$1 to $1,000 Pizza in Times Square
The $1k pie is just a low-class parody of fine dining - 'let's throw the most expensive shit we can find into a pile and eat it,' which coincidentally is the exact thinking of a monumentally hung over 16-year old with billionaire parents.
Still, I wish these two pizza places existed in my town. Not because I would want to eat at either of them, but because I want to explore the range of options the market would hopefully fill the space between the extremes with. There might be a time, let's say once a year or so, that I want to try a pizza that costs and is worth $50-$60. I kind of wish I had that option.
Also I want a place that serves pizza made from real pokemon.
Real Life Mirror's Edge Time-trial
HONESTLY, I wonder how people register this sort of thing as real life, it is clear as day and night to me that this is a game, not real, generated image... I am not sure what phrase to use to express how not real this is, it is real in the sense a computer made it and processed it and displayed it and such but that is not a human leg you are looking at, not real bricks or sandstone or monuments or whatnot....
The Daily Show - Wack Flag
I dont know of any country other than Germany or Austria were the term "never again" is given that monumental weight in education.. saying that ww2 is largely glossed over in shools is so wrong it actually hurts...
I know that the Nazi flag and other imagery are outright banned / censored in Germany. From what I understand, WW2 history taught in schools in Germany is handled very carefully, if not largely glossed over.
Don't ever point a gun at something you don't want to kill
If there was, then it's an even more monumental engineering fail.
As a core principle, mechanisms should "fail safe". So something that needed to be tightened/removed should prevent the gun from firing at all.
I wonder if there's something you need to remove and/or tighten after shipping that wasn't performed. Kinda like those "remove before installation" pins on older car CD players.
Conservative Christian mom attempts to disprove evolution
In fact, you should really publish your findings in a peer-reviewed journal. If they are correct (and not, as I suspect, complete bollocks), it will be a revelation! There's almost certainly a Nobel prize in it for you.
Sweet. You've accepted the evidence for evolution. "Macroevolution" is just lots of "microevolution". Why are we discussing this?
You've abandoned science at this point. I could equally say that speciation is caused by invisible pink unicorns or the Flying Spaghetti Monster (praise his noodly appendages), but none of it is testable and therefore, it's non-scientific.
Besides, the existing theory explains everything pretty well.
That is quite simply untrue. It is lies, falsehood, fiction, fabrication, myth, deceit, distortion and misinformation. In short, it's bullshit.
There is no credible evidence for a young earth. Zero, zip, nada.
At this point, you would have to either monumentally stupid or willfully ignorant to believe in it.
lots of nonsense
Jon Stewart's "Rosewater" Trailer
Another video popped up with Kristen Stewart in it about camp x-ray after watching this one. The context might have been wrong, but i can understand why @billpayer said that - it's a terrible, terrible thing of which he speaks and it can feel frustrating when you care about those things but it seems to you like most forms of mainstream media only tell a certain side.
It is frustrating, and i doubt many people disagree with you that it's a monumental injustice, but the other side of the story does get told.. and i think the noticeable weighting is indicative of what the majority of people "want" to hear/believe rather than a calculated move to revise history (i.e. more cinema tickets will be sold by a movie in which a westerner overcomes perceived terrorism than one in which a light is shone on the possible human rights violations and illegal internment of innocent victims of the west's war on terror).
I was surprised by the 'kstew' trailer, looked ....intelligent and thoughtful?

Happy Birthday, Warren.
May the force be with you this monumentous day.
Driving in North Korea
It looks surprisingly neat and tidy. The tour, being authorized, was probably directed just so to show the nicest face of the city: morning rush hour so it looks like there's traffic, not too hot, only the most monument-studded roads, avoiding the slums and whatnot.
"Desert Breath" | Land Art Installation | By D.A.ST. Arteam
Also in Africa, in the remote deserts of Niger and a bit over 1000 kms away, is another desert sculpture. The monument to Flight 772 was designed to be visible from overhead, from passing aeroplanes, and is also visible in Google Maps at 16°51′53.748″N 11°57′13.362″E.

