Westworld. I started watching it twice, and both times I thought it was really good until I ran out of patience about not knowing what the hell was going on.

Yeah, thanks for asking. We found him deeply burrowed in a box of Christmas decorations in the back of our closet. He was traumatized, but he was safe

Within a few days, someone had let themselves into the apartment and patched the holes and replaced the fridge.

It was a really strange situation. The cops kicked in our door, pointed guns at us, and screamed at us to get out of the apartment. My girlfriend had the foresight to grab her purse on the way out, but I didn't have my wallet or shoes.

They escorted us out of the complex, and I realized they weren't going to let us back in after a short while. I asked a cop for some info, and he told me we weren't allowed back in, and he couldn't give a timeline, but to watch the news if I wanted an update. I asked him where I should watch the news, and he told me to get out of his face lmao

We made arrangements to hang out at a friend's place for a few hours, and when we checked back on the complex, they had blocked off the whole street. We couldn't approach anyone without them getting super aggressive and telling us we couldn't be there.

We stayed the night at a different friend's place, and tried to go home again around noon the next day. Our door was wide open, our cat was missing, our shit was tossed around, and there were a couple of evidence markers strewn about. After a bit, someone told us that they were still collecting evidence and cleaning up, and that we had to leave for a few hours.

That was the only sort of official conversation we ended up having with anyone about the whole ordeal. We were never contacted by the cops or the apartment management about it directly, but a week later we found out everyone in the complex got 4 days taken off their rent for that month. Cool, I guess.

I have a friend who passes out every time he gets his blood drawn. He's like a deflating balloon.

He's diabetic and has to get blood work done every so often, and he always warns the person taking his blood that he's going to pass out for a second, and it's no big deal, but they always act surprised and panic when it happens.

The cops had a shoot out with my neighbor in the apartment next to mine. I wasn't positive it was gunfire, and I walked into my living room to get a better assessment. I was about a foot away from whizzing bullets, but I still wasn't 100% sure lol. I decided to not risk it and take cover on the floor of my bathroom, until about 20 minutes later when the cops busted my door down and kicked me out of my apartment for 2 days. When I came back, I had 17 bullet holes in my wall (all from the cops) and my fridge and cabinets were all shot to hell. I definitely almost died that day

Maybe he buys a new gun each time

Are they actually imitating you, or are they just watching TV at normal TV-watching hours?

I think the Documentary Now! episode, "Juan Likes Rice and Chicken" is better than Jiro Dreams of Sushi

Also Matt's mentor is called Stick, and the turtles have Splinter

Would you tell someone that you'd bang them or date them if you didn't like them?

Is that not a thing people do?

Tastes like sugary water.

 

I did a bit of experimenting and I thought I'd share the results
