This miniseries is a gold standard of BBC teleplay productions as well. How it keeps holding up 50 years on is a testament to how well it was produced. So many fantastic scenes in that series. The one where Augustus is questioning a line of men who had slept with his daughter is a stand out for me, as despite the vitriol from Brian blessed’s performance he still manages to NAIL comedic timing.

the trick was to play as the banker and win by sending OTHER people out on the trail, which was the real lesson of that game.

he’s the lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins. Soundtrack to all those edgy 90’s teenagers who dreamed of being on MTV’s the Real World and had a dalliance with bisexuality before taking a welding course in community college and marrying a basic bitch/brad, then living in a tan bungalow with a pitbull and a labradoodle.
- Comment on The reason the right are so anti Mamdani is obvious: they don’t want you to see what your tax dollars being put to work the right way would actually look like. Then everyone would want it everywhere. 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Minimum Wage Isn't Living Wage 2 weeks ago:
Raises in minimum wage don’t come from nowhere. So the boss increases prices to cover it. Cost of living thus increases, so we ask for a rise in the minimum wage.
How about we set a MAXIMUM wage, then set it to be no higher than 3-5% more than the lowest paid employee in the company? The extra money left can be paid out as dividends to investors and/or taxed by the government.
THAT’S HOW YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM: BE EFFECTIVE, NOT EFFUSIVE.

Ask yourself: In a hostage situation what is the one thing that the negotiator wants to keep the hostage taker doing?
A) TALKING You have to keep them talking
Why?
Because if they are “talking” they aren’t DOING. If they are “talking” they are DISTRACTED.
And what to politicians and corporations want everyone to do when confronted by a “pressing social issue?”
“Join the conversation.”
“Talking” is a stall tactic. Because as long as they can keep that discussion going, they don’t have to act on anything.

I needed to get an MRI a few years back. Cost with insurance was $1,200. I was paying it and after a few months (because i literally could not set up a payment plan because I knew as soon as i did I’d fail to meet it; I had the money each month, just i couldn’t tell you when I’d have it, specifically) it went to a collections agency. $400. I have refused to pay it, as I was making payments in good faith, and they STILL sold off my debt after 6 months. YOU CAN GET FUCKED THOMAS AGENCY. IF YOU WANT THAT MONEY GET SPECTRUM RADIOLOGY TO GIVE IT TO YOU BACK SO I CAN RESUME PAYMENTS TO THEM.

so, a fact to consider: if you are fat, but you are a person who is on their feet a lot, you will never skip leg day, by definition.
I’m 5’6" have a 43" waist and am 100lbs “overweight.” My legs look like I ride in the Tour de France everyday.

Buy a cat. In my area most people are dog people and it’s been my experience that dog people are VEHEMENTLY dog people. The mere presence of a feline in your house will send them into fits.
Ergo:
The chances that a potential burglar is a dog person of this type is very high and thus having a cat will dissuade them from entry.
or to put it another way:
Minecraft has taught me that Creepers hate Cats.

Eat the powder and then drink the water. Saves a plastic bottle. Not only does it assert dominance, it’s the eco friendly option!

I was high once and had the idea that masturbation could be an olympic sport. Even worked out the scoring metrics. For men it would be based on duration, and distance/volume, and for women it would be based on style points for Dildo use/ girth/length taken etc.
I WAS HIGH AT THE TIME, FFS Relax. I don’t need a litany of how disgusting that is.

I usually go with 3% when I pitch this idea, But since ole’ Elmo the South African Goose Stepping Space Ass was an actual Trillionaire for a hot second back there, I felt a modest revision may have been more impactful.

Cap top-end wages by regulating a minimum wage that can be no less than 5% of the top pay in that company, (and calling out shell companies so we don’t get a situation where the CEOs’ are technically “managing consultants” to avoid this rule.)
