I think a lot of things that could be automated won't automatically be automated, simply because there are more factors to the decision than how much money can be thrown at it. The timeline will probably be just long enough that resource scarcity will become an issue. I wouldn't be surprised if most humans became de…

To avoid confusion, perhaps we should call them 'invoices' instead of bills.

"Bro, one day, when I'm in Congress, bro…"

You'll have to be a little bit more specific. There's more than one November.

Fred Durst should be in prison.

There are times for being outside, and then there are times when you don't need to be outside.

I think it's more like they are pathologically indifferent to those people because they can't fathom the existence of someone so far outside their sphere of influence.

I went to my niece's soccer game, and was unable to enjoy the game because the screeching parents on the sidelines were driving me crazy. I could maybe understand if this was baseball, or football, and dad's future retirement plan was based on sports success. But this is community youth soccer - they don't even…

I think Wikileaks would have a lot more support if they got rid of Assange. Nobody likes that dickbag, even the ones who appreciate what he does.

When will we be adding this to the stock phrases library?

The thing that keeps me awake at night is the thought that there are millions of people who are convinced they are doing the right thing with this Republican shit. Like maybe Paul Ryan is watching the news and going "What's wrong with these people? Can't they understand I'm trying to help them? My plan is better for…

I agree. I think the problem is that he has (perhaps accidentally) abstracted the show from itself. It used to be "here's this interesting issue and we're going to do a deep dive into the nuances of it," but now it's "here's this interesting issue and you know we're going to give you details about it along with some…

The health insurance industry currently employs around 2.5 million people in the US. That's a lot. Even if every non-insurance industry company supported single payer, the government would be unlikely to support such a bold move. The half-baked alternatives that have been proposed so far have been crippled by a need…

I had some at a party a couple weeks ago. They really do resemble a La Croix soda.They're sorta like Smirnoff Ice or Zima, but the taste is more inoffensive. And by inoffensive, I mean unlikely to offend people with extremely bland palates. Hard waters are for people who thought the malt beverages of the late 90s and…

Pretty much every other television in Texas and Louisiana also. Especially in my parents' house.

In America, 'crisp' is an adjective, not a noun.

Arya, blinded by the Many-Faced God for killing Meryn Fucking Trant, travels to Japan and learns the art of massage and ass-whooping from Zatoichi.

Was he though?

I used to have one of those big paperback Video Hound Movie Retriever catalogs that lists every film available for that year on VHS or DVD, and I would go through it, highlighting all the movies that I had seen. There was also an appendix where they listed all of the past Academy Award nominees and winners, and I…
