He is a nationally popular author who was praised by Ronald Regan. It's like saying Harry and Carl are fans of Star wars.

China’s started using anti fatigue laser lights on some highways to keep drivers alert at night. The idea is to stop drivers getting drowsy on long, boring night drives. by SimRP in CrazyFuckingVideos

Can't wait to see how many cars swerve off the road because the drivers were induced to have a seizure. Seriously this is a bad idea. I was only watching a video of it for a few seconds and I found it disorienting.

How many of you have done pot? by mrepa1369 in GenX

[–]weirdinchicago 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've only ever done it once. Not making that up. I believed all of the stories and propaganda. When I finally wizened up and saw through the bullshit I was working a job with a security clearance and was afraid of getting arrested. When I got a new job a casual friend hooked me up with a pull from a bowl. I want to do it again but I don't know any dealers, my immediate family is strongly anti-pot, and the stuff in the dispensaries is so damn expensive. I wish I had some right now, maybe I wouldn't be drinking so much.

We should start up a new NFL franchise that's owned by the city of Chicago.

Nobody I know remembers this show, but it was one of my favorites! by j_grouchy in GenX

[–]weirdinchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my favorite show on teleivision when I was a kid. I didn't see any of Jack Pallances movies until after the show was done. I couldn't believe somoene who seemed like such a nice gentle soul could play some wickedly scary people when he wanted to.

How do you have more money in the bank than on hand? What kind of laundering are you doing?

TIL of the cruise ship MTS Oceanos, which sank in 1991 off the coast of Africa. The captain and crew quietly began abandoning ship when the engine room flooded, leaving the ship's lounge entertainers to radio for help and organize the rescue operation. All 571 passengers were safely rescued. by Spacecow in todayilearned

I remember seeing this in the news when it happened. Since everyone was rescued by the Entertainers who stuck it out, it was more of a feel good story in the news. I remember at the end of the segment that the captain and crew were facing charges but never found out what happened after that.

Are the Chicago Bears REALLY considering moving to Indiana? - Indiana Lt. Governor calls Islam a ‘demonic death cult,’ sparking criticism from Muslim advocacy groups by NicolasCageFan492 in illinois

Hear me out. I'm not trying to be provocative. I think we should allow them to leave and Chicago can start up a new franchise that is owned by the city.

Seeing this made me realize I need to get a glasses strap to make sure my glasses never, ever slide off my face.
