This seems reasonable and within the FDA's purview—nicotine's a drug.

If that's your attitude toward your workforce, I suspect there's not enough money in the world to entice me to work for you in the first place.

I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it racially insensitive, but good lord is it poorly made. It's like someone gave the assignment to a not-too-bright intern who tried to show off.

I'm guessing one of them has a pacemaker and they're paranoid about it.

It's a *five-part* YA book series; they could have had four sequels had they not fucked it up.

Other than the gender-split cast of six, Coupling was a bit more like an American Seinfeld—more ambitious story structures than Friends ever tried.

I barely remembered the Red Dwarf remake, but Coupling was uniquely bizarre. Miscast from top to toe (you could accurately size up all of the characters from the original on first glance alone) and completely meaningless when rendered in American English.

Seriously. When people make excuses for homophobia, it just demonstrates that they don't take it as seriously as other forms of bigotry.

I was a regular canker sore sufferer until I switched to SLS-free toothpastes. They can take a little longer to find but it's well worth the trouble.

Let's not. Immunization is about risk reduction, not about 100% prevention, and the immunized kid might get sick.

Yeah, absent specific instructions or informed advice to the contrary, business attire is always the way to go in an interview. That doesn't necessarily mean a suit per se, though; unless you're in a very traditional and conservative field with certain expectations, a blazer and tie will do just fine in the winter,…

Looks a lot like Star Command for iOS. Not a bad game, but I'd hardly call it any kind of successor to Mass Effect. And unless there's way more to it than can be seen in that promo video, it's not worth even the lowest KS tier.

At his request, I went to this guy's neighborhood, about half an hour away from midtown. He was about 10 minutes late to the appointed meeting place, straight from the gym and still unchanged.

Someone would have been unhappy with the Tali reveal no matter what they did. Given that it's a tiny image seen only if you complete her romance path, why should they have devoted substantial resources to it? So the Quarians, whom we will probably never again see outside their suits, look like slightly Photoshopped…

I'm getting Lisa Robin Kelly, god rest her soul.

I saw this on the same day I saw Jeremy Blaustein's new game. I guess I'll sell plasma or something.

The Kaidan romance scenes improve over the course of the game (the last few are really sweet), but a couple of them are just creepy. "And there are...benefits to that happiness." Ew.

Fair enough. She's also gratuitously nasty to just about everyone other than Shepard. It was such a relief to kill her; the next post-mission debriefing was the first one where no one interrupted with a bitchy aside.

Kaidan is the most useful squad member in ME3. No one else but EDI can take down both shields and armor, and he stays alive longer and hits harder.

If you can't deal with somebody disliking something you like, it's on you, dude.
