  • Looks like they're getting ready for whatever play they intend to make against the gangs and are trying to keep exacts on the hush hush to avoid the gangs being able to make preparations.

    They're called gangs in print but it's worth remembering that these organizations have military training and equipment at their disposal far exceeding what you'd picture when someone says the word "gang", at this point it'd be more accurate to consider them warlord bands.

  • Legit did the drunk couple act with my GF once to smuggle her favorite candies into the theater for a movie date

    Just had so much shit that it was sticking out even on my deep pocket pea-coat

  • Eh, whackamole enforcement usually cuts mustard with this kind of stuff.

    Like yeah someone's gonna do it anyways just because, but then all it takes is enough people raising an alarm to bring it down, and as a side effect, remove more shitass developers from the market.

    You end up with an equilibrium where not every example is getting the hammers of justice, but enough examples are that the average consumer still feels the benefit of a noticeably less toxic internet.

  • Probably a lot of black families actually do have fried chicken, barbeque and cookouts are apparently a big part of the festivities traditionally.

    If you find yourself becoming such good friends with a black person that they actually invite you to one of these cookouts, don't bring fried chicken, or watermelons, or most of the stereotypical "black" foods, they're considered black people food because the post civil war south fostered an environment of chronic black poverty on purpose that led to black families tending towards raising cheaper animals and growing cheaper crops for their own consumption.

    So a white guy cracking watermelon or fried chicken jokes or bringing that kind of stuff to a black celebration comes across less as trying to share in the culture and more as rubbing salt in a, in many ways still open, wound.

    As for what you should bring, bro just ask. Just making it known ya want to bring something for folks to enjoy will be good and appreciated, and if they decide they'd like to take you up on that, they'll either give you a recipe off their list of stuff they've decided they want or ask what you think you can handle making and take your word on that if anything you feel confident making sounds good. Who knows, maybe that year will go down as the year that corned beef ya mentioned becomes a staple of the annual cookout!

  • Homer referred to the ocean as "wine dark", if you've seen pictures of the Mediterranean around Greece, that shit's as Blue as Blue can be, so what it probably boiled down to is that they could "see" blue, but they always understood it as a blackish color or Green if they had distinguished that by that point.

    Basically, there wasn't a lot of necessity use in distinguishing blue, so most people didn't until recently.

  • BTW, this could be an intentional thing to try and convince you to move back to the local area.

    There's that one famous Reddit story recently about someone who's family went as far as not telling her about a major funeral and then gaslighting her when she realized and didn't drop the issue.

  • So funny thing, apparently this here is actually a very small part of horse unit work, and the reason cities might still have a horse patrol is because they're convenient to send out on heavy bar nights.

    Why?

    Because the drunks are all overgrown toddlers and drop the belligerent act because "shhhhhh don't spook the horsey!!!!!"

    That being said the vid of the one loser in London basically getting corralled like a misbehaving calf by a single patrol lady is still pretty damn funny.

  • Yeah because Tony Soprano definitely has the time to come break your pipes specifically over not buying some dude's flood insurance.

    That definitely checks Occam's razer. What is your salmonella from the pasteurization mafia now too?
