It's NATIONAL HOTDOG DAY, mother fuckers! (I must be losing my edge, because I couldn't find one picture of a hotdog stuffed in an Asian woman's ass. I may also have selective interpretation for this occasion.)
I wish there was an after clip for this photo, only good things came of this I'm sure. That photo may actually define stupid, seriously.
According to my Facebook feed, some of my Facebook friends have "liked" Facebook on Facebook. I fucking quit. I don't even want to be part of this society any more.
You see that cute little critter, kids? if you spooked Rocky Raccoon there he could tear apart a pit-fighting dog. They are guillotines with running back-agility. HIDE.
I am seriously considering deleting my account, between my dumbshit cousins spouting the latest "false flag" bullshit and the relentless amounts of stupid I see everyday it is just no longer appealing. Now get off my fucking lawn
I am beyond ready for football to start. Finally broke down and just bought all brand new tailgate stuff instead of patching it together every year. Plus the whole we're obviously going to win it all thing. Spoiler
I'm going for a massage today. Last time I was there she asked if I wanted my stomach done and I said no. She then said at some point I should as "it really gets things moving." Was that supposed to encourage me to do it? Because I've pretty much decided I'm never getting it done. Ever. Plus yesterday I had a final checkup with my doctor from my surgery and he didn't like the way one part of my scar looked so he offered to laser it. I now look like I have a black penis and balls tattoed on my belly. That doesn't exactly look like "faint bruising that will go away in a day or two." Thanks doc.
So, another plane went missing. Can someone explain to me why all black boxes aren't relaying their contents back to land-based towers remotely on a consistent basis? Surely we have that technology. Edit: Apparently the plane went down. Christ.
Florida strikes again... Apparently he went out to buy her beer and came back empty handed because it was Christmas Eve evening. That'll teach him to plan ahead next time. And apparently she's from the great state of South Carolina. I thought it was Tampa because of the news station.
All this has taught me was to not fly smaller foreign carriers. United may suck ass at times, but I feel safer with their planes and pilots. And I love how people flip out about air travel being scary or unsafe when stuff like this happens. The number of domestic US and Canada air accidents in the last decade is minute.
There is a lot of "new" technology that has been developed over the past 30 years that could make black boxes more useful. Like flotation. Or GPS. Or video recording of cockpit, crew and passenger areas. All that is needed is for every major aviation bureaucracy to agree. I'm shocked that they agreed to paint the things orange. Read more here
Yes, we do have the technology. We also have the technology to put a man on the moon, but that doesn't mean we can afford to put more men on the moon, or that we even want to. At the end of the day, the "black box" is a "nice-to-have", not a "need-to-have". Sure, it helps figure out what went wrong in order to help out crash investigations, but if the whole plane goes missing over an ocean, do we REALLY need to know what happened? Really, other than the family of those lost on the plane, and the airline itself, who really cares what happened to it? This whole waste of hundreds of millions of dollars to find the Malaysian airliner is laughable, in my opinion. The only reason why it's "important" is that the 24hr news channels made it seem important because they needed something to fill the dead air on their news broadcasts.
Airlines have to be one the cheapest, most corner-cutting corporations that there is. Spirit wants to charge you for your carry-on. Ryanair wants to charge you to use the fucking bathroom during flights. Shitty comfort, half-sized drinks, etc. Another airline wants to eliminate the co-pilot and get this-- a flight attendant with basic flying skills will be the only back-up. Plus the added bonuses of many pilots being paid fuck-all to hold people's lives in their hands and deliver them safely again and again. It's funny that with all this cheapskate behaviour they spend the money to make sure every seat has two illuminated and glossy "No Smoking" signs because of course we'd never know not to smoke on an airplane. "There's NO SMOKING? Christ, you blink and two decades later our rights are taken away!"
Headline of the day from WHERE ELSE: You fucking spoil us, Sunshine State. I suspect Black Jesus to be directly involved in this one.
