I’m with you on this one. This should’ve been a high-school kid’s date or party movie (Do they still make goth kids? I’d have been all over this shit at 15). They should have pushed it to a hard-ish PG-13; instead they shut a huge chunk of their target audience out of the theater.

Just for a little context, in spring 2003 I was slated to go to Turkey, with the plan for the attack on Iraq being a pincer coming from Turkey in the north and Kuwait in the south. Literally a month before we were supposed to get there, Turkey reversed course and said we couldn’t come through their country. It threw…

So she used an unauthorized emergency code push to create a popup across Google employee’s browsers when they visit internal or certain external websites? As a developer, I see... at least three fireable offences in that sentence, particularly for a security specialist, and I didn’t finish the article.

Yeah, I didn’t catch the reference at first either, it’s a reference to the Eminem song. I’d link the vid but I’m at work, but just google it if you don’t remember the song and you’ll get the reference, and why it’s so insipid in the way that it’s used.

“We have imbalances in our tastes because we are secretly werewolves. “

My wife makes her grandmother’s recipe for pretty much every holiday, it’s awesome. And so stupid easy, it’s actually better if you make it the day before and let it mellow in the fridge for a while. If we have back-to-back holiday parties (not unusual since both our parents are divorced) she’ll double up the recipe…

Weird that Carolla and Rogan, the two most popular personality-driven podcasts of the decade except maybe for Maron, didn’t make the list.

My wife and I got burned on bad family dinners a couple of times, now we have a tradition of “Emergency Tacos”. For every major family holiday, we pre-buy a kit of Old El Paso, ground chuck and fixins, and if the meal sucks (cold cuts for Christmas dinner?) or we never get around to eating (kid disasters, bad timing,…

How can so many people be so wrong?  At my Mother-in-law’s, we’ll have a fresh cranberry sauce and the canned stuff, I make sure to get a helping of each.

The lack of Queens of the Stone Age ...like Clockwork is complete garbage.  Should be top 10.

I saw Return to Oz on tv about 1989, I’d have been 8ish. Scared the bejeezus out of me. I think I still see those wheeler guys in my nightmares. I also think I already had a thing for Fairuza Balk.

Is this new in NYC? Here in the ‘Burgh, I’ve been ordering morning coffee from the app while pulling up to the bus stop for a couple years. There’s a special section of the counter for us, we don’t even do the handoff (which is fine by me), just pick up the latte with your name on it and keep moving.

I’ll second Ice Cream, I’ve tried it maybe a half dozen times (even bought a stupid machine) and it never works out right.

heh it’s not a smear!  Pepperoni pizza is the default “I’m getting a couple pizzas” because it’s good, it might not be everybody’s favorite but it’s a safe bet that everybody that’s not a veg will eat it.  I feel the same way about General Tso’s, it might not be what you’re in the mood for that second but nobody is…

Cooking and eating together is pretty much my wife and I’s favorite pasttime (well, with one obvious exception). It’s our time away from the kids, we make awesome food, listen to music, goof around a little, talk about stuff we’re too busy to talk about during the day, then put some grown-up show on teevee and enjoy…

General Tso’s, to me, is the ultimate fake-Chinese food. It’s the Pepperoni Pizza of default “I’m getting Chinese” dishes.  I’m amazed it didn’t go in the first round, much less make the list.

Interesting to accuse Shapiro, Carolla and Prager of being MAGA guys; Shapiro in particular has been very critical of Trump (he takes shit from the right for being a “Never Trumper”) and the other two are at best lukewarm on him. Also interesting that the article didn’t mention guys like massive Trump fans Van Jones…

Clean it and switch to Linux :)

My first job was at a walk-through amusement park attraction. You were basically a G-rated insult comic for the entire shift, just standing around fucking with people in line and occasionally doing tours. I’ve always said it’s going to be my retirement job, I had a blast at that gig.

Eh, yeah, tough to say. SM has sold 380 some odd million books over the years, and sure lots of those people died before the movie came out, but then again lots of nerds like me read the old books too. If we’re conservative and say that Mysterio is in 5% of those books, that’s 19M comics with the character sold before…
