Legit? Theres been several incidences worldwide of people driving cars into crowds of people and I dont want to get accused of domestic terrorism or have to beat a bunch of public endangerment charges in court.

I mean its 3 MILLION DOLLARS! but its also only 3 million dollars. If I have to replace the bus stop, pay a bunch of lawyer fees, have my licence revoked for a year or two, possibly have charges on my record that would make it hard to get a job… Its “life just got a lot easier” money but not quite “Set for life”

I second the general recommendations of Vans or converse but IMO if you’re also going to be on your feet all day wearing them the thin soles does get old fast. I wear my crossfit shoes most of the time and they are really good driving shoes because they tend more towards flat soles and unobtusive tread but still pretty good cushioning.

I like the White Men Cant Jump remake.

I actually think that theres some movies that SHOULD be remade every 15 to 20 years. I would watch Major League if it was remade every 5 to 10 years. New city, new cast, new jokes, new location, callbacks, subverting expectations… but same premise a shitty baseball team needs to get better or else. Give young up and coming actors an excuse to have fun, ham it up, play a wacky character.

Hell make it a punishment for being the statistically worst team for the season that they make it. “Sorry Boston but… you really ate shit this year…”

Go on facebook marketplace, buy cheapest car near me that runs rhe have “car accident” in the wee hours.

The secret is to give up on having time for yourself and find the zen in the things you have to do anyway.

You ever wonder why dads tend to become all about their yard, their bbq and DIY? Because if I have to mow the fucking lawn, feed my family and fix shit all the fucking time I might as well find the satisfaction in a job well done.

They are.

A 600lb person walking a mile burns significantly more calories than a 200lb person doing the same thing. Im 200lbs and I can back squat 300lbs, a 600lb person squatting down and standing back up is moving more weight than I am… If they can manage it.

Volunteers are a double edged sword. At some volume of users and content it either needs to be a huge team of like minded volunteers which increases the likelihood of ye power tripping bastards or someone who is paid to do it and spend the time with rules to follow.

Damn right, I’m only on Lemmy because there isnt a better alternative, not because its great.

The sad fact is that for social media to not suck you need moderation, for moderation not to suck they need to be paid mods, which means it has to make money somehow, which either means adds, subscriptions or mining user data…

Watch for the enormous shit eating grin behind the microphone when he says “Hey Drake” on stage.

The “fall” is comparable not the magnitude of what they did, mostly because Cosbys shit mostly came out 20 years after he stopped being culturally relevant.

Oh very much so, but when someone with his means and access to treatment options keeps going off the deep end and ranting about Jews and how some black people must have wanted slavery. It reduces my sympathy.

I live in Australia and I theoretically love guns. I love them from an engineering and design point of view. Going shooting inanimate objects and making a skill based sport out of it looks like enormous fun. But my country has very strict gun control laws so owning one isnt worth the headaches.

But then I’m at the 24hr supermarket near the sketchy neighbourhood and the junkie is screaming at the cashier about something and I am so fucking happy that the likelihood of that guy having a gun is next to zero that I think “Yep, I’ll take that trade”

Cosbys fall came so long after he left the spotlight, for younger people the connection isnt there.

Kanye is definitely up there. Because I hate so much about what Kanye has turned into… his music is just so, so fucking good. For all his personality faults (Or diagnoses… I dont think we will ever know for certain) the man is a musical genius.

Bill would piss both sides off so much. I feel like everyone would hate him but things would get better.

Hey dont worry, a few times a year you get to look at clouds coming in, the wind pick up alarmingly and get to experience “Am I going to have a house in 3 hours?” Anxiety.

They were kind of right and really wrong.

Im 40 and married now… remember how nervous tou were just trying to talk to someone you had a crush on? That level of “Powerline up the ass” intensity of feelings?

Yeah these days, firstly if I’m ever single again shit has gone seriously sideways… But I could without a sense of trepidation walk up to Charlize Theron in a coffee shop, tell her how amazing she was in Aeon flux, ask her how she got involved in executive producing Hyperdrive for netflix and then ask her if she would like to grab dinner sometime. Because these days you have to really go some lengths to get a rise out of me.

You really dont.

At the point where he is leaving, unarmed and off the property. You’re pretty much 100% in the wrong and in this day and age catching an assault charge means you’re disadvantaged heavily for the rest of your adult life.

You let a petty theif get away with some petty shit for your own good.

Even facebooks gotten way worse of late, no matter how much I block, hide and say “Show me less of this content” every day or so its like “are you SURE you dont want to see jokes about how woke culture is to blame for everything?”

And Ive been saying this for about a decade but I kept getting told that they are idiots and man-children and couldnt possibly be caipable of something that complex.

And here we are.
