"water"

If someone's going to go as balls-out as Bolton has, I say good on him. This is pretty fucking hilarious (the interview, dunno about the special but I did like that Jack Sparrow thing).

@PenelopeRockatansky:disqus is right here. After Milo wrote his infamous article trying to normalize the alt-right, describing them as essentially the kind of trolls you're talking about, several of the specific people he named made public statements to the effect of "no, we really are nazis and we don't want a gay…

Wait, what? There's no way they would have let me buy it.

Dave Barry had a thing many years ago where he wrote that you should never trust people who are nice to you but rude to waiters, because they're not actually nice people.

Thanks. I strongly suspect that I’ll publish it at the end of the year and it will be politely noticed, and basically no one will ever use it, which seems to have been the fate of a couple of similar projects. But (a) I’m trying to do things better than they did, so maybe people will actually use it, (b) even if they…

Going to a board game thing at a colleague's friend's house on Saturday, no idea what we'll be playing but it sounds like they have a bunch of things. I declined joining their regular 5e game as I'm just too exhausted to commit myself to anything like that for the time being, although it would be fun.

I agree, except I think exactly the opposite. It’s not the best you can say about them, it’s the worst you can say about them. Yes, they have inherent limitations, but those are not a deal-breaker for me, and within those limitations they excel.
Clearly it’s a product for mass consumption. That seems a very odd…

If the origin story in the new spiderman takes more than 10 minutes I'm going to rip someone's spine out.

I kind of get your point, and I've often thought that there should be a cap of a B+ for pretty much any comic movie for this reason - they're pretty much never going to rise above the expectations of the form.

There was a really good place in Vancouver called “Bich Nga”, but someone must have told them because they changed the name.

I feel like you deserve some sort of medal for this.

I always heard it said as "fu, like in "fucking"". Which is the same as "duh", I suppose.

That should be its own reward, you don't need the presidency as well.

This very site's newswire posted a video of one of the confrontations at some film festival. It was… odd. And I'm too lazy to look it up.

Well…. it'll be magic if you actually want horses, I guess.

That is not one of the ways that issue is mindblowing.

A standard drink you can get in most Japanese izakaya is a glass half full with soju and ice, with a grapefruit on the side and a squeezer. The DIYness of it makes it more fun, and it's a great summer drink.

I mean, it is certainly possible to have a higher percentage of alcohol, but after 4 or 5 shots of this you've got a buzz going.

But I'm willing to bet money (without actually checking, or risking any actual money because you don't know me) that the average age of poor single mothers is substantially lower, so it's hardly unreasonable. I knew several people who were pregnant just out of high school, and grew up in a middle class-ish area.
