Agreed, but it is possible to make the geometry of a loose style look great, and Trump’s suits do not look good at all. The cuffs are uneven and the back is either pulling up or pulling down. I assume he does this as a way to emphasize who’s the boss: he can walk around looking like hot buttered Hell, but his…

But we have also learned that IQ is variable depending on life experiences. I was informed as a girl child that women can’t be geniuses because of the amount of -something- (insert woo of choice) required to be pregnant and raise children. Girls, even today, believe by the age of 5 that boys are smarter than girls.…

Pretty sure Lutefisk says what she means and means what she says.

I knew someone who did captioning for a local tv station in the 90s. It was a miserable, stress-filled low-paying job; our computer overlords are welcome to it.

You are correct, that is a big one. I apologize for the oversight.

Immigration issues, his speeches embracing American muslims, and stance against abuse in prisons are the only bright spots in his administration that I can remember. That’s still 3 more than the current occupant.

Just imagine the size of the calves of the person carrying the drug-bomb. Cantaloupes!

You don’t sound like an asshole; you sound like someone going through some major upheaval. My dad started getting sick when I was in college and my parents hid it from me until he had to be life flighted to the hospital. To this day I’m not sure if I’m grateful or not - my dad died two years later, so there was plenty…

Hm, schadenfreude.

He’s hoping his seatmates will ask to be moved so he gets the row to himself.

I am guessing the patient is a sex worker; it would be difficult to sustain those numbers otherwise.

I realize this is easy LOLs but seriously, my local BMV people are great, and I have been to a half dozen different locations over the years. They are fast and competent and pleasant.

Intelligence agencies have tapes of Flynn telling the Russian ambassador in November to be cool till Trump is in power. Flynn denied to Mike Pence that he said this, but the DOJ had already briefed Trump that the conversation with the representative from Russia has taken place (tapes obtained via wiretapping the…

Here it’s very normal for the BIg Man to sit in the middle so he can hear everyone at the table. While it’s LOL that Bannon is at the head it isn’t significant.

Agree about the John Adams biopic. It’s a good way to get context without re-hashing the plot of Hamilton, but there are a few points of intersection, like when France asks for help with their revolution, that are fun to recognize.

If you don’t generally enjoy kid lit or fantasy, try her adult works like the Cormorant Strike mysteries (written pseudonymously as Robert Galbraith).

And even that is complicated! Older boomers - the ones who have already retired - have a decent chance of having a pension and therefore retirement. Younger boomers are boned with the rest of us: 401k, expensive degrees for themselves and their kids, and 20 years of declining job prospects behind them as they stare 67…

One guess is liability. If the protest occurs during school hours and the school condones going be something happens, the school could get sued.

Some did, certainly, but we forget that protesters and hippies were a minority back then, too. Plenty of young people were Team Nixon, and plenty were IDGAF, give me a deferment and leave me alone.

In the second election how did the percentage of 18-20 year olds vote? That’s the group that was activated the first time around; I’m curious to know if they stayed active or returned to the mean.
