So basically they were trying the “Buy, Borrow, Die” strategy without actually owning assets to take out loans against?

Just the idea of framing the Addams’ as “outcasts” is bizarre since the entire premise of the Addams Family is that “incredibly rich aristocrats can afford to be weird, what if they were incredibly weird and because they don’t generally mix with other people they don’t really recognize this.” Specifically if Morticia…

Cereal, like a hot dog, is a sandwich.

He might be better at selling pokemon cards than he was ultimately at football.  If you wanted a guy to make a tackle six yards downfield- he was the linebacker for you.

I’ve always wondered what you’re supposed to call the place that manufactures the cheesecakes sold at the Cheesecake Factory.

“Fufu” seems genuinely hard to mispronounce.  Like, there’s not a lot of choices there.

The tragic part is that people still believe it’s worth anything at all.

Sam’s Club: https://www.samsclub.com/content/returns

Sam’s Club stuff is almost always higher quality than you get at Wal-Mart. It’s not that different than Costco’s really. The difference is usually something like “Sam’s Clubs sells tires but CostCo does not, CostCo has more organic food, etc.”  These things aren’t all that different, but if one has the mouthwash you…

I feel like the main reason one chooses one warehouse club over another has less to do with “yearly membership is $10 cheaper” or “hotdogs are cheaper” and more to do with “it’s closer to me” and “this one sells things the other one doesn’t.”

I mostly like Vegas because the Mojave is really beautiful certain times of year (like in the spring, when the flowers bloom) and it’s very cheap to fly and stay there.  I don’t even go to the strip.

I’m just not sure how you make something that works equally well on both “a $3,000 surround system” and “shitty laptop speakers.”

Like a user on twitter has three fields they can define that identify the account: display name, username, and avatar. For verified users, changing the username removes verified status.

These feel like movies that I’m very interested in reading about, but will never actually bother to watch.  Since “what other people are putting into or getting out of the film” is much more interesting me than I what I would get out of it (roughly 2 hours of averting my eyes.)

It’s not surprising that Gamergate was the inciting incident for much of the young radicalized right on the internet, what with when it happened right wing figures that weren’t even into video games were some of its thought leaders (Peterson, Sommers, Cernovich, Yiannopolis, etc.)  The fact that so many institutions…

I’m a fan of the books and I don’t see anything about the adaptation that doesn’t fall into the standard “this is the sort of thing you do when you adapt something” bin. Like they could not possibly keep the “why exactly is Nilfgaard invading” mystery a secret for as long as they did in the books.  I think a lot of…

Geralt seemed like a character that plays much more to Cavill’s strengths than Kal El does, but superhero movies sometimes make a billion dollars and it’s not hard to see a good Superman movie doing those numbers (we haven’t had one of those in like 40 years).

I would assume that in a skills based multiplayer mode if you get matched with players who are much better than you, and thus lose you would then get ranked down and end up in a match with people who are closer to your skill level. So at most you’re going to have to play a few matches against players who are…

I mean, Iowa gas stations make pretty decent pizza so there’s no reason that 7-11 couldn’t also have some decent food made in house.

As someone born in the early 80s, I’m going to start calling myself a Gummy Worms Early Adopter.
