Actually, the problem with capitalism is externalities. In capitalism, welfare is only maximized from the supply side. Producers have every incentive to reduce their own costs, and they can easily pass this on to consumers or workers without ever really seeing the effects, unless they become a completely egregious…

I don't kno what the article is talking about. Everyone I know still has standards when they go to church. Take me as an example. I always make sure to iron my best Hawaiian shirt on Sundays.

Just like I named my dog long before I ever got him (Kegogi, look it up), I have already named my firstborn son. Both, coincidentally, were decided while playing a video game.

Previous season? Oh! I know what you're talking about. I jumped to some truly gruesome conclusions from what you said.

....I didn't know. I haven't gotten through the second book yet.

My recent posts have all been referencing my late girlfriend. I guess this one was more rambling than most. I lost my girlfriend in a car accident about two months ago. We'd just moved in together in December. Sorry if I confused you.

Well, he knows nothing.*

My late girlfriend was always more into sex than I was. In fact, by a bible belt definition of the act, we never actually had sex, though I feel that we did. My barometer is "if we were sims, we would have disappeared under the sheets." I would normally only want to cuddle and make out, she'd have eyes on the prize,…

Devil's advocate: ISN'T sewing a feminine task?

Do you do characters? I know you probably can't tell me WHICH characters if you do. I am planning to go to Disney either this year or next, because my late girlfriend never outgrew Disney princesses. She'd always aspired to be a cast member at Disney (being an immensely talented actress) and wanted to meet some of the…

Jelly Belly jelly beans are my favorite food. I can seriously drop $20-30 on them when you buy them by the pound. And eat them in one sitting. The video was my literal reaction to this news.

I'm more a DC guy, but I'm pretty sure it's unbreakable*. Adamantium in fact was an attempt to duplicate the properties of Cap's shield. IIRC its inventor worked on it to the point of exhaustion, and passed out while the materials were catalyzing. Some unknown X-factor was introduced due to his fatigue-induced…

For once I saw a message that was probably written by a woman. Or possibly a gay guy. It was the standard "Amazing chest ahead," but in front of Andrei.

It is. I know, because it's one of mine. However, I in no way approve of what's going on with that group.

Maybe he thought he was Derbel McDillet?

...to be honest, I barely know what to DO with a vagina, so I tend to keep it above the belt 90% of the time anyway. A penis might be easier since I at least have the owner's manual.

It's amazing how a bit of information can change the tone of a story. If I'd just said "my girlfriend" it would have merely been an amusing anecdote. Informing everyone of her passing (and not gas) turned a fart joke poignant.

Oh, I am well aware of girl farts. Claire* had cystic fibrosis, and while everyone knows how that affects the lungs, few people know how it affects the bowels She could not eat anything without taking a handful of enzymes that she had to get juuuust right (and never did). When we moved in together, I gave her the…

I watched this like three times. I'm still taking notes. It's baffling to me because there's so much about this movie I SHOULD like. So many different elements that speak to my inner child, teenager, and adult. I feel I should love this movie. Yet, the first tme I watched it, I just felt cold about it. It was...meh.…

Gary Busey has one of those too.
