I think really people mean, "invisible but for that scene."

Your point, then, is the most banal and obvious one anyone has ever made.

I admit, it doesn't take a real genius to catch someone who has confessed to a crime on tape. I'm not sure what that says about the intelligence of those who can't catch the person who confessed to a crime on tape (jk, I totally do know what it says.)

Oh, I haven't even started lecturing. You keep asking for proof (of what, I'm not sure), but we live in a Bayesian world, my slow-witted friend. The people you deem right "by accident" were right because they operate on better priors than you. You're never going to get the proof you seek, but if you too would like to…

No, demanding proof makes you a huge douche.

You seem a bit confused. I'm neither outraged, nor trying to impress you.

Folks, Dexter Morgan is one of those creeps who thinks that his opinions are "logical" and others are "illogical." He will employ all the usual argumentative tricks of such people: making strangely literal interpretations of statements when it suits him, ignoring context, pretending that his own value statements…

Yeah, so it is. I kind of meant to ask a different question — is it still a magic lasso that makes people tell the truth, or is more of a traditional weapon now? I'll take my answer offline.

This seems like the weirdest possible hill to die on. I respect this guy's artistic integrity, but…I guess I don't really respect his artistic integrity.

Did they ditch the lasso for this movie? I think I read that they did, but can't quite recall.

Before becoming vegan, he ate the younger, slimmer, sexier Alex Baldwin.

It totally works. To be honest, I don't detect a big difference between grilled cheese fried in butter and grilled cheese fried in mayo. On the one hand, this is a little disappointing — give up your dreams of a killer secret ingredient. On the other hand, it's really easy to spread a nice even layer of mayo out to…

Totes agree that the first Bush was underrated, certainly by 18-year-old me. But I'm not optimistic that I'll ever see another president as good as Obama.

I've eaten a lot of strange things, and I love offal and other nasty bits, but I found balut completely intolerable. I had it in Cambodia, when I made the mistake of ordering it because I thought I was getting a bowl full of hardboiled eggs. When I realized what I was eating, I tried to power through a few of them, so…

Mostly I do, yes. Certainly in the case of Mel Gibson I do. I'm Jewish. I understand that he appears to be an unreconstructed anti-Semite. But a few considerations weigh on me in these situations:

Don't listen to the haters. Anchovies are the best. They vary a lot in quality, and you're not going to get good ones at Pizza Hut. To be fair, they probably don't really belong on a pizza — too much concentrated salt in one bite, although I'll happily eat them straight out of a jar. They work best as a seasoning on…

My favorite bit is the search term "open door naked pizza," which really could just as easily have come out of my two-year-old's mouth. The people typing those words clearly have a very specific image in their mind, and the words just come tumbling out.

Yes, and he's a musician, and I actually really like some of his stuff.

This thread is doing lots of work to prove the obvious. As mysteries go, "Why take tens of millions of dollars to hang out in Italy" doesn't exactly rise to, say, the giddy heights of a Dan Brown novel.
