Well, it’s also got to be because Republicans realized there were a lot of votes to be picked up by aligning with Netanyahu all the time, and it is consistent with their other values (anti-Muslim and pro-invading countries in the middle east.) It’s kind of a Southern Strategy but for Jewish people.

A lot of the stores also post one person at a little stand in the center of of the self-check lanes, ostensibly there to troubleshoot. I’m sure that cuts down on some fraud as people feel like they are possibly going to be observed.

But you are not changing lanes - the question was explicitly about lanes that merge. My lane’s gonna become one with your lane in 50 feet, and if you are paying attention you know this, so in many situations no signal is needed. If people are really zippering you can see everyone ahead of you doing it as well.

Just buy a bunch of Belle and Sebastian records, an ascot, and small dog with a funny name. Then go shopping a lot in little stores, the kind that are always underpopulated and doomed to close within a year but at the moment represent the shopkeeper’s personal dream. Everyone in the shops will say “I love your ascot /…

That was a less-fun correction.

This is a great song! Thank you for this introduction to my new favorite band Weazer. I hope all of their music is as fun as this!

If it weren’t for 9/11 he’d be more like a Chris Christie figure. He’d be remembered for stuff like divorcing his wife via press conference as much as anything.

The detail about blocking the door wasn’t in the victim story. it was added later by parties unknown best I can decipher.  

Meh, the door-blocking story didn’t sound consensual, and of course any situation where there is a huge imbalance of power isn’t going to really be consensual either. I agree that the wording in the story isn’t entirely accurate but it doesn’t seem like parsing the difference between “didn’t say no and resented it…

If you encounter a dick at one piss party, then you’ve been to a typical piss party. But if you encounter that dick at every piss party, maybe it is you who is the dick.

You can go eat a fucking bowl of dicks. (Is that confrontational enough for you?)

I definitely see how it is a positive thing, though of course the creative ideal is perhaps to go out kicking and screaming and making things till the end. But if you can’t drive with a broken back, at least you can polish the fenders.

Easy to figure out - he took a cab, cab drops him off at the gate.  Either that or the people he was with dropped him off.

The Life Aquatic is the one that really flipped the switch for me, probably because it is so blatantly silly and self-indulgent. Up until then I had been vaguely annoyed by the deadpan archness of Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and Tenenbaums but I felt like I finally got the joke.

Plus, the guy purposely hasn’t put out an album in a quarter or a century, because he felt like it was time to stop making new music. You can’t not give him kudos for that.

Record-high for Trump. That’s like being the world’s tallest midget. He’s at 42%.

I recall that one of the times I saw the Walkmen Hamilton literally started talking on stage about how it was “hard for us to play these old songs.” (Before getting into We’ve Been Had or something.)  It seemed like kind of a dumb thing to say in the middle of a show?

Well yeah, there are lots of things that are not politically correct for the right, but they can’t recognize it for the life of them. You can’t suggest that the U.S. is not the greatest country in the world or they’ll get all bent. Obviously they think the flag is some kind of magical object made from the souls of…

Well sure, but everybody knows it’s not a law law, except this guy (the lawyer.)
