It started with the goddamn chocolate chip cookies and kept on going from there. She wasn’t “likeable” becuase she didn’t fit any of the established roles at the time; people literally didn’t know what to make of a woman who was as powerful, smart, and openly ambitious as her.

I’ve always heard that an addict has to commit to recovery for themselves, that it won’t work if they’re doing it for a romantic partner. But I do know someone for whom it’s worked out more or less that way for quite a while now. It wasn’t just here alone, he definitely wanted to overcome his addiction for himself as…

That’s the point of contention, the contract didn’t say anything about whether or not it would be an exclusively theatrical release, becuase at the time the contract was written anything else would have been inconceivable. The legal argument is that it was assumed by all parties. That’s a reasonable assumption to me…

Yeah but didn’t she get a straight percentage of the box office take as well, not just a bonus? Without seeing the whole contract and all the raw numbers from both the box office and streaming we can only be speculating here becuase there are multiple movie parts in this sort of contract. It’s really easy to take one…

They’d have to be King sized for me. Also I have no creative output to speak of.

I suppose it depends on how you define the boundaries of the solar system. The heliopause is 90 AU so by that definition yes. But the sun’s gravitational dominance extends out to the edge of the Oort Cloud, which is up to 2,000 AU. If there is a astronomical body orbiting the sun out in the Oort Cloud and it meets…

So I actually ate at his restaurant in Las Vegas this weekend, fully expecting it to be horrible. My wife and her friend love cheesy pop culture stuff and really wanted to try trash can nachos. I got the “Rise and Swine”, which was an open faced French toast, BBQ pork, and scrambled egg sandwich. I hate the name but…

legislate a ban and hope technology will catch up.

The problem is that when there are a lot of cars on the road you want to be able to notice them all equally, it’s bad when one gets more of your attention than others. If everyone has lights with the same intensity you’ll naturally notice those right in front of you more than ones in another lane, which is what you…

lol this guy knows nothing about you, has not clue if you’re a good driver or not, but feels qualified to pass judgement on whether or not you should have a driver’s license.

OK, I know I’m nitpicking here, but I’m also being 100% honest when I say this. Those Mustang lights are beyond annoying and for me, present a small but real hazard. The problem? They’re too noticeable and I have ADHD. Normally when someone turns on their turn signal, it’s something I can notice without it dominating…

on top of that, probably a solid majority of people ultimately don’t want to take revenge that far. Initially, sure. The victim’s wife must have thought about it more than once, but now it sounds like she wants an apology (and presumably financial compensation becuase that’s only fair). I think most people understand…

The fact that he owes back child support makes me less suspicious that he was using the cash for anything drug-related. Of course skipping out on child support is shitty to begin with, but this is an example of why you can’t simply say “only drug dealers carry that much cash, therefore you must be a drug dealer”. 

Do you remember any of your bus drivers from school? Otto from the Simpsons wasn’t far off from a couple that I remember... it would be a toss-up to me without considering the refusal to vaccinate, when you throw that in there I’d rather have my kid driven by someone with better judgement, so I’ll go with the random…

Well, technically not ALL year round... but when it wasn’t snowing it was 100 degrees in the shade without a cloud in sight!

Not only that, but you have to work a split shift, you usually can’t get 40 hours in a week, and you have to deal with other people’s shithead kids... I live right by the school bus depot for the local school district and see the sign they have for driver openings most days, and while it’s occasionally tempting when…

Oh this is nothing compared to my spare tire, although the difficulty is entirely my fault. Mine is in the typical underfloor location, but my subwoofer is above it. And becuase there is literally no flat surface in the back of my car large enough to mount my amps, they’re mounted to the subwoofer box. In the past…

Well I think that might have been Richard's job, but he decided to sabotage the whole thing for his own benefit instead. 

Well he legit fell in love with a holodeck character, to the point where the romulans scanned his brain and found that she was the love of his life... So you know he had to have given that another try

Why are you so sure? What's going to spontaneously make him better than he was when there are others who performed better? Wouldn't those other candidates get better with practice as well?
