I don't think anyone is saying "you should't buy a camera if you don't want it stolen," they're saying "If you buy a camera, don't whine if it gets stolen because you should have taken steps to protect it like a smart person." I have, my stuff is padlocked now. It sucks that people steal and no one is condoning it,…

Well, it sucks, but technically this is true, if you have a safe full of money, you should expect someone to try and rob you. Neither he nor I is saying this is ideal, it;s just a fact of life here on planet Earth.

The fake interview would have been a lot more funny and less cringeworthy if it was with the photographer who asked her to look like she was almost going to show her pussy.

I am a USAF veteran from Offutt. That was my first duty station.

I'm assuming that's Tammy Faye Bakker at 3 years?

Ironically, this is maybe the one ad that could convince me to try that pizza. But I am weird.

I don't think I've ever wanted to buy a beer for somebody so hard in my entire life

The first two have a lot of extra unnecessary stuff padded in, the third one is practically made up out of whole cloth, without the benefit of Tolkien's ability to craft story and characters. The characters are there just to be there, and the endless fights without consequences are like really well rendered but not…

I was impressed as hell, actually. If I tried to write an article on my phone it would come out reading like a Mad Lib.

It drives me nuts because I have a friend who is convinced she's big because she's worthless because she can't lose pounds like the people on this show, so she gives up. She does fine, with a perfectly acceptable and healthy rate of weight loss that her doctor would be happy about, but she compares herself to the show…

Your screen name is incredibly offensive, tasteless and rude, I love it.

It's entirely possible that all those simmering tensions would just continue to simmer longer until they boiled over into something much worse. Or, maybe not worse, but the same amount of shitiness just spread out over a much longer time. Without WWI the Romanovs might not have fallen, the Hapsburgs might still be…

A far as going back and stopping something bad, I think one of the major lynchpins of the 20th century was the assassination of archduke Ferdinand. Aside from starting WWI which was bad enough on its own, the resulting Treaty of Versailles led almost directly to WWII, and the Sykes-Picot agreement we are still…

Any idea why it's black like that? Is it supposed to be, or does that just come from sitting there for years and never being used? Bug or feature?

I just have to wonder what the price on the transcendent discman goes up to January 1st. $501? $550 (making the jump alone greater than the value of several discmans, and probably about 50x their cost), or $600 just to emphasize how utterly batshit crazy they are that they can post make believe prices.

Oh wow I did too, and would not have ever realized it except for your comment

I love the idea that death in film is traumatic to children, when 100 years ago they would have seen 10X as much death in their own personal lives. Seeing cartoon lions die is one thing, seeing all your relatives and neighbors die of influenza or the Black Death is another.

I want to see this movie so bad now.

That was really really, shareable well-put. And depressing as hell.

I maintain that he would have made a decent bank manager in a medium-sized rural Texas community. It wouldn't have been the most successful branch, but I bet the employees and regular customers would have thought he was an alright guy. He'd probably sponsor a little league team and buy them pizza even when they lost.…
