This reminds me of one of my favorite games— Half Life 2 (I know, I’m old)— where, when you get to Ravenholm, you can earn an “achievement” if you get through the whole thing without using a gun.

Having done my share of computer vision for robotic surgery, this is tougher than most people realize.

Honest question: how often does Trump actually see his youngest son, comically named after his own stupid PR alter-ego? I realize that it’s an unusual situation: he is President, and old-- thus likely out of touch with typical shit that a kid might be into. And he’s also selfish, and thus unlikely to care about those…

Criminally underrated comment. Kudos.

I used to play a football manager/simulation game called Front Office Football. The premise is pretty simple: you draft your team (or let the computer), sign them all, make your trades, etc., and play through a season. In the off-season, you can do things like set ticket and parking prices, etc., and of course, sign…

Yeah... I mean, it is. Like, if you and your partner-to-be loved Star Wars, it would prepresent (almost certainly) decades of your life. You would have spent years investing in it individually, and then years more as a couple. Fine.

How sad do you have to be as a couple to make your wedding about Trump? Like, parroting his stupid campaign slogan as a social media hashtag for your wedding? And a fucking chocolate bar in gold foil with “Trump” stamped in it?! It’s sorta pathetic.

I know others have pointed this out, but I still can’t get over it: Trump spent years— even into his campign— complaining about this country. For him, it was becoming “third world” with its ruined infrastructure, it was a laughingstock, etc., etc., etc. Yet no one who is defending him now ever suggested then that he…

Slavery is complicated to be sure. But I’m not sure what your point is. No one doubts that slavery has a long history-- there are whole parts of the legal system in the Hebrew Bible that talks about how to treat various types of slaves. Americans base their “odd” view of slavery on American history, because that’s…

Yeah, I got that sense in Upstate NY as well. Yeah, you have places like Syracuse or Ithaca, but get out into the sticks and you hear comments that you thought were reserved for places far further south.

Poe’s law. I can’t figure out if this is sarcasm or real.

Yes, and aparantly at some point in the past, a male ancestor of his was born out of wedlock.

Disclaimer : I’m a Republican who did not vote for Trump, will not vote for trump, and resigned from a job in political consulting when told I was up for contract for his campaign.

is to do away with all limits on the amount of money teams can spend on salaries, both in total and on individuals, so that teams in places like Salt Lake City and Milwaukee can actually pay however much extra money it’d take to get dynamic young celebrities to want to come live and play there.

This is amazing. I haven’t watch TNG enough (and when I did it was long ago) and never noticed this. Has this been discussed before— like, has he stated that this was part of Riker’s character? Or is that how Jonathan Frakes naturally sits?!?

“The overall width of the pelvis is relatively greater in females and the angle of the femoral neck is more acute. These factors could play a role in making a position of sitting with the knees close together less comfortable in men”

Grew up in Stillwater. I still recall the first game of his final (Heisman) season (listening on the radio— I forget if it was on TV, but Dad always turned off the TV volume and tuned into the local radio guys). No one knew who we was, and we were coming off of having Thurman Thomas in the backfield. First play,…

Shit, even if he got the exact same deal as Obama, his base will still say it was better than anything Obama could do

I’m Oklahoman, like Warren, and though I am much younger than she is, I recall as a kid growing up that it was a thing for people to say that they were some fraction of some tribe. It’s not like they or their families were card-carrying members who went to tribal events, etc. It was just family lore.

Just here to say that I wish that when people wrote the line “I’m shocked, shocked I tell you” that they’d use a fucking dash. I don’t care which one, but the comma isn’t doing it.
