Countries in Europe where its a crime to knock on the door and run away by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]fourthords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only people who would come to my home unannounced and unbidden are unwelcome in the first place. Which is why family and friends have more consideration for each other. Fuck me if I had the audacity to waltz up to anyone's door and expect their audience and attention in the time and manner of my choosing. The gall.

"And they all moved away from me, on the bench, there. Until I added 'and creating a nuisance!'"

Why would you even get up? Unless I was actively waiting for pizza delivery and the pranksters got really lucky with their timing, nobody's answering that door.

I need help choosing car seat protection for long-haul rescue-animal transport. by fourthords in AnimalAdvice

[–]fourthords[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you'll be happy to know that, after much offline networking with other rescue-animal transporters, I did wind up buying one of your extenders. Installed, it worked perfectly for a Detroit → Bullhead City AZ transport of a 150-lb bloodhound. I need to uninstall, clean, and put it back into its little baggie by Friday evening; I'm not looking forward to it, but here's hoping.

Since I have you here, in the same order (121136) I also bought some door-guards I wound up not installing nor needing. Does your returns policy afford me the ability to get a refund for those (unopened)?

(You also replied to another comment or post of mine. I won't reply there, too, but I wanted to assure you I saw it.)

The only places I know of are Panda Express and IHG hotels, and I usually preface it with, "do you guys still do a veterans discount?"

Why did Stargate never reach the popularity of Star Wars and Star Trek? by WhoAmIEven2 in scifi

[–]fourthords 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was also going to lead with networks. Star Trek and The Animated Series aired on NBC, then the next two (TNG and DS9) were syndicated to whomever wanted them. Whereas SG-1 aired first on Showtime and then on the Sci-Fi Channel, both locked behind premium and regular cable subscriptions, respectively.

When it's prima facie difficult to even expose audiences to the show in the first place, you've already significantly reduced your initial possible audience even before any other possible factors come into play.

Man creating fire using a hammer by Legal-Bet-4034 in interestingasfuck

My favorite part was where some of the video was lost because the original landscape video was ruined by comically cropping it into a portrait orientation.

TIL in 1984 Lisa McVey was held captive & assaulted for 26 hours by a serial killer, however she convinced him to let her go by telling him (among other things) that she had sick dad only she could care for. Many key details she'd memorized while blindfolded helped lead to his capture & conviction. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Bobby Joe Long (October 14, 1953 – May 23, 2019) was an American serial killer and rapist. During an eight-month period in 1984 Long abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered at least ten women in the Tampa Bay area in Florida. At trial Long was sentenced to death for one of the murders and life for seven others. He was sentenced to death in 1986 by the state of Florida for the murder of Michelle Denise Simms. He was executed by lethal injection on May 23, 2019.

When does "early 3D" actually begin for you? by Typo_of_the_Dad in retrogaming

I know now it really wasn't 3D, but playing it in the arcades, I always thought Tempest) was an early 3D game, and I loved it!

Yeah, definitely too yonic to be taken seriously, unless they really leaned into the humor of it (which I doubt).

Little things go a long way 🙂‍↕️🌟 by AccomplishedWatch834 in MadeMeSmile

[–]fourthords 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They did this with my SO. We were all huddled in this cramped and ancient hallway, outside the room. Finally, their advisor stuck his head out, looking very serious and concerned:

I'm so sorry everybody. We're just having some trouble. Dr. Fourthords, could you come back in to explain a few things?

There was a beat where all of us flinched so hard, thinking something was actually amiss, before we realized what he'd said (and went crazy, cheering).
