    When there are two that aren't shite I'll give that a go.

    The other day I was going to post a somewhat smutty joke to a youtube video, and noticed it was signed in with one of my work emails. So I changed the user in youtube and it changed *all* gmail tabs to that user.

    It's millennials. They can't design shit.

    You cannot avoid the truth of the normal curve of human intelligence.

    You can avoid mentioning it though, if you want to avoid being piled on by the SJWs for being a racist or a eugenicist or a horrid meanie.

    Exuberant fees? They dance around and sing or something?

    there should be no fine, since restitution will be paid to those damaged by his scheme

    Right. Because it's a universally accepted legal principle that a wrongdoer who gets caught should, in the absolute worst case, break even. Go
      back to square one, if you like.

    What we want, is money! Or, wealth to be more exact!

    But if only there was a way to achieve that, without having to work...!

    Careful choice of parents can help.

    I do that sometimes, but I usually include a bit of a hint that I'm being sarcastic.

  8. No. That's when the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.

    An easy mistake to make though.

    One of my favourite stories from 2000AD was about a guy who had three jobs - a day job in an office, an evening job (waiter IIRC) and a night job in a bed factory as a tester.

    Job hoarding is a crime and needless to say he was like totally judged.

  10. Somebody built a replica of the house from Gone with the Wind in antarctica.

    c6gunner says it's a Polar Tara.

  11. Nobody yet? OK, here goes on Does India's Anti-Satellite Missile Test Mean The Weaponization of Space? (reuters.com) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Satheesh Reddy, the chief of India's Defence Research and Development Organisation, said a low-altitude military satellite was picked for the test, to reduce the risk of debris left in space

    He went on to add that he always shits near the edge of the street so that it will get into the drain more quickly.

    If it's that embarrassing, don't do it on your work computer.

    If you're a freelancer and you use your own machine, have separate user accounts for work stuff and crossdressing midget porn. That was just a hypothetical example.

    Which language, though? J sound before i or e is the rule in Italian. Of the words you used gentle, giants & angels are from that side of the family. Orange is Spanish, though it should be norange.

    Different ascents pronounce the same words differently

    How very descent of you to say that.

    By the way, accurately, you are pronouncing it correctly if the person you are talking to understands what you are saying

    Not true. People can correct for errors, but they're still errors. It's much harder work than listening to someone who doesn't need decoding.

    This applies in writing too. The middle sentence of your post is a fucking train wreck.

    Your advice on language usage ranks right up there with Stephen Hawking's guide to rollerblading.

    I doubt he wants to turn it into anything.

    It's just that in the event of someone legislating anything, he doesn't want to pay for it.

    They have tear gas, flashbangs, rubber bullets, bean bag rounds, tasers, all of which will put someone on the ground WITHOUT filling them full of holes, yet despite the SWAT units having all these options AND more body armor than a soldier in Iraq AND often hiding behind shields or cars when engaging...their default state is to ventilate.

    That's totally unfair.

    You left out "while outnumbering the suspect by 20 to 1".

    I'm wondering if you meant to type what you typed there. You can always create a hypothetical where the police didn't know not something.

    Let's hope that if they ever ring your doorbell they know that you are not holding an atom bomb detonator disguised as a TV remote. Because by your own "logic" if they aren't sure they should shoot you just in case.
