We had two buns back in the day, living with us in our NYC apartment. They chew up everything made of wood as well as your electrical wiring but other than that they are pretty good house pets. Both were labeled Netherland Dwarfs by the petshop but were probably really Rexes.

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?

Another possibility is that it was made by people who wanted the mainstream media to take it as real, and then they were planning to debunk it, thus discrediting the people who took the bait. Just as Karl Rove (allegedly) did to Dan Rather during the W administration.

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…

I don’t know why people assume that every study they read about has a big grant behind it. I remember reading about a study that demonstrated that dogs experience jealousy of other dogs and OF COURSE somebody posted this exact comment. The text of the article made it clear that no grant money was involved aside from…

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.
