All true, all stuff I figured out early in my [late] viewing, still loved the show.

I was going to post virtually the same thing. I really enjoyed the show, even the ending, but it wasn’t because Ted was a sympathetic character. He was vile asshole whom I wouldn’t tolerate in my life. He was far worse than Barney who was obviously a damaged person in serious need of an epiphany followed by extensive…

Kitty Nook cosplay for as long as it takes to get a cute pic? Forgivable.

Props to your dad for being willing to act as your R2 unit.

I don’t know about generally since I’m not a frequent Jalopnik reader, but this article contains a really terrible take. The implication is that since Pierce Brosnan is rich he should be happy to provide uncompensated PR for whomever might want it.

Okay, nm.

The more pertinent question is whether you’d speak a lot of nonsense - nonsense that might result in people’s deaths - that you don’t even believe in so that you could make that $15. I think most of us don’t have that in us which is why it’s newsworthy when someone does exactly that.

You’re right, but there are also the anti-Musk weirdos who would criticize him for saving a basket of kittens from a fire. Something about that dude polarizes people and the reason for it is elusive to me. I consider Musk to be an asshole who should really shut the hell up (and if this country was serious about…

They wanted fast bargains. Any private school that accepts bribes donations is going to want more the further out of their way they have to go in order to accept. They’re also going to want to see big money well in advance of a kid even applying for admission so that the quid pro quo isn’t so blatant.

I actually liked that frozen meal challenge. Setting aside the product placement, I found it fascinating how the best way to put the thing together was to separately freeze the cooked components, which was explained very clearly to the chefs...and then most didn’t do it! It also had one of the better judging methods…

Tough shit, Florida. Those billions of dollars can find somewhere else to go, maybe even into something that isn't destroying the planet.

This. They continued to operate even after they had to know that a highly contagious and dangerous disease was spreading. They all deserve to go out of business. They are not "too big [or important] to fail" and the world would be a better place without them.

I remember years ago when I tried the breakfast sandwiches at a local/regional chain, Burgerville USA. I bit into the first of two sandwiches and grease was running down my chin. I opened the second to look at it and there was a deep dent in the egg with a half-inch pool of grease. So gross that I couldn't continue,…

I’ll give them liquor stores. Setting aside “I could really use a drink” jokes, I don’t get why they’re open anywhere in the midst of this. But Planned Parenthood? That shit is essential. In fact, given that they often provide free/low-cost prenatal care that women without health insurance can’t get otherwise, along…

You’re right, though it would hardly make a difference. Look at Mr. Andrew Wakefield. He was stripped of his medical license after falsifying data linking vaccines with autism, but his words and “work” continue to be used by anti-vaxxers to justify their dangerous nonsense.

I doubt strongly that perfectionism was the problem. I suspect the biggest problem was that becoming a massive online sales platform drained any sense of urgency out of making sequels to their defining franchise.

You’re obviously not wrong.

I started Friday, got my house this morning, will get the store and first house expansion tomorrow, and apparently will get the museum Monday. I should also have four or more new neighbors moving in over the next couple days.

That’s a really good reason for multiple resets. As a single person - one who has loved Animal Crossing since its release on GameCube - I can’t imagine worrying about which fruit I get and paying attention to the airport color seems insane.

If Feinstein has her investments in a blind trust, she should be able to prove that and completely exonerate herself.
