I feel like this show is also a lot like Girls, except that it actually has characters that are somewhat sympathetic that we would actually want to be around - and is depicting a slice of life that very few people get to see (that they may actually WANT to see).

He doesnt say anything definitive about the sock, but referring to this as “this one time Curt behaved like an insecure tool” makes it sound like this was an anomaly and not you know his MO.

I’d guess he is only culturally Jewish - just like the handful of atheist Jews I know that still consider themselves both Jewish and irreligious.

It’s mostly just self-righteous pricks that eat at places like Cracker Barrel that distribute these before/after church service - and usually in lieu of a tip (which is awesome when youre making $2.13/hr in a glorified fast food restaurant).

They would also say that you should be in church on Sunday, when they are the…

It doesnt matter because one candidate has proven to lack any semblance of seriousness, frequently denies reality, and lacks even a cursory understanding of civics and policy making. It would be more enlightening to watch Hillary debate a potato regarding economic policy.

You do understand that if it were to be that bad - that they would be arrested and jailed? There are specific laws governing behaviors within x feet of active polling places.

Suddenly braking in the middle of the road is usually inadvisable.

Also time... They all have outsized influence and they can use that commuting time to take calls and do important stuff (also sleep and stuff).

I would hope Carter would be busier on the phone coordinating Habitat projects and not driving anyway.

This does make me wonder if William is definitely in the past... His getting shot in the street definitely points to a time when the “bullets” were much more powerful since it literally spins him around.

Either Ed Harris is wearing some kind of armor - which seems unnecessary considering the bullets inflict about as…

The show has already shown that many of the hosts have had their timelines changed multiple times.

Yeah i would guess he wouldnt have gotten into the USNA if it hadnt been for the McCain “legacy.”

Ive also heard he was a pretty mediocre pilot too, but I am certainly not an expert.

It does make me wonder what his career path would have looked like had he not had the POW war hero backstory to bolster his political viability. From what I could tell his service record was fairly mediocre (especially for a graduate of one of the academies) and he was far from an academic standout.

This is an insanely dumb line of reasoning.

Family is different since you will have had a crapload more interactions with them (meaning the incidence of “crappy behavior” would still be low as a %). This probably applies more to people that you are developing new relationships with - where those three incidents would actually be indicative of larger patterns…

There have been real gaps for important positions, usually local school boards. Some of them had websites but they were literally all pablum/inane slogans. Many of them havent served locally, so there wasnt really any way to become familiar with them, especially if you hadnt been a long-time resident.

Actually yes another 3 hours on a Wednesday is too much, precisely because I do actually pay attention and vote in down-ballot elections (even caucuses which are a PITA in CO, but mail-in voting kind of makes up for it later).

If I gave 3 hours to every single person I voted for (or could vote for) I would be less…

Keep preaching... I will say, however waaaay way down ballot (talking alderman, public college chairs, even some state reps etc.) a lot of times they dont identify their party, have no website, no discernible platform, and not even a mission statement. I have to have a reason to vote for someone.

This almost certainly…

Catastrophic infrastructure failings fits in there somewhere...

Metabolism is a very tricky thing that can be affected by all sorts of external factors. Funny enough, some new(ish?) studies are showing that crash diets (minimal food intake) will likely slow your metabolism perhaps even permanently.

Because calling someone an asshole is so much kinder than calling them disingenuous?
