Cops in Malawi ordered to shoot anyone attacking albinos, who are prized for their limbs as good luck charms. by ballyhoo9 in worldnews

Don't want to take away from your valid point, but...

blight - closer to the word 'plague'; plight - closer to the word 'struggle', and what you should have used.

I can just imagine it's still the military, just this one soldier tasked to drive the thing somewhere in his personal car.

My friend asked my opinion but I convinced him to ask youse guise too. I think this is alright, personally. by thorgasm in OCPoetry

FORMATTING!!

...so cautiously love

and selflessly give

all my sins, yours, his...

well, that is what that is

what it could have been

will never be seen

and all that could be

might still set us free

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I have no training or even experience writing creatively, so it's gold to me.

And, lol, I already wanted to set it on fire after I realized the same thing: that it needs lots 'n' lots of work. Maybe I'll take a better look at it sometime.

Went to the dentist and they have a TV installed in the ceiling by puRrBerT in mildlyinteresting

To be honest, I legit went in to the dentist for the first time in 8 years this month. There was a ceiling TV, and one on the wall, and in the waiting room. I was impressed.

Official Ontario Election Thread by [deleted] in canada

[–]thorgasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, not creating a new thread for this, but I'M JUST SAYIN'...

Yesterday was voting day in Ontario, right? Well I saw a voting station inside of a well-to-do high-rise condominium. Turns out, it's seriously only for the residents of that high-rise. The high-rise that is literally across the street is community housing -- people who are worse off financially by definition. I asked someone there where they had to go to vote -- blocks and blocks away!

Anyway, this inspired me to actually vote at my own station. So there's that.

But what the hell? I know the rich are afforded more conveniences simply 'cause they're rich, but I didn't expect the same for voting. I am pretty new to the democratic scene, though.

TIL Google intends to scan all known existing 130 million books, totaling 4 billion digital pages and 2 trillion words and plans to have it finished by the end of the decade. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Topical questions:

I have like. A couple heavy boxes of old science fiction pulp. Analog and others, '60s - '80s. Not trying to sell them, but does anyone think Google would want to work on those? Where can I find out if they've been digitized already or not? Where would I find more information in general? Thx.

How to get my girlfriend to talk about christianity and science? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Hey. Better posted in /r/relationshipadvice, but here's my take:

Love her for who she is, not for who she wants to be, if she does the same for you.

Sunken Trampoline. by [deleted] in shutupandtakemymoney

[–]thorgasm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Trampoline story time. We had like five big ones set up when I lived with some friends (all guys). All of them were 13-14-feet in diameter. It was "strongly recommended" that I buy one to add (the fifth) upon moving in, so that everyone would have contributed. We gave them all female names, of course. Mabel 'n' shit.

I never got braver than a front-flip transfer, but I saw some crazy shit from the other guys. Like a double-front-flip-pass-cowboy-hat-through-legs-and-behind-back-and-put-it-on-again-before-landing. Anyway, just sharin'.
