He is clearly engaged in the great ritual dance known as…

The Macarena!!

Yes, my comment was an oversimplification in light of the topic. The adage is supposed to teach you to get rid of the bad apple to save the barrel.

Yeah, I think something like 15 would be the perfect “fuck you” amount for something beyond Starbucks and fast food. Enough to make it worth going, but only really enough for an appetizer.

Or be really horrible and just take one of the 50 or 100 ones for a decent restaurant, and just don’t get it activated. He won’t find out until they try to run it, I think.

This might be the most horrible idea I’ve ever had.

The phrase is “One bad apple spoils the barrel.”

Literally means all are bad if one is bad.

Edit: verb simplification.

No, like seriously, what’s going on here? Is the Count cos playing Johnny Depp or something??

I definitely do get a thrill when thinking about dying for a good cause instead of some absolutely pointless death. Hell yeah. I just hesitate to call it a fantasy, because of the other parts of what would have to happen to the people around me to make that happen.

Maybe that’s the difference: women think about how others will feel more so than themselves while men think mostly of the glory or release it will bring them. Reminds me of the difference in suicide methods based on gender. Women attempt it more but choose easy-to-clean-up methods that are not as efficacious. Men seem to rarely think about who is going to have to clean bits of their brain off the ceiling and walls after they shoot themselves in the head. Wonder if this difference also explains why almost every school shooter is male.

Edit: I am not trying to say this is genetically differently wired between the genders. I think it has more to do with how boys and girls are raised differently.

Blackjack hadn’t been invented yet. Hell now definitely has blackjack.

I mean, I didn’t think the meme meant one had to enjoy it. I definitely considered it long before I was a teacher. The sweet release of death would certainly be nice, and I try to live every day like it’s my last. Saving others would be a great bonus, but it would still not be a fun scenario. So, while I definitely think about it, I would not call it fantasizing? But again, I think you are reading fantasy into the meme.

There is no way TWO adult men would sit philosophically by while a child banged his cock. Maybe one man, but not two.

Yes, at least some do. I know I’m ready to take the bullet instead of my students, and I’d do the same in other situations as well.

Yes, women also think these things. I’d jump in front of a bullet for almost anyone. And it’s a larger possibility than most people that I’d have a chance to do so since I’m a teacher in Texas. 😬

Get some decent headphones and stop being a selfish jerk who might hurt people. You can transcend without driving a fucking car.

The above piece isn’t trying to give a deep reason for your actions: that would be ridiculous. You have proved that true with your post.

What the post is trying to convey is how other people feel about your selfish “it feel good to me (sic)” invading their space and awareness.

Be a better one person than this. Do you realize how much noise pollution negatively affects the most vulnerable in our communities the most?

I absolutely understand listening to music loud: it can sound better. I use headphones while at home that ensure I can listen as loud as I like, WITHOUT BOTHERING ANOTHER FUCKING BEING.

Try to to process the actual content here, and find a way to enjoy your shit without annoying others.

Ok, ok, maybe… Thank you for this. Good call.

“Size of a nice rice ball” would have been more appropriate. Maybe if you tried flattening a 5 hour?

Neither are ovoid shaped, right? I just don’t understand.

What energy drink is shaped like that?? Maybe the diameter is similar, but no way it’s the size of a whole can.

Yeah, I do have trouble sometimes when it comes to those accused of sexual crimes… Cosby is especially difficult because he portrayed himself as a role model to such a degree. Can’t really do Allen, either, but he was never my type of filmmaker. They both just come off as hideous hypocrites and gross in their products now. I can’t even bring myself to call their doings art anymore, really. But they made themselves the center of the work in many cases, so it is more difficult to ignore than what some rock bands have gotten up to. I know Page and Plant did some fucked up things, and thus I dislike them, but I can’t not listen to the music they created. It’s too fundamental to me.

Appreciate that perspective: it really does boil down to art vs. artist. I tend to err toward keeping the bathwater and throwing the baby out.

The artist can be speratated from the work and the work can be appreciated without understanding the author’s intent.

But is there a line where the artist overshadows the art? Is that based on our personal morals?

Edit: I know my adjectives vs. adverbs, really!

Yes, line from song but if any one actually has a take on Cassavetes, I am very interested to hear it.

Definitely alcoholic and misogynist.

Messiah or genius of independent film? Not sure myself.
