Exactly. I watched that video half-expecting it to end with the lady accidentally shooting her husband in the back of head.

If we didn’t have to contend with my wife’s “real housewives” addiction, we could easily get by with a $12 Hulu subscription, a powered antenna to get live OTA network TV, the Netflix account that comes with our T-Mo mobile service and Prime Video from the Amazon Prime account that we’d be paying for, anyway.

And FB could also fix the algorithm that’s made the “groups” section of the iOS app into a hot mess of irrelevant garbage, that’d be great, too.

That’s basically Dr. McCoy’s objection to being teleported.

THIS!! Because “look at how racist Trump is” plays into the same pointless circular debate we’ve been having with working class white America for the past four years. “Trump has been aware of the Russians covertly offering jihadists and militants bounties for the confirmed deaths of US service members and did less…

I think the real danger of the polls isn’t that there is necessarily a phantom cohort of hardcore Trumpsters trying to mess with preliminary numbers. The real danger is the assurance that kind of lead provides to people who have only a passing interest in politics to sit back and say, “It’s a given that Trump’s going…

We were never truly the heroes we once thought ourselves to be, but we’ve completely become living caricatures of the “ugly, selfish, ignorant American” stereotypes the rest of the world holds about us.

He’s still got quite a runway to cash out of enough of his FB exposure that he’ll still be one of the world’s richest people for the rest of his days no matter how it all pans out.  I’m not sure he cares that much one way or another.

Why bother? Other than the improved load times from a solid state drive and possibly improved connectivity, it sounds like you’d probably be better off just nabbing an XB1X instead of spending extra on a nerfed Lockhart/Series S.

Not to worry.  The Joint Chiefs probably took the real launch codes out of the football shortly after Trump took office and distributed them amongst themselves. It wouldn’t shock me at all if the football’s been full of nothing but hard-to-decipher old budget spreadsheets for the past 3.5 years.

I will never be able to eat a Rueben sandwich again.  Thanks.

I suppose it could save you from having to carry your car key around all the time. It’s not anything earth-shattering, but I can see where it could be convenient.

It’d be kind of fun to see it as an early-aughts period piece. 

Nah. If they run out of things to fight about, they come up with new things to fight about. Kids are resourceful like that.

I never said I don’t appreciate them. I love them dearly. It’s just that the roar of life around here has forced me to invest in better headphones to stay productive. And up my running mileage to stay sane.

Try being safer-at-home with your spouse and four kids for the past three months. Quiet becomes a precious and rare commodity.

Big, over-the-top action/fantasy/sci-fi movies can be a better experience in a big theater with an impressive sound system. Think Marvel, Star Wars, etc.

Learned that with Mass Effect Andromeda. I mean, it ended up being a mostly ok game after the fifth or sixth patch. But it was a mess at launch (to say nothing of the holes in the plot and play mechanics).

Eh, I would say there are some games that deserve the highest possible score - maybe not 100% perfect (because of the subjectivity of games, it’s hard to say that one person’s masterpiece will please everyone) - but all that could be asked of the game and more.

We just have to stall them until demographics make their further ascent statistically unlikely.
