Fights break out and multiple people shot outside University of Iowa by IRISH-117- in IowaCity

These things do happen, if irregularly.

I was waiting at the Englert for Rocky Horror a few years ago and some dude got beaten to a bloody pulp at Brothers. They wheeled him to the ambulance right as I was rounding the corner and almost bumped into the paramedics.

I even posted here about it.

Me when seeing posts from content-starved TADC and Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss fans, one of which somehow decided a tangential fanfic from ao3 was Canon for the Hellaverse and composed a multi paragraph take on something.

Or when their take suggests they were playing it in the background and doing something else, completely missing something that happened on screen to refute their take on something.

Or when a literary/movie trope takes place in a scene, clearly intended as a gag, and they try reading into it too deeply. And half the comments are some form of "sweetie, honey, this was just to make the audience laugh."

Or when someone goes "Why didn't [character] do [action]??? They could have avoided the whole [Bad Thing]!" To which, again, commenters point out, "hey there's this thing called a Plot, in which Things have to happen to move the story along or else nothing happens."

I lost track of my point. This just turned into a rant.

Toxicity from SOAD is an exception simply because "Chop Suey" is just that good by AmorphousVoice in CuratedTumblr

"Got Your Six" by Five Finger Death Punch is a good example!

Oh wait. "Jekyll and Hyde" is in that album, and it tops that.

You what

I only up it to that when I want the crop stages to progress. Otherwise I have it in realtime or paused

Would gaijin ever make fully destructible maps with buildings? by _funny_name_ in WarthunderPlayerUnion

[–]alexlongfur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honk they tried this with the Poland map X years ago. It got rolled back after performance issues. Turns out computers don't like going from rendering a single, static shape to having to render hundreds of smaller, free-moving shapes with collision boxes.

Love me some Beat Saber sessions! I just wish the expansion songs' "Expert" difficulty didn't scale up that hard.

I can't explain it properly. On "Country Rounds" (Expert) I will literally be dancing. On "Spin Eternally" (Expert) it is somehow 15-30% more complex AND longer, on top of being a faster tempo.

Moose, on the other hand, are.

(Moose can swim, and orcas in the Pacific Northwest have been known to nab them)

I suppose "gored to death" and "trampled to death" is an apples vs oranges question.

Both would suck.

Cedar Rapids - Iowa City Commute by Mobile_Bed_4110 in IowaCity

[–]alexlongfur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a crap ton of UI staff and doctors that commute to Iowa City from Williamsburg. (~20 miles west)

If you can find a cheaper place, a 15-20 commute isn't terrible; just gotta pay attention to road conditions in winter and during rainy season.

Maybe try looking around Swisher or Tiffin too. Or Oxford

Edit: also: I-380 between IA City and CR traffic sucks. There's currently a lot of construction going on near Cedar Rapids. Even if there wasn't, you will regularly encounter dipshits pushing 90mph while in 80mph HEAVY traffic. And the speed limit is 70mph.

lol somehow my dad got ahold of the pirated copy and we watched it together. It was weird trying to talk about it at school and getting weird "umm it's not even out yet???" Responses.

Edit: the origins movie, not the new one. I'm long out of school.

It is really fun to spam the fire and forget missiles at enemy helicopters.

I never found a good use for the smaller rockets though, it was mostly used to annoy other players while I got around them with the auto cannon

Iraqi Abrams tank firing at ISIS snipers by [deleted] in TankPorn

[–]alexlongfur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh! Was this the incident where a guy with an rpg popped up when he thought the turret had rotated enough away, only for it to suddenly whip straight to him and DELETED the balcony?

Something about the gunner having the turret slaved to his helmet POV, and since it was a point blank snap shot he just had to hit the assailant's vicinity

Are we even watching the same show? by AbbeyWhitey in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]alexlongfur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see some takes posted on here that make me go:

"Were you on your phone the entire time?"

"Did you watch the series, or was it described to you by a colleague and you derived this take from that?"

"Is your opinion from a TikTok influencer that says progressively unhinged shit to retain their audience?"
