I have a family member who had to move back home in the mid 80’s, come out to their family (on a farm in rural NC), & ask for help because they had been diagnosed with HIV & couldn’t afford the medication.

Just the strength it took to return home, knowing the shame that was sure to follow, showed me I could come out to that same family.

Really hope this obit can help some of his family members accept themselves & find a better way forward.

It wasn’t critically praised, but the film did almost triple its budget with its box office gross.

I think that puts this film in the overrated hit film category.

It wasn’t critically praised, but it did almost triple its budget with its worldwide gross.

It also got a shit ton of attention for that stupid Puff Daddy song with Jimmy Page.

I’d say this film fits the thread perfectly, if you consider profit to be high praise.

But it’s ok to have a little fun when you do.

My mom & her brothers were arguing over family silverware. The older of my two uncles just took the silverware case & disappeared with it.

That year for Christmas, every immediate family received a custom made ring made from the melted silverware.

They’re not anything valuable. They look handmade & some of the pieces were outright ugly, but it worked.

We all still have that silverware & it means a lot to all of us.

To OP, completely understand you might not want jewelry made from a nazi knife, but maybe there’s an option to do something worthwhile while that melted metal, rather than just scrapping it?

If nothing else, you could encase a copy of mein kampf in the metal & have a fancy ass doorstop you can kick around.

“Is that a brick of silver holding your door open?”

“Nope. It’s a deactivated copy of that hitler book.”

What if he was preemptively planning his complaints? You know, studying flight paths, departures, & arrivals, then just delivering 57 unique complaints each day with one phone call?

“Look… I know Quantus 617 leaves for Houston at 5:45, the 974 at 3, 452 goes at 4:12, & the 889 heads out at 9pm.

Yep, that’s right.

Uh huh.

Yes I fucking know it’s only 8am. Those flights WILL be too loud & I expect you to take my complaints immediately!”

Nahme I’m zeezpert nonyku. Iz time takemetothe toilet

“You know you’re just the rudest man! The rudest man!”

I was at a party in college & a young lady was having a not so great night. She passed out, horked up what apparently looked like Alice Springs Chicken from Outback, & one of her sorority sisters had drawn a swastika on her forehead.

My roommate & I knew where she lived. So I went to grab puke-a-potomous, she went to get her car.

By the time I got back to puke-a-potomous on the couch, someone had turned the swastika into a very crudely drawn Windows logo.

Now I kinda wanna see some NaziPunk get pinned down at a concert, while someone converts his offensive tattoos into corporate logos.

Yep. If the department ignores a call, believing it’s a hoax, & it turns out not be?

Someone’s gonna shit the bed if that goes down.

WB has always had ties to HBO & has traditionally focused on showing WB content.

Discovery, Scripps, Time Warner & HBO were all tied up in the Discovery-AT&T merger.

HBO is now part of Warner Media, which is part of Warner Discovery.

No, didn’t hurt the mom. Baby & mom reunited after pics.

I’m right there with ya pal. Everyone thought I was gay growing up, but I liked boobs enough, I had a pair installed.

You should try it, they’re great!

“Get out back & motorboat Doris. If you’re not at least at half mast, no beer.”

I’m tempted to go in there as a trans woman & try to convince them to give me free beer because they think I’m a dude. Given that I like women, by their logic, that just makes me a straight guy dressed like a woman, ergo… FREE BEER!!!

The key word there is “was”. If your Bambi has entered a state of “was”, I think you might need a new one.

Speaking of which, I can help you with that if you’re in the market.

Not interested in hearing it? It’s all I’ve been asking for, that clarification.

You won’t clarify, but you’re the one who’s outraged. AMAZON BAD!!! Remember?

Go ahead, lay out a logical reason that explains why you would make such a drastic decision when you don’t have all the information.

YOH DON’T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION. FULL STOP.

IF YOU CAN MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION ON BOYCOTTING & ABANDONING YOUR BAND, WITHOUT ALL OF THE INFORMATION…

The please, by all means, poop out that magic answer. Share that magic shit with all of us.

Until you can, you’re being irresponsible.

And by the walls of text are because I’m sick of this shit. This blind outrage just clamoring for attention. It’s the same bullshit the right pulls.

YOU’RE PARTICIPATING IN CANCEL CULTURE WITHOUT REASON. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

You’ve made your private boycott public here in this thread, and so has everyone else. Problem is, none of you can articulate why you think the Foo Fighters deserve this. At least not thoroughly.

That tells me one of two things. You’re either just angry and unwilling to think this situation through, so you’ve jumped on the hate wagon with ½ a story & every intention of bringing other people with you.

Either that, or you’re in this thread pushing an agenda & trying to whip up a misguided fervor for reasons that don’t involve the Foo Fighters.

Either way, I see this as you publicly lambasting another public entity & you can’t or won’t explain why. That just reeks of mob mentality.

Also, don’t be obtuse. You know full & well what I mean about a private performance versus a public performance.

Musicians perform publicly, with tickets on sale, and you know… the public is present.

Musicians also perform privately, for a single payer, with no public tickets available.

Are you really going to fault the Foo Fighters because they did a private show? Why do YOU care?

You don’t get a say in how that band makes its money. And if they aren’t doing awful shit with that money, then I don’t really think you have a leg to stand on here.

They didn’t cancel a public show to do this performance. They didn’t turn down a charity event to my knowledge.

No, they took a private a gig & the only thing you know is that you don’t like who the gig was for. Not why they took it, no, you’re too selfish to wait for that info… you’re just pissed that they took it & that makes you mad enough to spout off.

But you’re just spitting sparks because you really don’t care about the nuance of this situation or the band you claimed to be a fan of. You’re fair weather bandwagon rider & you just like saying angry shit on the internet.

You are simply pissed that the money came from Amazon. You can’t offer up a reasoning as to why the Foo Fighters don’t deserve that money, you can’t offer up a thought on who does deserve that money, & you refuse to acknowledge that the money used to belong to Amazon, while now it belongs to someone better. You just picked the one part you didn’t like & told yourself your job was done here.
