One word: Trekkies.

So, basically...if you have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, there’s no reason to consider subscribing to Peacock until the 2021 Olympics roll around. Unless maybe you’re a huge English soccer fan.

It could be applied to a lot of other “it seemed like a good idea at the time” decisions - eating half a large pizza in one sitting, staying up playing video games until 2:30 in the morning when you know full well you need to be up for work at 7:30, attempting to stay friends with an ex when there’s no kid or business…

Strange...I still view a lot of the people I get into arguments with in person as “mindless” and not particularly capable human beings. 

I usually try not to wish other people ill, but seeing Moscow Mitch on a ventilator with the ‘Rona would give me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

You just gotta hang on for six more months, RBG!!!

As much as I enjoyed LiS1 and Before the Storm, I lost interest LiS2 by halfway through the third episode. Let’s hope this game gets them back on track.

Teachers as a profession tend to skew much older than the general population. Recent teaching grads usually outright burn out or quit to stay at home with young children within their first 5 years. The majority of K-12 teachers in the classroom are either people hanging on for dear life because they’re too close to…

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

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.

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.

This X1000. The contents of the bottle are almost as offensive as the branding.

A lot of the problem is that there is so much money being injected into the system via both monetary and fiscal policies, and it has to go somewhere. Interest rates are back down to negligible levels, so bonds aren’t appealing. Inflation is edging up, which erodes the buying power of idle cash. The fundamentals of…

Yeah, it’s really more a comment on the impact of social media and the internet on the speed and immediacy of the global flow of ideas than it is about either MLK or George Floyd as people.

The full quote required reading more than two coherent sentences, and it’s hard to sustain both focus and outrage when you’re busy thinking through the intent of the statement.

That’s been one of the liberating things to come out of the pandemic. I started buzzing my hair with clippers a few weeks ago, and I have zero desire to waste another dime on professional hair services.

And why are there crates of ammo for weapons from the Milky Way *everywhere* in Andromeda? Seriously- you’ve never met anyone from our solar system before, but you somehow have huge stockpiles of our ammo?!
