I'm pretty sure death by woohooing was played up before release.

I've seen screenshots from people with state-of-the-art gaming PCs, and it all looks like shit. This isn't a bad computer problem; this is an ugly game problem.

This is why I wish Yelp would have an Unhelpful voting option or maybe give users the opportunity to vote a review down. Although I often rate something Funny when it's an obviously stupid person who wasn't actually trying to be funny. I figure that gets my point across.

I always read the best rated reviews and the worst ones. If the best ones sound like ass-kissing or the worst ones sound like the reviewer is stupid/unreasonable, I feel like I have a pretty good picture of what's going on.

That's a ridiculous condition. Frankly, I think your boss should have said hell no and instead promised to be careful not to over-serve the alcoholic, but then I'm also exceedingly hostile to the "customer is always right" mantra.

It's pretentious for sure, but I still think reviews like that are helpful for people who are trying to find authentic cuisine of any kind. Pretty much every Southerner I know in my area are on a constant quest to find decent barbecue. Every once in a while a new BBQ place opens up, and they're almost always…

Somewhat off-topic, but having grown up rich and now being middle class, I'd say the biggest luxury about being rich is not having to worry about money.

How much more? Prove it with facts and figures.

Have you tried to sell anything on eBay or Craigslist? Those people are looking for steep discounts. Unless what you're selling is rare, they are not going to give you a fair price. And if you have no way to guarantee the authenticity of what you're selling, they're really not going to give you much.

There's a line of thought among some groups that help the homeless that allowing panhandling is enabling. Not just in the case of addicts, but also the extremely mentally ill who resist treatment because their illness makes them extremely paranoid and resistant to help from authority figures. Although there are…

I seriously don't understand the people who get so angry about criticism of ME3's ending. I can trash-talk any number of installments of other sci-fi franchises with other tried-and-true nerds and never get into the same scraps with people that inevitably get stirred up whenever someone complains about The Ending. …

Meanwhile, Gilda Radner died of cancer. So, despite her seeming like a pretty upbeat person in her public and private lives, she somehow still brought it on herself? Seems legit.

Also, isn't the brain powered by a remarkably small amount of energy considering how much activity is going on?

I bet you only drink Evian.

I'm still not seeing how that translates into energy having negative or positive effects.

It is to people who have little to no awareness of trans issues, which would be a significant share of the American population.

Why a person who is transgender wouldn't disclose to the TSA before going through the body scanner what the TSA is likely to see just blows my mind. Transgender people have an absolute right to live how they want to without harassment or discrimination, but where the transgender community loses me is their insistence…

Professional sports leagues in the United States would not be able to exist without considerable taxpayer welfare.

It goes beyond mere anxiety around women according to Gilmartin. Among other things, men he deemed to be "love-shy" also tended to have more unrealistic standards for potential romantic partners than non-love-shy men. His research also seems to indicate some aversion to sexual contact among love-shy men compared to…

Just going by the operas I've seen, I'm not sure there's a performing art where the performer's appearance matters the absolute *least* when it comes to casting a role. I remember when I saw Aida, the woman who performed Aida was black while the man who performed the role of her father was white. In terms of race, I…
