Warning:
Ice Storm In Texas Leads To Deadly 100-Car Pileup.
Yes... 100. That is not a typo and that thumbnail below is a sample of the madness that are the icy Texas roads right now.
EDIT: it was actually 130 cars involved, despite the headline claiming only 100. At least six people currently dead (maybe more) and a shit load of serious injuries and a shit load of destroyed vehicles.
Stay home or you will be at risk for something like this:

Texas roads are fucked up right now. Extremely dangerous.

That's fucking crazy.
I just saw the footage in that video and that truck sliding into those cars looks like something out of a demolition video game. That's fucked up.

South Texas roads will be iced over for the next couple days.

STAY HOME.
I guarantee whatever they pay you isn't going to cover your repair bills for your car and your hospital bills... assuming you even survive. Granted, if there is a hotel nearby within walking distance to your job you could try staying at a hotel, but are you being paid well enough to afford the hotel bills for a few days and still have significant profit left over?
If not, STAY HOME.

Sopranos (I finished seasons 1 and 2 and I'm starting season 3 on HBO Max) and Dragon View (a 16-bit action RPG that originally released on SNES, but it got rereleased this year on a cartridge as part of the Piko collection on the Evercade. I'm playing it now on the Evercade).

Tony Soprano and his mafia squad armed with a shit load of guns versus an insane wizard and a shit load of evil creatures and other crazy shit in a medieval setting. I would pay to see that. LOL. I just want to see Silvio from the Sopranos scream out "MOTHER FUCKER!!" at the dragon as the dragon responds back at him with a cold, harsh stare. LOL.

I freaking hate politics.

@wolfy42

I 100% agree with you. Honestly, I hate both democrats and republicans. All they do is do "pissing contests" with each other. Meanwhile, normal people get screwed (EX: not receiving a stimulus package while the two major political sides scream at each other over who is better). The entire thing is stupid.

What's the point in ranking them, they're all despicable monsters. Also R Kelly groomed and abused kids. He's right up there with Jared, if we're keeping score. Spacey is also batshit insane.

Only reason I didn't rank R.Kelly higher is because public knowledge of him being a child abuser was known for close to 20 years before he was finally arrested and now faces serious jail time. He actually married famous singer Aaliyah when she was only 15 during the 90's but I don't remember finding out about that till about 2000 or 2001. And then there is the 2003 skit Dave Chappelle did on R. Kelly (I'll post below), which exposed R.Kelly even more. While R.Kelly did HORRIBLE things, I don't rank him as high because his horrible shit was "an open secret". Everyone knew about his horrible shit (it wasn't like the others which came as a surprise shock, especially when it came to Jared and Cosby) which begs the question "Why the fuck wasn't R.Kelly thrown in prison decades earlier?!?".

Also, as horrible as R.Kelly is, Jared is much, MUCH worse. R.Kelly went after 14 and 15 year olds, but Jared was going after kids as young as SIX years old (his primary age range he targeted was 6 to 12, even though he had interactions with girls about 14 / 15 as well).
Regardless, I will agree that ALL of them are monsters.
With that said, below is Dave Chappelle's parody of R.Kelly which exposed R.Kelly even more to the public. I remember R.Kelly being publically pissed about this back in 2003. LMAO:

Oh, shit...
I totally forgot about R.Kelly!
R.Kelly was very popular during the 90's. However, it was during the early 2000's when it started becoming public knowledge that he was screwed up and it wasn't till recent years where he is finally paying for it. I would still rank him BELOW Jared, Weinsten, Cosby and Spacey, but R.Kelly is # 5 on my list. I remember back during the 90's when R.Kelly was normal and I believed he could fly.... now all I believe he's capable of is pissing.... WTF. He pissed his career away... literally.

Confidence? It's nothing but an illusion.

It's a tough one.
Cosby was the bigger name.
However, Jared's crimes were MUCH worse.
I have heard people saying Cosby is innocent and that he was set-up and actually provided damn good reasons why he was set-up to the point where part of me thinks Cosby might have been innocent.
One can even make a case for Kevin Spacey's innocence as well since much of his accusations aren't very solid.

Harvey Weinstein is pretty damn guilty and his crimes had an effect on his business and it's employees, which is bad as well. However, I've even heard a FEW people defend him in saying that the acts between him and these women were more consensual than the courts would have you believe and these women, who originally consented, decided to get revenge on him.

But Jared?
Holy fucking shit.... that bastard Jared...
Jared is 100% guilty as all hell with his own words on audio where he confesses to everything in disgusting detail (this was BEFORE he was arrested and he is laughing and gloating over all of his evil shit he did). Because of this hard evidence (and other hard evidence found on his computer), no one is defending him.
Also, he caused irreversible damage to an entire corporation which employs thousands (Subway). Many people lost their jobs indirectly because of Jared because of how bad Subway got damaged and some Subways went out of business. Subway didn't know about Jared's evil side (almost no one knew), so it sucks that they have to continue to do "damage control" to their brand.

Because of all of this, I rank them in this way:

1) Jared (he's # 1 and everyone else is not even close for the reasons I stated above)
2) Harvey Weinsten
3) Bill Cosby
4) Kevin Spacey

Also...

