What everyone assumed was brilliant literary technique was actually just dreadful writing But it worked. I have to credit him there. No other book or narrative fiction made me want to quit life the way The Road did. There should be a warning label on that book for suicidal people because if I had ever been suicidal in life, I feel like that novel would have gotten the job done.

Packerraymond Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Late to the airplane thing, but I'm 6'6 so I live this on every flight. A true veteran tall person is used to being uncomfortable at every stadium, vehicle back seat, movie theatre (before the dream loungers), etc... That guy throwing the temper tantrum is a disgrace to tall people. You're tall, you're better at sports, have an easier time attracting the opposite sex, can see through crowds, can reach just about anything, just a better genetic specimen in general. Let the short people enjoy their perks. Recline away. I'll trade my 4 hours of being crushed like a sardine for a lifetime of being tall. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm with you with the plane seats (you buy a ticket to as seat than can recline, not to one that cannot), there are very few good things about being tall nowadays. 1- It's easier attracting girls if you are not an ugly ****. If you are an ugly **** it doesn't matter how tall you are. 2- You can see through crowds while seating on some elses shoulders. 3- Being able to reach about anything means you are the one in charge on reaching about every single thing your mum and granma cannot. 4- You are not a better specimen. You die younger in average. 5- You need to spend more money on food and drinks (I don't get drunk unless I drink 10+beers). 6 -You clothes weight more when you flight. There's pretty much nothing good about being taller nowadays since only very few people take advantage of that type of physicality nowadays.

They'll never do it because they'd whoop *** but it would push the NBA guys. But it def would not solve your issue lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until somebody can do a flip, or shove the ball up his *** and dunk with his *** over the rim, there is nothing new. So we get the same tired 360 that we have seen since 1989, and the guys friends all jump around holding up 10 signs and high five like it was new, also the one "clever" friend that has two 10 signs and overlaps them so it says 100, GENIUS! I accidentally saw one dunk this year and was instantly nauseated by the entire event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not really 720 but Jesus. Has nobody tried this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakeshoppe Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I don't watch basketball but I say get stupid with it. Let someone bring in a half-pipe. put a pool underneath it with a high dive. Dunk off a moving golf-cart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 A new type of immune cell which kills most cancers has been discovered by accident by British scientists, in a finding which could herald a major breakthrough in treatment. Researchers at Cardiff University were analysing blood from a bank in Wales, looking for immune cells that could fight bacteria, when they found an entirely new type of T-cell. That new immune cell carries a never-before-seen receptor which acts like a grappling hook, latching on to most human cancers, while ignoring healthy cells. In laboratory studies, immune cells equipped with the new receptor were shown to kill lung, skin, blood, colon, breast, bone, prostate, ovarian, kidney and cervical cancer.

ThatJerkDave Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Scratch that, it is like watching the Tebow Broncos. You only have a chance to score if there is a good return and a broken play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
