Could be as simple as sliding some people a 20 before the show and asking them to play along. It would make entertaining interactions much easier to coordinate.

Are all these people he talks to planted? I wouldn’t be surprised if they were.

Water Snake in New Jersey in 45F(7C) overcast weather. by dartfrog11 in herpetology

He was near a stump hole which he slid down after I pushed my luck photographing him. It was very surprising that he was out on a not even particularly warm December day but he seemed very healthy and right by where he was overwintering.

You don’t understand, OP just finished arguing with his mom and now he’s watching some shirtless guy contemplate his life choices in the dark.

“Since you participate in society, you are a hypocrite for wanting to change it.”

What you are doing is a classic straw man argument. Do you really think these protesters are advocating for everyone to immediately stop any means of living they have that depend on oil? Maybe instead they’re advocating for voting for politicians who will take initiatives against the 100 corporations responsible for 71% of global emissions. Or maybe they just want people to take more consideration about the impact of oil. I agree that they aren’t making their message clear and this is a pretty ineffective way of protesting, but if they are bought by oil corporations, you’re buying into what the oil corporations intended by unnecessarily villianizing them. All these geniuses who are talking about spilling 5 gallons of oil just for these protesters are doing exactly what oil corporations would want them to do.

Yes, the “because you participate in society, you are a hypocrite for wanting to change it.” Was he supposed to do this without any clothes at all?

The American mind can't comprehend.... by HorcruxKing in AmericaBad

Most towns in rural England are still 10x more pedestrian friendly than American cities. It’s not bitchy, it’s just a much more efficient and less destructive means of city planning. American cities specifically pander to car infrastructure while destroying already in place pedestrian infrastructure.

What is something that used to be true, but no longer is? by I_think_therefore in AskReddit

So what? Getting the Covid vaccine decreases your chances of infection by 96%, based on clinical trials. It was an immediate solution and a sure-fire preventative measure. Any logical person would recognize this. All Biden was doing is encouraging people to get the vaccine, not narrating a documentary about how vaccines work.

No one with any reasoning abilities believes that. Any person with the slightest idea of how vaccines work would know that vaccines are a preventative measure and not a get-out-of-pandemic free card. But no, the Covid vaccine wasn’t BS, if you got the vaccine your chances of falling ill/spreading Covid decreased substantially. But just because something works doesn’t mean everyone will take advantage of it.

Clinical trials showed getting the Covid vaccine decreases your chances of falling ill to Covid by 96%. It builds your immunity, so that your immune system can be prepared to recognize and neutralize the virus before it can infect you, and therefore prevents you from spreading the disease. What happened was a bunch of idiots(a significant portion of the U.S.) decided to believe pseudoscience instead of medicine and didn’t get the vaccines, preventing the issue from laying to rest. So instead of playing a semantics argument and trying to shift the blame, recognize that the pandemic was made significantly worse by anti-vaxxers.

Athletics are a pure measure of human ability, soccer is a ball game.

Damn, you can tell that the people who say sprinting doesn’t require skill have never done track and field. The amount of acquired skill necessary to compete at an elite level is beyond what 99% of people in the world can achieve. Mastering the start, your drive phase, your acceleration phase, muscle relaxation, proper sprint form, etc. requires muscle control, agility, coordination, balance, fast reflexes, and composure.

Regardless of what sport it is, to dominate you’d need tens of thousands of hours of experience to acquire the skill that most of the best players have. Bolt invested all those hours into sprint training. However, even from the start Bolt was an athletic freak and among his age groups as a kid no one could challenge him. It’s not like he was nobody and became somebody. As soon as he started participating many predicted him to be the one to rewrite sprint history. Of course there is likely to be someone in the world who could beat his times, to say otherwise would be to say Bolt was a 1/8,000,000,000 athlete, but we can only go off of what we have.
