  • I really hope that Fleshlight model told her dad and brothers that she was the model when she did it. Otherwise I could see a rather awkward moment as one of them watches this video, then looks forlornly at their personal Fleshlight...
  • That would be hilarious.

    The plant manager at my work wants to block all radio transmissions into or out of his facility. The main reason for this? He gets annoyed when we have minutes of downtime (rare, but it happens) and people use their phones.

    He won't win the fight but it speaks volumes about the kind of person he is for even considering it as an option.

    Also, EDIT:

    My thing of the day is this machine. I need one in my life STAT.

    This had me grinning for the entire video.

    Did you make that for art and or your home?
    Pretty awesome depiction of Venom.

    Link removed because as Churba has shown... theft of credit.

    Yes, I know it is a FB link but I can't find the video anywhere else. It is very short and anything I write here to describe it will either sound like clickbait or spoil it. Yes, I'm looking at you Scott.

  • Ah, it's Richard Wiseman's Assumptions video, with the intro and outro cut off.

  • So it's an example of people stealing content created by others.

    Yep. A lot of facebook pages do it, chop the intros and whack the videos up on their page to get likes and shares. A lot of people do it to try and sell pages to PR companies. Try, being the operative word.
  • This is also why the gold rush is over.

    Just saw it on Reddit. Sorry, don't have any closer info on the piece.
  • I found a song annotation website on crack.
    Here is an example of a page on 99 Problems by Jay Z. It basically works like a wiki.

    However there is a further link to an extensive (about 5000 words) essay by a Professor of Law. The essay is targeted at cops and perpetrators solely based upon verse 2 and how it addresses the 4th amendment.

    I think wiki like metadata for audio files would be pretty interesting, they could simply be a URL in the tag for the file. However I'm not sure how interesting it would be to the general audience

    Here is an actual picture of actual Australians actually voting.

    And yes, I got my democracy sausage. It was delicious.

    Edit - And about five minutes after I ended up getting soaked to the skin in a sudden storm, with thunder, lightning, and more importantly, a blizzard of very painful hail the size of large marbles, as I ran about getting the cars under cover.

  • Dude, you guys get sausage for voting? Warm my kangaroo up, I'm moving down under!

    Usually get a sausage in a bun, chocolates, tea or coffee and biscuits.

    Except over here we don't get the tropical weather and when it hails, it makes the news.

    Sometimes, news outlets even report on it.

    Interesting fact - there's a measurable and quite noticeable drop in votes at polling locations without democracy sausages, if the choice is available between multiple locations, and other locations do have democracy sausages.

    In fact, the lack of sausages can occasionally have dire consequences for a polling location.

    Also, another interesting fact - they're so commonplace that they're mentioned in election law.

    Come on, Voters of America. You're not the first to join us, don't be the last.

  • We only get democracy stickers...
  • We don't even get the stickers. If it wouldn't be seen as vote buying I'd totally set up a grill and hand out democracy sausages outside my polling place.
  • As long as you don't tell them who or what party they should vote for, I can't see how that'd be vote buying.
  • Especially if you only give them to people leaving the polls, like they do in Australia.

    This is outlined in law, funnily enough, and you've got it quite right - you can't give people sausages till after they've voted, barring those who are underage, of course - it's okay to give them the delicious, hot, greasy taste of democracy to prepare them for later life. You can't even sell them, if you're with a political party, though most places giving them out are not.

    Some do sell sausages or other things(like cans of softdrink, or bake sales), but these are only for charity, commercial operations are not allowed.

    Something else - Bunnings, a local hardware store chain, assists charities and community groups by allowing them to hold sausage sizzles right by the entrance, providing them with portable gazebos, gas, and barbecues.
  • One of the few times I wish America's government was more like Australia's.


  • If you made a movie where I was personally the target audience, it would probably look something like this.
