All dates are arbitrary anyway, so everyone is wrong and everyone is right and none of it really matters anyway.

Just stop buying things online? It’s really not that hard. I managed to go this entire Christmas not only not buying anything from Amazon, but not buying anything online or non-local either.

Milton Hershey?

Wait wtf. $2,300 for a headlight? Like the whole enclosure and the body work around it, or just the bulb? Cause you can buy a whole damn car for less than that.

Transport Fever 2 — Was on sale cause I own the original and b/c cause I love me some trains.

I wish that was my town. We’re still adding lanes :-(

If that alternative universe doesn’t include the QX56 then I’m game. That thing is hand-down my least favorite vehicle to see on the road. Sooo fugly. 

3x Forester owner and after the last new body style iteration I wish I had gone with an outback instead. The current Forester body style is just taller enough to make putting a canoe (or any boat) on top a pain in the ass. The outback’s roof, meanwhile, would be much easier to reach.

Writers are fairly specialized, but there’s currently way more writers out there than decent positions, meaning ownership/management has a tremendous advantage when dealing with their workers.

The last newspaper I was at we lost benefits/positions every year and the response was essentially: “well, you still have…

I live in Harrisburg and didn’t even know this was a thing. The Pennsylvania Auto Show, yes. This -- nope.

Wait, there’s another Spurs?

^^This. Raze Silicon Valley to the ground, salt the earth and start over.

No offense, but you obviously do not work in the industry and have no idea what goes into basic news production, the scale (and costs) of even small hyper-local news shops and the complete unwillingness of the public in general to pay for basic information.

“Want to see an office turn toxic REALLY fucking quick? Do that.”

Ahhhh yes, It only took a few hours for the ‘fire the winningest coach in team history for .... reasons’ crowd to comment. If only Tomlin had a bigger, squarer chin or.... (note: ‘undisciplined’ is yinzer for ‘the coach is black’)

And that level of pedantry is why I and thousands? Millions? Now no longer watch the NFL. Even in the clip above I looked at it and said ‘holy crap, nice catch.’ But apparently his shoulder(?) hit the line while he was ‘bobbling the ball’ (?) so it doesn’t count? No doubt this decision required a 5 minute review…

Because blizzard has been the most successful developer of video games since PC video games were (almost) a thing? Since what, ‘96?, they’ve out lived almost every game company out there, but have (until relatively recently) managed to stay true to their core. They’re among the last of the original studios that…

Meh

Super-non-humble brag: There was a former astronaut in my grad school program, he found out we shared a hobby and thus several times I went out and had beers with him. He was the coolest, chillest guy. My (future) wife never understood why I had/have such a huge man-crush on him.
