Africa, surprising nobody, continues to be Africa.

THAD EDIT: South African police murder striking miners, charges other striking miners for it.  You know link policy; follow it.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

"Cartoonishly evil rich guy spends 50k crafting a revenge youth baseball team for his 10 year old son"

Kind of a shame this got shut down, really.  The world needs more overfunded elite Cobra Kai motherfuckers for the scrappy team of misfits from the goondocks to defeat against all odds.

Mitt Romney wants airplane windows to roll down in case of fire so people can breathe more easily

Well, there goes the much stated* notion that Romney's smart but running a bad campaign.

*Or at least I've heard it said fairly often in political punditry attempting to be 'neutral'.

I can't see the video with the post; is it possible he was making another one of his dumb jokes?

Joking or not, I read the quote in Fred Willard's voice.

I think Willard would do a great Romney impression, except he's way too charming and likeable.

New York Mag says it was a joke.

Not that it's a very GOOD joke -- and I'm not sure making jokes about your wife being in a plane that is on fire is in the best taste -- but that's the narrative that makes most sense to me at this point.

Tragically, his awkward, meandering speech pattern makes humor imperceptible.

Yeah, I figured the Romney campaign would say that, but then I realized, that's not much of a save! I mean, what's worse in a presidential candidate: That he doesn't understand how planes work, or that he doesn't understand how jokes work? And as Thad pointed out, there's extra horror points for it being 'jokes about your wife when she might die'.

Army soldier tries to cure hiccups, shoots friend

Quote
In an apparent attempt to scare him and make the hiccups go away, Myers allegedly pointed a handgun at Young's face and pulled the trigger. The newspaper said Myers told police he thought the gun was loaded with dummy rounds.

Not even members of the army are smart enough to use guns.

I will freely admit that the army is fulla fools, but that guy just threw every bit of firearm training he ever had as a soldier right out the fucking window.

That the people who wind up in infantry are doing stuff like this irregulary enough to make it news is actually kind of a positive mark for the Army's training ability.

Actually he's a specialist rather than a corporal, so he's probably not infantry.  Likely some supply chucklefuck.  Those assholes ain't got no discipline.  I should know, I was one of them.

Yeah, my inclination would be to point to the 99.999% of army dudes who don't deliberately ignore all their firearms training, rather than make a broad generalization that there is no such training.

My point was not that the army was incompetent. My point was that even the people viewed as the most elite and well trained will still point a gun at someone's face and pull the trigger.

For the record, a guy once picked up a gun off a coffee table, waved it around, pointed it at me and said "Gotcha" before laying it back down. Later found out that he thought it was "Just a lighter" and wasn't sure why he hadn't pulled the trigger to try and get it to light. So thus when I read stories about people who ARE trained in guns doing that kind of shit, I think it shows that maybe humans aren't quite ready for the ability to shoot at each other?

If you've ever worked a Customer service job, you should have known that. Judging anything, especially people, by the lowest common denominator seems to be a poor way of going about things. There will always be *that guy,* but he's called *that guy* because he is an outlier.
