Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

Man I can sorta get stealing signs if they're weird or funny, but stop signs are there for a fucking reason. A more experienced driver might've checked the road even if they hadn't seen a sign (there's a couple roads without signs round where I learned to drive and my driving instructor taught me how to deal with that, yay for mandatory driving lessons and exam with a state-certified instructor before you're allowed behind a wheel, although there's a joke in my family that bad drivers got their license by mail-order), but teenagers might not, espc if they rely on such signs because they're not experienced...

 

It's like Fucking, Austria.

 

:D

 

holy HELL that is super rad

 

I meant both stealing the signs and filming it. I can't imagine stealing in the first place, but if you're going to do it at least keep it a secret. It's just so

 

I used to live near a Sesame Street and the sign got stolen all the fucking time

 

following up on fucking, austria: apparently the only crime that has been reported there is sign theft, and they've had to actually cement all the signs that say "fucking" on them into the ground

 

All this sign stealing talk made me remember something I heard when I was younger. My mom was dating this guy who lived in a gated community that had a statue of a panther on a rock by the entrance? It was (I think?) at least a couple hundred pounds but one night someone stole it.

 

Okay, unrelated to sign-stealing but I made a video for my art class and I'm very proud of it.

(There is some loud bleeping due to me including my last name in the original)

 

Everyone should know about the existence of this book

ETA: oops should probably have mentioned it's a little nsfw

Edited much later to add: apparently a disappointing read. You've let us all down, Stix Hiscock.

 

I'm sorry if I'm being a jerk today, I'm not mad at any of you, and I don't mean to be taking it out on you.

 

My brother-in-law just finished his master's degree and I'm envious.

 

I need scientists to invent a way to give and receive hugs over the internet

 

a news broadcast made entirely of nicoles

(camera pans over to show the studio crew. everyone there is also nicole)

(the twilight zone theme is playing but its some kind of cool remix)

 

I was actually planning to do something like that
except I ran out of time

 

'Tsugi hivemind help me out --

I have a line from a.. movie? Show? stuck in my head and I can't work out what it's from and it is driving me nuts. So, okay, I know there's person A who, I think, fails to save person B. And then person C, who is one of person B's loved ones, says in a tone of fury and sadness "then what is the POINT of you," or perhaps "then what is even the POINT of you."

googling is predictably difficult, pls help

 

@blue Doctor Who, from the episode Amy's Choice?

 

YES, i think that's it! thank you!!

 

"Amy: Save him. You save everyone. You always do. That’s what you do.
Doctor: Not always. I’m sorry.
Amy: Then what is the point of you?"
