It makes sense that any place that is convenient to smoke that also permits you to smoke, will also be a place thats convenient for anyone to be at or pass by.

Can't really solve that unless you can only smoke in inconvenient spots by law.

Which I wouldn't be opposed to, but my bias is obvious.

Sometimes that works but typically people spread out and smoke on both ends of the bus stop, or people will be smoking as they walk around.

The wind blows the shit around as well, it doesn't really take much of it to start the headache going.

Yep, death to people smoking at bus stops once again.

Love to get a huge headache at 6 in the morning because people have a chemical addiction to breathing poison into the air.

Once again wishing that everyone who smokes at a bus stop gets struck by lightning.

You can also find rare legitimately interesting user curated lists with some kind of stated perspective.

Idk a better method than getting lucky with checking what lists your favourite albums are on, but I did find a gem titled something like "The First String" for stuff with interesting focus on guitar, which ranged from American Primitivism, noise improv, to Surf Rock from Egypt.

I don't really get all the stuff about how you don't get to know your coworkers if you don't have a happy hour, because if there's one thing I know about coworkers at work it's that people talk all the time about basically anything.

Only times that are categorically quiet is during evening or weekend shifts when you have like 4 people and at least half of them are dead tired just trying to do a competent job.

Like most obnoxious conspiracy guys, it's very amorphous and depends on what they can say to be superior in the moment.

Often they want it to be the former, but typically only the latter actually has concrete proof of it happening in various circumstances(and rarely if ever as a discrete commercial venture.)

It basically comes off to me as a more antisocial and obnoxious version of the JFK truth circles, which I already think is practically worthless to really engage with in a political sense.

Like that's too mainstream and accepted for these guys, so they go for something more radical and edgy. The same thing was sort of happening with satanic panic shit for a while too but that tended to edge more right wing IME.

I really hope this isn't becoming a trend but this is the second time I've had twitter show me someone who is acting extremely superior about their ideological position that you're basically not a real leftist unless you loudly believe that snuff films are real.

Like just you're basically a dumb fucking hog who might as well be an average lib if you just kind of assume they are an urban legend but don't actually care.

Are they gonna make 75% of the characters bizarrely taller than the remaining human sized people or is the movie bullshit?

I definitely get what people are concerned with in regards to backlash and direct retaliation.

But at the same time for how long can the waters just remain basically stagnant on shit like this? Public protest isn't a viable strategy in the west in regards to reliably extracting victories in the time span people fucking need them to happen.

 

Low budget TV movie that I found recommended on Twitter in the wake of the news breaking on James Earl Jones.

What starts out like what you'd expect of a movie adapting a real alleged abduction actually ends up unfolding into an extremely effective relationship drama as the alleged abduction puts a strain on their mental health and already tenuous social standing as not just a mixed couple but also one featuring a divorced black man, all in the early 60s.

Genuinely top class romantic acting from both James Earl Jones and his co-star Estelle Parsons, with James also turning out some really great acting of panic and terror during the hypnosis scenes.

 

AKA: Resident Evil 2 Remake 2

 

Time to see if I will have to eat my own words when I said that this guys videos feel much shorter than Hbomberguy videos of half the length.

 

I don't care who shot JFK, I don't care how many guys it were, I don't care who planned it, I don't care who shot officer JD Tippett, I don't care why Jack Ruby shot Oswald nor do I care if the CIA gave him the MKULTRA brainwashing lung cancer, don't care who covered it up, and actually its way funnier if it was just two bumbling failures who did it on their own.

Shut the fuck up and let me browse my slop in peace kitsuragi-depress

This shit is fucking goofy, this is so fucking stupid I cant think of a better way to describe it than fucking moronic.

Not a single decision in this was made by someone who wasnt an executive ghoul lobotomized by capitalism.

 

Actually pretty funny Exorcist spoof, brings back some fond nostalgia from the "mad about video games" era of youtubers.

 

TL;DR: Vinegar is being sold at concentrations unsafe for preservation without proper warnings, 4% vinegar is unsafe while 5% is safe to can and pickle with.

 

To clarify, by people I mean regular NPCs who aren't designated as existing in a stage of berserker rage at your existence, but just like guys walking around in a town.

Every gameplay I've seen of someone trying to shoot like a regular guy you can talk to seems to just result in the dumb incapacitation thing because its an essential NPC.

 

Just the most relevant bits:

According to The Mexican Chile Pepper Cookbook by Dave DeWitt and José Marmolejo, 60 percent of jalapeños are sent to processing plants, 20 percent are smoke-dried into chipotles, and just 20 percent are sold fresh. Since big processors are the peppers’ main consumers, big processors get more sway over what the peppers taste like.

The salsa industry, Walker said, starts with a mild crop of peppers, then simply adds the heat extract necessary to reach medium and hot levels. She would know; she started her career working for a processed-food conglomerate.

“I’ve worked in peppers in my entire life,” she told me. “Jalapeños were originally prized as being a hot pepper grown in the field. When we were making hot sauce in my previous job, we had the same problem, that you couldn’t predict the heat. When you’re doing a huge run of salsa for shipment, and you want a hot label, medium label, mild label, it’s really important to predict what kind of heat you’ll get. We tried a statistical design from the fields, and it just didn’t work, because mother nature throws stressful events at you or, sometimes, does not bring stress.”
