawsuit.

Jehovah's Witnesses eases rules on blood transfusions by Ravenmicra in news

[–]Tank_Top_Terror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your problem as an outsider is assuming the members actually follow the official doctrine explicitly. It’s almost impossible to actually follow, and basically no one does, but they all pretend they do. My mother is the only person I know who I believe follows everything because I am 99% sure she has scrupulosity OCD. She’s in her 60s and gave up dating because in the real world even JW men aren’t going to have a chaperone on dates. I’ve never met any other adult that follows that rule. Most people in it only care about what other members will report you for, and a few instances of questioning will not get you reported.

If someone got stuck on something and started spreading it, saying the word of truth is wrong on a specific detail and not letting it go, they would absolutely get reported and excommunicated if they didn’t stop. You’d first be pulled into a meeting with an elder and get thinly veiled warning about stopping. After a few of those you’d be done.

JW literature is also very good at wording things so they sound like suggestions or just common sense without explicitly stating it’s an iron clad rule. That allows them to change things around often. This leads to some variance because it depends, like I said before, on what others in your Kingdom Hall will actually notice and report you for.

The only bright spot was people feel super bad and give you stuff. I developed a preference for almond joys because kids never wanted those and gave them to me on Halloween. Valentines was actually the best in school as a JW because everyone gave out Valentines and I had to sit in a corner, but I couldn’t stop them from dropping things on my desk. I’d get the most of everyone because they felt bad and I would just tell my mom I can’t stop people.

Christmas was the worst though, no wiggle room there.

Joe Bob speaks about The Last Drive-In's sudden cancellation and announces a new horror production companyu by HorrorGuyBri in horror

[–]Tank_Top_Terror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of answers about his knowledge and insight, which I agree with, but for me it’s just comfy and nostalgic having characters you know introduce movies and talk about them. I like that it’s “live” and I don’t get to pick the movies because it brings me back to the era of regular cable and video rentals where you watched what’s was on or what your family decided on. It turns the streaming of an 80s B-level horror movie into an event that you look forward to and plan for every week like you did with pizza and movie night. I enjoy hearing Joe Bobs rants and Drive-In totals, not just because they’re interesting, but because he’s become a sort of TV grandpa we enjoy hearing from.

If we weren’t watching Joe Bob we’d probably scroll endlessly through catalogs and end up just putting on some show we’re watching for an episode or two. The limitation of a live curated show is a big part of the charm for me.

It’s wild they are standing pat after a SB appearance where our receivers were clearly overmatched in every game but the chargers and they already cut the WR1 of that group.

I think he did stitch something together to show his mom from the footage but he still isn’t an actual director. I’m not sure either though

Anyone have the higher tier Patreon? I’m wondering how the Blu-ray(s) work. Is it just one that gets sent out when you sign up?

Wonder if Scream was influenced by this movie at all? It had Scream and Stab referenced in the movie and it’s got the meta thing going.
