North Carolina Tar Heels

I'm not talking about your kids going there. I'm talking about just you, for hours on end after work, 3x a week.

it doesn't have much appeal to me in that regard - I just want property values to go up - and maybe get some sidewalks

Jace Conner is a mentally unstable gamer living in his moms basement and a world of delusion.

I stumbled on to him through an article on facebook.. he is getting some notoriety because he has decided a woman who is well known in the "gamer community" (whatever the fuck that is) for speaking out on women issues has earned his wrath and in turn is out to kill him, so he is out to kill her.

Below is a link to the article, but don't go there yet - so I start researching this guy because I'm killing time at work before a meeting and apparently he is extremely homophobic among other things and this group calling themselves "Dick Nation" has took it upon themselves to torment him during his "Fact_Zone" live Skpe shows. So I have a couple of videos where people have recorded his shows and then fucks with him and he loses it. On the one hand, I think its funnier than shit - but only because I don't live anywhere near this guy. If I knew him in real life, I'd want him locked up.

Below is the article on him going psycho over this gamer chick

Dick Nation hacks his website (he calls his online group Deagle Nation)

She's a bit wacky for my taste.

if you're bored - all you ever wanted to know about elevators - New Yorker piece. It was more interesting that I thought it would be - but I don't want to oversell it

That was a good read (The New Yorker delivers again on offbeat topics that are covered well)

1. The author is very good at telling stories and painting pictures with words (particularly like the analogy of the populace oozing across the landscape like oil, if not for elevators)
2. I knew the "Close Door" button did not work!
3. This "over litigious, unreasonable pay out" narrative that exists in this country is a bit overblown. I'm not saying the dude's suit was reasonable, but he certainly was not benefitted by his actions with the courts

The "close door" button works in Canada.

the story has you believe that guy started listening to one too many people that told him he deserved a big payout for his time and suffering. For 41 hours in an elevator he should have received something for negligence, but anything more than low 6 figures is absurd.

I have used those smart elevators before- they work great when there is just a steady stream of people. They are a nightmare when you have a conference center unload and 300 people are trying to get to their rooms.

[AlabamAlum]

Yeah. The Marriott on Canal in NOLA has one of the smart elevators. It's high comedy to get a coffee and watch drunk people try to get to their rooms at night.

Billboard in Greensboro, NC. I suspect he employs the Chewbacca defense

[Bklyn]

That's taking the charge of "zealous advocacy" a little too far.

[DooKSucks]

I am sure the Gestapo...er, I mean the North Carolina State Bar...will be sending him a nice letter soon...

[AlabamAlum]

I'm sure he will argue that he is misunderstood. What he will say is its intent is this:

Just because you [killed someone] doesn't mean you are guilty [of murder].

[Bklyn]

All depends on your definition of "is."

today's PSA. 23 minute documentary. Apparently things have become better in prison

A little late for Hedge though.

Luckily for me (although sadly for purposes of street cred), I was in the top 10-15% of physical specimens when I was in prison. Buncha old, fat fuckers or else mousy little guys. Out of the rest, there were a few pretty stout fellows who were in the weight room all the time, but mostly it was just average guys not looking to get into any kind of trouble, lest their tennis, raquetball and softball privileges be taken away. Ya'll will be happy to know that I did not abuse my position of power and did not terrorize the other inmates. I waited until I got in here to do that...
