Ok. This the kind of thing that my dad called "placebo Viagra", he's wearing it to feel hard

Someone who knows about guns correct me here, but those four (magazines? clips? bang bang tubes?) aren't positioned in a place that looks like it'd be comfortable or easy to reach in a rush.

Thanks for the sympathy. I haven't felt that bad for a couple of years by now.

How do you not understand how using a racial slur to insult someone is racist?

Halloween 3 is (imho) worse than Halloween, but it is better than the other sequels because it does try to do something different.

Bunch of failed suicides, an accident in a school swimming pool, and the time my neighbour accidentally diverted a fuck tonne of carbon monoxide fumes into my house. All the times I've been close to death don't make for particularly interesting reading.

How about a brush with serious injury instead?

1st year of uni. I'm in the labs for the first time and I am hyped to do some microbiological analysis. We were given a bunch of techniques to try and I'd decided to start by doing gram staining and then observing a slide. Most of my class mates had less experience on the microscopes than me and I was feeling great about how quickly I'd calibrated everything. Cocky enough that I hadn't noticed just how coated in immersion oil my gloves were, until my hand accidentally passed through a Bunsen burner and went up in flames.

Thankfully I'd picked a bench close to the sinks and was able to wrap some damp towels around the hand quickly to try to smother the flame before I got seriously burnt. But the scars on my hand are a reminder to me to be aware of my surroundings in the lab at all times.

Halloween.

Executives butchered what was gonna be an anthology series because they saw Michael Myers as a marketable villain. So now every film in the series has gotta be the same thing again and again with the same monster doing the same things, ad infinitum.

Now I come to think of it that's, like, pretty much the entire mainstream of the horror genre isn't it?

On the 3rd of November 1970, Salvador Allende peacefully and by popular consent established a socialist government in Chile. By the 11th of September 1973 he had been overthrown and killed, his democratic government replaced with the fascist regime of Augustus Pinochet.

The revolution is necessary because the ruling class will fight to the last human to defend their unequal distribution of wealth.

Call it authoritarian if you will, but this is the struggle that must occur if you want to build a better world.

In case you're unaware, the "ethnically Russian" people being mentioned in the previous comment aren't Ukraine as a whole but the citizens of the Donbas who have been the victims of an ongoing genocide by Ukraine since ~2014.

If you pop into that users history, you'll see that the interacting they're talking about is whining at me for a couple of days because I called them a racist.

Mongrel is a catch-all term for dogs that are crossbreeds.

Comparing people to mongrels has a long history of use as a racially tinged insult, UK hate speech laws even class it as a racial slur.
