Yep. I can't think of another explanation that doesn't involve a measurable intelligence deficit.

Genetically engineered shark with Maher DNA.

That's not deceptive. At the risk of taking the metaphor too literally, it's like taking a picture of your face inside with your camera's flash vs taking a picture of your face outside in the daylight. Still the same face, and most of us are still the same person even when we attempt to be more palatable to the…

Women tip male bartenders at much higher rates than men tip female bartenders. I thought that was obvious.

Prepare for the onslaught of poorly executed Shining references.

My wife and I will regularly watch this scene for a lol. It is perfect in nearly every way.

The future is slowly arriving...

I experienced something similar when I moved from NYC to western Colorado. Same type of work, same level of clientele and projects (some of the same clients!), way different vibe.

I think it should be noted that there are always some people who just don't "get it" and those who just naturally get it - the latter are the ones we generally refer to as "talented" and, while they require practice and skill-building to truly excel, they inevitably get more return on their investment of time compared…

I never lived there long-term, just visited a bunch of times and stayed there for a couple months before lining up a job and housing in the mountains. I think if you stay in any city for a few weeks and are out and about every day you can make a snap judgement as to whether or not it's for you.

Well you've got a better than average chance here of finding a job that can pay for it

It may have actually happened organically but it just doesn't feel legit. I've lived in a lot of places across the country and most proper cities have their own vibe or flavor - there isn't one in Denver that I can detect that is distinct from Dallas (redneck money and ridiculous sprawl) or Austin (art/entertainment…

I know; I was referring to myself as specifically not being an actor, which is why I would not force my way onto a GoT episode as more than an extra, even if I had the power to do so.

Denver tries too hard to be the love child of Dallas and Austin for my taste. It's nice to have a proper "big city" within driving distance as an anchor for festivals, concerts, art, etc. but I think I would not enjoy living there. Boulder is a little better, but the numerous smaller towns around the state are what…

"Not the highest paying" is a big understatement. Combine that with the general lack of "urban areas" and you have a combo that results in what many would call "rural poverty" - it must be lived to really be understood, and I assure you that it is ugly and mightily detracts from one's sense of well-being. Be glad that…

I can corroborate Colorado being tied with Hawaii in the most categories of this index in the top 10. It's a pretty fucking awesome place even if you don't care for marijuana, and it's a lot cheaper to visit.

Meh. I would just use my power and influence to hang out with the cast and lurk around on set, and possibly make a brief cameo as someone gruesomely slaughtered if it didn't take more than one day all in, including costume and makeup. Acting is for actors.

Love reading the comments. How panicked would most of us be if confronted with a 3 on the tree shifter? My dad had a car like that when I was a kid but got a new one before I ever had to deal with such a monstrosity.

I had been driving for about 15 years before I got a manual transmission car gifted to me (a true piece of shit, but better than paying for a slightly better piece of shit). I read a few how to's and watched a few videos, and then took it on a 5-hour road trip. The worst part was that first time getting out of NYC…

Depending on how chummy your dogs and cats are, it's possible for the cats to push their way past the dog after he triggers the door or to follow him out, just like cars tailgating each other through a motorized gate.
