a bunch of really stupid mistakes

Your mom dates all the men.

I think a month ago that narrative might have made sense, with no smoking gun in Russia and a team that was becoming skilled at arguing that “when the president does it, it’s not illegal.”

Then this song plays quietly in your head while you imagine a camera panning slowly off of you and to an open window. Outside on the street, ordinary people are going about their daily routines.

Interesting that she starts to say that she didn’t have to follow procedure “because it was my home.”  I feel like you could ride that statement all the way to intentional murder - she knew better but was mad because she thought someone was robbing her.

Yeah, I wonder who wrote the remarks he was scheduled to give. Was it just boilerplate so that he could go over there, make more connections, and get paid? Or was he going to be shilling for someone specific?

Well, I have sleep apnea, and I don’t behave like that.

It’s not negligent homicide because she intended to pull the trigger and shoot him.

I remember one of the folks in my old neighborhood lecturing me about how scientists were seduced by all of the attention they were getting by espousing the theory of global warming. Basically, it went like this - imagine you are some loser scientist, toiling away in obscurity. Then, you get invited to testify before…

So after you drank your beverage did they take the noodle straw in back and cook it for you, then serve it?

I mean, it really just means “do you need ketchup” or whatever other random thing you might ask for. Might as well get it over with fast, so that you aren’t left sitting there wishing you had that steak knife.

I mean, I’m worried that she’ll get off because they’ve overcharged her. Apparently it varies state-to-state whether “depraved indifference to human life” is murder or manslaughter. Seems like a slam-dunk that shooting a man in his own apartment because you aren’t paying attention to your surroundings is depraved…

Yeah, it’s hard to pick the worst aspect of this story. It’s a dumb marketing stunt that was executed in a half-assed way by a junk food powerhouse in collaboration with the wooooorst new corporation of the 21st century.

If you do it on the big poppy-seed roll it definitely makes it more like a hero, which we seem to agree is a sandwich.

Your mom’s an insult to writers.

I’ll tell you man, moving from owning to renting was a nice feeling. Now we’ve got money in the bank and the flexibility to buy when we feel like it. We listed right after Labor Day on the advice of our broker. (He actually thought that summer was a relatively dead period and you want to avoid it.)

Heh, this is a good reminder that most “reasoning” and argument involves deciding on your conclusion first and then trying to think up the supporting arguments that prove you are right. Dude probably thought that the limited number of characters thing was fucking airtight.

So I can use this language in my workplace without repercussion!

I’ve posted about this one before (on deadspin of all places) - $24K for a procedure that the doctor thought would be covered.* There was even a state law that explicitly said it was covered but surprise! - because our employer-provided plan was “self-insured” (paid for out of the employer’s own pot of money, administe…

Besides, being a world leader like we were in the WWII era would presumably be part of Making America “Great” Again. Why in the hell wouldn’t we want to take the lead in reducing emissions?
