They probably wonder how they went so so wrong. Getting the spinach dip starter, AND saying yes to the guacamole?  The profligacy...

Not really, I don’t think. Fantasy sports gives your sports-watching the edge and rooting interest that gambling does, but without the losing the house and the kids’ college fund part. It makes you care about that Hurricanes vs. Blue Jackets afternoon game in November, because you’ve got Pierre-Luc Dubois on your…

Nerdier: we played campaign scenarios in Star Fleet Battles. We’d allocate our vast fleets in various sectors of the playable galaxy we’d drawn up, ‘unveil’ how our forces were distributed to our opponents, and then the horse trading would begin. “You have three frigates in that sector and I have a battle station and…

I was 14 and someone held me under in a pool and I drown.

you shit on players for being “traders” to your organization

Bad puns in the comments have lost the potential to irritate me.

I will not look at poll numbers and be hurt again.  That this be a horse race still, that the Democrats can’t run Koko the Gentle Orangutan and win with 90% of the vote is terrifying to me.  What does Donald Trump have to do to lose his 40% rock-bottom base?

It’s outlandish that he even got voted in. Now, no matter how much or how many times he proves his incompetence, criminality and corruption, 40% of the U.S. doggedly support him.  And I think the polls are underestimating his support, that his voters underreport themselves, the segment that has any shame.

Possible. At this point I’ve cut myself off from Splinter, I’ll burst a blood vessel in my brain if I don’t stop. So I don’t have the blow-by-blow of the recent tumult in the administration, I don’t really care. I’m just white-knuckling it until the next election, with 50% confidence this crook/clown and his enablers…

Yeah, you always have to consider that you’re getting one side of the story, but to me, it’s pretty clear that this guy is fixated on the cost/unit of the wine, rather than just relaxing and enjoying his good fortune that he, his lovely wife and her sister are lucky enough to live somewhere they can go out to enjoy…

This makes you wonder what exactly John Bolton did to offend his boss. We’ll let the dust settle but eventually, the truth will leak and the articles will be published and we’ll learn what so displeased Uncle Vladimir.

To me, the juvenile snorting and giggling along betrayed his complete lack of character and moral fiber.  What’s the phrase about morality being about behaving as though your mother/children are watching you at all times?  Well Billy Bush bombed that test, he chose sophomoric clowning to get along with an evil creep…

I’ve posted on this a few times already, but why is this necessary, why is this happening? Was the U.S. desperate for a return of Billy Bush to host one of its nothing shows? Isn’t there a stockpile of glib vapid $100 haircut white men with media training to interview our middling showbiz stars?

Thanks for taking the time to explain, good stuff.

A lot of time Salty gets heat for the profoundly stupid questions people ask, and I’m tempted to clamber aboard that shade train, but I try to remember I may have a few more spins around the sun than the person asking the question, and more experience in the hospitality industry. Salty does well to go over what we may…

Psorry...

-1 for using the correct ‘window’ rather than the appropriate ‘winda’.

Just linking back to the other thread where Dom talks with Jimmy Farris about the Antonio Brown-Raiders fiasco, the point is raised that if it matters to the guys in the locker room, then it mattters. And if his teammates view that treatment as disrespectful and unfair and it affects the authority and esteem the coach…

‘pedantic pet peeve guy‘

You can reduce it to the absurd, and I suspect you want to do this for your own agenda, but it’s more complicated than that. Dom took the time to transcribe a pretty long conversation, the least you could do is do it justice.
