“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”

Not at all. New Yorkers are a collection of pampered idiots that not only contend that NYC is the center of the universe, but that any hint of a universe beyond NYC is merely illusion.

New York is a special breed of self-important, crybaby, bitchy little girls....

Pretty sure this very system rolled through my area (northern Illinois) yesterday, with equally torrential rains, powerful winds, and cacophonous thunder, but you didn’t see us acting like it was the end of the freaking world. 🙄

It sounds to me like what you have there is a storm.
Folks all over have ‘em, and the only reason to give ‘em funny names is so the Weather Channels and local news channels can act like it’s reporting news to justify the cost of the Doppler equipment (and all of their other toys they pull out) to interrupt your…

I recently had a big storm blow in as I stood in my yard and it felt like it went THROUGH me! It was amazing, first the sounds of the leaves rustling towards you, the light changes color, and the rustling getting closer from one specific location, it’s coming and then...the wind.

Urbanites need a steady diet of fancy words for ordinary occurrences to make victims of themselves, and therefore make them more important.

AKA: thunderstorm season on the great plains. Every single afternoon for weeks is full of this weather.

Everything is more dramatic in New York.

There is a lot of energy in the air when a big storm passes. As long as no one is hurt, enjoy it.

seriously i finally read the book a couple of weeks ago, and couldn’t for the life of me fathom why it was getting so much hate. Was it great? no. but it didn’t suck either. it was a fun read with cool little reminders of my youth and things i loved. whats wrong with that??

Watched the movie at my local IMAX yesterday. Gotta say, it pretty much blew my mind. An unbridled joyous romp of an adventure movie, IMHO the most outright fun thing Spielberg’s done this side of the millennium.

No one likes being with aggressive assholes either :-)

No one likes being around anxious people. Not surprising that dogs don’t like to either.

Come at me, but this “emotional support animal” is bullshit. If you need help with flight anxiety, take a tranquilizer or booze, like a normal sane person. Animals - no exceptions, dogs, cats, whatever! - have no business inside a passengers cabin.

Tokyo Drift was the best Fast and the Furious

I am pretty sure you have not read his original memo or the studies - however contested - he referenced. He absolutely did NOT say women were inferior to men. In fact, the great majority of his paper dealt with how to get more women interested in tech in the first place.

Stop. His memo was about genetic effects on personal preferences. He cited numerous scientific studies and in no way shape or form did he imply that his female colleagues were inept at their positions.

So, essentially Google’s policy was — we are going to create programs to help people become productive employees regardless of sex or race. We also would appreciate people not creating a hostile environment for any of the workers — whether they be pro-diversity or anti-diversity as this could be seen as creating a…
