"Fiance woke up in the middle of the night once and asked me why there was a Confederate soldier walking through our bedroom."

Eh, we'll still keep North Dakota.

I don't think Gabe actually felt threatened by this guy. That's not the point. If I was doing business with someone, and they threatened to kill me, I'd cease the business relationship even if I knew there was no way they could possibly carry it out.

Ayn Rand believed a lot of things that many of her prominent followers fail to accept, like the whole atheism thing.

Eh, I think it's cute. I'm sure Obama did too.

Correction: 92 percent of Americans hate Congress as a whole. Most love their individual Congresscritters. Thanks gerrymandering!

Alright everyone, let's talk about whether Gone Home is a real game, because we've never discussed this before.

Not near as common as the picture suggests. Israel's gun laws are way stricter than in the U.S.

I know you get better items in last place. I've just never seen anyone who isn't a computer get a speed boost in last. If it's there, it's quite subtle.

I can't imagine how there's much rubber banding in a two-player race where both players are controlled by humans. I always thought rubber banding was more of an AI thing.

Yeah, that's why all the best university spots and job openings are filled by black candidates, right?
