*sticky for 24 hours, just to make everyone (hopefully) smile.

MrFisk cannot sticky this post because MrFisk does not have enough Power Points. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)

Before watching this I know that Jim Norton is going to be right but be bad at making his points. The comedian they should've had was Louis CK, he's awesome.

Louis CK had a very good point in response to a Jim Norton joke actually. When you perform at a club you're performing in front of a group of people. You don't have time to take a survey and check what these people have been through, or what hotbutton issues they would have problems with. Everyone is different, for example my mom was murdered in a very not nice way, but my friends made jokes about her being dead all my life, it wasn't a big deal to me and I can separate my love for her and my love of a good joke. However I wouldn't expect that for everyone, some people wouldn't be ok with a joke about their mom being dead even if theirs is still alive. I think you can do what you do when you're watching TV, change the channel or remove yourself from that situation. You can face it if you want to and work through issues, and sometimes comedy can really help that by taking you to a dark place and making you laugh there. It's just we're humans, sticky soft disgusting humans.

Not exactly a parachute failure, more of a parachutist failure in a sticky situation... he's fortunate it wasn't worse. He says he hit the ground

with enough force to 1. make an 8 inch divot in the ground with my feet, (which hit first) 2. Make a 3 inch divot with my arse (which hit second) and 3. knock my camera helmet off my head and smash my Cx12 off it's flatlock mount, tearing the guts out of the camera. I bounced up about 6 feet and forward about 10 feet and ended up on my chest (cracking my sternum and breaking 3 ribs).

It's not really a roundup, they're just sticky beaks.

Cool idea and execution for a video -- nice sift!

I'm an American living in Thailand for the past 6 years. Thai food is cheap and good, but stuff like Western fast food (for example the Big Mac in the video) is probably near double US prices here. But as long as you're happy with Thai food, you can get a plate of average-to-good quality Thai fare for roughly 60 cents (more in Bangkok). Beats the crap out of stuff like the "dollar menu" back home.

One more thing -- I wonder if the price of rice was comparing the same variety of rice in each country, or just comparing the most commonly consumed variety for each location. Thailand exports a lot of sticky rice ("glutinous rice", but not from gluten) to Japan -- they love it there and pay a large premium for it over "normal" rice varieties. Maybe that accounts for the video noting that rice is expensive in Japan?

Now that's what I call a sticky situation.

We have tried that, and also tried getting them to choose which old ones they don't like to get rid of before getting new toys at Christmas. The occasional toy has just been "lost" before the kids could get attached to it, if we weren't as keen on it as the person giving it... oops, did I say that out loud?

My wife did make the mistake of leaving the bag of old stuff to donate out where sticky beaked children could have a look inside, and then we had a very teary child who was devastated that his old slippers (that no longer fit!!!) were going to be donated... so beware!

That's actually what I found the most depressing.... all the happy faces and chirpiness. It is a layer of false smiles on top of homophobia and rejection. And this guy is buying into it, with his own layer of chirpiness, smiling as he talks about his loneliness.

One thing about egregiously awful behavior -- it is easier to break free from it. This guy is in danger of drowning in a pool of niceness.

Sticky and awful.

I am counting on God to tell the head of the Mormon church that it is okay to be gay, just as "he" told a prior president that it is okay to be black. As soon as the church starts losing members and revenue, I have no doubt God will suddenly speak up.

It's okay I got your back. *sticky

Stickying this post at the top of Sift Talk - sticky requested by Lann.

I don't think I can *frontpage this, but I can try to *sticky it for a while.

My ideals include a society where this sort of thing is much less likely, if not impossible.
That is not politically motivated, that is motivated by compassion for the people and world around me.

If you want to talk bring up the 'gun control bandwagon', now that's political. That is the gun lobby's wet dream cum to sticky fruition. The only thing that sells guns better than picatinny rails and fear of crime/zombies, is fear that someone is going to tell us that we can't play with guns anymore.
Which one of us has been whipped-up into a a blind, frothy, swearing rage here?
Which one of us is a lap dog?

Comedy aside, the reason this works so well is because the cat does not associate the negative with you.

If you scream at the cat or swat it away every time it jumps on the counter, it will learn not to go on the counter when you're around.

If you put down foil or masking tape (sticky side up), the cat will learn that the counter is an unpleasant place to be and will no longer desire to go there.

....Weelll, I feel like punching the shitty interviewerHe was quite polite about kicking the dead-horse but he did keep hammering the fucking issue ad-nauseum. I thought his interviewing skills on par with Fred Rodgers when he used to ask professionals in his "neighborhood" about their jobs...."Well Mr. Baker, how do we get all those tasty rolls from this sticky dough, into this happy little gravy-biscuit?"

This interviewer ranks well-below rank amateur. To rephrase, he's a fucking idiot in an ugly suit.
