I only hope that's mascara running down your face…

Hi,

"Dexter murders trees" is a good idea… But only so he can fashion them into memorial benches for every dead character from the original seven seasons.

Then just unfollow him for a while: posting song lyrics sounds more like the emotional tendencies of a pubescent; you sound like you're just looking for answers, not poking an ant-hill with a stick.

*Gulp*

It was actually more of a rural idyll; my childhood was pretty much a cross between The Railway Children and Shake Hands With Beef.

"Hedge-porn"! At least where I grew up: going from seeking it out to leaving it there was almost considered a rite of passage into manhood.

Absolutely: if only Feynman had more input on the nuclear program than "boffin boy-genius", then the history of the twentieth century - and our own currently-escalating return to Cold War idiocy - could have been markedly more peaceful, productive and decent all round.

In short: isn't it all a balancing act? And - as you note - prescient of many of today's moral quandaries (Je Suis Charlie)? How much freedom should we cede to the state in order to protect our freedom? And yes, can torture ever be justified?

Weird, I was talking to the local undertaker in the pub last night (I live in a small, fairly rural town). He was saying that it's the busiest time for his business that he has ever known: there are so many unfortunate deceased currently awaiting burial or cremation that there is a three-week backlog, and nowhere near…

Not Apple executives: "engineers". Like, the guys who designed the actual products; not the motherfuckers raking in the corporate billions on the backs of third world/Communist-repressed labor. For the record I agree with you: such people should be *buried under* the prison.

Edit: reposted elsewhere. Gosh, the AV Club really doesn't care for members of the Nazi elite being slurred with good old Anglo-Saxon epithets.

But would that make the Apple engineers who designed the iPhone responsible for the abhorrent working conditions and multiple suicides at the Foxconn factory in China?

"Missy LeHand" sounds like a niche pornstar.

I have wanted to see a Random Roles with David Warner for as long as I've been reading the AV Club. Bob Cratchit to George C. Scott's Ebeneezer Scrooge! Billy Zane's hefty in Titanic! TNG's Cardassian torturer! Terry Gilliam's embodiment of Evil! The three-hander in Tron! Dr. Alfred Necessiter! Please Mr. Harris, see…

Having once been that horrible bratty three year old - and having nieces/a stepdaughter revisit said brattiness upon me tenfold over the years, to be borne with patience and good cheer - I suggest you look on the bright side: once she grows into a relatively cool young lady, it will be a story her otherwise-cool aunt…

I really hope the pun was intentional.

If it's any consolation - and christ, why would it be? - I once knew a guy who could do the same thing.

Any chance of socializing out of work - without a direct invite, eg. drinks with a group after closing up - and seeing where that goes? Social media contact? Basically any interaction that happens outside of the shop is the way forward: if you define work as "work" and what goes on elsewhere as "None of your fucking…

We give a shit! We give a shit!
