I guess the ear-biting was an issue :p

..
"seems to be gone..."

Arg! In hindsight I guess a person pooping isn't going to last long on Imgur, even if it *was* black and white and from a non-graphic angle :D
I think he tried to wipe with his hand, but then he slipped and fell into his own poop. I tried to Google for it, but I don't see it :/

..
I knew better, but Jergul's "Who understands science?" thread baited me (though I won't respond there), and he called me a cynic again. I don't get that insult, because I've been mean-spirited but I don't think I've been cynical... but after reading the wiki page to see if I'm considering its definition correctly, this part stuck out:
"Cynicism can appear more active in depression ... Peter Sloterdijk defined modern cynics as "borderline melancholics, who can keep their symptoms of depression under control and yet retain the ability to work, whatever might happen ... indeed, this is the essential point in modern cynicism: the ability of its bearers to work—in spite of anything that might happen." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynicism_(contemporary)
That sentiment has followed me into some movie critiques .. like in the movie "Bokeh" (2017) I thought it was silly that a character (Maika Monroe's "Jenai") would stop caring about life and would become despondent just because everyone else stopped existing :D

Anyways, I'll still say that I've just been mean-spirited lately; I don't think I'm a cynic — I just dislike stupid people :p .. I'll still read this Peter Sloterdijk's "Critique of Cynical Reason" though... could be interesting.

This story seems to have upset the person who posted it:
"Completely average skier lands a spot in the Olympics"
http://imgur.com/gallery/0zTML
..but being rich or having lots of money has always been a component of having a shot at the Olympics — not a coincidence that the top-medalled teams all come from 1st world countries that can afford to send their athletes to training camps. And her half-pipe run didn't have crazy flips and stuff, but that was still a fast speed (I've never skied before, so it looks difficult to me at least :p )

maybe you have a cynical assessment of your cynicism

i didn't even know regular skiers did the half-pipe thing... or maybe i just forgot they did... my theoretical interest in the winter olympics is much higher than my actual interest (although i do recall really enjoy Short Track in 2002)

there was also Eddie the Eagle... who apparently qualified as an olympic ski jumper by just being the only ski jumper from the UK or something (& causing a rule to be implemented named after him)

Update on the #UGTwit82 story of the guy who was weirdly positive about getting his feet amputated: he just posted a fresh picture with his now-healed stumps

"Hello friend it's my pleasure to write you this message. I am Craig Cole an American Soldier Sgt. deployed to Somalia for peace keeping mission, I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important issue. I want you to know that this place is not safe for us but we have no option. We are been attacked by insurgents, car bombs in so many occasions.

During one of our rescue mission as we normally do, we came across a safe box that contain huge amount of money that belongs to the Rebels in Somalia, which I believe was money meant for buying of there weapons and ammunition. When we get to the camp that faithful day our commander call all the Army officers present on that rescue mission that the money will be shared among us because we lost few soldiers during that assignment, Out of the total money found, my share was ($2,500,000) Two Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.I kept my share in a Security Company in Turkey which I thought was the safest country to keep the funds hoping when I am out of here I will go for it.

I am sad because of the email I received from the security Company few days ago that the Company my Consignment was kept want to relocate to another country due to increase of Tax and if the Security Company close down and I am not around they will return the box back to me and its will cost me my job.That is why the security company is calling to every costumers that have packages with them should come get their belongings. And now I can't leave here due to my Job. I'm so confuse.I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the Box to your destination.Friend I will want you to receive the Consignment to keep it safe on my behalf till I come over to your country so we can invest in a profitable business. I want you to know that the box would be delivered to your home without any hitch.

I have made every arrangement, I have signed a bond with the Company that the Consignment box will never be opened or scanned by any immigration or custom till the box get to you. The box will leave Turkey to your country since it is the only way the Consignment can get to you save, I want you to treat this with your whole heart because their is no risk involve, I will await your prompt responds on this issue.

Kindly notify me of your interest Via email.

Best Regards"

"LOS ANGELES—Gushing that yesterday’s Oscars had changed the face of Hollywood forever, hundreds of total fucking dumbasses whose very existence insults the name of journalism reported Monday that “diversity was the real winner last night.” “On a night traditionally filled with glitz and glam, it was race and gender equality that finally had their moment in the Oscars spotlight,” wrote countless slathering dipshits, who, by publishing surface-level puff pieces claiming that “new voices had triumphed on the biggest stage in Tinseltown,” upended the very foundation on which journalism was based. “Inclusion stole the show last night in a dazzling spectacle that proves once and for all that outside voices are the real up-and-coming stars. In many ways, it wasn’t A-list celebrities who deserved a standing ovation yesterday, but representation itself.” At press time, the bumbling oafs continued to degrade their profession by declaring that, in many ways, America was the true Oscar darling."

true story :p


Employees in Apple Park, Apple’s grand new spaceship-style headquarters in California, keep walking into glass doors and windows.

