What are those various forms of legal homicide? Asking... uh... hypothetically... definitely no Goodbye Earl situations in MY life, no sir...

Thank you for posting this link! I’ve started getting Karen Read hot takes in my social media feeds without any context and was waiting for a written article to pop up so I could figure out wtf was going on.

Are you suggesting that legal homicide exists in the United States (for people other than cops)? And “deaths” in that CDC stat notably does not distinguish between suicide and homicide.

Have you never had your iPhone tell you it’s too hot or too cold to operate? Because I have*, and it’s the same principle - a rechargeable battery is compromised by extreme heat and cold.

Resident Sean Carmichael also told KTVU that a similar crash happened about 25 years ago on that exact street, adding “Maybe it’s time to put some speed bumps down this road now.”

And you thought you were getting a slow-news holiday week!

I get that you’re saying you NOW realize that a go bag is convenient and you already pretty much have one. I’m questioning your initial reaction of calling go bags “prepper paranoia.”

Bringing up that tweet in the middle of a Senate hearing would’ve earned an “Objection! Relevance?” from any judge in any courtroom. A sitting senator is so butthurt over a six-month-old insult that he picked a physical fight during a hearing. And they want to censure Fetterman for wearing shorts. FFS.

Just wait until Bradleighs and Haighdynns start showing up in Congress. It’s only a few years away now.

How is it paranoia when we’ve all seen what’s happened in California and Australia during wildfire season over the last few years?

If she’s complaining about the minerals’ effect on her hair instead of their effect on her skin, she’s doing it wrong! My hair was firmly in a topknot the entire time and my face felt like a baby’s bottom for days afterward. If only their take-home clay masks weren’t exorbitantly expensive...

Tesla. Especially one that’s obviously newer - I don’t begrudge early adopters from 10 years ago, but if you’ve bought one in the last 3 years or so, I choose to believe you stan a bigoted billionaire edgelord.

I know next to nothing about cars themselves, but I work in an adjacent industry that requires me to be reasonably well-informed about business trends in the automotive sector. When I went to my dealership earlier this summer to trade in my old lease for a new one, I asked for an update on production timelines for the…

Great point. I visited Vegas for the first time earlier this year, for a work conference. I lived in NYC for a long time and adored the city’s walkability... Vegas, in comparison, is an absolute shit show. For a city that relies heavily on tourists wandering around and into casinos, shows, shops, etc., they sure don’t…

That was Brock Allen Turner, the convicted rapist, who lives in the Dayton Ohio area and has been seen at bars telling women his name is Allen Turner. The rapist Brock Allen Turner is trying to obscure his identity because the judge let him off with a slap on the wrist.

Agree. Jez went way off the rails after Spanfeller took over, to the point where I’ve blocked the site on my browser so I wouldn’t be tempted to read content cross-shared on other G/O sites. I really missed the Scary Stories series this year and hope it can be revived here.

Agreed. After the backlash to Beyonce’s inarguably excellent performance, with the Chicks, of “Daddy Issues” ... I wouldn’t recommend a Black woman walk onto the CMA stage for any reason.

Someone literally died. Picking car parts out from around their corpse is a disgusting thing to joke about.

I got into an argument with my cousin-in-law a couple years back - we were talking about “great humans of the world” and he was trying to put Elon on that list. I could (and do) agree with his point that Elon made EVs popular, but he tried making the point that Elon made EVs affordable....... no he didn’t. He SAID he…

The anti-union sentiment in the South is SO strong. My best friend is very liberal/progressive (I probably have the edge on her, but I lived in NYC for a long time and had plenty of exposure to very leftist people/groups) but unions are her one sticking point. She is a third-generation government employee in her…
