One of my favorite things about Inception is that in the snow scene the good guys wear white hats and the bad guys wear black hats. If you can miss one of the oldest tropes in movies, you don't deserve them.

holy shit. motherfuck. condolences to anyone who knew him beyond here.

This is why US government debt isn't really an issue. China and Japan will happily buy up debt knowing that sooner or later they will get paid.

It's also infamous for the tone:

I was reading about that after the show. Basically there's no market for it because you can't discharge it through bankruptcy and people persist in paying it incrementally. If everyone were to default overnight, eventually something like that could happen.

It also doesn't help that hospitals won't post prices, costs or how much of the billed prices will be covered by insurance. Meanwhile 82% (actual percentage) of these fuckers are motherfucking non-profits!

Panama vs. Bolivia should be incredibly boring. The third tier teams in these conferences are aggressively shitty and hostile to the very idea of watchability.

There's a good fucking reason why fantasy fiction rarely ever uses a first-person narrator.

basically there's enough people out there and the tickets are that expensive that an adaptation of something well-known, ie something involving Batman or Superman, guarantees opening weekend success. After that, however, is another story. If people stay away on opening weekend, then you know it's really bad. This…

Way to miss the actual fucking point of everything she was trying to tell her mother.

He was secretary of war but functioned as the veep would in literally any other cabinet, especially as chosen successor, especially as TR didn't have a veep in his first term.

fuck yes. the dissolution of the Whig party into the Republican party would have so much fodder, or the clusterfuck of the 1860 Democratic convention or TR's third party run against his bathtub-fucking ex-veep.
