“Sour Patch Kids are a lot to work through, especially when we have their softer, more forgiving counterparts, the Watermelons, available to enjoy.”

How in the world are Sour Skittles more extreme than Warheads? I love sour skittles. (Though the roof of my mouth DID just suffer an reflexive recoil somehow just now when thinking about them.)

No, that’s what you call people when you’re a corny nerd.

In california, i literally have no idea what to wear to a job interview at this point. As a 20-something job seeker in new york a decade and a half ago, a suit was standard. Now there are people in my office in shorts and flip flops with socks. If a guy came in wearing a suit he would look absolutely ridiculous. At…

At this point, I think I care more about the prequels than the final books. I read the books so long ago now and have all the details convoluted with the show, and I don’t really want to go back and read them again, and at this point anything that Martin comes up with will either reinforce the badness of the last…

Of all of Trumps many many many faults, the fact that his default comment/defense of people in his admin/friends who have done wrong is “I feel very badly” is one of the most annoying things his does. You feel BAD, not BADLY. It’s just one of the myriad things Trump does that stupid people do to try to sound smart.  

i mean, only if he kept moving...

Yeah, pretty much the perfect airplane movie. Rudd is always good, glad to see him do something a little different. But... just OK. Interesting story though. Probably deserves a better movie.

Everything about Duncan Hunter- from the name to the stupid face to the just moronic state of his being- suggests that if vaping didn’t exist, he’d have invented it.

“Be it Mets, Jets, or Net...”

As a Phillies fan, I really don’t recall much difference between Lidge’s 2008 and 2009. That “perfect season” they touted so much was really smoke and mirrors, and there was hardly ever a save that I felt really good about.

Overvaluing a Proven Closer™ in 2019 is an extremely on-brand Mets thing to do though.

Right? Clearly this writer has never been in the NYC subway during a drizzle. It’s like a whole other ecosystem down there when it rains.

Hey, if no one complained about Jason Mamoa playing maybe the most consistently-looking Aryan aquatic fictional character ever, too late to complain about Ariel!

In my experience the person in front of me reclining has no effect on my tray table. As far as I’ve seen, the tray remains flat regardless of the position of the seat to which it’s attached. The only bothersome part is i’m on my laptop or iPad, then maybe the top gets a little encroached on. But that’s it. And it’s a…

There are SO many other things on a flight that you could complain about, and you’re complaining about someone being more comfortable?

I think it’s mildy dickish to even be slightly offended that the person in front of you is reclining. There’s no Right to Recline. There’s also no Right of Consideration for passengers behind you. If the seat reclines, recline away. Am I supposed to be offended if someone crams themselves into the seat next to me on…

On the rare occasions I cash in points and upgrade to a business class or first class seat, I am always torn- should i put that freaking seat into a lie-down bed and just sleep the whole way, or do I stay awake and get two pretty decent meals, some nice snacks, and free booze and just watch movies for hours and hours?

Totally agree. How is this even an argument? The seats recline! everyone recline! ESPECIALLY on a long-haul flight.

Exactly. I have a friend who refuses to recline her seat and he thinks she’s doing god’s work or something. You paid for the seat. Your seat reclines. Recline it unapologetically. Don’t want to recline your seat? Buy a seat in front of the emergency exit row.
