That really sucks. I guess it was bursting at the seams containing all the Internet for you.

Nah. I don’t need them. I prefer not to have any, so people stop asking for them. That way, when I DO decide on the super rare occasion I decide to make an adventure to the vault and grab a spare one once every few presidencies or so, it’s seen as an absolute delight and gift from the golden gates of Xerxes.

Too bad….34 Felonies Man won’t be holding rallies here.

A historic nearly 55-year run. Hell of a feather to put in their cap. It’s unfortunate Steven Tyler didn’t get his vocal chops back. I would say it is fortunate that they are hanging the mic up. He’s 76, and a legendary musician. No need to take all the tours out on his body. He still goes out a legend.

Well, then they'll find out.

We DID get a definite answer from him. Google is your friend.

..........The fuck are you on about?

I figured this would happen. The thing they could get him on was negligent homicide. Even then, it was going to be a flimsy case. There IS a difference between criminal charges and civil charges here. Baldwin's civil charges might stick, on account of maybe...MAYBE not maintaining safe workplace standards as a producer. Even then, it's a stretch that things would be concrete. Given all the moving parts (and the fact that the Props and Effects Departments that control them) here, I could possibly see one or some of the crew being held responsible, but that's partially due to money being a factor. Even if it wasn't, they would have to be the ones you'd be pointing the finger at. I DO understand the impulse to pin Baldwin for it, but it wasn't going to work from the jump, in my opinion.

Man...2024 needs to chill TF out. Too many badass people in this year.

Shopping cart, basket, or cart. In Miami, I’ve heard it referred to as a “Methhead Mobile Home”

You definitely had me in the first half there. Well played.

Meh. He’s an asshole. He used to throw shit at me, tell me I wouldn’t amount to anything, and treats me with passive disrespect and distrust. I pretty much don’t do anything around my family unless I’m being paid to or I absolutely have to.

Yeah. Fuck cancer. Lost a lot of good ones to it Ironically, the VA who took over Jessie for her is how I found out about it.

WHELP. I’m gonna go and wither away into dust now.

I don’t do kneejerk reactions, normally. Especially when racism, discrimination, and other forms of civil rights suppression might be the topics. My reactions to things and situations like this are generally measured, grounded, and researched. The FIRST thing I did when I saw this was think “This school district name sounds familiar,” and start the search in my history where I remembered reading it. Then, the infamous saluting school photo came up, as did the rest of my original research about the area. The citizens in the area have a history of insensitive, disrespectful, and (borderline) overt racist behavior. Repeatedly misbehaving shows a pattern. Second, I looked at what the dad might’ve been upset about. His daughter was having bullying troubles, and the school did little about it. Typical BS there. Did they have a right to be upset? Sure. Stopping his daughter from shaking a person’s hand? Not the place for him to decide that, his daughter could’ve done it, herself. Him making an overt, physical altercation like that? Not a good look. Especially when she shook several other hands. All of those hands were administrators and staff for the school and district, as well. Third, I watched the video. Hence why I worded my response the way I did: Knowing that you have a connection with someone in that area (and having them confirm the bad behavior) leads me to believe a more racist bent to the actions. I don’t decry it automatically, but all the indication is that it is a pretty big factor here.

The superintendent is the ONLY person of African, Black, or any other descent other than Caucasian and/or European (from what I’ve seen of the hour+ video, which is about 25+ minutes now). It probably was personal, as well, but, unfortunately, that is bookended by the history of this school district and misbehavior.

The FUCK does Indiana know about Mexican food? The fuck does ANY northern state know? The fuck?

@katt_goddess I’m gonna counter your apology here with this: This is the SAME school district that defended the infamous high school photo. I am pretty sure him charging ONLY that person says it all. Leader or not, the implication is clear. Especially given the history of this school district (that photo isn’t the ONLY time they’ve been in the news over issues like this).

Did you hear the one about Beethoven? Neither did he.

One day, man’s dog ran away with his wife’s sex toy. Man was laughing at it. When asked why, he said: It’s a doggone bone

This has been living in my head rent free lately.

Gonna get a bunch of hermit crabs, and put them in a tank. They're mingling crabs now.

Got tired of someone taking decorating a room too seriously. Threw a lamp at their head. Told them they need to lighten up.

As someone who trains for one of said establishments....I too hate these motherfuckers. They need to get the fuck out of the way. If I wasn't getting paid, I would physically taze them to make them move.
