The story is way more insane, the Greek messenger, Pheidippides, did two runs, a round trip from Athens to Sparta and back, like 480km through mountains in two days, then (during the battle of Marathon) his final run from Marathon to Athens (40km), the one he is famous for, saying "Nike! " meaning Greek "we won!" before collapsing and dying.

I would take the $500 upfront and just log in to Squarespace or whatever website building service there is, do a simple design, tell him he needs to pay this subscription, argue with him and dad why there must be monthly or annual fees and they could have done this themselves for cheaper, whichever way they chose to pay the subscription or not I still get $500 for 2 hours work and the knowledge my father won't bother me again with website designs

I love how we have to protect Taiwan against Chinese annexation because the World relies on their chips, but when extremely large corporations basically take away the World's supply of chips it is supposed to be fine.

At least with the Crypto and now the AI craze we are at least getting used to shortages from the eventual war of the chips

The obvious one for me would be Wolf of Wall Street. Clearly tried to exaggerate excess and hedonism, but people praised the lifestyle and tried to think "that is what I want to be one day"

Fucking disgusting piece of shit, she only found out after police arrested him for spying on women in change rooms with a spy pen that has a camera. Once the searched their home were the photos of the multiple rapes on his wife discovered. He has been drugging her by mixing it in her food. Some of the 72 men, like ten of them have been doing this multiple times.

Throw the book at them, make an example out of each of them to send a message. One of the co accused even said along the lines of "she is his wife to do with as he please".

Send them to the worst prisons, and for fuck sakes make sure this victim sues everything from all these fuckers so that she will be looked after and can recover and if possible heal from this horrible ordeal. I am not sure if it was a small favour that she does not remember those assaults.

You know we still xray people at diamond mines here in South Africa. Try visiting a De Beers mine and see for yourself.

Conservatives: get a job you homeless, like all the hard working people. Workers: so you care about workers rights and a fair living wage? Conservatives: get out of here with your socialism..... And the list continues

I liked the prequel because of the mirror between Luke and Anakin. Luke had friends, a caring loving family, was born into royalty but grew up in the slums, his teachings were to be his most self and he had agency in how he wanted his destiny to turn out, not being pressed into a box of expectations and limitations. The list goes on but I always loved the idea George Lucas had, felt like he just needed to solidify his ideas a bit more

If they are doing work, they should be paid

After school satan is an initiative from The Satanic Temple, or TST, they are different from the Church of Satan, like Catholic and Protestant are different. TST is basically the politically active one and they do not follow the satanic bible but rather have the seven tenets

Living in South Africa, I had to reluctantly get a gun, hate it but after they shot my neighbours leg off through her daughter's window I knew I had no choice because I had 3 other women living with me.

I will call it a successful gun ownership if I never have to use it, I really do not wish to be placed in that situation.

Having seen people be killed by firearms in front of me, the police's apathy as they were giggling at me when they saw my red eyes and saying it's what rural poor people do (I think it was their way of comforting me).

Some gun owners are reluctant owners, but really when you have as high a violent crime and murder rate as we do, you have to make a difficult choice.

I think step porn is so popular because it basically establishes a relationship beforehand, even though it is familial. This gives our guy or whatever proxy for the audience they use a preexisting relationship (creates a taboo and and a reason why they know each other), proximity and opportunities for interaction, no need to go to a bar or whatever (makes the script easy to explain why they are forced together in a situation.

I think it makes creating porn easier since it quickly explains why these two or more people are around each other in a lonely house or hotel room (ease of filming venue), gives them a preexisting relationship with maybe hidden desire (no wooing or any modern prerequisites before meeting a potential sexual partner), it's a bit taboo but easily ignored by the majority of the audience, and finally an established easy premise to follow and write with a lot of variation to the formula.

What I love about hippos is that they are too heavy to swim, they basically sink to the bottom where they walk and eat all the vegetation

The Four Seasons Landscaping Company was one of the greatest comedic gifts the universe has ever bestowed upon us. Glad to see they are still capitalising on the strongman

This is like the best advertisement ever for the brand. Like they get the infamy without killing someone, basically became certified cool like the warning sticker on music albums in the 90s

If you want to know how stuffed a cage can be, try boarding a mine cage after the shift is over, everyone wants to get out as soon as possible. People at the back usually take bracing stances because the shit will be squeezed out of them. Ours we stand, no squatting, but there are still two or three levels.

I heard, so full rumor mode here, Vin Diesel even chose chronicles of riddick above 2fast2furious and semi funded the third film. There is also a video game and an anime dark fury which is awesome

This is why I think motorcycles have like 6 times the fatality rate compared to cars. Young stupid men, sorry ladies most of you are too responsible, maybe there are stupid ladies and I am a bit sexist, but young stupid men being able to afford a motorcycle because it is cheaper than dirt and has the power to weight ratio of a supercar. Then thinking we were born different, we have been riding this amazing piece of machinery for a year now, clearly we are special, a motoGP driver in another life (PS they plan to drop at least 6 times a year), we are the the blessing from the road Gods, we become cocky, we show off... And we actually make it, then after the first time it is like chasing the dragons tail, that adrenaline rush, and every time we push our limits a bit more, become more confident. Then we push and .... fuck what was that wobble, suddenly everything goes into slow-mo, "FUCK!!! I am falling toward that barrier. Dead.

It happens so fast. You are lucky if you slide, like this guy did, it means you are not coming to a sudden stop. Skin regrows actually back amazing, around the hips are the most painful.

Driving motorcycles, especially litre bikes, unfortunately feeds into the power fantasy. It is addictive. I drive mine everyday and still I promise myself to drive nicely, yet when I overtake my lizard brain takes over and I grin from ear to ear as everyone basically stands still as I overtake three cars in less than a second. I know I am going to fall and hit the road one day. I an a stupid young man driving a motorcycle. But I spend basically a shit load of money on my gear, ask me why and I will show you the places where you can see hou i paid for that knowledge with a pound of flesh. Wear your gear and try to be humble, watchout for cars even if you have right of way, graveyard is full of bikers who had right of way. Cars have a steel box protecting you, all you have is a bit of animal skin or composite material and a hard shell with Styrofoam keeping you alive
