Are you on GW2? I could throw you an invite.

Aww, less relevant than I'd hoped. I'll stick to my champagne then.

Sausagefest
Kiełbasa? Knackwurst? Maple-flavored breakfast sausages? Now I'm hungry.
-
Alright, you're invited to Sausagefest.
Also, @Arantor and @royal_poet still haven't accepted the invites I sent them.
Thailand hotel wifi sucks too much to play GW2.

Are you planning on coming back? Ever?

How did Fox join before being invited?

I'm coming back next week then might even log into GW2 again... the whole 'working' thing sucks, btw.

Oh, is that you who sent that? How did that work, as I deleted Fred right after posting.

He named it that after I joked his clan was named "Cocks 'o' Plenty" when he told me he invited Fox.
Or something like that, it was a couple months ago.

TLDR:
Judge Clifford Bellamy said staff at Leicester city council had not undertaken a robust risk assessment of the man – a great-great-uncle who is in his 70s and was caring for the boy despite having served a jail term after admitting sexually abusing a girl.
And
The boy’s mother, who has mental health difficulties, had separated from his father several years ago and was now in a lesbian relationship. His father suffered from dwarfism, had a “problem with alcohol” and had a decade ago been convicted of having unlawful sex with a 16-year-old girl when he was 21.

It's a 404, but you can tell from context it's a Dwarf Fortress screenshot.

Sounds like a typical UK family situation, no?

I think this is one of those ideas were the reality is different than the appearance. The appearance of the sign, in this case, is uncompassionate. However, the reality is that every able-bodied person who takes the stairs makes it better for the people who actually need the elevator, such as the one in the picture.

Now you've got me thinking... if Jesus comes back, what is he exactly going to save me of? My debts? Siths? George Lucas?

Bad idea: posting a photo of your sister on 4chan.

AN artist has been given thousands of pounds of public money to simply live in Glasgow for a year.
But the move has sparked claims that London-born Ellie Harrison’s “durational performance” is nothing more than a middle-class “poverty safari”.
Scottish Government quango Creative Scotland is giving £15,000 to Ellie Harrison after she vowed not to leave the city limits for all of 2016.
So...worse idea to confine oneself to Glasgow or to pay someone to do that. Who, by the way:
...was born in London but has already lived in Glasgow for a number of years.

Paying someone to just live in a city and calling it a "performance" is ridiculous, but confining yourself to Glasgow voluntarily is worse

After the initial bout of WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! it actually makes a certain amount of sense. If the cargo item is big and heavy enough to need a forklift in the first place, it might be too heavy for a reasonable number of people to push to the front of the truck. Especially since the smaller forklift can't seem to push it in enough to give any people a toehold. And once you've lifted the little forklift up enough that it can push the box in at all, it's already there and there's not really a good reason not to push it the rest of the way.
You better hope there's two forklifts at the destination, though!

This kind of thing is done for serious and for demo, too. Can seem like a bad idea, but with care... Here are a couple I saw previously that were interesting.

Gawd! So epic! Imagine the next family dinner.

he don't cut along the dotted lines or anywhere close to them - except for the first cut.
The first cut along the dotted line didn't cut low enough to actually open the seal on that edge, so he cut it lower the next time.
...or you could just press it open like you're supposed to, and be not spilling milk 6 minutes sooner.
Why are there dotted lines if you're supposed to press it open?

So you can make a mess with scissors instead, I guess? I dunno, I mastered the other way when I was a little kid, unlike this guy:

So close!

I don't get anti-fluoride kooks--they're even dumber than anti-vaxxers.
But not quite as dumb as chemtrail believers.

First of all, if you actually investigate the original study that allegedly proved that water fluoridation reduced the rates of tooth decays, you'll find that it actually had little or no effect. The study had a "control" set, which was children in cities without fluoridated water, and the rates of tooth decays decreased by exactly the same amount over the length of the study there as well. So naturally they struck the control group out of the study and concluded that fluoride was the sole cause of the decline in tooth decay in the cities where it was added.
And secondly, even assuming that fluoride did have a beneficial effect on teeth, brushing with the stuff and then spitting it out would be a metric shitton smarter than immediately swallowing it so it barely even touches your teeth. It's also highly toxic, and the recommended "safe" dose is just a smidgen less than what starts causing noticeable bad effects (fluorosis).

Oh great, here we go again!
