Since most raw fish benefits from being frozen to kill off potential parasites and even to improve the texture of the final product, do you really need to be wary if you’re not coastal? You’re far more likely to get a high quality product that’s been frozen than a totally fresh fish that’s been handled properly from…

I am not going to try to take away anyone’s enjoyment of “pear liqueur” but am unconvinced that is going to be a worthwhile investment for me 

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The NRA should simply tell the secret service to ban people, not guns, from the hall. Problem solved.

Very seedy! I read it at a much-too-young age and was agog at all the goings-on. I found Ellen’s pre-lunch ritual where she changed in the bathroom of the gas station (the part where she put talcum powder in her bra) bizarrely fascinating.

but a home is going to end up with a whole lot of mostly full bottles of various specialty boozes.

This whole situation reads so much like a Robot Chicken skit that I somehow am finding it hard to believe this entire thing wasn’t planned from the start. But that might be giving too much credit.

Hi Seth! 

And the overarching message of Jaws 3-D is: cocaine and shark movies can be a losing combination.

Yeah, the book was much seedier! I read it once in 7th grade, but I was reading Stephen King then, so the beach-book depravity stood out to me less.

I believe that in the book it’s explained by the mayor being in debt to the mob.

The problem with making stuff like this at home is the small amounts. Even a half sized bottle of pear liqueur has enough to make 50 of them. That’s fine for a restaurant, but a home is going to end up with a whole lot of mostly full bottles of various specialty boozes.

Even if “everything they do is trolling,” the Rule of Goats applies. If you're fucking a goat ironically, you're still fucking a goat.

tell me then, how do these blockchain/crypto heists keep happening? If it’s all as public as you claim, surely something like that should be reversable? I mean, if someone robs your money from a bank, you can recover it. So why is something that is apparently SOOOO secure constantly getting stolen without a trace or…

after consumers decided realized that Chinese-made competitors were just as good, or even better than literally the same thing as their American counterparts.

The A.V. Club
Often inspires a chuckle, followed by a “Wait, is he serious?”

The good writer have left a long while ago, then the minorities in the community got driven off by crackers, then the rest of the decent writers left after they made the fucked up worker’s policies, and now here we are. Writers who only want to do the bare minimum for what’s likely also the bare minimum they get paid…

How did we get Jordan Hoffman reviewing this film? I miss when this site was good and the writers actually cared about things.

You mean a world where you can be mostly anonymous tends to attract criminals and scam artists? You don’t say. 

“Line Goes Up” addresses this. It points out that by publicly buying into NFTs and such, you are signaling to the world that you are desperate to get rich quick, you are bad with money, and you are bad with risk assessment.

God, scamming crypto people seems to be the easiest shit imaginable.
