Mizura is only the southern half. Us northerners pronounce it properly.
That's probably what the Mizurans say about you northerners, too.

It is, but they're objectively wrong. (IMO of course.)

Making cute cartoon versions of people who murdered and raped as a job.

The message they are showing off makes me wonder WTF a good pirate does do.
-
Calling people "pirates" because they shared a copy of your music with their friends.
-
Also, calling people "hackers" because they phished a password or DoS'd your favorite website.
-
All those gentlemen of the sea off the coasts of Somalia and Sumatra must be the not good pirates then! I bet they don't even roll their “Arrr!”s like people from Plymouth, the barbarians…

Antidepressives that can make you suicidal.
I mean that seems sort of counterproductive.

People do that on purpose, it's a "thing".

That one's photoshopped, unfortunately. It's the discussion that led me to the tumblr full of kerning examples though, which was a plus!

That's a fascinating effect. See, the idea is, you were already suicidal, but you didn't have enough motivation to do anything about it. As you start to recover, you get motivation and energy back before you lose the suicidal drive, so you actually end up carrying out the plans you'd made.

Well, I'd rather not see his "thing".

I don't know, the second answer seems to contradict the accepted answer. Esurance tweeted to confirm the oversight.
-
The second answer was posted first, and it got a ton of upvotes before it came out that it was a shop, which is why the shop answer is accepted. The original photo is in the shop answer, it looks bad enough to begin with. You'll note that there's only one photo clearly reading "dick", where you'd expect dozens of photos from different angles if it was THAT obvious, given everyone has a camera on their phone nowadays.

Exactly. Still a Bad Idea. Just a different one than @DoctorJones thought.

I understand that mate. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that doing that is actually a "thing".

I'm not having any more issues than on my desktop.
-
There's also the situation where people haven't yet reached the point of considering suicide when they start the anti-depressant. Then they notice that the drug isn't working, and so they decide they can't be helped, and then get suicidal.

Attempting to murder someone by pushing them under the train, in front of cameras.

I guess someone who doesn't know about the concept of express trains can't be expected to look out for CCTV cameras.

I know what you mean (stock browser in Gingerbread):
If I disable javascript, however, I can browse quite well. With pagination.
I'm not able to login and post though (AFAICT).

But it almost worked. His plan only had 3 or 4 fatal flaws.

Her. She was some kind of jilted lover, apparently.

I'd say the biggest flaw is that it doesn't look like it was fatal (on the tracks but between the rails).
-
Her. She was some kind of jilted lover, apparently.
I would pay (a small amount of) money to have heard her internal monologue as she realized she was going over the edge of the platform.
-
BTW is there more context to the story?

Ah, so the perp did get injured. Good.
Have fun explaining that one in--literally--a Mexican prison. Way to buff your cred.

Protip, fat murderer woman: the train's going a lot faster at the MOUTH of the tunnel. If you shoved someone off the platform there, it likely wouldn't have time to stop.

Yeah, but that adds a lot of dragging distance. I don't think she had it in her.

Democrat Senators:
First up, Mark Udall:
So...he says beheaded journalists would have told us to take our time and not rush into doing something about the guys who beheaded them. Of course, they might have changed their minds had they known that we dithered about a rescue attempt long enough that the prisoners were moved.
Next: Harry Reid
http://www.politico.com/story/2014/09/campaign-finance-senate-constitutional-amendment-110726.html
So, the Democrats have decided that the First Amendment sucks and they have a proposal in the Senate to update it to suit their fascist desires. There was a vote for cloture (i.e., where the modern filibuster happens) that needed 60 votes in order to bring the motion to a vote. The vote was 78-18 with all
Republicans voting Naythe nay votes coming from Republicans.Reid says this is dirty politics on the part of the Republicans. They're clearly just wasting time by allowing everyone to go on record for a favorite Democrat fund raising issue.
-
The vote was 78-18 with all Republicans voting Nay.
If they all voted Nay then how was the vote split so one sided? Do you mean that all of the Nay votes came from Republicans?
EDIT: breakdown is 53 D, 45 R, 2 I that go with D
-
Yes, sorry, meant all the Nay votes were Republican.
-
Reid says this is dirty politics on the part of the Republicans. They're clearly just wasting time by allowing everyone to go on record for a favorite Democrat fund raising issue.
The Democrats propose a bill that has zero chance of passing. The Republicans allow the bill to move forward to debate and a vote, so the Republicans are stalling. If the Republicans had stalled the bill, they would have been not stalling. That makes even less sense than usual for Congressional politics, which is damned little.

Right. And it's not like every single voting Democrat (CBA to figure out who the non-voters were) didn't vote for this apparent stalling tactic. The worst part is that Reid's statement will work with the target Democrat LIV demographic that is a part of the demographic that hates free speech. Because they're fucking idiots.

That's the weird thing about laws. Very few protect freedoms, most take them away. And we're only getting more laws, and thus, less freedom.
