Too many hillbilly tattoo’s to make a change like that. Way too risky.

Stellaris is my first Paradox game and I was worried about the difficulty as well. Normal in this game is definitely easy-mode. It’s probably too easy for all but your first couple of games, but it’s a great way to learn the game stress-free. I recommend giving it a try if you’re on the fence.

Any idea what carrier Amazon uses for Pantry? I’ve always been tempted to order but if they ship via USPS the thought of carrying a 40 lb box of sundries from the leasing office up two flights of stairs has scared me off. UPS/FedEx deliver to my apartment door....

I’ve been in her shoes and it’s certainly not a pleasant experience. At first it’s awful but after the initial verbal barrages are over people start getting comfortable enough to let their true personalities shine through and I reached the point where there was no way in hell I was going to cave because of a couple of…

The difference being that when it’s over he won’t have a child-support order and 183 man-hating county workers crawling up his arse for 18 years threatening to take away his driver’s license when he’s a few days late handing over 1/3 of his income because obviously that’s the best way to ensure proper payment every…

There’s something about food/beverage service that causes people to reveal their true personality. When I’m dating someone new, they can seemingly be perfect in every way but if they treat a host or food server like shit it’s over as soon as we’re back in the car. They’re either sociopaths who lack empathy or…

I think this is exciting news. The one thing that almost everyone agrees with about Simmons is that he’s great at cultivating talent so I’m looking forward to seeing what he has planned. Personally, I love his stuff, even the pop-culture stuff, so I’m buyin’ whatever he’s selling.

There’s also a very nice deal of the day on Gunnar Optics as well. That 1TB SSD was too hard to pass up. Here’s the link if you want to add it:

Corsair’s K95 was the final straw in my relationship with that company. I made the mistake of buying one shortly after they were first released and I started losing LED’s within 2 weeks and within 4 months 1/3 of the LEDs were out. This was after I had one of their headsets fall apart on me after 6 months of light…

Playing quarterback in the NFL at an elite level (possibly GoaT) automatically disqualifies you from being labeled stupid. Stupid people aren’t successful as quarterbacks or offensive linemen. It’s just the truth. Yeah, he said a dumb thing, but it doesn’t surprise me at all that the rich, highly successful guy with…

If you think Wired is great now, you should have seen it before they started shamelessly regurgitating product press releases and calling it content. Wired used to be important. Now it’s just a glossy collection of paid product placements and brand awareness campaigns masquerading as a magazine for the benefit of…

I’m sorry, but this is the only thing I see when I look at that picture. Another one bites the dust.

Me too, although the public aspect of this was definitely a dick move. Enrolling kids in sports leagues that don’t keep score and handing out participation rewards is bad for the kids and bad for our culture. Losing sucks but it’s a powerful motivator. On the flip side, the sooner people realize the areas in which…

As a 40 year old single man that tries very hard to understand and remain sensitive to feminist issues, who also happens to be a great admirer of the female form, I think it’s important to note that a perceived lack of interest might just be respectful distance, especially when you’re in public with your kids. You’re…

When you’re right, you’re right.

Deadspin would be an awesome outlet for Simmons. I’d love to listen/read/watch a Simmons who wasn’t beholden to a parent company owned by the NFL.

I totally agree. That article and the response it generated along with Simmon’s apology was a very eye-opening experience for me because I realized I had the same blinders on when reading the story that the editorial staff at Grantland had when they decided to publish it.

Shit. I'm supposed to tip the dog grooming lady? They need to teach this shit in school. I had no idea, and to be honest it never even crossed my mind.

When and why did the bubble-butt become the Platonic ideal of asses?

To be young again....
