And if the tables were turned and he had shot *her*, as all the Castle Doctrine lovers say that they would be fully justified in doing in such a situation, he’d be looking at the death penalty ... assuming he lived to see the inside of the courthouse.

Fun little detail about The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief — he was a guard at an Israeli prison camp and bragged about beating Palestinian political dissidents. So yeah, Njielsjen is right up his alley.

Great, now how about a follow-up on how to block goddamn animated gifs for those of us who don’t like to get headaches from seeing a page full of the things looping and resetting?

Black Friday is the best time to stock up on UHDs - you can find most of the good ones for $10 or $12. (Target has deep discounts on new-ish discs at random the rest of the year. I found the UHD of Bumblebee there for $13 a while ago.) We’re only a couple months away, so I’ve been holding off on buying discs that I’d…

It’s not like his shady finances were ever addressed. And I don’t mean his “the tooth fairy gave me money to cover my gambling debt” story, I mean the huge down payment on his huge house and his country club dues — none of which he had the money for. He lives waaaaaaaay beyond his means. One-percenters don’t give a…

They’re a drug cartel. They deliberately got people hooked. Why is civil asset forfeiture not on the table, in addition to hard prison time for the company’s executives?

When I was mortgage shopping a couple years ago, I was told that once you hit 760 on the mortgage FICO score, you were pretty much assured of getting the lender’s best rate. In my case, it amounted to half a percentage point, but that adds up over the life of a home loan.

Wonderful, someone slipped Stephen Miller a link to John Cleese’s presentation in Monty Python’s “Architects” sketch and he thought it was a brilliant idea. “Not yet,” indeed.

This is a Japanese developer? ‘Cause that’s not the kanji for the Buddhist “zen” - hell, it’s read “zan.”

Shades of that time a marmoset peed on Johnny Carson’s head.

“X” is read “cross” in modern Japanese (fighting) game titles because some genius over there declared that it would henceforth be used to mean “crossover”.

I’m efforting to remember when I first came across that. /eyeroll

>Loquacious. Talkative.

While at the same time they lauded John McCain’s wife for being such a down-to-earth woman of the people as she appeared on stage with him at the 2008 Republican National Convention wearing $300K in jewelry.

Also at UIUC - a large menorah in front of the campus Jewish center has been knocked down and/or stomped into oblivion so many times that they replaced it with a concrete version. The perpetrators always seemed to be rich white kids from suburban Chicago.

That’s because other presidents realize just how grave a responsibility the office is. Trump doesn’t. Like, at all.

That kid was weapons-grade cute during the inauguration parade. 

“I have a grandfathered unlimited plan from AT&T that I received with the first iPhone, which means that technically AT&T shouldn’t be allowed to throttle my data at all.”

You can bet that the moron refused to wear a condom. They genuinely seem to believe that getting pregnant is a conscious decision on the woman’s part. Then again, most of them also believe that a) life begins at conception, and b) contraceptives are abortion.

Sounds more like a line of caviar enjoyed in upscale German kink clubs.