Despite warnings from a building inspector that people would not be able to tell where the door ends and the wall begins, at least three Apple employees walked or ran into the ultra-transparent glass hard enough to require emergency medical treatment during the first month of occupation, according to recordings of 911 calls obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Apple Park is a gigantic, $5bn (£3.6bn) four-storey glass and metal circle building designed by Norman Foster, where the glass has been specially treated to achieve an exact level of transparency and whiteness. The doorways reportedly have perfectly flat thresholds because “if engineers had to adjust their gait when entering the building, they risked distraction from their work”, according to a construction manager talking to Reuters. It also uses the largest, heaviest single pieces of glass ever installed on a building that also happens to be curved.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs once said: “There’s not a straight piece of glass on this building” and that this was “a shot at building the best office building in the world”.

Employees have reportedly been dealing with the problem since Apple Park first opened in a limited capacity last year. According to Bloomberg, distracted workers on their iPhones have been walking into glass walls around office spaces, resorting to sticking yellow sticky notes on the glass doors to help. The notes were reportedly removed, however, because they detracted from the building’s design.

"Negative Review Of ‘A Wrinkle In Time’ Peppered With Critic Assuring Readers He Still Totally Supports Diversity"
[Onion News in Brief]
http://ent...me-peppered-with-cr-1823656342
"OAKLAND, CA—Alternating his problems with the film’s story structure, pacing, and overall tone with effusive praise for the cast of strong, multicultural women, Bay Area Examiner film columnist Justin Garren published a negative review of A Wrinkle In Time Friday in which he nevertheless took pains to remind his readership of his support for diversity. “This adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s young-adult classic sanitizes the book’s most powerful themes, making it a rare miss for director Ava DuVernay, whose MLK biopic, Selma, I give my highest recommendation,” Garren wrote in his two-star review of the science-fiction adventure, painstakingly and repeatedly noting that his objections to the film are purely on cinematic grounds. “There’s plenty of blame to go around, as many of the film’s problems lie squarely at the feet of white people—Jennifer Lee delivered a tepid screenplay that was done no favors by Chris Pine’s hardly there performance.” At press time, Garren had taken to social media to promote his thinkpiece lavishing praise on virtually every aspect of Black Panther."

murderess acquitted:

Jurors Friday acquitted a Stillwater bail agent of first-degree murder in the August shooting death of one of her clients.

Carey, 42, of Drumright, testified she shot the client, Brandon James Williams, 38, of Stillwater, at her office Aug. 9 in self-defense. She and her 19-year-old son were attempting to take Williams, who was free on bail, back into custody at the time.

“I was afraid he was going to shoot my son,” Carey told the Payne County jury. “I felt like we were going to be killed. … I've never been that scared before.”

Carey testified Williams attempted to grab her gun before fleeing out her office window. She said she beat Williams to the gun and turned to fire just as he was going out the window. She shot Williams in the back.

Wows... and she was acquitted ... D: wut?
The son was clearly like, "Mom, what the fuck did you just do? Why the fuck did you do that?"
..and a comment pointed out that she shot, then very stupidly pulled back the slide (ejecting a round, since pulling back the slide only makes sense if there was no round chambered in the first place)..
..and oh, a comment pointed out why she was acquitted: prosecutors charged her with first degree murder (too high of a charge), but this was manslaughter.. so... good job, prosecutor..

yeah first-degree may be a bit much, although i think it's been ruled that premeditation can be established in mere seconds... she's making a deliberate non-hysterical effort to 'get gun to shoot guy so he doesn't get away' in my opinion

United Airlines apologizes for dog that died after being put in overhead bin

The passenger was asked to move the bag because it was sticking out into the aisle, according to a person familiar with the incident.

The owner of the dog told the flight attendant that the animal was in the bag, but the flight attendant insisted that the bag be put in the overhead bin.

That was in the annoying news feed thing that Firefox puts in my blank new tab space, and of course I clicked this one because.. aminals :p .. also the promise of a "disturbing" image of a dead one ;D
Sticking into the aisle is definitely a problem, but I'm surprised that the passenger didn't try to get the dog completely under the seat (apparently under the seat is United's pet policy?) or just hold the dog in her lap. Seems to be some missing pieces here between pet sticking out and pet being put overhead. I'd bet that the passenger had too much crap with her and decided to keep her extra crap under the seat and the dog overhead, but I may be projecting my general dislike of campsite travelers ;p
..Also, customer service for a discount airline must be one of the worst when it comes to not being stressed.. so maybe the attendant was just pissed and wanted to watch something die ;p

United Airlines says it’s investigating after mistakenly flying a Kansas family’s dog to Japan.

