Yes, you are REALLY fucking cynical. Is this good publicity for all involved? Absolutely. But it's also really good for the healing of the survivors and the city.

Not only did it raise money for the survivors, it also must have been a healing moment for the people traumatized by the attacks. Seeing so much positivity and love can rekindle faith in humanity. It would have been so easy to react with hate and anger.
I don't care much for any of the artists performing and have no…

I've heard something like that before, but I don't really understand what's at play there. Wouldn't the pharmaceutical companies jump on the chance to medicate yet another chronic disease?

Actually, you just have to say someone white gets a job out of it. It doesn't have to be true.

Jesse Thorn seems to be doing alright. But he's radio, and apparently taking full advantage of this.

Being able to look shit up and glean the correct conclusions, is 90% of being a good scientist.
This statement​ also applies to being a good software engineer. And as these are the only two jobs I have any deep understanding of, I could extrapolate that this is true for all human endeavor.

We had to distill our own sniffing glue, to get a buzz. And walk seven miles through broken glass to get to the dancing shed.

Do you think the kegs that were trucked in before were cold?
They cool it at the tap, just like always.

My wife asked me the other day do you want to go see the new Pirates movie?
I hesitantly started to say …maybe… but quickly realized the preferred answer was "no" so she could go with her Depp loving girlfriends.

I, on the other hand have a very small head. So I not only don't do my mothers yardwork, I also don't do my own!

Get in to the monkey business!
Man, I'd give anything to have monkeys shoot out of my ass! I'd be a millionaire.

The problem with anti-vaxxers and climate change deniers is that they come at me with a barrage of "facts" and numbers. And while I know those to be false, I can't spout of all the exact data and science from the top op my head to refute them, so they think they've won the argument.

As a young child I really believed in an all seeing god. Which made stealing cookies come with some existential dread, but not enough to stop me.

I distinctly remember the time I was sitting in class during the daily prayer and thinking "this is all a bunch of nonsense" and I've never believed in a god since. I've only…

The thing I find the saddest and at the same time funniest about Jehova's Witnesses, is that the number of people they think will be allowed into heaven is MUCH lower than the number of devout Jehova's Witnesses.

We're going to detonate this nuclear warhead at the asteroid hurtling towards earth. We'll just assume that will change it's course away from earth. Because astrophysics is hard.

What did we tell you about there being math!!?

Oh, I'm not arguing you wouldn't taste a difference between these and other specific beers. But there is also a range of different tastes in the stuff breweries label as pilsner. This seems to fall in that variation.
I've been to Cologne a few times, so chances are I had Kölsch without being aware.

Ha, thanks for looking it up. I'm still a bit confused about the process though. It seems to me the coffee beans are steeped in the beer, probably ground up, in a way similar to cold brewing coffee. But using that term still sounds like an attempt to be hip. Because calling this cold brew coffee, is like calling gin a…

He investigated possible crimes and then concluded no crimes were committed. That's NOT the same as "didn't want to pursue charges".

Damn, that's heartbreaking. I can't imagine what goes through your mind when you harass​ people whose child has been murdered. Even if you are 90% sure they are lying, that 10% should withold you from going after them. Of course you have to be quite fucked up to even think these people are lying about their kids.

I…
