The person who called the cops in the first place was probably motivated by race but I think the cop handled the situation well. When this story first broke i was expecting a whole different kind of conversation but the cop seemed professional to me. He was called to investigate a potential crime, either…

Objektabletitties's critique is so out there it seems more like performance art than a legitimate complaint.

I was just going to dismiss this for the stupid bullshit it is, but pointing out that "liberals" were "against" emancipation is so comically stupid that frankly, I'd love to see people dogpile you for it. DEMOCRATS were (by and large) against emancipation — and Democrats at the time were Conservatives. But yeah, I'm…

This ending is SO MUCH BETTER. It's a low bar, but... still.

I play using the EA challenge. I try to see how many Sims I can get to pay micro transactions. Then I give them new products that are much worse than old products.

I think I would say science isn't about value judgements. I have no objection to answering the questions you bring up. I object to those answers being used to value some human life over others.

Welcome to The Sims: never underestimate the modding community. Sims modders are a dedicated bunch, I'd be surprised if you could find a game that people are more dedicated to customizing.

I was in Spain recently and BallsMcGee took me out to a nice dinner, where I thought I'd be adventurous and fancy schmancy and order what was listed as "duck liver with carmelized melon" (on the English menu). I should have fucking asked what it was. What came out were 8 COLD dumplings stuffed with duck liver and…

I once got a shrimp arrabiatta dish that was oil and garlic sauce rather than a red sauce. Nowhere on the menu did it say "our take" on arrabiatta or anything. I don't like oil and garlic sauce on pasta, but when I suggested to the manager that it might be a good idea to specify on the menu that your arrabiatta…

Maybe they should try praying away the video.

Exactly— this is a business transaction, not your personal excuse to work out your social hangups. If I want my wedding invitations to say "YO BITCHES WE GETTIN HITCHED SO COME ON DOWN AND GET PLASTERED!", that is what you will print on my invitations. If I want to address my bridesmaid's envelope to Grand High Lady…

It seems like the people criticizing you are largely of the belief that not telling them is akin to remaining in the closet or denying who she is. And I don't think that's the case. You're right, in the sense that nobody's day-to-day life is going to change from the news. And they're right, in the sense that she has…

Actually, I kind of agree with Prudence here. She's in a monogamous marriage to a man. They are not opening it up, apparently, to include others. Marriage presumably means forever. Unless the topic came up of its own accord, what would be the point of making an announcement?

I learned that from the Duggars. Hey, maybe he wants his own reality show! Working title: I Fought the Law and My Balls Won.

And you don't pay more taxes if you don't make more money! I was unemployed for medical reasons in my early 20s and the government paid my MSP and obviously I had no taxes to pay. But I still got my healthcare. Now we are in the highest tax bracket and our family pays loads of taxes (happily). Might not have made it…

When will you be looking at more commenters to approve? I've been a dedicated member of the site (as have many others) but have never been approved despite many upvotes and all the like. I think if you switch back to this system, you have to start actively looking for new commenters to star or you have to REGULARLY…

It's his work. Your idea of improvement should mean absolutely nothing to a creator of any art.

He's a fiction writer.

I feel like it's worth mentioning that the judge in Tennessee who ordered a baby's name changed from "Messiah" to "Martin" (because only Jesus Christ can be called Messiah) had her ruling very quickly overturned, lost her job, and was publicly censured by a judicial review board that unanimously found her decision…

"It's true. It's true. We're so lame." - Homer Simpson re: White Men

That being said, I'd like to see diversity too. As a white man, I agree; it's obvious when another one of us is put to the forefront. Likewise, it's refreshing when a non-one of us gets the limelight. So there you go; I'd welcome this change as…
