🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
-
I'm not really a latte guy, but I usually like pumpkin stuff. Now I wonder what that pumpkin pie ice cream from last week really had in it:
The pumpkin spice latte is filled with the blood of indigenous peoples and people of color, but also their joy, their sweat, their labor and their love.

What the actual fuck?
-
Someone linked tumblr.
I would suggest someone visit 4chan long before I'd suggest tumblr.

If you look, it's a sarcasic-tumblr. It doesn't have a link, but the quoted article appears to be this:
Anyways...please refer to the topic title here.

Finally read through the entire thing, and the crazy seems pretty strong with this one.
Maybe I’m just tired of having to explain myself for just liking things that taste good. I mean, look at vanilla. Somehow a rich brown bean, dark and sweet, become a symbol of whiteness to radical queer people of color, a symbol of boring sex, and even more boring cake.
I guess non-white people have been making fun of pumpkin spice lattes? I dunno...I generally mock anyone who frequents take out coffee shops. But then, food snobs are everywhere and every color, and they're tiresome, so I can sort of sympathize.
I freaking love the culturally appropriated taste of vanilla. It's supposedly a very complex flavor (however that's measured) so I think it is a little odd from that perspective that it's associated with plainness or blandness. I always assumed it was an ice cream thing, since it's used as a base for most flavors. Oh, well.
And for fuck’s sake, don’t let white people make you feel guilty for indulging the complicated taste buds of your diasporic soul.
Eh...wait...how are white people making non-white people feel guilty about food?
-
To be honest tumblr has othekin. I almost wet myself laughing reading some of that stuff.
The authority...
-
What the actual fuck?
Poe's Law in action? I'm guessing. I'm not going to tumblr, unless it's for something pleasantly NSFW.

It's fun... and a little bit dangerous.

And how are white people not part of a diaspora? They're fucking everywhere! They're even in Antarctica!

"I am neurodivergent."
No kidding?

"I am neurodivergent."
I forgot that one. Must find a way to shoehorn it in to a conversation. I appear to have a backlog of phrases to do that with =(No kidding?

Hey, they make coffee. Anyone who brings coffee is a friend to me.

Bad idea: not being careful with that GIS when looking for a jewishy symbol to wish people a happy Yom Kippur.

Ouch

I thought @CoyneTheDup was thinking
abortionvoluntary interruption of pregnancy, but now I don't know anymore.What would we do without psychopathic euphemisms?

Ouch
The best part is that guy's face. I like to think he saw that picture for the first time right there, and he's like "oh shit, how do we explain this dumbfuckery away
-
I thought at first you had been d, but then I realized I'd seen that on a different site, probably the one you got that from.

In reality, probably not; he probably can't see it at all. Somebody, somewhere, is having that reaction, though.
-

No, I know. I'm sure that still was just at a point where he was in the middle of a word, is all.

Oh my, yes.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN IDEA:
tl;dr; Two hookers accuse a third (all from same pimp) of stealing $80. Challenge her to boxing match. Third hooker agrees if they all fight naked. Accusers beat up thief hooker while pimp gets the fight on video. Thief pays with money hidden in her hoo ha, then runs to a church, naked and bloody, accuses pimp and others of kidnapping her into sex trafficking.

Didn't you read the article? It's in the DA's office.

In defense of whoever came up with that expression, abortion may also refer to involuntary interruptions of pregnancy, which no one can claim to be immoral.
-

Spontaneous abortion, involuntary, caused by some medical condition, injury, or whatever.
"Therapeutic" abortion, caused by medical "therapy" to treat or prevent some condition; most often the condition is "inconvenience."
Nobody who discusses abortion is talking about spontaneous abortions.

I'm no literary historian, but I'm pretty sure this is the plot of The Merchant of Venice.

A man tried to kill a spider at a gas station using a lighter causing a dangerous fire.
No video, but there's a slideshow from the surveillance camera at the link. Sample:
-
Arachnophobes are so silly.
I found a spider on top of my car trunk at a gas station a couple of weeks ago and spent some time trying to get it off unhurt before going thru the car wash.
-
gas station using a lighter
most likely because he wasn't required to hold the pump handle ...
spent some time trying to get it off unhurt
no flamethrower then?
-

That was my first thought.

So it wasn't into BDSM then ?

-
Arachnophobes are so silly.
A coworker/friend's reaction to seeing me carry a small spider, which I had picked up by its thread so I could get her to the garden outside the window, was to scream and crush it with her bare fingers.
And then sob in remorse for the little innocent spider she had destroyed out of irrational fear.
-
Not even close... Unless you're refering to some ghetto movie makeover I haven't seen.
-
Hey, where did you get that picture? I told them that my face would break the camera, but they must've sneaked it in when I was preoccupied... apparently the lens was stronger than I thought.

Based on the rest of the story, I'm guessing that's one of the least sexy videos of all time.

Note that people like that always drive Buicks from the late-80s.

Bad idea: using pre-release demos to impress a bank loan officer.
Good idea: vetting your demo for obscenities before going to a major computer expo. Like, say, the first West Coast Computer Faire, when you are rolling out the Apple ][.
[quote=Steven Levy"]One day the new president (of Apple, circa 1977), Mike Scott, had told Chris Espinosa to copy the demo software that ran a "Breakout" game. It was a game Jobs had done for Atari and Woz had rewritten for Apple BASIC, and at the end of the game, the program rated your score with a comment. Scott said, by the way, could Chris also change the comments, making the screen say "Not Good" instead of "Pure Shit"? The reason was, some Bank of America people were coming to talk about a line of credit.[/quote]

I have a strict no vigilante policy with respect to bugs and whatnot in my house and the penalty is death. It's never occurred to me to feel remorse.
-
I'm not keen on having flies around the house. Fortunately, the spiders are very happy to catch and deal with them.
-
Not a fan of those, either. I either keep the doors and windows closed or only keep open the ones with screens.

Page 213 in the PDF version of Hackers
I've just spent 6 hours reading that book. That was riveting, there's some amazing parallels between what happened with the dawn of microcomputing and what is currently happening in the microcontroller sphere with things such as the Arduino.
Very interesting, that's certainly a lot to think about.
-
Probably not the best idea: trying to set a spider on fire while filling your car.
Extra dumbfuck points for pulling the flaming nozzle out of the tank as well.
-
Wouldn't happen if you had to hold the handle on the pump
-
If you have a look at the size of the fire immediately before Mr Fucknuckle pulls out the nozzle, it's consistent with the rate that vapor would be escaping from the tank as incoming fuel displaces it; and it's also pretty clear that when he does pull the nozzle, the pump is still dispensing fuel. So yes, if this were a sane fuel pump that stops as soon as you let go of the trigger on the nozzle, this fire would have been much less bad.
-
Niiiice...you found the video.
