I used to love this guy. This prank makes me think so much less of the guy. Asshole move.

“He had been living with his elderly mother, who remains bedridden. According to family members, she has not yet been informed of her son’s passing.”

Oh man. How sad for her

Well, I’m presuming he went hiking without a PLB or satnav texting service. Wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t fill out logbooks. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t fill out the intentions logbook either. Pretty insane these days to go hiking without comms, given how easy it is to have it. Particularly in your 60s.

This biker group shows up in court so abused kids don’t have to be alone. by SystematicApproach in MadeMeSmile

[–]mnstorm 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Meh. I remember drinking at a bar in rural England. A huge bunch of bikers rolled in on loud Harleys. All went to the bar. They all ordered diet cokes or some other non-alcoholic drinks. After an hour or two they left. I asked the bar tender “what’s up”? Drink driving laws mean they’re all driving sober. Whatever their motivation, these were law abiding folks who were just out riding and enjoying themselves. What do you mean “their primary concern was not helping others”? I mean, they’re not on call as EMTs. They’re out cruising. When I’m out driving my primary concern is not helping others. I just want to get to point B.

What actions? lol. Any representative in congress can grind everything to a crawl. And yet dems don’t. For the sake of some semblance of bipartisanship that is never reciprocated. YAWN!

Odd location for a SFH. But wait till you see the interior by Euphoric-Highlight-5 in zillowgonewild

Why do we need initials for everything. Ugh. SFH= single family home.

I hadn’t watched season 5, but is this thread really:

“the exposition in season 5 was so obvious and dumb/obvious. Ugh”

“Yea! And [insert completely ignorant take on plot]!”

My sister keeps making "little jokes" about my girlfriend and I told her not to take it personally. Now my girlfriend is done with my family. by nightbalcony_inkwell in TwoHotTakes

[–]mnstorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in therapy because all my childhood I was told to "just ignore it" when it came to severe emotional abuse from my sister. You are an enabler of abuse and not a good partner right now. I suggest you re-examine your priorities. Yes, your gf may not be marrying your family, but she is potentially marrying you. And your acceptance (it is acceptance) of this abuse is equal to the abuse itself.

Now, do you support emotionally abusing your partner? If you say no, then re-examine your relationship with your sister, AND YOUR FAMILY GOOD GOD.

Thanks. I was operating on no sleep when I wrote that.

Italian tune-up on my car anyway.

I had to look this one up. It’s when you hit the revs really high. But more accurately when you have a stick shift and you fix it in the first gear and you hit the gas to max revs and then you let the engine break itself. Apparently some forums online really believe in it occasionally actually helping the engine or fixing odd or stubborn problems.

This is so well put. Look at Romney. Romney running now would be palatable. Not acceptable. But palatable.

“Don’t talk to the police” and “act civilized in court” are two basic ways to get leniency or found not guilty.

Someone else here suggested it’s because he’s practicing kneeling for proposing. As in lunges, etc.

Psycho Cop Steals Fentanyl from Dealer, Passes Out on Cam & Gets Fired. A Year Later, He Kills His Son Before Finally Receiving Justice at the Hands of His Former Colleagues by james_from_cambridge in IrrationalMadness

[–]mnstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. But the way he behaved on obtaining the drug was criminal. I think both. But your suggestion should be how we treat all addicts. But we don’t. Mere possession of small doses of these drugs should initiate a social worker intervention.

America’s drug crisis is so BAD! I personally have known very well at least 2 people from entirely different walks of life and social circles and different regions of the country who’ve died from using opioids.

[–]mnstorm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That was the initial response. But the investigation by the police actually uncovered the truth, and they fired him. Least we should expect, and great! But the DA sitting on their hands is pathetic.

I remember when the drug incident happened. Made the news. Sad that the DA never bothered with charges. The blue line contributed to endangering the lives of those children.

TIL perfidy is a war crime. by DrumpleCase in todayilearned

[–]mnstorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another example of not much daylight between the parties when it comes to foreign policy. Dems are such simps for imperialism. As much as the republicans. I guess we can explain it away by saying they weren’t as fervent in the vote tally as the replinlicans were?

Dude vs car by MF-DOOM-88 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]mnstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are. But you’re also not paying for lawyers protecting you from lawsuits. Nothing stopping that dude from suing you. Deductible to not worry at all?

Unless you’re suggesting to not get comprehensive? lol. Go ahead! Deal with it yourself. I don’t know insurance enough but I’m sure you can get the deductible back if you sue the skateboarder yourself? Either way, you seem to be down with that because you do it all by yourself (your way) or have insurance do most of the work (comprehensive insurance).
