It’s the Cleric Conundrum, still around after all these years. “Man, our group would be much better if we had a healer.” “Me? Play a healer? BORING!”

Kind of a bummer that all her transition seemed to do is make bigots realize that they hadn’t hated trans people enough until last year. I feel like five years ago, the general consensus among jerks was “sex-changes (what they called it when I was a kid, THIRTY YEARS AGO) happen, and it’s not common enough to be upset…

Eh, the stroller thing sounds like your usual old man grump combined with a little celebrity entitle. I can’t be mad. Also, I agree because I don’t have kids and I hate sidewalk hogs.

I don’t know how many times I’ve been out at a Thai place and my friends are all, “Let’s get Pad Thai.”

OK, but.

He was asking because it’s proven to be worse for your chances of living a long life if you have a gun in your house. Guns might protect sometimes, but on average they don’t. Suicide is easier, kids play with guns and shoot each other or themselves, people forget to empty their weapons before cleaning, domestic…

I was once the groom in a marriage ceremony in Jamaica. At one point right before the start of the situation, I turned to the photographer to tell him something logistical that he might want to know. He cut me off and said, “This is gonna be a nooo-pra-blem wedding, mon!”

Duh, it’s the little guy that helps you with Word!

I was a little shocked when my doctor asked me if I had a gun in my house, but then I remembered I live in California.

Yeah, it’s likely your doctor will tell you to get rid of your gun.

Pretty good argument except for the hunting bit. I have no idea how you think that. No one is (actually) threatened by a deer, turkey, pheasant, or duck. Big game hunting, sure, but not domestic.

My first job out of college was at an asphalt plant. I was in charge of sifting gravel and baking asphalt samples in a 3000-degree furnace in uncooled shipping containers. On top of all that, the guy that was supposed to train me in all the interesting parts of the job got fired between my interview and my start date,…

OK, but TV is TV. I work in a situation where safety gear isn’t just for show, and it’s part of my job to tell people to wear it. Safety glasses are the #1 thing people neglect in my experience. On top of that, when people are doing home improvement projects, it’s doubtful they even have a pair of safety glasses…

I like this idea because sometimes there’s no good way to get the hammer on the right spot for those light-duty prys and then you have to go get the bar or cat’s claw or whatnot. I can see the benefit, but I don’t think I’d actually buy it - it just feels too fiddly.

Wait, what? Do you know Americans? Compulsive need for companies to tell you to wear safety goggles, maybe. I’ve had two situations in my life where I would have lost an eye if I wasn’t wearing safety glasses, so I’m a believer, but no one listens to me when I try to proselytize.

Think of all the reasons you or…

Just an anecdote: my family generally has pale skin and blue eyes, but one of my cousins has a North African parent, and he could be a model. Just because our overspecialized genotype is fading from the world, it should not be seen as a negative.

Infowars is your source? I trust that link as far as I could throw Alex Jones.

Back before they changed conferences, Iowa State used to love it when we underdogged a win against Nebraska. To Cornhuskers, it was just a guaranteed win they could sometimes get surprised by, not a rivalry.

JJ Abrams doesn’t care about true interstellar distance, so there’s no telling, really.

I never thought the Skipray was worse than all the other moving-parts vehicles in Star Wars. Why is that dumb but the Firespray, or the various Imperial Shuttles not?
