I'm trapped here, don't YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

In those days, in those distant days, in those nights, in those remote nights, in those years, in those distant years; in days of yore...

They really wanted to drive home just how old the tale is...

I can actually picture someone making this argument in earnest.

My dad legitimately thinks that's a great action movie. And to be fair, it is.

But he doesn't understand the deeper meanings.

More meat for the grinder is totally just a bad ass thing to say! Not at all like an orphan crushing machine, for sure.

Ah yes, that pursuit and sharing of knowledge known as "paying a shitload of money for the privilege of making a company that ultimately provides nothing of value some extra cash"

I didn't know ml is cool with ultracapitalism as long as it's under the veneer of knawlege.

My mother in law is absolutely convinced that democrats are going to go marching around with guns to drag her and her family out into the street to be executed.

If she realized there was still space to the left of "Democrat" on the politician field she'd have an aneurism.

That and they have way more free time to play endless hours of that game...

I'm not a monkey that dances for coins, if you want to see art go to a museum.

I may have some lasting issues stemming from uncomfortable situations like this that have made me no longer care if people are put off by my reaction when I'm put on the spot. You want to see it? Ask me privately, and I'll show you one on one if you actually care.

No, I'm not bitter about things from my childhood, why do you ask...

I just assume like 75% of the people who read posts like this a believe the poster's intended message simply live in areas with such poor public transport, the idea that there are not only multiple busses running to the same destination, but those busses are full Is simply so alien to them, they just assume something fucky is going on.

I lived in a small city in Ohio, and I gotta say.... It was wild being in Columbus for a convention and being able to catch a bus on my own street within minutes of walking up to the stop, and seeing a mostly full bus.

The few times I used my home city's transportation, I had to leave early enough to walk a good mile to the nearest stop (where I had to wait about 20 minutes since the bus was 10 minutes late), and make all the appropriate transfers so that I get to work on time, and I was one of three people on the bus usually. And I arrived at my destination a full 45 minutes before I needed to be there, but it was that or walk for several hours both ways.

Functional public transport is an alien concept when your nearest neighbor is half a mile down the road.

"she wears that outfit"

Cool libel, Bro.

Seems like a lawyer should have advised against posting that.

"problem with authority" is just What authorities say when what they mean is "constantly questions our reasons and doesn't just immediately do what we SAY exactly as we MEAN it like a ~~good little puppet~~ beloved citizen"