Really...a 13 year old girl...got to be kidding....
Low, sleazy, and slimy...schmarmy, even for ....
...and monumentally clueless besides....
This is unworthy of "private" status.
Hey dude, I was wanting to find that girl you banned the other day for gross violations that was singing the Beatles tune 'Yesterday' but couldn't find her on YT when I went to look again because you had banned her too fast-Would you be so kind as to link me to that YT page, or at least give me some tags to go off of??
dr richard wolff-how class works
Seems a logical next-step to fastidiously render the 'really tiny minority in our society' into dog food. The 'elite' are a cancer: Irradiate them, excise them, and place their offspring in the prisons they've built for us.
To these unseen perpetrators of the destruction of the planet and the souls and spirits of us regular folks should be delivered a message for future generations in the form of say, a monument. Yes, a monument similar to the wall of names of the fallen in wars (lest we forget)-
Here includes the names of all the wealthiest families the fascist human refuse that they are, their offspring, their legacy of anti-creation, anti-humanity, anti-life-
These people need to be annihilated, and the memory of their existence forever burned into the collective unconscious.
Destroy the fruits of their crimes and most importantly, end their bloodlines. Bury them, burn them, kill them all.
Otherwise, the planets' fucked.
The Real News: Chris Hedges on The Pathology of the Rich
I'm no fan of Bush obviously, but the guy needs to tone down his hatred of Bush. It kinda undercuts his otherwise accurate message. He keeps talking about the contempt the rich has for the poor. Well...he's displaying that same contempt.
They keep referring to things like revolution and "coming storms" I don't think that's how change is going to occur. Back when people were ACTUAL slaves or maybe they were free but were starving to death. They pretty much had nothing to lose so I think it was actually easier for them to commit to change by violent means.
well...things are different now. We're not physical slaves, but you can argue that we're economic slaves. Even poor people usually aren't starving. food is cheap, at least shitty food is. It's a sort of gilded cage. So it's harder to get to that tipping point of committing to a "revolution"
I think he's wrong though, I think change will occur through democracy. It's just going to be extremely slow, extremely painful, and it's going to be a lot of setbacks along the way. I think there will be a lot of moments that will generate outrage. I just don't think there will ever be revolts as this guy describes unless the vote gets taken away and things get monumentally worse.
I just don't there will be any magic shortcuts to a fair and equitable society. Even if there was a revolt. what do the revolutionaries do to make things better? It's relatively easy to revolt, but if you win, then the real work begins. It's easy being an armchair general, but when you actually do have to make decisions that affect thousands, if not millions of people, It's not that easy.
I think the key thing is that there are just too many who don't actually agree with the founding fathers "that all men are created equal" If we actually believed in that idea. A lot of these injustices would not occur.
TDS: Minimum wage hike and the Pope denouncing Trickle Down
I believe people should be paid according to the bullshit they have to suffer from idiots who make the simple pleasures and obligations of life, a monumental, ass-burning chore.
So, I figure I'm worth about $200 U.S.D. per day, double-time on weekends.
Consumer island - by Emiel Stevenhagen
Sick, twisted, and 100% allegorically correct.
Can't wait to see what the entire population inside the D.C. beltway tastes after about 3 weeks in a massive smokehouse. We could convert the Washington Monument into a smoker, the nation should start taking bids for the renovation immediately.
Idiots Topple a 20 Million Year Old Rock Formation
Please please prosecute these morons and charge them a debilitating fine for destruction of a public monument. I'm fairly certain at the entrances to the park there are clearly posted instructions (satisfying artician's suggestion for a 'sign') to leave the rocks alone and hike at your own risk. If people want to take a picture in a dangerous spot, that's up to them, not Mr Douchebag. Now no one ever has that option ever again.
I guess they are too dumb to realize that the balanced formations are what people go to the park to see. Dumb is not an excuse for destruction.
Prosecute...harshly and publicly as an example to others.
