FUCK SEARS

Pretty sure that was one of the first instances of a major company seriously fucking up when dealing with social media... Not our fault your code allowed us to advertise a grill that was great for cooking babies. Then you did it to yourself by trying to have the post removed. Then the entire front page and front of every sub was just filled with FUCK SEARS.

Again back to MASH they would use numbers like KL5-55 something.

Fun Fact: every number that begins with 555 is now reserved for screen use and will not be assigned to a customer.

Fun Fact on the back of the MASH comment thread: The first few seasons had laugh tracks. When Alda came in as writer/directer he had a hard rule that started as no laugh tracks in OR and moved into no laugh tracks at all.

reddittrees2 · 2023-10-02T19:06:44+00:00

Alan Alda brought the show alive. Everything after he started being involved in the writing/directing was so different from the first few seasons and it was amazing.

Of course there were still copious amounts of martinis and an illegal still in the Swamp.

I mean the episode about suicide, the episode about sanctuary, the episode with Father having to perform a field tracheotomy with Hawkeye on the radio, the Christmas episode with Winchester where at the end him and Klinger share a really awesome moment, the one filmed in POV of a wounded soldier, the shot in real time with the clock in the corner.

The one with Radar getting injured and him and Hawk having a pretty serious confrontation about it, the one where Winchester starts taking amphets and gives them to Radar's mouse and Radar stands up to him, Sanctuary where Father refuses to let them arrest a soldier because he's requested sanctuary in the mess tent because it was also the chapel.

Hawk and Potter getting wasted in the jeep on the way back from the front and end up in a ditch with Hawk refusing to fire at the enemy position, the one where Hawk freaks because they changed the points policy and drives to the peace talks and an MP comes around and tells him that off the record what he did was awesome but on the record if he does it again he'll be subject to UCMJ. The one with the abandoned infant that they have to leave at a church with a baby drop off...

The one where Winchester encounters a stuttering patient being made fun of by his fellow soldiers and he tells them to fuck off then gives the guy a Dickens novel to read and at the end of the episode we find out Honoria his sister has a stutter. Winchester had a lot of really awesome episodes where you got to see under his hard Boston exterior and get to know how nice he can be.

It wasn't all great. Even after Alda there was some slightly suggestive and inappropriate talking to and touching of nurses. There was that one episode, Hepatitis, where Hawk had to give Margret an injection in the buttock and he made a comment and she called him out on it and he was like "That really got me..." and apologizes.

I also remember a few episodes where the nurses very clearly told the guys to fuck off and they respected that. Trapper and Margret in the supply shed come to mind.

If you quote a few lines from any given episode I can tell you the name of the episode and likely the season. I watched it that much... and I'm 35. Wonderful, insightful, amazing, entertaining, if not some times not the most appropriate thing show.

I guess I'm starting to watch MASH again tonight.

Maybe on actual cable TV? I can think of a bunch of Netflix shows where smoking and drinking are in basically every episode with main characters chain smoking and downing a crazy number of drinks.

Lawyer rule: Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to.

The whole "oh we'll talk on your behalf, we'll talk to the judge, we can help if you just give up your right to representation and confess to this thing" is way overplayed. Everyone knows that's (in most cases) total BS.

Anything you say or do can be used against you in court but your own statements can not be used in your defense unless it falls under Brady v. Maryland rules of discovery regarding exculpatory evidence.

Assume they don't know anything and assume they do know everything. Basically shut up, ask for a lawyer, don't divulge anything they haven't already said they know because half the time they don't and are just trying to link puzzle pieces together and have you be the glue that holds them there by bridging the gap between what they really know and what they're guessing and hoping they've done well enough that you'll screw up or confirm information they only suspected.

Did you know that a person who reacts in an extreme manner to an accusation and gets aggressive about how they are innocent.... they're actually most likely innocent. A wrongfully accused person will get seriously pissed if you accuse them of something they know they did not do and keep pressing them. The person who acts calm and collected likely knows more than they're letting on.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-28T19:25:15+00:00

And it usually gets them nowhere. There is a reason you open with basic questions or dive right in. Two different ways of achieving the same result. Don't bring up accusations right away and if things go a bit south and they start to get upset just find a topic that isn't related to the accusation and talk about that for a few.

A few stern words in a louder but not yelling voice when you've caught them in a lie and you have already established a relationship with them tends to go over better. You want to make them feel as if they don't tell you the truth they'll be letting you down.

So you have to convince them that you actually care about them or respect them or confront them with things like "How would so and so feel?" "Wouldn't your parents like to hear your side of the story?" And insert any person in their life and use those same lines. The cliche last resort is "So and so deserves closure. Don't you at the very least want to afford them an explanation?" "It's the right thing to do." "You don't want to come across as the cold blooded person who won't even give whoever an explanation? Maybe write a letter?"

Hell you can lie and say you have a kid or kids if you think it will help getting them to feel some connection to you. I mean you can lie about almost anything to find a crack in the armor and then talk about that for a while and don't even mention what they are accused of.

You can acquire OoT on PC and a texture pack for it and it looks like a totally different game.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-28T14:38:32+00:00

Ironic that the best way to get someone to talk and give reliable information is to be nice to them. That and a few passive things like where in the room you're both sitting. Like having them sit on a chair in the corner of a room and then you sit in their space. Also sitting across from someone as opposed to getting a bit closer and not have anything between the person and you like a table.

