Samuringa posted:https://twitter.com/TheAVClub/status/989974746350673920 Reading the article, not surprised at all this was in Elgin. Never underestimate how pissy and petty people can be in the suburbs. I once had the cops called on me when I dressed up as Alice Cooper for Halloween and was sitting out on my front stoop handing out candy claiming I was doing some devil stuff out front. I had an idea who it was and if I wasn't in my knockoff straightjacket, I would've flipped her the Dio horns.

Sex Hobbit posted:Oh now I need to know which one, because I went to high school in Naperville and our school cop was an enormous bitch who loved nothing more than screaming obscenities at people and smugly hollering about how she "[didn't] like people standing on [her] GUN SIDE." I haven't been back in over a decade or more easy so I don't know how it is now, but Maywood.

Doesn't surprise me. I remember going with my Mom to the Entenmann's Bakery when they'd have half price day and I could envision those little grannie ladies packing the store so worked up they'd be ready to powerbomb a wrestler over the last coffee cake on the shelf.

Aesop Poprock posted:Yeah I mean Japan is weird about Nazis and kind of fetishes them and even if they’re viewed as badguys in stuff like Full Metal Alchemist teenagers are just going to adopt it because badguys are cool and they don’t really know much about the holocaust. I don’t really blame the kids, I was dumb as hell as a young teenager and edgy stuff appealed to me although I was fully aware of how bad Nazis were from 6th grade on because we had a wonderful frail old Jewish lady who survived a concentration camp come to talk to us at an assembly and I don’t think there are many of those left to directly engage students While I understand how stupid we can all be when we were teenagers, then you also get the people who are just willfully stupid. At a past job I had, we had one of the younger guys show up wearing a Che shirt who couldn't understand why the Cubans we worked with were giving him the cold shoulder. Even after explaining to him that the Revolution wasn't seen as a good thing for many Cubans and in the case of one of our co-workers, only her and an Aunt were the only survivors of their large family as the rest were all butchered by Che, he still couldn't wrap his mind around anything other than revolutionaries = good.

Der Kyhe posted:So basically what you saw was one of the Internet communists, but in real life. At the time this happened, Internet communists didn't seem so visible so this was my first time encountering someone like this. He also insisted he was a Libertarian and couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't be a Libertarian. When he eventually got fired for attendance issues because he developed a WoW addiction, it was a relief.

chitoryu12 posted:There's been a lot of studies done trying to figure out why New Coke failed. Coca-Cola had done blind taste tests that had it consistently beat classic Coke and Pepsi, so they figured it would be a slam dunk. From what I remember, it was too sweet and not all that different from Pepsi which I also don't like for being too sweet. Only good that came out of New Coke was I found I liked RC Cola.

The Bloop posted:Diet Coke is the only soda I really enjoy, with mountain dew throwback coming in a distant second. I only drink diet soda when I do drink soda. For me regular soda and the 'zero' style ones leave me with a filmy sugar mouthfeel that standard diet just doesn't. I've never liked Mt. Dew and the only diet soda I really disliked was Tab. But Diet Coke, Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet RC are all fine with me.

Zereth posted:I saw an article somewhere claiming that, yeah, they frequently don't even not gently caress up the primitive and probably grossly inadequate techniques we have right now. During the initial freezing stage, that is. That's only part of the shitshow that's cryonics. Even if they do get the remains frozen, they can still gently caress things up. It's been a while since I last went reading, but facilities have had freezer failures and bodies go missing.

chitoryu12 posted:What life as a typical person was like is actually hard to really know in many cases! With mass illiteracy and only the wealthy and powerful (and the people who worked for them) learning how to read and write, most of the surviving written record for thousands of years has to do with the literate classes. I don't think it's until the 17th or 18th century where literacy in Europe and the Americas starts becoming common enough that journals from regular people who aren't of the middle and upper class survive for the historical record. There's a lot of unanswered questions about just basic facts of life. Going from the graffiti at Pompei, we still tend towards particular swears and insults.

Scathach posted:I'm a nonsmoker and still think that's lovely as gently caress. Let people do what they want with their bodies. Jesus. This whole moral poo poo against tobacco is getting nuts. By popular demand posted:There will come a day when health insurance providers would straight up give you a list of demands for lifestyle optimization as an ultimatum. For disclosure purposes, I am a smoker. From watching how the anti-smoking campaign's evolved over the decades, while it started out being a concern over health, it's shifted to be more about control. Just look at how things have shifted from the perfectly reasonable points of no smoking in public buildings to only smoking in designated areas outside to this no nicotine at all position to also include vaping. I wish I could remember where I saw the interview, but an anti-smoking activist was asked what would she do once there was no more smoking and she was ready to start policing people's diets. Of course no one's going to mind the lesson of Prohibition in if enough people want to indulge in an unhealthy vice, they're going to do it. I can definitely see America slipping into the 'live this way or face these penalties' much like most of the countries with some form of NHS going that route to cut down on how slammed the service is.

Johnny Aztec posted:If that is really a 22 yr old posing as a child, then she is really not very bright. I mean, whats the end game here? You scam some free meals and whatnot for a while. It has happened where an adult pretends to be a teenager. It turns out they endured abuse which has them trying to relive what their teen years could've been without the abuse as a coping mechanism. With this case, there's still too many questions like why the previous adoptive parents were giving her up and why are there different results from the bone density tests. It should make the eventual true crime novel on this an interesting read.

Blue Footed Booby posted:I'm no expert but could it be that conditions that affect how limbs grow can affect bone density? Maybe one test accounted for that and the other didn't. I'm not an expert either. It could possibly be something genetic, could be what labs the tests were done at, could even be with what time's passed that what tests get done changed. Looking at her pictures, I honestly can't tell since the angles make it difficult for me.

I'm wondering if that's the same vegan guy who'd get posted here in the Internet Weirdos and AUG threads. He had one creepy video where he went on about 'vegan ladies lovely labias' and demonstrated how he would go down on them. That's pretty accurate. According to my Intro to Archaeology professors, if you weren't sure what an artifact was, claim it was a ritual item until proven otherwise.

Knormal posted:Paradise couple claims Camp Fire destroyed their $280 million emerald. PG&E wants proof This made me go look up if gemstones can burn because I've never heard of such a thing. Apparently they can depending on the impurities in the stone and the harder the stone the hotter the temperature has to be. Emeralds apparently turn into phenacite when burned. Hopefully some knowledgeable in gemstones goon could confirm or give more detail on this.

Tunicate posted:generally less burn and more explode into dust due to uneven heating and internal stresses I asked over there and at the right temperature an emerald will turn to white ash. For something like the stone described in the links, it's an interlocking combination of differing minerals with varying heat points so what parts didn't go to ash are ruined from the soot. Gemstone thread is calling bullshit on the valuation claimed. Reading the article, I really wonder what sort of security system did they have in place? I know they make it look all high tech in the movies and that movies lie, but I think there's better security at the call center jobs I've had.
