Oh man… it’s one thing for “Elvis” to marry you.. BUT NOW HE CAN MARRY YOU IN HIS OWN MFIN PLANE

Sigh. That’s why you don’t use real text as placeholder text.

“mistakenly published”

Did you recall something she said or did that upset you or did you have to Google her once you saw the obituary to decide how you should feel about it?

When I was in junior high, everybody came out of Titanic with a crush on Leonardo DiCaprio, but Kate Winslet was something else entirely. She was like a totemic embodiment of femininity. 

Because “you’re not the boss of me” has become the defining political philosophy of one of our major parties. 

Because we live in a deeply stupid and diseased country that’s allergic to regulation for fear of limiting the “free” market and losing corporate donations to either party.

Explosive rounds+damage range attachments for snipers/marksman is the ideal loadout in DMZ for taking out NPCs and downing players. But if we’re talking 6v6, I wouldn’t carry armor piercing ammo over 60 rounds for assault rifles or the base 75 rounds for some LMGs.

Jesus Christ, are we reaping the results of a generation of latch-key kids that never had a parent around to give them some structure? Just a sea of man-children folding their arms, pouting and screaming, “You can’t tell me what to do! I do whatever I want!”

If Shatner donated all his money to charity and Takei ate a live baby, I think I’d still be on Team Takei.

I’m still waiting for Hollywood to wake up and realize that bad books are much easier to adapt into good movies than good books

If it is a fleeting dream that’s all the more reason to hold onto it.

Could be both, I suppose.

counterpoint: it takes extreme courage to admit such a mistake in a public forum like this, with your writing reputation on the line. do you think you have that much courage?

How do you comment without reading the article”

I watched because of Key but I was blown away by Johnny Knoxville. He put such pathos into a former bad-boy alco-druggie fuckup who now realizes that he’s a middle-aged man with NOTHING to show for his life.  

“Publisher EA uses Easy Anti-Cheat, which has given me an error preventing me from even launching the game that every published workaround—from running the program as an administrator to disabling overlays (?) to editing my PC’s bios (??!!)—hasn’t solved. And so for one whole month, a game that I own and have never…

Isn’t it more tragic if the characters are actively making fully fleshed out decisions based on their personalities? Like the reason the Red Wedding hit so hard wasn’t because it was a misunderstanding, it’s because Cat and Robb had both made decisions that while understandable were totally misguided.
