Some of the death-defying stunts turned out to be too terrifying for the test audience. They also digitally rotated the final cliffhanger scene 45 degrees and dubbed in new dialog. "Don't let go! I could get bruised rolling down this hill!"

Well said. I only wish I could make my own deep love and sympathy for every single supernumerary stinking buzzing human being shine through like that.

Sanders has all but conceded the election and endorsed Hillary by now. I'm not expecting to see many Sanders voters abstain or vote Sanders again in swing states when the national elections come around. It's a truism that there are idiots in every camp. The loudmouth idiots are not representative.

With those words, the ghost of Tartakovsky's AD faded and disappeared, never to return.

Ea-nasir would be forgotten today if he hadn't been such an asshole 3800 years ago. That's a much more profitable way to make a name for yourself.

Kidnap Evan's cat.

Oh. Of course not.

What is the name of the objection or pleading or motion or whatever that you can do to automatically win a lawsuit? I remember seeing it in a movie once. The lawyer was like, "We can't win. If you do this, they'll do that." And then the scrappy lady replied, "But what if we do that first?" And the lawyer was like,

Your upvote or downvote is on hold until my friends and I have determined whether this should be considered funny.

Kids who see their parents consistently receive appreciation for behaving helpfully, who parents ask for (not demand) each others' help and show appreciation for that, and who see that both parents are willing to disagree with the other, reliably reach a single conclusion: if you help then people appreciate it. Being

This was probably your point, but there is no official (or even meteorologist-official) first day of summer in America. No, not even the summer solstice.

No and no? You can always identify individual people to make Denmark sound like Nazi Germany, or America to look like WWII Japan, but slight quantitative differences can be discerned. In terms of explicit objectives and methods announced by the government, there are also qualitative differences.

Um, I'm pro-choice.

Do you actually think the majority of Japanese hated and feared their government and opposed the war? Cite please. If you wish to fall back on anecdotes about small numbers of people, make sure you have at least 35 million.

We do not give the lane the choice of being other than left, but if everybody started driving in the other direction, it would become a right lane. That is a sad commentary on how society imposes its conventions upon all of us or something.

People are used to Javascript doohickeys in the interweb pages. It's possible that a future Facebook update could make it so sharing a specially crafted post and typing '77' underneath would do something special. I suppose the dumbest part is overlooking that with that kind of setup, the trick doesn't actually have to

One should be skeptical when a person purports to apply religious views they don't hold, with an ulterior motive to support conclusions that person reached by a different route. (My female Catholic friend has choice words for non-Catholics explaining to Catholics how Catholicism is supposed to work.) In Thomson's

"Is the fetus human?" — where in this context by human I mean "a life about as valuable as that of a healthy born child" — is the primary question in the abortion debate. The reason you're not persuaded by arguments on that point is that you think the answer is no (so do I). But if the answer is yes, body autonomy

From what little I have seen, Dude Perfect's schtick is to attempt feats of accuracy like the ones they set up for Serena over and over until they make it, leaving the misses on the cutting room floor. I would rather see demonstrations of skill instead of patience.
