Omaha broke on the other side and it made a nonzero difference. Literally above zero: This is one of two districts in the country who take a slice out of their state’s pie and feed it to the person of their choosing. And we fed that pie.

It seems unreal, but it’s actually very possible they don’t. For any number of reasons, accidents, hardware failure, effectively irrecoverable because the master’s on an unlabeled tape drive somewhere, etc.

Oberyn set up the inevitable toilet thing, where does he fit in?

Since my state would have me go some five miles off to a church to vote, instead of the polling place within walking distance that is also a secular institution, I vote by mail.

“Now if they’re having a loud party and you go to ask them to be a little quieter, they may just invite you in instead.”

Thank you. It can’t be said enough that games are written, that they’re intentional and real people are behind them.

And people used to call Revengeance’s story bad.

How many years did it take to add Gamecube-ish quests back into the game? Three years?

No such thing. Besides, the worst ones are the kind with the bass in their voice that you can feel in the desk and floor even when you can’t hear it.

I’d say it’s worse when you have music AND someone about a foot away talking in the background.

It’s like, imagine you’re seven, and you’re seriously considering running away from home instead of spending Xmas with your stepmom. She’s not your real mom, etc.

You’ve gotta go for the Greek Anecdotes 102 references, Sword of Damocles or Sisyphus at least.

That’s my point. “But he’s a horrible person” isn’t productive discourse, unless you follow the logical fallacy that people who like a certain kind of fictional character are mirrors of them, or bad people, etc, and they should feel bad about themselves.

We’re talking about fictional characters, so all of those are plusses to the right kind of people. Some bad romances are good because they’re bad,  it’s only problems when you’re not seeing it for what it is.

It’s better to invoke Lovecraft through tone and situation than name-only.

I see her as a very worthy reprise of the dearly-missed Sen. Dan Inouye, and an exemplary reminder of Asian service that very frequently gets undermined (this post being exhibit A). Hawaii represents, but I like it when I see other states step up.

Don’t think you’re safe next to Gandhi.

I like the 2vo more, but the typing is glorious and I have no regrets about #TeamGrass.

The good news is that there are more than three people you could cast him as, should you choose to do so. He’s a bit too funny to be Miles, anyway, Glover as Peter always made more sense.
