Wow, did not expect this.

Could criticise for being too on the nose but I think being blunt is exactly what we need right now.

Still, sounds like Depeche Mode hired Muse (who are obviously influenced by Depeche Mode) to write a modern song?

Either way, good job. (and excellent pick poolcleaner!)

Yup, that's exactly how ads should be.

If your product is better or offers unique benefits, then by all means tell us; but don't tell some almost entirely unrelated story about some kid who stayed up all night wrapping presents for his mum because GIVE US YOUR MONEY.

If, on the other hand, you do want to convey a message or story - become a writer, filmmaker, painter, poet.

Eh no. Somehow Trump managed to put in a performance that got him booed at a roast for poor taste.

It wasn't that his delivery sucked, it was that he had no punchlines and was barely telling any actual jokes.

It was like Ann Coultier, but in reverse.

They missed F1 World Grand Prix for the N64 in 1998. I remember doing a 3 hour race on Magny-Cours, and wiping out on the Lycee Pin.

The extreme case I thought of here wasn't about the balloon, it was about the air. Imagine the air was a lot denser... like water, or jelly.

I wasn't familiar with the term 'extreme cases' but use this all the time when making logical arguments, and think of it as exaggeration to help illustrate a point.

Unfortunately, while I think it makes it easier for me to visualize the point, people are often blinded by the comical nature of the exaggeration

"What do you mean if there were 10 zillion Chinese people on the island of Malta and 3 Brits had the Americas to themselves? The world should still learn English!"

(Someone trying to argue that even if Chinese was predominant, English would still be used in a larger geographical area, and me attempting to use exaggeration to illustrate that it's besides the point).

There is a scheme in the UK for anyone to become self employed by becoming authorized sellers of The Big Issue; a topical magazine about social and political issues.

Vendors pay for the magazines and sell them; taking half of the revenue.

The company pays some of their profits to a charity subdivision that helps the homeless and those in poverty.

Sagemind and artician's comments are also in reference to Goodfellas.

Rather than tell you why it's relevant you should stop reading this sift before someone spoils it for you, and go watch one of the greatest movies ever made

You're talking like someone who's never seen Goodfellas.

Then she forgot to pay.

00:51 Littering.

Silly policeman missed it.

As it feels a bit strange siding with the cop on this one, lemme stretch.

The dozens/hundreds of other cops who use unnecessary force will only contribute to situations where citizens have apparently little to no respect for the police in general - as appears to be the case here.

You leave someone with no choice... then they have no choice.

Also humans haven't found a way to populate the oceans yet.