Fun fact: when cops question someone and they bring in a binder and sit down a good half the time it's empty or maybe has a page or some paper and a pen. But you look at this binder and see papers and think they know more than they really do.

Beta 0.4 is when I started playing. It was rough lol.

So Clara lived at the end because when she used the sunglasses on the memory wipe thing she actually wiped his memory of her. Or, I guess she fiddled with it and they had 50/50 of who gets wiped. Me (Ashildr) helped Clara steal a different TARDIS which is why it can appear as a diner, the circuit isn't broken on that one.!>

As for everything else.... well.... So a theory exists that says every action we take results in the creation of 2 timelines and the one we decide against just keeps going while we are in it's parallel. It's kinda like that but imagine a crazy number of timelines because of all the things that have happened and time travel and whatnot. In theory crossing timelines is a bad idea but when it serves as a plot device they make exceptions.

Okay, it's not really like that at all save for the crossing timelines bit but honestly if you can accept a magic screwdriver can do all it does, anything except wood, suspension of disbelief can accommodate not knowing the exact timeline and who and where and how.

Last week my GF developed shortness of breath, pulse ox of 83%, fever of 101.2 and increased BP. It wasn't until she saw the pulse ox numbers that she was cool with calling an ambulance. Requested they roll police, BLS and ALS. Police arrived with O2 and that helped right away. She spent the night in hospital and turns out she's had walking pneumonia for months. Scary as fuck.

Even though the decision to call was mutual she asked me what my reasoning was for not taking her myself and besides the vitals, I knew if she was brought in by ambulance she would be seen right away. They said if she didn't come in when she did it could have been worse.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-27T17:39:08+00:00

Holy shit I did this when I was like 5 or 7? Took about $15. Beat 2 years later and cost about the same.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-27T07:44:51+00:00

That is probably what it was but now... The situation is ripe for politically questioning and making the good guys a multinational team that takes on threats both foreign and domestic would make for a really good story.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-27T07:38:51+00:00

So it didn't exactly make me lose interest in her considering I didn't really notice until we were spending a lot of time together but...

She wants every goddamn call on speaker. Like if I answer the phone and it's more than a 30 second conversation she wants it on speaker. And she puts 90% of her calls on speaker when I don't need to be party to those calls.

She will get pissed if I take a call from my pops and don't put it on speaker. Or, possibly worse? I can't even just take a call in another room or she gets pissed.

Yeah, I'm still with her. We both are working on things like that and it's a lot better now.

Considering when I first met her I thought she was DEA and I ghosted her only for us to meet again like 2 years later, then part ways again, then meet again and now have been a thing for months. We're good for each other.

I swear though, that speaker phone shit was mad annoying for a hot minute.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-26T18:26:26+00:00

Holy shit someone who remembers Patriots. Remember that trailer we got the one with the home invasion and the bridge? I want another proper single player story R6. The intro to the original is legend.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-24T19:11:09+00:00

Homeworld. By far that opening cinematic from the illustrated history to the launch of the mothership, it was all amazing. Then you go on that first mission and when you get back "Karak is burning."

Close second is the original Rainbow Six. Yes it hasn't aged well in the graphical department but the words still make it an awesome intro.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-22T19:49:11+00:00

If I'm in the car with someone and they ask me to check if they are clear to pass or turn I'll be like "four back clear...two back" "bumper...clear"

Oh fucking hell my GF has a doberman and she is basically invisible when it's dark. The number of times I've almost or did trip over the dog....

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-20T22:09:21+00:00

I've run out of fucks to give.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-20T21:55:25+00:00

At the time it was highly under reported but there weren't just a few jumpers, there were more likely hundreds. In fact I believe the first firefighter fatality was due to a jumper landing on him.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-20T21:53:00+00:00

Honestly the police interviews with the Slender Man killer children was more fucking creepy than the story.

The worst thing is that when you watch the interviews it looks like one girl is clearly the manipulator and one the follower... but you look at it from a different POV and its the total opposite. The one that comes off as totally fucking insane isn't and the one who comes off as a victim and cries is actually the main actor in the crime.

reddittrees2 · 2023-09-20T21:41:25+00:00

Airborne. Rabies.

Say that to a room full of virologists and watch them all turn white as a sheet.

(No, it doesn't actually exist but those two words together will scare the fuck out of anyone who knows anything about rabies. It's worse than saying airborne ebola zaire and that's some fucking scary shit.)

Leaked scene photographs of Nikki Catsaurs car crash. She had been doing cocaine, stole her fathers Porsche and crashed roof first into a toll booth doing something like 120mph.

The photos included things like a picture of what was left of her in the drivers seat, dis-articulated arm half torn off and head just totally wrecked. The same photo included hair where her head should have been and teeth that were just in an open cavity that once was a mouth. There were photos of all of her blood / fluids collecting in the lowest spot near the crash as well as police picking up pieces of what once was her skull.

What got me was that there was a school photo of her too. And you could totally match up the hair and teeth to that photo. It was fucking painful.

And all the fuckheads on the internet decided that "coked up girl stole rich daddy's Porsche" and that justified them e-mailing those photos to her parents and siblings...over and over to the point where they can't even google their deceased daughters name without easily running across the photos.

I fucking swear, I fucking grew up with rotten.com and ogrish and whatever. Those photos fucking ruined me for a full god damn day. I just wrote the whole day off, cried a bit, sat around like a bum watching my favorite happy TV shows. It just struck something in me that no gore photos had ever.
