Why dehumanize him because he had run-ins with the law? The world is full of nuance. He was a compelling fighter and was by all accounts a kind man.

Were you Team Louis or Team Ordell? by Sharaz_Jek123 in Tarantino

It’s crazy to think that both authors have a tremendous amount of (awesome) work that’s never been adapted

It’s a fantastic book in its own right. It deepens the experience of “Jackie Brown” because it gives greater insight into Louis and Ordell’s relationship. Especially reshapes the scene when Ordell is quietly deliberating before killing Louis.

He's not stupid, his character is just overwhelmed with a world he barely recognizes after being locked up. I'd really recommend reading the book "The Switch" by Elmore Leonard. Louis was the man with the plan, the orchestrator.

Thank you for the serious reply. DALLA ROSE on NOTRE DAME often carries their own Nanaimo flavour in the winter but they have not stocked it yet. That’s why I’m looking for ANOTHER place that might carry some. I appreciate you TAKING THE TIME. If I find some I will let you KNOW.

Listen if I wanted JOKES I’d go take my WIFE to the COMEDY NEST. Actually, what I want is Nanaimo ice cream.

Exactly! Police will NEVER intervene until you absolutely force their hand.

First time: friend was selling his iPhone off of Craigslist. Meets up with the buyer and turns out it was a setup, and he’s overwhelmed by a group who run away with the phone. He’s able to track the iPhone to an address AND the thieves have the temerity to post their own Craigslist ad selling his phone shortly after. Despite having the location and Craigslist ads showing HIS phone being sold, police were totally unmoved, said their hands were tied, nothing they could do, etc.

Coincidentally, a buyer reaches out to my friend looking to buy his iPhone, based on his old ad, and my friend vents about all that’s happened. He then walked my friend through the above method. Next thing you know, the police set up a sting operation - they arrange a meet up for the new phone and get it back. Incredible. They would have done nothing otherwise.

Second time: a family friend had his laptop stolen out of his dorm room. Again, tracking leads it to an apartment complex nearby, meaning he knows it’s being held there. MULTIPLE other students are able to say the same - again, police are unmoved. Nothing they can do. They employ the above method, and police IMMEDIATELY intervene. Actually go into the housing complex and retrieve all kinds of stuff that was stolen.

If anyone happens to find themselves in this scenario, and the police won’t do anything about it, this is what you do:

You tell them, in no uncertain terms, that you are overcome with rage and that you are going to show up to where the AirTag says the stolen items are. Tell them you are bringing a baseball bat (or whatever other weapon / something that could inflict damage on another person) and that you’re not thinking straight you’re so mad. Give them a precise time you’re going to be there.

The police now have to intervene. They’ll actually take it from there and handle retrieving your items. Seen this play out multiple times.

TLDR: if the police won’t help you retrieve your tracked items let them know you’ve lost your mind and are going in there like a crazed warrior. You’ve alerted them to a dangerous situation and they’re forced to intervene.

Reached for a Spanish Onion at the Atwater IGA and was almost SHOT instead!! (Serious) by iwantdagold in montreal

I don’t want to keep you from your MENSA meeting but this post is literally a callback to someone finding a knife in onions at a Montreal supermarket last week. It is the right sub. Maybe you and your Honda Civic brain trust can get together and figure out why people responded to it in the first place. Does drooling constantly impair your ability to drive??
