i was pretty mad that they took out liars dice in rdr 2. its a fun game that few people like/know how to play irl so it was nice being able to play in the game
i’d like to have a cabinet of curiosities
they should make an oceans 11 style ensemble movie where all the countries that bribed eric adams team up to break him out of prison
this is not exactly headline news to most, but the US Forest Service will not be hiring any seasonal employees at all next year, except for firefighters, due to budget constraints. the forest service employs thousands of seasonal workers across the country in trails, maintenance, archaeology, natural resource management and science positions, etc. without seasonals it’ll be a hell of a lot harder to keep the millions of acres of forest service land well maintained - especially considering that many non-fire seasonals are called in to help fight the fires in one way or another when they begin, and since so much FS land can hardly be called “well maintained” already. i have to imagine this will also put a strain on the national park service and other land management agencies who’ll have to deal with thousands of applicants to a far fewer number of jobs - not to mention the seasonals at those agencies who’ll be looking at this and seeing that their departments could be making the same decisions a few years down the road.
as always, congress can spend billions at the drop of a hat for bombing children across the planet, but breaks out the fucking abacus when it comes to hiring people who actually do useful and decent work. wonder how long before they just decide to straight up sell entire forest service ranger districts to timber companies or ranchers. can’t be too long, at this rate!

i remember at the time chuds saying “well you have to hand it to him, he is a hard worker, doing two rallies a day, hillary can’t even go to an event without collapsing afterwards”
buddy of mine was doing ding dong ditch as a kid and a homeowner chased him down the street back to his house. my friend could see a flashlight bobbing as the guy was following him and just assumed it was a regular flashlight but when he got to his door and turned around he saw it was a flashlight attachment on the guy’s pistol. that dude was a cop too.
i found a developed camp someone made in forest service land a couple years ago. they’d brought out a couple couches, built some stairs and a rail into the slope, had a loft in a tree. two old boats that had clearly been worth something at some point were just abandoned out there. there were also a couple dolls heads hanging around, and a rolled up carpet that i was relieved to find was empty. i was working at the time and my crew and i poked around a little bit but didn’t want to run into whoever made it so we left quickly.
another time, i found a beaver skull in a long stretch of protected sand dunes along the coast, far away from creeks or streams or anything that id picture in my mind as beaver habitat. no clue how it got there, but i found tons of bones out in those dunes, without much vegetation it’s pretty easy to find that stuff, but the beaver was the most wtf for sure
also i heard a mountain lion in heat screaming at night one time while a friend and i were about to get high. mustve been within 100 yards, probably closer. thank god we hadn’t started already because if youve never heard a mountain lion scream it sounds just like a person. second we heard it we just took off running, didnt even say anything to each other, pure instinct. that was scary as hell in the moment but pretty cool to have experienced once it was over
every time i’ve bought NA beers in the US i’ve been carded. figured this was already the law

this is the guy who was cranking off in porno stores every single day like 20ish years ago right? some people really are just operating on a completely different level of horney
the most offensive thing about it, aside from jared leto, is that they didn’t get vangelis back to do the st. the original’s soundtrack was incredible but they decided to replace it with generic, boring ass hans zimmer bwaams. even if the rest of the movie was as good as people said it was that alone would drop it like 3 points in my rating
remember a month or so ago when they showed lawrence of arabia in theaters? those were the good old days
as far as 90s Old 97s albums go, Fight Songs > Too Far to Care > Wreck Your Life. all great albums though. love that band
haven’t seen the ocean in a few months. wonder what it’s been up to
it’s done that to me before re: captchas, reloading the page has reset it for me though. logging on to old.reddit even on desktop will take you to a completely separate login page and then when you log in it takes you to your front page (instead of the page you were on before) and on the new reddit site instead of old.reddit. i’ve also noticed it won’t let you browse the site at all on a private browser with a vpn on. it’s becoming more and more obnoxious to use
on the one hand, trump was helping strengthen the chinese military, wrote love letters to kim jong un, and has been endorsed by president xi, but on the other hand, if kamala wins israel won’t exist in 2 years. blessed to have two great candidates, so hard to choose!
tangentially news related - america’s worst magazine, the atlantic, has unveiled next month’s cover. it amazes me that liberals have spent 8 fucking years now convincing themselves that trump is not widely beloved by the entire republican party and that he is instead dragging them along. he had like 90+% approval among republicans during his term! but these fancy lads from the ivies have surrounded themselves with the half-dozen remaining die hard romneyites in the country and believe that they represent the party, not the skidoo dealership heir who blew the family fortune on the iraqi dinar and has been in prison since january 6
