If you are going to hang tanks on it, there goes your LO.

I hate to interrupt the orgy of “instructions make us a less creative society” comments, but I’d like to point out that changing gears from one type of thinking to another takes a lot longer than most people realize. So the people who built the set from plans are not harmed by having an instruction sheet, they’re just…

If you were that huge an asshole you would not. You’d just make a big, continously-simmering family fight out of it, about how your child thinks you are such a terrible monster that they spread lies about you being brain damaged. It would never really get dropped, and sometimes, you’d just start yelling at them about…

These type of people (narcissists, God love them) don’t understand that they’re assholes. They really, truly do NOT get that AT ALL. No matter how many times it’s explained or who’s doing that explaining. It’s never, ever their fault, and to imply it is means you’re against them, and you must pay, too. It’s horrifying…

Extreme narcissism defies logic.

Right, because that was absolutely the point of telling the Armistead Maupin story. It had absolutely nothing to do with simply sharing an entertaining tidbit about the drug under discussion.

I mean, one of the reasons *I* had a ridiculous wedding registry is I knew those fuckers could afford it. What, I’m going to register at Target for plastic crap I don’t like because I feel guilty? Fuck no. I’m gonna milk em for all their worth.

Once you have a child on your hands, childcare is a necessity. And having a child is more than a financial decision, because most financial decisions can be unwound. If you get in too deep with, say, a house or a car, there are ways to sell it off and disentangle yourself from the thing. Loans can be repaid more…

Hm, a lot of the criticism of the “dadbod” I’ve seen came from “alpha-gym-bros”. Quite a few of them are convinced that it’s a ploy by women to get men to stop working out and look less attractive so that they can have the upper hand in relationships by being the pretty ones.

If it doesn’t hurt, it’s not working.

If it doesn’t hurt, it’s not working.

No, seriously. I don’t dislike this game because it’s controversial. I dislike it because it’s built to appeal those with a complete lack of self-distance. It’s created to appeal to the saddest people on earth, those who think that putting on a veneer of being resentful and hateful somehow make them less sad than they…

Sepp Blatter said that he’d forget about this indiscretion if Bob Ley saw fit to..... well..... it would be impolite to say it out loud.....

Drink some water for that burn. It’ll cool you right off.

Look, Reinsdorf is terrible, as he has always been, and Gar Foreman is a crazy person who tried give Vinny Del Negro the Diamond Cutter.

calm your man tits.

For everything that America is or does, we’re pretty tough on blatant corruption (which isn’t to say that we haven’t already legalized all sorts of corruption, but still). We’ll throw the book at a politician with $50k in kickbacks stored in the deep freeze. I’m guessing this is a message to FIFA that, when it comes…

The U.S. is pretty good about prosecuting illegal corruption. Since our laws allow some pretty sketchy political practices, I think the thought process is, if you go beyond “legal corruption” you are really taking advantage and will be prosecuted.

Not yet. Tied at end of regulation. Next up extra time and penalties.

Basically speaking, it’s an extremely complex situation. Everyone’s just looking out for their own interests - the US are trying to maintain their superpower hegemony, Russia’s trying to reclaim superpower status.

As an Engineer I concur with Hrntphxr, on engineering projects particularly one of this scale there are going to be hiccups no matter what, after all we are human too ya know. So yes to a degree you have too "accept this BS", in reality the F-35 program from an technical issue/mishap/crash ect point of view it is…
