I know he's Australian. I was suggesting he use his talents on another dictator. And yeah, I'm pretty sure the world DOES revolve around the US. That's the problem. But thanks for the passive aggressive response.

You might have answered in general thread instead of answering Maalus in the thread about Australian comedian

The Killdozer

Heemeyer held various grudges against town officials, neighbors of his muffler shop, the local press, and other Granby residents. Over about eighteen months, Heemeyer secretly armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete.

On Friday, June 4, 2004, Heemeyer used the bulldozer to demolish the Granby town hall, the house of a former mayor, and several other buildings. He killed himself after the bulldozer became stuck in a hardware store he was destroying. No one else was injured or killed.

The townspeople play so innocent in this story. I've lived in small towns and see right through their bullshit. The only reason they get away with it is the other party is dead and can't defend himself.

My landlord was sexually harassing my neighbor with threats to raise rents if she didn't 'give it up'

So me and 4 of my friends took apart his car and broke into his apartment and mostly reassembled it in his living room

Cars are unibody these days. You and four of your friends carried an entire chassis through a human-sized door? Did you remove the doors? Did you remove the windshield? Did you move the engine and trans too? Did you carry the whole subframe together, or? How'd you get the lift in the house? Did you rent any tools?

...now, I'm not calling you a liar, but barring a 90's Miata, I dunno, bro. I just don't know, bro.

How would you even do this? Hilarious though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

One of my friends was a car guy and he brought a pair of compressors and some air tools. Mostly it was just us carrying away what he and his gf kept pulling off.

Stuart Semple hates Anish Kapoor. He hates him so much that he requires those who purchase his paints to sign that they are not Anish Kapoor, are not buying them for Anish Kapoor, and will do everything they can to make sure they do not end up in the possession of Anish Kapoor.

Semple is metal as fuck. He made the Pinkest Pink after Kapoor bought exclusive artistic rights to Vantablack, then after Kapoor taunted Semple with a picture of his middle finger dipped in Pink, Semple made Diamond Dust, which is glitter made out of literal glass shards. He also made Black 2.0 and later on Black 3.0 because fuck Anish Kapoor.

It's not just Anish Kapoor he's against; he's against the whole monopolization of art materials and colours. He made TIFF Blue (versus Tiffany Blue), Easy Klein (versus International Klein Blue), and even Freetone (versus Adobe and Pantone).

2007 starbucks, AZ. If a customer was an asshole, the worker they were an asshole to would request a restock of the sugar free classic so the Barista on bar could hear. There was no sugar free classic syrup. The drink would be made decaf.

It's petty, but....dont be a dick

The name of that barista was Satan.
