A server did once scold our group for playing cards in a cafe. This was when he came up to take our order - for some reason he was like “cmon, guys!” and we were like “so do you want us to order some stuff or not?”  It was weird.

I’m surprised [Tim Allen] isn’t out there pitching it himself and blaming liberals as the reason it hasn’t been picked up.

Serious question - are these fast-growing suburbs really just the outskirts of popular cities?

My personal guess is that maybe it’s not so much the new style as some interpersonal thing. Maybe she doesn’t like the extra musicians they’ve added, or she’s sick of Carrie or Corin.

I’m sincerely glad you liked No Cities, went to the last tour, and enjoyed it. That’s kind of my point, that these old bands can keep on keeping on and it’ll probably keep working for somebody.

Because you can’t trust young people to show up to vote, regardless of the candidate or how inspiring or uninspiring they are.

I don’t really have a problem with rock bands becoming oldies acts. They wrote the catalog, why not keep playing it for whoever wants to hear. I’ll go hear Yo La Tengo, Radiohead, or Guided by Voices rehash old shit, no problem.

I ride in traffic uptown and I also drive a car. I think it makes sense to view bikes as somewhere in between cars and peds.

Here’s my complaint about the whole “Biden is a centrist, so he should be the candidate” argument. These people never tell you what they actually want, policy-wise. It’s all “twitter isn’t real life” and “you are alienating us!” and so on.

It’s more the Danny Hoch anecdote that poisoned the show for me.

Heh, I know. It’s just funny and surprising to me that the people I see playing these location-based games in New York usually appear to be at least in their 30s. You’d think that it’s for pre-teens and teenagers but that is clearly not the demo it really appeals to the most.

Well, I’ll tell you what. This week I was walking the dogs in NYC summer heat, and they found a shady spot where they wanted to stop. It was in a little alcove in the front of a church. I am always happy to let them stop and chill so we parked it there and I whipped out my phone.

Ain’t that the truth. It really only takes one really bad experience with your private insurer to be ready to blow the whole system up. In our case, it was

But of course it’s considered unacceptably elitist for a liberal to suggest that people voted for Trump because they are dumb.

A related, mild annoyance is when you get waited on by multiple people. Sometimes one person asks if you want drinks, then another takes your real order. Sometimes the second person still starts off where the first person did.

Do we think that nobody in that room or the media team didn’t notice that he got the name wrong?

But as a straight dude, I cannot for the life of me think of an example where any sort of policy or act has given me the slightest bad-faith reason to scream about oppression

What was good about the way they handled the technical breakdown is that they didn’t make Warren verbalize that she couldn’t hear the question, which would have made her look bad. The network took ownership and stopped the madness.

No, wait, I’d like to change my comment, if I may. This kind of knee-jerk immaturity serves no one. And obviously it’s more like Chuck Wad, am I not right.

More like Chunk Turd amirite.
