He totally saved the day in Interstellar too

In your original comment you said she was going to specifically build a school in Malawi, not “africa”

Do you think hammering nails and whatnot is some extremely difficult skill that is impossible to learn? I have no training in anything along those lines, but I’ve installed hardwood floors in my house from watching a couple youtube videos. I’ve installed dry wall by having someone show me how it’s done. Unless the…

You touch on this, but the other side of that would be the “why” of the minority candidate being slightly less objectively qualified for a job. Perhaps they don’t have quite the experience of the white/asian candidate because they’ve been discriminated against. Perhaps they didn’t go to quite as good of a school. And…

I would say that study was not correct, because the problem with Whole Foods was definitely that the mid-range groceries were much more expensive than other stores. Like, get a little package of driscoll, non-organic raspberries at Whole Foods? $3.99. Everywhere else, the exact same product is $1-2.99. After Amazon…

If the players want to fix this, they need to stop prioritizing older star players over younger guys. If young players weren’t so cheap, then low and mid-tier free agents wouldn’t get frozen out. If you can call up a guy who might give you 0-1 WAR while you’re only paying him $500k, why would you not do this instead…

I work for a telco, troubleshooting SIP networks. In the telco world, the hardware that “should be generating caller ID” is almost always the customer’s equipment. You can absolutely set it so you as the telco override their caller ID if they send a number that’s not on their circuit, but that’s not usually done and…

So if the stripper insulted the guy, you’d be cool with him decking her for being an asshole?

I don’t disagree with the principle, but does the federal government constitutionally have any authority to regulate something like that with a law? How does the federal government have any say over whether a local or state government decided to give a tax break? That seems to be something that’s pretty clearly…

“the caller told police he already murdered someone and had a woman and children hostage, with the entire house doused in gasoline ready to blow.” And ... the odds of this being a real hostage situation, vs a prank call, were, what? 10 to 1 against? 50 to 1? How many people in the last 5 years have killed someone,…

“Stop resisting!” Fires gun 5 times. “Koreawut reached for his waistband.”

I’m not making shit up. What exactly are you thinking I’m making up? Can you be more specific beyond saying I’m “distorting the events” or “making shit up”? What shit am I making up, what am I distorting? “ ... the narrative you’re trying to put forward here that they killed this guy the instant they saw him without a…

What? They literally went and shot the first person who they saw, who had nothing to do with anything. What is this alternate reality that you think is the true narrative? They surrounded a house, a random guy went out the door, and they shot him.

I can guarantee if you are getting a report of something like this called in it’s literally more likely to be a fake swatting call than an actual case of someone murdering someone, then calling a non-emergency police line and saying all this ridiculous shit happened. There’s obviously a pretty wide range between…

How about instead of reading you just watch the video?

“a net loss of a couple hundred million a year to the telco’s.”

Or, he posts this, and small budget hotel and their cafe make international news and get a huge amount of free exposure. Going after vegans and then bloggers is pretty genius since they are disliked groups of people. Some people will be turned off by their dickishness but a lot more will think it’s funny and become…

That’s their thing though. If she had done 2 minutes of research about who all she was emailing her request to, she should’ve known it was not something they’d do and that if anything they’d do exactly what they did. They have a large social media following because of the tiff with the vegans, and making fun of people…

“ It isn’t illegal for me to trip a five year old and scream “asshole” in their face.”

Give him “major points” for not “actually” raping her? So you think it’s like a minor point that he (supposedly) said, “How about if I get you another glass of wine, does that count as a second date?” and “Would you like me to fuck you here?” and, you know, didn’t rape her? Like that’s a small distinction? The mere…
