Can attest (as can many here). I was riding my bicycle in the upper peninsula last summer.  Probably doing between 17 and 20 mph, and a deer ran along side me and then darted in front of me to cross the road.  Freaked me the fuck out.  I’m just happy we didn’t collide.

While what this guy did is pretty extreme, there’s lots of people doing modified versions of this (full disclosure: I’m a six flags season ticket holder). Six Flags also runs a bunch of water parks, and every time I go (which isn’t all that frequent), you can easily spot the daily attendees. In the summer, it’s…

Agree with you in theory, but still went ND. The $95k price tag seems in line with other 2015 AMG G Wagons. I wouldn’t say it’s high or low, just market price.

Lawyer here, but admittedly don’t know anything about California law. That said, there are a string of cases holding home owners liable for robbers’ injuries. Typically they involve some form of booby trap... But it’s at least very theoretically possible that Larry could be liable, especially because of the Santa…

I’d probably go B+, if only for the Marsha Lifshitz audition scene. There were so many opportunities for low hanging fruit, and they deftly avoided everyone; and instead went for a slightly sexualized pronunciation of “bubbe”. I don’t know the name of the actress off hand, but for my money, she nailed the audition.

Depending on your driving habits, a Costco membership is worth it for the gas alone. You never even have to set foot in the store. Their gas is consistently 20 cents per gallon cheaper than neighboring gas stations.

Agree with you that just about anything that is deep fried is typically only worth getting at a restaurant. That said, I highly recommend the air fryer/grocery store frozen fry combo. I like the ore-ida crinkle cuts. Amazingly, they’re really just as good as any fast food French fry, and they often rival them since…

Um, hate speech is actually protected speech. It’s why the Nazis (famously parodied in the Blues Brothers) won the right on first amendment grounds to march in Skokie, Illinois (a suburb with a large orthodoz Jewish community).

This! And another thing (sorry to pile on Nate, but not really), he has no idea what it means to be good manager. He thinks managing the team is solely about developing game strategy. But look what he did with the False 9.

I think there’s something to this; and I think much of the backlash snowballed throughout the years because this album was just played So. Goddamned. Much. (as opposed to it just being a “sellout” album). It was every fucking where. Radio, MTV, every sports stadium. As one commenter out here astutely noted: it became…

The Joan Rivers example is a good one. In this thread alone we’re seeing all the politically incorrect standbys: comedians need to be able to cross the line; people should just laugh at themselves; some of Chappelle’s best friends are trans.

I don’t get why this is the hill Chappelle has chosen to die on. Like most, I’ve always enjoyed his comedy/take on things; and I watched his last two specials (at least I think it was the last two? They were on Netflix and it was pre-pandemic. Everything melts together now). The anti-trans stuff just felt so out of…

I gotta believe there’d be a sizable niche market for that (oxymoron aside).

That is so fucking cool. Pretty sure it’d make a good daily.

Can we also not forget that Pitchfork booked him to play their festival in 2013, despite a number of protests... And it didn’t apologize until 2018 (i.e. after the Me Too movement had been gaining steam for about a year).  There's a lot of reasons to despise that site, but I'd probably put that at number one.

What the dude did ain’t right ... But I get it. I live in Chicago, and there’s so many shitty speed bumps in our alleys that do damage cars. And while I (begrudgingly) admit that sometimes there’s a need for them on side streets (particularly where there’s lots of kids playing), there’s really no need for them in our…

Chicago used to have a place that served these: Franks ‘N’ Dawgs. FND popped up in the wake of the (sorely missed) Hot Doug’s, and it used a griddled bun (just like a lobster roll) for its dogs and gourmet sausages. The bun was pretty good, but I had the same feeling as I did about lobster rolls: Butter sure is tasty,…

If the car is a Mitsubishi, why does it say “Corolla” all over it?

Trying to keep my anonymous internet beefs to a minimum, so I’m going to try and keep this respectful. That said:

Since y’all are obsessed with wagons, you gotta go with the family sportster in national lampoon’s. 8 headlights, a grill the size of a matchbox, airbags made from literal garbage bags.... And wood paneling for days:
