That’s the problem. All the Evangelicals and fundamentalists actually DO think that, and because their religion preaches the glories of the afterlife they end up giving zero shits about objective reality/existence. They’re actually incentivized to fuck everything up to force the second coming of their savior.

Just gonna say: the Kotaku community is actually one of the best gamer communities on the web, with very little in the way of the racist/misogynist commentary you seem to suggest as commonplace. You don’t find your 4chan Gamergaters here. Some of us are also good faith frequenters of Jezebel. Anecdotal, sure, but:…

I... don’t actually have a serious problem with this? Quick! Everybody bone!

Is the Rita Hayworth poster on the U.S. side, hiding the escape route? And, if so, is the crawling through a shitty mess part before or after it?

You can go full pickle, but I prefer to halve it (and put in both halves) so it’s easier to bite through. Be sure to use a potato bun, because that squishes down nicely and isn’t a bready mess like a regular hot dog bun. If you’re feeling sassy, tho: phalanx pickle spears against thin spread of crunchy on two slices…

Thank you; you said what I would have. Progressive taxation is the only way to go, really — the key change to our tax system should be removal of loopholes that only benefit those of means, and the taxation of capital gain at the same rates as income.

I use Kaspersky, and am actually really happy with their tools (I personally like the password-protected encrypted file vault) — and with the minimal resources hogged by the program in the background. That, and the NSA had to develop its own tools to get past Kaspersky, whereas Norton and McAfee built them back doors…

Crunchy peanut butter and — if you’re lacking a real deli dill — a Claussen dill pickle (just don’t spread too much butter on there; is a balance of texture and flavor). I dare you to try it and hate it. :-)

I did the same, and kind of feel like it might be intentional?

Someone with access to a boss-ass engineer/handyman. What the hell kind of drywall anchors are they using?! (Obviously this is tied in to studs, etc., but damn... the weight that is cantilevering out, even if the rock is fake? Wow.) ((Also: sad. :-( Bears are my favourite top tier predator.))

To be fair, a hot dog bun (preferably potato) is the perfect vehicle for a peanut butter (dark crunchy ONLY!) and garlicky dill pickle sandwich. You husband clearly has solid decision-making chops.

Idea for a post: other than making one’s own, what are reliably tasty store-bought hummuses that don’t have problematic ties to the IDF or occupied Palestinian territory? I’m in the DC region, so I can always pop by a Lebanese Taverna for a quick fix, but the best I’ve found is Cedar’s — which is not amazing. (And,…

“swell” bulge... that is fantastic. well done.

Nobody will see this, but: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. NONE. They are all either INTENTIONAL or NEGLIGENT (and if it is a child that accesses a loaded firearm and inadvertently discharges it, the negligence is on the part of the owner of the firearm).

Actually, I think you’ll find lack of borders and inclusivity to be hallmarks of Utopian novels. I’d specifically point to T. H. White’s “Once and Future King” where Merlin changes Arthur into a bird so he can learn the lesson from the air that lines on a map are arbitrary and divisive. That lesson is in the greater…

Oh, absolutely agreed. I was operating on the assumption that we all agreed that well done steak is offensive, period, personal preferences be damned.

Well, it was in its original formulation. The removal of the public option was crippling, and the tax penalties aren’t nearly effective enough to force the young healthy folks into the risk pool — but short of a single-payer system that removes the profiteering from what should be a basic human right in a developed…

Just out of morbid curiosity: what does your selection process look like for deciding — on a day-to-day basis — what dipshit thing this motherfucker says becomes the focus of the discussion? Do you make a bracket of asinine sound bites and workshop it through the office? Is it more of a quote tree that you put on the…

Please do note that I specified following sous-vide-ing, so we’re talking about two completely viable methods here — and I was simply pointing out that it was indeed viable; I said nothing about preferred. I suppose I could launch into a diatribe about using a 500-700 degree oven... or we could talk about the…
