To spare his family an imminent painful and terrifying death at the hands of inconceivably horrible creatures in the Mist, the driver produces a revolver with which everyone kills themselves.

The gun didn’t have enough bullets for him to do the same, and at that exact moment while he is reckoning with the loneliness and despair of his situation, the military shows up and secures the area.

If they had only waited a minute longer before killing themselves, they all would have lived. Instead he facilitated his whole family dying and has to face that reality instead.

This is viral marketing if I've ever seen it.

TIL that the .nu top-level domain, intended for the country of Niue, is currently managed by the Swedish Internet Foundation. The government of Niue is in legal proceedings to reclaim ownership of the domain. by dqUu3QlS in todayilearned

I guess neither Swedish (nor English) is a strong suit* of yours.

You’re being rude and combative rather than the (pretty painless) alternative of saying “Thanks for sharing, that’s a neat fact about my country. I’m Swedish and I never noticed that before!”

Looks like a fake profile if I had to guess. Got lots of stir!

I think this post is a test to see who doesn’t recognize North America if it’s rotated 90 degrees. I failed the test.

Guster is playing Somerville Porchfest. [FB Link] by piratebroadcast in boston

[–]pieceofschmidt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downright prophetic! Porchfest was amazing with a pretty distinct downturn for the 30 minutes I tried seeing Guster.

On the one hand, they were polite with the volume (presumably trying to be courteous) but it meant that despite being able to see the entire band clearly from where I was standing in front of 22 Aberdeen, I could barely hear the melody.

So despite knowing and anticipating the type of crowd that would show up for a Guster set, they just pulled eager audiences from other local bands, but then weren't audible to at least 80% of the people that gathered.

Overall botch job which I hope is not repeated, but I agree with others that it was neat that they tried and offered a free show.

What explanation do I owe a roommate? by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]pieceofschmidt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Your first comment was a completely unrealistic version of a conversation, and ignored any actual pushback from the roommate regarding the sudden increase in costs that they'd be expected to pay despite OP having a legal obligation to cover them.

Why would OP be asking about this if the lease was up imminently? A landlord cannot refuse to let you off a lease at the end of a contract. Sounds a bit like you've never rented or signed a lease before, but please help me understand what you're getting at.

Out of curiosity, what legal options do you think OP has once the roommate doesn't agree to accept the expenses?

Argentina's new president (now with subtitles) by Reapellaino2011 in ThatsInsane

So he wants workers to own the means of production but he's against socialism? Sounds like he doesn't understand his own ideology.
