Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[TiQuinn]

So, it turns out the real villain of Titanic is Rose.

Rose decides to throw away a $250 million pendant in memory of an unemployed man she slept with exactly once—a man who never even owned the necklace. She completely disregards the fact that the explorer who brought her to the wreck had built his entire career around finding that necklace. Yet, she held onto it for decades, on the off chance she’d end up at the wreck site again, just to chuck it into the ocean for no good reason… and croaks in his bed. Then goes and waltzes passed her husband in the afterlife to meet up with her 3 day fling!

Meanwhile, she conveniently leaves out the part where she let Jack—the “three-day love of her life”—freeze to death because she couldn’t scoot over a bit on the giant door. Oh, and maybe, just maybe, her husband of many years might’ve liked to know she’d been hanging onto a $250 million necklace all that time? How about her granddaughter, who was caring for her? An early retirement fund, anyone?

Look. The real villain of Titanic is the iceberg. Once again, we fail to put the blame on the actual responsible parties. Clearly the ship had the right of way. And it didn’t even stop to help once it’d done all that damage. Rude!

So, going into new threads these days feels like I am going to get a lot of pineapple on my pizza but instead someone throws a bunch of anchovies on my pie about 2 or 3 pages in (sometimes not even a full page).

So frustrating that folks that like anchovies (heretics) cannot stay in their own thread and leave my pineapple loving threads alone. We get it, you enjoy the devils topping instead of the heavenly inspired pineapple and we don't care. There I said it.

Things always get dicey when there hasn't been new news for a while.

Things always get dicey when there hasn't been new news for a while.

And on the occasions where there is new news that seems broadly relevant it'll be all but inescapable.

It's like living next to train tracks: you learn to tune the noise out, and eventually, you stop hearing it altogether.
