Have you ladies seen him in Knock Knock? More people need to see Knock Knock...

That’s why they’re literally called “deathgrips.” Also, I think the point was more along the lines of impulsive purchases, rather than the seeming necessities you listed (if you would allow me to alter “cars” to “transportation”). Use this calculator for the frivolous stuff, and maybe compare it to the “how much…

I would offer that money is more politically valuable, but will grant you that a turncoat is a close second. :)

Seconded! Seattle is the worst! The whole PacNorWest is a rain forest and dreary for 365 days a year. You don’t want to move here!

pfft. i go outside.

pfft. i go outside.

Sounds like we need you. Welcome back aboard! :-)

Some of us understand. Some of us know that the subtitle to Slaughterhouse Five is The Children’s Crusade. Some of us recognize that it is the privilege of lesser men to light the flames. Some of us vote accordingly.

Still active duty here, with just over four years until I am eligible to retire. I joined straight out of high school for many reasons, most of them relating to duty (father and both grandfathers served, Son of the Revolution, etc.) and idealism. I considered myself a Republican at the time. One year at a service…

I dunno... my partner looks at me like that when I manage to make boom-boom in the toidy instead of in my pants. Also, my cat, as he waits expectantly for his Classic Tender Beef Feast.

I do that. Often. Some nights I’m looking for a ten minute fix that isn’t just an 11.X percent ABV bottle or three of forget.

Not to undermine your point, but, um... I regularly Campbell’s soup it when I’m not up to cooking (it’s just me and the cats, usually). If you keep a reasonable supply of heads of fresh broccoli, bags of frozen peas, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, black and red peppers, celery salt, minced hot cherry peppers,…

My gf knows I fully support the Lysistrata treatment. Perhaps the only way to stop fucking Republicans is to stop fucking Republicans.

The French figured this out 200 years ago. Every sign I (straight, white, male, military) saw on Saturday in CD could fall readily under one reading “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.” Every movement is important, and some have significantly more fraught histories than others — but, dammit, a rising tide raises all…

I was in DC and my mom spotted one, so I ran over with a pen and asked to add an “e” so that the huddled masses could properly “breathe”. Fortunately the laides still had their sharpie... I hope they don’t think I was an asshole.

That piece of halibut looks fit for Jehovah!

Such as... Tik Tok, Die Young, Your Love Is My Drug, Blow, Blah Blah Blah, and Take It Off? To name only those that peaked in the Top 10 of the Hot 100? I mean, don’t get me wrong: she’s not Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Jethro Tull, Joan Jett, Stevie Nicks, or Heart — but she’s extremely talented and damn good at what…

I’ve seen it get a lot of hate over at io9 where I normally hang out. :-(

Off-topic, unpopular opinion: I freaking loved Snowpiercer. It’s how I know babies taste better.

I’d offer that “political correctness” needs to be rebranded, because the term itself has always held a pejorative connotation. Call it, rather, “correctness,” or “outward display of basic human decency.”

I am way late to this party... and also probably a massive outlier... but, screw it, nobody will see this. Also, to those judging others’ lists on whether or not they contain acts of colour or multiple genders without acknowledging that the majority of the fault lies first with the mainstream labels and secondly…
