  • Right, but other people in the thread were jumping to the conclusion that the tweet was referring specifically to killing children. It’s not, and if it was presented as such, a bad actor could argue, as I did, that the guy’s not a child murdering Nazi because of this metaphor.

    It’s bad enough that they’re using an ancient book to justify genocide. No need to sensationalize everything, it just weakens your argument.

    Ten seconds of signaling is insane. If you have the room, put on the blinker, change lanes safely, then turn it off.

    That’s nearly a quarter mile at freeway speed and more than an average block in the city. You might as well just keep it on the entire time you’re driving since nobody will know what you’re signaling.


  • Not trying to defend Israel, fuck 'em all to death, but there’s a whole lot of metaphor in both the biblical plague of the firstborn and this tweet, and neither are talking about murdering children.

    First of all, firstborn didn’t necessarily mean children, it just referred to a families first son who would inherit their wealth.

    The author of Exodus used “firstborn” figuratively to refer to both Egypt’s upper class, who inherited and upheld the system of slavery, and the Israelites, as God’s chosen people. Pharaoh wouldn’t set God’s “firstborn” free, so God kills Pharaoh’s “firstborn”. Eye for an eye biblical morality.

    Also, the plague before that was three days of darkness, so he’s making a legit reference, not just randomly threatening to kill babies.

    Also also, none of that stuff happened and the Israelites were never even in Egypt! themoreyouknow.jpg


  • I actually did this at a Five Guys. They were opening a new store and doing walk-in interviews while my buddy and I were working at a shitty restaurant next door.

    We went over on our break and told the managers we were there for an interview. They asked who wanted to go first and my friend just said “Nah, we’re kind of a package deal.”

    They thought it was a joke but we just sat down and shook their hands. Walked out 20 minutes later with new jobs.

    I wish Smell-O-Vision had taken off. Smelling gunpowder during shootouts, food that’s being cooked on-screen, cum and pussy and ass during love scenes, diesel fumes in a subway.

    It would probably still be way too expensive and complicated to be feasible but I won’t stop dreaming
