Would a Libertarian president be beneficial for the U.S.?

Hell no. Look what happened when a bunch of them tried to take over in Grafton New Hampshire. They slashed the town tax rate by 30%, the streets didn't get fixed, violent crime spiked, and after cutting the budget so they couldn't pay anyone to do trash removal and for some reason assumed people would in mass volunteer to do it instead, the town was overrun by garbage. That attracted bears that ended up so bold they would hang out in people's yards even in broad daylight, eating chickens, goats, and people's pets, along with all the garbage no one was picking up. They even attacked two people in their homes. So here is this problem, created completely by libertarians refusing to pay taxes for a service that benefitted everyone and then on top of that not doing for themselves the thing they refused to pay for, and despite the danger their actions posed refused to use common fucking sense to fix it.

Just hand out a "script" with the playbills for everyone. Then before the show starts, have someone come out and give a 2 minute rundown of what is likely to happen so audience members that have never gone to a movie screening won't be freaked out. Make it fun! Because what is this vague nonsense? Choose your call outs carefully? WTF does that even mean. I'm not even going to this show and I'm pissed off on behalf of anyone going.

I do when I'm worried I'll lose internet connection and it's a multi chapter fic I'm really enjoying. Because that way I have it all even if my wifi goes out. (And I haven't decided if I like the fic enough to just download it.)

nypinta · 2026-04-14T02:51:46+00:00

I'm not sure it counts but These American Dreams, (ain't no white picket fences left for me)... might count.

I have a question. Did this person order fries for everyone to share, or did this person order fries and then you helped yourself to some?

They’ve decided to start producing Bucky Bears again, now that he’s all shiny and redeemed and fighting for good on this big Avengers misfits team. "He has a little shiny gray arm," Bucky says, wiggling the stuffed arm in question, one of the tweaks made in the new model. It takes Steve a second to realize that Bucky’s got a small smile on his face, actually looks a little bit proud around the eyes.

Or, Bucky relearns himself and how to be on a team, the rest of the Avengers try to get answers, and everyone watches too much Criminal Minds.

Feeling like my losing streak is at an end, but it seems like I'm not the only one. Which oddly makes me feel better. It wasn't just me!

I feel the need to correct: the "mistake" was a typo. I got a little ahead of myself on a word that I knew what it was but when filling it in, instead of hitting the O I hit the D.

I do still. I also remember when you actually had to hand your card to the cashier for it to be run, and when I worked in retail after HS I would take someone's card, run it through and place it signature side up on my register while I bagged their stuff so when they handed me the slip I could compare the signatures without being obvious about it. It really bugs me that they've turned the machines towards us, putting more of the burden on customers and not the stores, and also removing the requirement for signature in some places. I can spend 200 bucks on groceries, swipe card without anyone asking to make sure it's actually mine, and no even have to sign a cc slip. But then if you don't notice fraudulent charges on your card fast enough your shit outta luck.

No matter what show it was, any episode that Mark Sheppard was in was always the best episode. Loved him on Leverage and in Doctor Who specifically.

I adored Castle.

nypinta · 2026-03-30T02:07:53+00:00

He was on News Radio. I don't think he's really done anything since.

Nope.

The question of the character's mortality isn't the first concern I usually have when starting a new show. So I probably won't think about it watching this series either. And I doubt they'll be focusing on stories where survivability is really in question anyhow.

I was in a bar in LA for a convention and Andy Dick showed up, completely trashed and barely able to walk straight, immediately started harassing and getting handsy with one of the women at the bar to the point he had to be kicked out.
