Reddit ripped this piece to shreds, well I mean /r/trees.

Either she is an idiot, or her editors are idiots.

THC is a Cannabinoid. She was taking pure THC, and Cannabinoid. What the fuck does that mean?

Perhaps she meant Cannabidiol. Either way this piece is utter shit.

I've never seen this before today... interesting, I say.

Cop should have gone 10-78 and then deployed a tazer, once, after he should have realized that the guy did not pose serious bodily harm. But no, he pulled his gun, which in my mind is much worse than the tazing at the end.

I was always under the impression that the officer should issue a lawful order to drop a weapon before using lethal force; Which means a perpetrator must present lethal force before an officer can lawfully use lethal force. The force continuum etc etc. I guess that has changed they go straight to lethal force. Some jackass getting out of a car being upset isn't life threatening.

Furthermore the excuse that it's dangerous, is a cop out, they know what they're getting into when they put on that badge, and gun. If they don't then they shouldn't be police officers. Using fear as an excuse to make rash decisions is dangerous, it endangers the lives of fellow officers and the public.

Furthermost, just because they're cops doesn't ever mean they should be given leniency in any case, no matter how right they were to use force. They police the people and as such should be held to the highest standard of justice, which is clearly not the case in the United States, citation? Heh, take a look the failed war on drugs.

What kind of car/space shuttle is that?


It's a funny car. Which is basically a top fuel car inside of a "fake" shell. it's just a dragster with a shell on the outside of it. That shell does nothing to protect anyone, which is why the driver is sitting in that cage all back of the bus like. Whenever these things crash the only thing left is the damn roll cage.

Also that thing he hits near the end of the video is the chute release, I think. That seems most likely cause the car jolts as the chutes catch air.

I read it as... Norwegian Leroy too..

Bah. He wouldn't have died instantly. It didn't even look like the sword went through the jaw entirely.

Out... of they're fucking minds.

Interesting enough is that the mouse spider (Missulena) looks very similar to Hexathelidae.

United States Funnel weavers: Araneomorph is the most common funnel weaver in the United States, I think.

What's even more interesting is that there isn't a single (known) species of Hexathelidae indigenous to the United States, as far as I can tell from wikipedia. But there's plenty of Latrodectus all over, it's interesting the dispersion of the different spider species.

You got hobbling right? We shall hobbit people.

But there's the risk of one or both parties crying foul. There's also the risk of moderator mis-use Reddit style.

See the creation of /r/trees, and the close destruction of /r/starcraft.

Not saying you don't have to do something, but you'll never get away from the drama. You just replace one sort of drama with another sort of drama. Which one is worse?

Granted moderator misuse would probably happen less often then comment abuse, it would have much more impact on the community as a whole, as tyranny always does. So in a way transferring the responsibility to the user base is going to gut you're workload, in a good way and insure that the comments get a good seeing too, but the problems that arise have a chance to blow up into a community rupturing event.

What I mean to say, is that what starts out as a way to control asshat comments can turn into a way for users with a vendetta to destroy those they don't agree with, or those they don't "like".

The worst kind of tyranny is the kind where the rules creep. Rules are laid down in good interest and then are enforced differently than they were written. Kinda like Feature Creep but worse.

Eh, but I'm pretty indifferent to what the community decides mostly because I treat the internet as I would my cat. I feed it, I pet it, and I love it, but at the end of the day I just let it do whatever the fuck it wants to do.


PS: I haven't got anytime to edit my comment for spelling and grammar. If I derped it up, then herp derp.

smivehundered smillion.

Sigh...

Jebus christ. I mean, seriously, they should have layed off the big macs back in school. America, you need to run your ass around the block a few times.

As someone who is currently (perennially) trying to lose weight, I wish it was something as simple as running around the block a few times. I trained for a marathon two years ago and simply stopped losing weight during the process. I remained 30 lbs above my goal weight, and ran (and finished) the marathon like that. For people who are not naturally lean, it is the difficult (near impossible) combination of proper exercise with proper diet that causes them to often simply give up. It also an unhappy truth that the cheapest food is the least healthy, so poor people are much more likely to be malnourished into obesity.
As to the video, in this particular case, laughing is totally appropriate. But when it's a fat person by themselves, I am usually just saddened. And I always remember that phrase, "Are you riding a scooter because you're fat, or fat because you are riding a scooter?"


As polarizing as Nutrition Science is, (Whatever the fuck that means), there are three keys to losing weight. Diet, Weightlifting (or whatever muscle working exercise you do), and Cardio.

I'm not a PHD in whatever Nutritionists get PHDs in. But I do know that the best way to burn fat, over time, is getting you're Basal Rate Metabolism up. The best way to do that is to eat less more often.

The next best thing is to work the large muscle groups on your body. You don't have to be a body builder, but you want those muscles to work.

The last important thing on the fat burning trifecta is cardio. 20 minutes a day, or 30 minutes a day depending on what kind of cardio you do. I skip a day because of high impact running, and lifting.

The last thing you should always remember? You won't lose 20 pounds in a period of 2 weeks. You probably won't lose 5 pounds in a week. I went from about 270 to 255 in a year; with just cardio (boxing and running). I went from 255 to 243 in 3 months with diet, weight lifting, and cardio.

The trick is to cut all the excess fat. Then when it starts to get hard to lose weight you know you're actually making progress.

The reason you didn't lose weight when training for a marathon is because you were training for a marathon, not to lose weight. What I mean to say is that, most likely, you're body was storing up energy for the marathon.

In short three things: Diet, (Not going on a diet, but how and what you eat), Muscle Exercise, and Cardio.

Mein gott. I have a fear of being over 250 pounds again, and I'm not obese. After seeing this I'm going to run 5 marathons in one week. Shit is fucking scary.

Tweeting your junk is stupid. That's the only bad part of it. Don't tweet your junk.
Other than that, I could care less. Not my business.


Don't tweet you're junk... where you can readily be identified.


With the current state of affairs in this country I couldn't give two fucks, shits, or whatever the fuck about any of this.

HAHAHAHAHAhah

I've watched this like 5 times... still makes me laugh.

Small little creeping, insiduous changes. Little prohibitions against little things. No dancing at national monuments, no burning old glory, apple pie must always be served with an American flag toothpick, and then slowly, slowly it becomes much safer to just stay home, watch Fox News on your jumbo Sony-tron and eat microwave burritos.

This is what paranoia looks like.


It doesn't matter how little the law is changed here and there.

If it's a bullshit law it should be challenged. This is the way Jefferson would have wanted it.

It's not paranoia. If anything it's democracy wearing a ball gag in the name of Justice and Tourism.
