The local dollar stores over here have brand-name stuff, sometimes for the same price, sometimes more expensive (dollar stores are up around 3-4 dollars max now around here) but you get decent stuff for cheap. I recently got a massive pile of graphic novels at a local one for less than 30 bucks.

I worked in the states on an H1-B visa for a time; when pressed I would tell people I was on a SuperModel Visa, because that is what the paperwork said (Models, Nurses and Skilled workers)

For a brief time, *I* was a Super Model.

Some owls; sure. But you can hear them on cold nights, the hiss of them.

Like a Cucumber, as in cool.as.a.

Also long, green and fulla seed. Like Ya momma.

As progressive and sex positive as I try to be, a career in porn still seems like a poor life choice.

Enjoying sex and letting others pay to watch that is a poor choice? Don’t choke on those pearls. I know a number of “porn professionals” and not one of them made a poor life choice; they made the choice that was…

He’s Shkotish.

The Irony is I think they *do* know that they are deficient in some manner; but blame the world for not making their brand more attractive, instead making physically and/or emotionally attractive people more easily able to find a person or persons to be intimate with.

Yet still wants to denigrate the whole concept because he doesn’t seem to actually understand it.

“Everyone has fucking depression and anxiousness.”

Nope, no they don’t and I would bet he has no idea what either are in real life.

I certainly didn’t understand the difference between depression and just feeling down and anxiety vs worrying.

In July 2010, the Rhode Island Board of Economic Development approved a $75 million guaranteed loan to 38 Studios. 38 Studios promised to bring 450 jobs to the state by the end of 2012. In May 2012, 38 Studios defaulted on its loan from the state of Rhode Island and failed to meet payroll obligations to its…

The craziest thing about the IT world is how it’s treated like all IT workers are highly paid (not) and highly skilled (what) and that the job is easy (do math all day and because it’s math it must be easy, because you don’t have to lift things, yes?) and YET people who do hard work that requires them to risk their…

When Zellers was just on the path to dying and not yet in the throes I was in the Electronics dept one weekend and came across new in box shrinkwrapped DOS games in 2009-2010. It was strange, they wanted 30+ dollars for them.

It was like stepping backwards into time.

I might suggest up the anus of an anti-droid bigot, but they would have to remove or move to the side the stick that is up there already. =)

Anyone who hired this guy for interactive content should have their head examined, up/down to scroll left or right, okay, but keyboard down to go up? HERESY!

Does the Roomba have memories and recall and emotions? Threepio and R2 both appear to have actual agency, which makes them closer to sentient beings than my Dog; who I left have things of their own. I wouldn’t trust my dog to deliver a poo to my back yard without some guidance, but those droids are capable of making…

You know what makes me happier about this story; that I read about it on Jezebel and not on my news feed with the Daily Mail or The Telegraph or (shudder) the Sun going on about it.

With none of my reliably UKIP supporting family remarking on it at all.

I’ve just finished this trilogy and while I liked it; I couldn’t get a few things out of my skull.

1) The Finger licking, in the first two books the author lingers on characters licking their fingers. It’s almost a fetish and it took me out of the books. I have to assume someone mentioned it, because it’s absent in the…

Give it more time and another chance, I had to go at it twice to enjoy it, but I felt rewarded for sticking to it. It’s a good Super Powers in the Realish world show and treats the concept fairly well (if a touch melodramatic and low dimiensionally)

is single google search turned up the titular chars in while space gear, the lady with her boobs encased. so fair play to maintain the costumes in the same spirit while making them less 70s/80s chic

I would suggest that they still think of it as “anonymous” for some reason. “No one takes what is said on here seriously, it’s all banter”