Amber Herd did a lot of fucked up shit... but is still going to be in Aquaman 2. WTF. Regardless, she's # 5 on my list.
But Amber Herd has potential to move up my list to # 4 or # 3 if she ever gets fired and goes to jail.

^THIS.
The Nintendo 64 controller is an excellent controller. And Nintendo went out of their way to show people all the different ways to hold that damn controller. This below is an example. It came with the Nintendo-64 game F-Zero X. It seriously shows you how you how to hold the controller (this isn't complicated at all. If five year old me from the late 90's can figure this out, anyone can figure this out):



And as seen here from this 90's news program, this little 1st grader was able to figure out how to use the controller properly while playing Super Mario 64, even without reading the manual:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtL5YnozEHU

^ALL THIS.
It was extremely common knowledge back then during the 90's and 2000's on how to properly hold the Nintendo-64 controller. Most people who are complaining about how they didn't know how to hold it have either never held one or picked up one for the first time during the 2010's with no proper background knowledge.

For example, the commercial to Super Mario 64, which aired TONS and TONS of times on TV during 1996, shows how to hold the controller properly for that game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vET-iI33fLM

Even in this other news report from 1996, they show a group of pre-teens inside a normal house (one of the houses of the news reporters) with a female pre-teen holding the controller the correct way while playing Nintendo 64's Super Mario 64. Holding the Nintendo 64 controller the correct way was common knowledge back then:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZsDwdUqPw0

Even the damn instruction manuals showed how to hold the controller, as seen below. Some games offered BOTH the first and second control schemes below, which was awesome if you were a left handed player and wanted different ways to control a game:



This is one of the earlier pics used in some manuals. They would do away with the bottom labels as more games started giving different options on how to play their games (which was great for both right and left handed players and people that felt more comfortable with different control settings). For example, the Turok games, which are first person shooters, gave people the option of using the first and second pic controls. Goldeneye's default setting was the first pic, etc, etc.

Everyone is talking about the Jaguar controller, and rightfully so... but what if you wanted the pro controller, with more buttons?!?

@The_Popo

That six button Atari Jaguar controller is 100 billion times superior to the original shitty Atari Jaguar controller. The D-pad on that six button controller is pretty good (unlike the thumb destroying D-pad the original three button controller had). Also, the six buttons makes fighting games on the Jaguar far more fun and the two left and right shoulder buttons on that six button controller made strafing in first-person shooters on Jaguar like Alien vs Predator a hell of a lot better. So yeah, if one wants a controller for the Jaguar, that's the controller to get since it's a good controller that improves gameplay and doesn't send you to the hospital for a fucked up thumb. It's worth the expensive price.

This is the only correct answer.
Some people in this topic don't know what an Atari Jaguar console is, so allow me to quickly explain. Atari Jaguar (with it's shitty thumb destroying controller above) came out during holiday season 1993 and ended during very early 1996 and was a "64-bit" console which at best could put out 32-bit looking games and most of it's games were lazy 16-bit ports from the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo and while it had a FEW really awesome games, the majority of it's games sucked ass and this would end up being Atari's final console since it only sold an abysmal 250,000 units (it didn't even comes close to breaking one million). It was destroyed by the original Playstation during holiday season 1995 for damn good reason.
This is an example of some of it's better games. While these games are awesome, that Jaguar controller sucks ass. They released a new six button controller with an improved D-pad that didn't destroy your thumb during late holiday season 1995, but by then the console was dying a well deserved fiery death.

Alien vs Predator (this game kicks ass and shows off what the Jaguar hardware could do when properly utilized and is exclusive):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7_IF_ZvqR8

Doom (Jaguar had the best console version of Doom during it's time):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCMwHgvq9Ro

Jaguar was awesome when it came to first person shooters. Too bad the original three button controller sucked.

Okay, so is she alive or is she dead because there are several sources claiming she's dead and others saying she is alive and others saying they are confused and don't know. Which is it?

If only we had done that in the first place. America's response to the coronavirus is going to be used in history books as an example of what not to do

^ ALL THIS.
I remember back in March we went into a lockdown and all we had to do was stay indoors (or in some others cases, wear a mask and do social distancing) for a few weeks and we would have been good.
What happens?

Two weeks... TWO mother fucking weeks into quarantine, people are bitching and complaining and protesting about being locked down.... many over political reasons... which then causes a domino effect of shit show after shit show to happen.
And because it's a fucking election year, BOTH of the main political sides (and I am placing TONS of blame on BOTH sides) are playing a pissing contest with each other while people get sick and some are even dying.
What the flying fuck!!!

Even from a financial standpoint, I eventually got unemployment (TONS of extra money with it) a $1,200 stimulus check, and there are tons of ways to get financial assistance if one has a business or needs a little extra help.
But no, some people couldn't stand being in doors for more than two mother fucking weeks and decided to fuck everything up in multiple ways for everyone else (even resulting in others losing their unemployment as they were prematurely forced back to work in the middle of a fucking pandemic).

This coronavirus problem is a MEDICAL issue, this never should have been turned into a political issue. Because it got turned into a political issue, that's why this virus that should have vanished (or at least permanently flattened hard enough to the point of being irrelevant and rare) by the end of May is currently out of control and appears that it may get much worse and threatens to make more people sick and kill others.
