He is actually pretty much right, since costs have to go hand-in-hand with benefits. If you have a high cost that gains you a small amount of soldiers, that perhaps isn't as cost-effective as spending 5x the money to give boners to a very large number of soldiers. It is a stupid argument.

The show basically trolls its audience with the casting. You gotta mix one gay icon in with one right-wing loser every single season.

Oy this stupid story again. Disliked it enough the first time.

God yeah, the burning-tire smell lingered throughout Brooklyn for weeks.

Yeah, his actual performance (especially in the first few weeks) really should not be forgotten. But this is a case where the pop culture parody will eclipse the real person, like Dana Carvey's Bush. People will feel bad for him because it fits with the "mean liberals" narrative.

Picking a jazz track feels like cheating, since it is a genre that features almost nothing but instrumental solos. Yet, how are you going to ignore all that rich history in favor of a rock track?

I was in a grad seminar when the verdict was read, because I can remember the prof opining that the verdict would have to be guilty. Then I went outside and read it on the Times Square news ticker.

Like here, it's usually in the comments. Basically if you give it enough time they come, whether you want to see that or not.

Yeah, the way this sort of makes sense is that there is a foursome in the same place at the same time. Or the guys in the group now understand it to be a FWB group?

But wouldn't it be funnier if you said Prince Annoying from the Kingdom of Douchlevania? Just a suggestion.

Heck, U.S. law thinks it's OK for police to straight-up lie to people during interrogations on the theory that no adult could be tricked into confessing to something they didn't do. And we know that ain't the case.

"…I'm talking about this specific instance within this very specific, unique context…"

"None of these women were going in blind."

All y'all should quit your bitching.

For all practical purposes there is no "mainstream media" with music anymore. Radio is dead and pointless and there is no MTV (aside from youtube, which works like I described i.e. you pick your own content.)

It's almost like there's this whole new mechanism for disseminating music that makes it easy to find good stuff. Sort of like the internet, but with music.

Right, you could willfully miss the point of a lot of full-out slurs by focusing on the literal meaning. What's wrong with "Jap"? It's just short for Japanese, sounds quite cheerful actually. And everybody knows that a "faggot" is a bundle of sticks. You see, at Cambridge…

Well, it was more grisly than that, though. (Kind of confused by how much the incident was being minimized, I went and clicked on the video.) Dude was doing tricks inside a lit cube that was suspended about 100 feet above the crowd, and it was simulcast on the big screen on stage. He falls from there. It would've…

Yet most of us do agree that, whatever the purpose of the A.V. Club is, it's not a hard news site. Nobody expects an analysis of the U.S.'s performance at the G20.

As the child of a parent who was basically just bitter all the time and treated us pretty shittily I gotta say that the "my wife and I didn't have it nearly as good growing up…" bit raises an alarm for me. That's not really relevant - you should be happy to offer your kids a better life. My own mother used it as an…
