so, it’s bad form to let a person who’s being shit on know they are being shit on, but it’s ok to shit on someone while not having the nerve to let them know to their face? hmm, ok.

I think you missed the point of the Big Short. The guys who shorted the real estate market thought they’d provoke a rational market response, with the people who were buying the bundled toxic real estate debt realizing (as the short-sellers had) that the market was overvalued, and revising their valuations…

The greedy fucks were the one manufacturing multiple derivatives of housing debt tranches to create phantom value and create an enormous bubble that exploited sub-prime borrowers and gullible retail and institutional investors. The very few who shorted that whole mess were the ones tied to reality and profited off the…

I think Blockbuster video is really not embracing how this new Netflix companies distribution is much more consumer friendly. I think they’re going to lose a good chunk of their market share. I think I’m going to buy a short position.

CA has never been accused of rape or sexual abuse. Harassment, yes, but that’s a PRETTY big/large difference, overall. I don’t say this as a CA superfan or anything, just someone who knows that a simple google search will clarify some of that statement as improper.

Hmm... I suspect I won’t get stars here given the usual population... but good for Tulsi. I lean left on most any issue (and even consider myself left-leaning when it comes to trans-rights), but we have to be realistic here. If you don’t accept that biological men have a distinct advantage in muscle mass / bone…

Though a Recording Academy rep did later claim that the non-CBS event has always been financially covered by the host (because the Recording Academy is a non-profit organization)

Is it not similar to Cassius Clay and Muhammad Ali?
You can respect the person and call him Ali, but also historically acknowledge that Sonny Liston fought the then Cassius Clay.

As far back as I can remember, I always knew that Goodfeathers was a parody of something, but not something that I was familiar with (nor should I have been at 8 years old!) I could peg the Pesci impression from having seen Home Alone, and I knew that clearly he asked somebody why they laughed at him in the movie Goodf…

The “Who’s On First?” bit set at Woodstock utilizing The Band and The Who is to this day one of my favorite comedy bits of all-time.

Thoughts on the sketches that aren’t coming back for the reboot:

Aw, I like Slappy. I gravitate toward the “bomb-and-anvil” style and I think her comments are usually funny (“If this has anything to do with Pogs, I’ll shoot myself.”). Rita and Runt were given the worst animation studios, it’s true, but the ones handled by TMS (the best studio for this show, bar none) are some of…

So I met a woman in November 1993 and we hit it off rather quickly. I’d been recording Animaniacs each day on the VCR and watching after work. I told her about it and she was excited to finally see it. So she came over one day and I played that day’s episode for her, sight unseen. Turns out it was the one with all the…

I have yet to read an article that accurately describes what happened here. I’ll try to do so in as simple a manner as possible.

While I am of course horrified about how stupid and selfish many of these dolts are, if you’re outside and not near other people you don’t need to wear a mask. Obviously you should keep a mask with you, and put it on whenever you come within 10 feet of others, but if you’re by yourself like some of the people in this…