KCTV reports that Kara Swindle and her two children flew from Oregon to Kansas City, Missouri, Tuesday on a United flight.

They went to a cargo facility to pick up 10-year-old Irgo, a German shepherd, but were instead given a Great Dane. Swindle, of Wichita, Kansas, learned Irgo had been put on a flight to Japan, where the Great Dane was supposed to go.

True! :D ..maybe partial credit because he had already gotten carried away when he smashed the back window. The driver-side window made sense because it could be to stop the driver, but the back window was just opportunity it seemed :D

"New Workplace Diversity Initiative Kills One White Employee Every Hour On The Hour Until More Minority Candidates Hired"
[Onion News in Brief]
http://loc...ills-one-white-empl-1823765187
"TERRE HAUTE, IN—In an effort to foster a more inclusive workplace, Jetsam Marketing Solutions announced Wednesday a new plan to implement diversity by conducting hourly regimented killings of white employees and hiring a more equitable percentage of minority candidates in their stead. “Until our staffing goals are met, one white person, preferably a straight man, will be publicly executed every 60 minutes, leaving a vacant position for a candidate who represents an historically disadvantaged group,” said human resources manager Allison Conte, who sat behind her desk and sharpened a knife as she told reporters the company could no longer be accused of merely paying lip service to representation. “While creating a more diverse organization is not something that happens overnight, we believe that at our current pace we can have the matter resolved within five days, six tops.” At press time, sources confirmed several newly hired employees at Jetsam Marketing had filed complaints alleging the company maintains a hostile work environment."

"‘The Onion’ Hires Several Pastry Chefs Away From Entenmann’s To Form New Bakery"
[Onion News in Brief]
http://www...fs-away-from-entenm-1823807651
"CHICAGO, IL—Confirming an exciting new foray into non-traditional revenue streams, The Onion announced Thursday that it has hired several industry-leading chefs away from pastry giant Entenmann’s in order to form their own mass-retail bakery. “We’re eager to announce that we’ve taken on the talents of Entenmann’s esteemed baker-in-chief, an executive kitchen manager, and several of their younger pastry chefs. We’re optimistic that their experience in the production of individually-packaged pies, coffee cakes, and doughnuts will help launch the company toward our mission to disrupt the commercial baking industry,” The Onion said in a press release this morning in which the news outlet revealed they attempted to buy Entenmann’s three years ago, but ultimately declined out of disinterest in several of the company’s muffin offerings. “It’s fairly obvious that bakery is the next frontier after domination of online news and tailored social media content. Frankly, we don’t know how anyone’s not seeing this.” Outside sources are speculating that the Onion has announced their bakery’s new name following a cryptic, context-free tweet this afternoon that simply read, “Crust!”"

lulz.. it was really only a matter of time before they were deconstructed to formulaic, which is why the scene has moved on to doom metal and doesn't worry that much about when Tool might release their next album ;D ... (though Maynard *has* apparently finished writing the album, and they have studio time planned)

..that T-shirt&sign combo is really confusing to me D:

"‘I Must Make Sure You Have The Skills To Please My Grandson,’ Says Queen Elizabeth Disrobing Before Meghan Markle"
[Onion News in Brief]
http://www...s-to-please-my-gran-1823835071
"LONDON—Claiming that the fate of the Realm was dependent on the Prince’s continual satisfaction in all his physical needs, Queen Elizabeth II summoned Meghan Markle to her royal bedchamber Friday, where she embraced her granddaughter-to-be, slowly dimmed the lights, and proclaimed, “We must ensure you have the skills to please my grandson,” before letting her nightgown slip languorously to the floor. “As queen, it is my responsibility to properly train you in the erotic duties expected of the Crown,” said the 91-year-old Queen Regnant, ushering her future granddaughter-in-law toward a luxurious canopy bed on which an assortment of feather ticklers, blindfolds, and other pleasure-enhancing items had been carefully arranged. “The fate of all England may someday hinge on you indulging the desires of your husband-to-be in a way befitting a prince; thus, I shall guide you through all the carnal wisdom of our regal forebears, every sensual escalation and lascivious technique known to arouse royal blood. The tantric secrets of Mary, Queen of Scots alone have the power to bring the most frigid of kings and consorts to a transport of ecstasy.” The Queen then reportedly began the process of confirming that Markle was indeed yet a virgin."
