And then you retired to the french rivera on the ill gotten gains from your “old shitty VHS tapes for ALL THE MONIES” scam. Jesus, it’s bad enough when you get accused of something at work, but it’s the worst when you get accused of a scam that would net you less than your hourly pay if successfully pulled off.

(Editor’s Note: OK, I’m blanking on what this could be. Where the hell serves both terrible pizza and breakfast?)

I think your logic is correct, but your conclusion is incorrect. You’re right that the premise of a watched pot requires that it be watched, and though we know it will boil either way, it will only boil as a watched pot if it is watched. Once you stop watching it, it ceases to be a watched pot and will boil as an…

He’s probably just upset that he couldn’t get the number he wanted.

Huh? The NFL alters the schedule a few hours in order to bolster viewership. This article is pretty well laying out that FIFA is fixing the tables in order to advance their most marketable teams. Two very different things.

Not really the same thing. The playoff rules and divisions are set before the season, and everyone knows who they have to beat to qualify. I think this would be more like the NFL moving the Seahawks to the AFC south before the seasons in order to try and set up a Seahawks/Pats divisional round game for ratings…

Sadly, one does not require an overabundance of intelligence to run fast, miss tackles at gunner, and fail in pass coverage.

Murakami is fantastic. I think if they ever do a list based off of surrealism, postmodernism, or fatalism, his books will populate the list. The way he writes about loneliness and depravity/despair is so... “airy”. When I read his books, it’s like I’m dreaming.

Damn straight... rereading it right no with my wife. Gave it to my 19 yo son

Did anyone expect to go from this

Love will have a better record than than the 49ers this year.

Wait, someone was able to cut short the time this woman was on screen?

“Racial imbalances do not always disfavor minorities. Just look at the NBA, where the majority of the physical labor is performed by black people, but the ownership is almost exclusively white. Wait, what was my point?”

In short, because people don’t like to use the gender neutral pronoun “it,” so they tend to use “he” instead. This doesn’t look like some nefarious plan to increase sales by making the raptors boys. It looks like lazy writing that’s evidence of some sexism, which Rob is blowing way out of proportion.

While I don’t deny that there’s a general problem with genderwashing toys for kids (No Gamora, No Black Widow etc), I don’t agree that this is necessarily part of that.
Isn’t it far more likely that the blurb for this toy was written by some harried copywriter who hadn’t been shown the film and wasn’t aware of the “All…

Yeah but with you, even your posts about Schrodinger’s Cat are simultaneously not about Schrodinger’s Cat.

Don’t you wish you could “undo” your snarky, pontifical comment?

In regular editing, wouldn’t it be wise to spell it correctly the first time or not Cut a block of text first instead of having to Undo it? Why do they have that stupid button?!

This is true, but it’s not a relevant point; it allows you to quickly overlook your message and pull it back if you so desire. If you accidentally hit send too soon, forget a recipient, forget an attachment, feel like you could word something better, it hits you within those few seconds.

Obviously, yes, that is wise. Are you suggesting though that having an undo option after the fact isn’t also nice?
