Since legalization the local news has been doing scare stories about idiots who "accidentally" munch on some and need to be hospitalized because they did not realize what they were getting in for.

Funny stuff because you know it's at most a panic-attack but they keep mis-dosing or just somehow stumbling on their friends poo poo who apparently leave it out in a candy jar? Not quite sure how that works.

Edibles can be serious poo poo. I was given one and wasn't warned not to eat the entire brownie in one sitting. I ended up throwing up within 2 hours, and the intervening time (other than the growing nausea and headaches) just gave me the disassociation that my body was moving on autopilot and my brain was 30 seconds behind. My reflexes were still good enough that I could even catch things thrown at me, but it would take a while for my mind to realize what I had done.

What? They clearly said it's a 40 ounce bottle shaped like a gun, not that a Colt has 40 ounces.
I thought the joke was that they thought a 40 contains wine?

The bottle isn't shaped like a gun. Colt 45 is a brand of malt liquor, and the bottle resembles the malt liquor bottle. The writer assumed that "Colt 45" was referring to a gun instead.

According to the news article, the cops were worried about evidence being lost or washed away by rain after a murder before Forensics could arrive and improvised crime scene markers. There's also pics elsewhere of cops using Whataburger cups and take-out containers for the same purpose.

John Popper was in two weird Twitter wrangles this week; the lady who tried to fake her way onto the New York Times bestseller list was a manager for Blues Traveler at one point.

It's nice to see he's lost so much weight, I guess.

Yeah, I have a Let's Read thread for it. It's hilariously awful and features things like Carrot Top and Wayne Newton appearing to cheer on the protagonist (a self-insert of the author) in her magic show.

It also has extreme levels of creep because it started as a Wattpad fanfic back in 2013 about Jackson Rathbone (who played Jasper in Twilight) falling in love with her. It turns out she was the manager for his band, 100 Monkeys, and Handbook for Mortals still has a romantic interest named Jackson who lusts over how beautiful and awesome she is.

She also managed Plain White T's at some point, and faux-Jackson Rathbone is their singer in her book universe.

He's an interesting fellow, that's for sure. Dude was a WW2 combat Ace who's legs had been amputated because of hotdogging prior to the war's outbreak. He had regrettable political views, but did much for the handcapped and disabled after the war. He also had a reputation for extremely salty language.

When he was a POW in Germany:

Even funnier to me is that his right leg got caught in the wreckage and he fell out when the straps holding it on came off, and the Germans actually gave formal approval for the British to fly over and parachute a spare leg down to him.

Judging by the number of people who can't sit through a meal, let alone a movie, without constantly checking their drat phone, I think there's a problem out there.




I check mine a lot too, but I also have no problem going hours and hours without looking at it. Some people would lose their goddamn minds after 20 minutes.

I’m sitting in that weird position where I spent my entire childhood without a smartphone and didn’t get one until I reached adulthood, so I didn’t grow up with it but I’ve had one for more of my adulthood than not.

You know what I did when I didn’t have a smartphone? I carried a book and read it when I had nothing else to do. If I didn’t have one, I would probably be incredibly bored and have no more interest in making random small talk with people or staring at the environment than I already do. If I have my phone out while eating, it’s because I can’t think of anything to talk about and I would otherwise just be eating in silence.

Now that I have a smartphone, I can spend almost all of my downtime doing something. I keep up with my friends, stay on top of the news, read books and comics, do research, etc. I always have something that I’m doing instead of remaining static.

What’s so wrong about that?

Maybe nothing. I was the same re: book and smartphone. Eating alone or on break at work or whatever? Read away. I'm talking about eating a meal with friends, family, spouse etc not randos

Even when I’m at meals with them, I use my phone when I have nothing to talk about. Sometimes I use the things I pull up on social media or the Internet to have new things to talk about, but I wouldn’t be talking more if I didn’t have it.

We tried that a few times, putting our phones away or in the center of the table for a whole meal. All that ends up happening is people sitting and eating in silence exactly as much as before, just without a scapegoat to blame.

I think the review also got the plot wrong too

Reed previously reviewed Cabin in the Woods, where he apparently didn’t actually watch the movie and lost his mind partway through.

quote:

It’s all part of an elaborate video game that allows paying customers to watch real people slaughtered according to the horror of choice. The five kids in the cabin are innocent pawns to test the mechanics of the game, the way fiends in a horror movie test the sounds of screaming babies as they feed them to the jaws of mutated crocodiles.

AB owns like 100 different microbrew labels, Bud Light tastes the way it does because it sells too good to gently caress with.

At least at the level of marketing bros I have worked with, they are either actually excited about Bud Light, or are all incredible actors even when loaded.

Bud Light is popular because it’s generic and easy to drink. It doesn’t strongly taste of anything, so you can pound it back endlessly.

There’s definitely some nasty macro lagers though. The worst cheap beer I ever had was Sapporo.
