I hate that we as a society have apparently all signed on to the subscription model where we never really get to own anything and pay companies in perpetuity. Can't I just give you my money and be done with it?

There are definitely people out there that are absolutely insufferable. I think the real difference is that some of us consider it to be an annoyance, and others view it as one of the biggest problems facing society today. It's tough sometimes to find people in the former group without being inundated by those in…

My wife went into labor naturally while we were driving to the hospital for our scheduled induction.

My wife's cousin checked in for a regularly scheduled OBGYN appointment right around her due date. Found out that she had apparently already been in labor and was already at 8cm without even realizing it. She had the baby just a few hours later.

For me, the strangest part of W's tee-totaling is that he still managed to get millions of people to vote for him because they wanted to have a beer with him.

I feel like if I sensed the producers trying to goad me into saying something like that, I'd go into instant scramble mode.

In fairness, the people arguing that Walt was a hero that did everything for his family are usually psychopaths.

Except those lucky bastards on the west coast where it's aired at its regularly scheduled time.

In fairness, as I mentioned above in a less relevant comment, people in Juneau (or at least my tour guide) used to make a pretty big deal about the city not having a McDonalds. They appear to have subsequently got one, but Juneau was also my guess. 1780 seemed way too long ago, but I figured it was plausible that…

Years ago, I visited Alaska, and on our Juneau stop, our tour guide mentioned how they didn't have a McDonalds, and people would actually fly to the nearest one and bring back a bunch of (undoubtedly cold and gross) McDonalds food for their friends. I just knew the answer had to be Juneau, even though 1780 seemed way…

I reread that last paragraph a few times, hoping that I had just misread something. Of course I didn't. I really ought to know better by this point.

The passive aggressive cc'ers are the worst. I once had a colleague CC three layers of management in both my division and his, because something I gave him had two numbers transposed (which he could have figured out if he put 2 seconds of thought into it before firing off an email).

"Too Hot For Facebook"? Oh boy, this is going to be good!

Just so we're all on the same page, the point is boners, right?

Personally, I'm baffled by Netflix's entire business model, recently. It's working for them, so I'm sure it's just me, but it seems like the cost of all of this original programming can't possibly be offset by new customers signing up specifically to view that content.

Let's all have a brief moment of silence for all of the strawmen killed in the making of this movie.

The same person getting struck by lightening seven times could certainly be an argument for the existence of a higher power. Unfortunately, it's not really a good argument for the existence of a competent higher power. You'd think most deities could finish the job with only one bolt of lightening.

I like Randall Bart's skepticism. I don't want to call Roy Sullivan a liar but….I can't think of a way to finish that sentence.

Moleman tells a story that may generate nostalgia for people who were alive in the '90s:

Bad news, the bucket would probably go against their policy:
