it seemed not just a shame but kind of unnecessary...why couldn’t he have just reached one hand through to pull his coat back with the gizmo on the other side to close the door in the other direction while the other hand tosses the bomb...they said it would explode at any sharp impact, after all...

the hitchhiker bit, for sure...but I'd roll with it if they decided she could reappear without killing him...after all, she didn't leave a corpse...

“spin seeding” is a good term for it...

“There’s such a thing as over explaining a joke.”

“At what point does a provocateur become culpable for the fruits of his antagonism?”

you appear to be confusing me for somebody else...discerning things you telegraph incessantly requires literally zero effort on my part...

oh, what a surprise...

I imagine that’s part of it...a full-time troll has to be worth who knows how many regular users’ worth of clicks...

[TL;DR - yeah...I don’t get it...but it kind of pisses me off...]

I don’t lay claim to any psychic gifts...but I’m pretty sure they keep an eye out for anything that smacks of hyperbole or an excess of zeal/hostility so that they can produce it out of context amidst accusations of hypocrisy...

that’s the thing, though...if they were “trying to game this to effect the election” then surely be this isn’t the play...

as with another individual who protests that his efforts can’t be obstruction of justice because nobody should be able to provide evidence that anything criminal took place...referred to in some circles as individual #1...

“atomic balls” has to be the most bizarre way an attempted compliment has ever backfired, surely...

apologies for the off-topc post [by all means delete/dismiss it] but someone fond of the multiple-burner-accounts approach to these threads is feeling cranky all over the weekday-shift’s we’re-outta-here-post’s comments...

yup...which is why you aren’t the one with anything to apologize about...

you skipped the part where he’s guilty...

surprising no one it would appear that in the thread where he makes wounded remarks about how cowardly it is that people dismiss his incisive remarks...

the cries & pleas certainly leave no trace on whatever passes for your ears, do they...

sort of a "make it to fake it" kind of a deal...

opposites are kind of his thing...
