Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Judging by the way that piece of shtein was built I question the reliability of said mechanisms. Paid a quarter mil to have their smithereens eaten by some eight eyed deep sea fish.

Also yeah - people have farged Everest up. Its sickening

They were operating it with an xbox controller so not sure much thought went into it.

I read there were like 7-8 failsafes but once the electricity went off they were all useless.  and the doors are bolted on from the outside.

horrible but also pretty rad way to go.

I refuse to click any link about this but I keep seeing enough noise that I've got to ask:

Is there really some kind of plan for Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk to have a fight?  Is this a joke?  For charity?  WTF?

I don't know if it's serious or not but I kinda hope it is and Zuck beats the shtein out of Elon

General_Failure

tl;dr Elon challenged Zuck to a fight over stupid billionaire edgelord reasons, Zuck accepted. Elon's mom said no.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Damn.  It's worse than I thought.

Yo's MOM is involved.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Convicted pedophile, molester and scumbag Larry Nassar was stabbed multiple times in prison. He was at a joint in FLA where they house molesters and other inmates that need to be housed away from gen pop (rats, former cops, etc).

I've got insomnia again. Two nights in a row. I farged up by falling asleep for 20 minutes in my recliner and now I'm farged.
