i can't tell if the show wants us to root for that relationship or is actually making the case that bennett is the exact same as pornstache (the worst kind of fucking rapist, which is the side i come down on), except possibly even worse, because he is a "nice guy." can't quite tell where they are going with this one.

that wasn't ska. that was more of a balkan brass band type thing, right?

sorry.

exactly. nothing she said is that damning, it just adds to the state's case that this guy is an international drug smuggler, "look, here's two of his underlings who are already convicted drug smugglers , of course this guy is a drug smuggler!" the state gets a tiny bump to the quality of its case. if piper tells…

having seen the rest of the season, i won't comment on how piper's choice affects her situation, but man oh man was i happy to see her perjuring herself on the stand. "i don't recall" is the perfect answer, there is pretty much no way of contradicting her story, unless they have her on tape talking to kubra. …

yeah, it's like the first half of each season is a zany ensemble comedy, and the second half is a female version of "oz." tonally jarring, but i still enjoy the show, and pretty much inhaled all 13 episodes in a road. i liked season 2 better than season 1, for what it's worth.

for what it's worth, it gets better. although to me it started feeling very reminiscent of "oz" in certain places by the end.

and it was a goddamn wal-mart truck! fuck. didn't think i could be angrier about this.

good points all around, and sorry for biting your head off. how insanely dangerous driving is in general and people being put in jail/dogs killed/kids and house taken away for weed are the two things that really set me off ranting.

what the fuck are you talking about? i'm not disputing that most truckers are totally good people, sure, hardworking people trying to make a living just like anyone else. but they are more in dangers from cars than our cars are from them? what the fuck are you talking about? some insane number like over 90% of all…

i drive up and down the entire sf bay area for my job, and i have never been more terrified in my fucking life than the strip of 880 from oakland to san jose by the port of oakland. the difference between that and the strip of 580W in the oakland suburbs, where big-rig trucks aren't allowed is mindblowing. blah blah…

i will choose a path that's clear, i will choose free will.

yeah, i got in an argument w/ a friend recently after she had read a story on gawker or jezebel or something talking about louie. taking context into account actually requires the arbiter of all that is right and wrong to take the time to listen to what the other person is trying to say and actually think about it as…

"lame" (originally "gay") basically just meaning something crappy/bad, and "gypped" meaning ripped-off are the two that have been hardest for me to lose from my speech patterns. it's obviously a good thing that racist/sexist/lgbt-phobic/ablist terms are falling out of use, but it really sucks when there is not a…

seriously. i don't understand if it's just that the driver is dangerously oblivious to what is going on around him/her on the road, the law (the left lane is for passing, for christ's sake!), and basic courtesy, OR if they really are simply awful fucking garbage-people getting off on ruining other people's days. i'm…

i have been going to "you fucking garbage-person" a lot lately. as in you are fucking walking, talking pile of garbage, not that you are one of the hardworking sanitary engineers that take away our trash at the curb. also, if it actually came true every time i yell "i hope you fucking die" to another driver, i'd be…

totally, michiganders.

the extra r. is for r.r.r. that extra r. is a typo.

one of them is so charming too! and one of them is… not.

yeah, i kept waiting for the punchline to be something along the lines of "why did he crush beetles? because he could."
