I worked at a gas station for years in a poor town and I bought and sold several used computers that sometimes ended up being stolen. I always did my best to make sure that didn’t happen. I’d check the personal info on the drives before I’d clear them and try to get up with the people who originally owned them. I probably returned at least 15 of them over the years.
It’s crazy to think that I could have ended up being charged with murder if I had been pulled over with some shit in my car.
One time I got a sob story, “I lost my job bro. You can get my Xbox 360, my tv, my laptop, and all these games right now for 100 bucks.” I lost that 100 bucks because I contacted the Xbox account and found that the stuff had all been stolen and I returned it. Imagine if someone had killed someone to get that stuff and I got pulled over with it.
They gave me a cheap guitar for returning it. They didn’t have to do that and I’ve always appreciated it. It’s risky being in a poor town and buying things for resell.
You talking about the Black Mirror episode?
I watched it a decade ago or something (can’t remember it), need to see it again. It’s 15 million merits though.
I’ll dig for it. Might have been bullshit but I definitely read it.
Who knows? Maybe I’ll end up being the face of bad women’s anatomy on Lemmy. :p
I’ll find it.
Ed won’t even know where to start with his wiener. You ever read that story about the lady who never got pregnant because her husband had been inserting himself into her urethra opening?
It isn’t. Florida needs pregnant teenagers who can’t get abortions so that they can use their children to sit on the coastline and pedal the land up out of the water. This is also where they will get their electricity. It also needs a constant supply of these children because they’ll have to replace them after every hurricane.
Everything I just typed is probably more likely to work than abstinence based sex ed is to prevent pregnancy and is just as scientifically valid as a sex ed class with no sex and no ed.
As a cockeyed person, it doesn’t bother me. People rarely say anything. Sometimes you can catch people being confused about which eye to look into but it’s brief.
I did have a kid say to me one time, “Wow, your eyes are like, seriously crossed!” I acted surprised and said, “Seriously? Oh my god! Do you think other people notice?” She felt bad about it and said, “No! No! It’s just where I was standing. I doubt anyone ever seen it.” :p
My eyes are nowhere near as bad as biggie’s though because my sweet mother got me surgery when I was 5 years old. I still thank her for it regularly.
Reeeeheeeeeeee. Pfffft. Excuse me, sorry about. I’m a horse after all.
Space Ghost Coast to Coast though.
It happened to my cousin awhile back with Photoshop. She’s a professional photographer and it shut her down for a few days. I found it pretty quickly and an update stopped it from happening. It wasn’t removing temporary files and totally filled her drive up.
Poor thing was ready to buy a new hard drive.
I really did think that a Chinese social media company would never stand a chance here. I run into 80 year old farmers who ask me, “Did you see ‘at feller on TikTok who does ‘at thang with the tractor?”
That same person will go on and on about China. People are neat.
Mike Tyson is more than a man. He could’ve entered the ring in a frilly pink skirt with a lollipop sticking out of his ass and he would have still been terrifying.
Being in school was wild when that happened. My school banned baggy pants over night and required us to carry clear backpacks. We weren’t allowed to carry more than the book we needed for the next class, and cameras went up.
I was overheard telling a friend (jokingly) that I was going to kill myself if I had to take another timed test. Police showed up soon after and handcuffed me. Some girl overheard me and swore I said I was going to kill other people. Luckily one of the officers was from my neighborhood and believed me, but I was still suspended and he drove me home.
You know what really sucks though? All these years later and people are still terrified. Last week I woke up a few minutes after my teenage daughter got on the bus, my wife said, “Maybe you should go get her. Someone has threatened to shoot up the school.” I drove over and got her, fortunately the officer guarding the door just let her leave with me and was understanding. A day later and another threat hits. Someone says they’re going to shoot up the pep rally. I didn’t send her to school. Two unexcused absences in one week at the beginning of the school year over that shit.
She did online school last year and it was a nightmare, but I’m all over the place on that right now. I want her to be able to make friends and things. It wasn’t healthy for her last year. I only did that because her mom had recently died and I wanted to give her a break from everything.
I guess some kids thought it would be funny to do that last week. I just wish no one had to take them seriously.
I swear, I was standing outside having a smoke and bitching to my wife about how your comment was driving me insane. “Babe, I’m thinking it was Tucker, but all I can come up with is Tucker Carlson and, well, we both know that isn’t…MAX. It’s fucking TUCKER MAX!!! That’s it! I know that’s it!”
Haha, I swear I was going insane. It was on the tip of my tongue.
The relief I felt, oh my god!
Went further than “made fun of him”. They legit called on people to harass him and threaten his girlfriend with rape.
I guess it depends on where you get your info. We’ll see what happens eventually.
TUCKER MAX! Holy shit this has been driving me crazy. It just came to me out of nowhere. That’s who wrote it. I could be wrong but I don’t think so. The level of relief I feel makes me confident enough to make this comment before I go digging.
Edit:
I can’t find the story, but we both have a good memory because it’s clear he built his career from that one.
All of them be trying to charge us to be alive. If my landlord could come up with a good enough reason to charge me to breathe, he’d put it on the invoice.
Watch the clip. If dude’s name had been Bob and not Nicky it wouldn’t have happened.
Still though, your point stands and it’s still one of the funniest, most awkward moments caught on video. :p
Oh I wouldn’t have even remembered anything about the title without googling what you said so you’re doing better than me. :p
