I was a Metronorth guy (grew up in westchester, got the hell out as soon as I could), and yeah, it was pretty much the same over there. 

I’m not saying this alone is enough to dismiss anything, but I thought we as a culture were beyond the “I know him and he would never do this!” defense, but I’m proven wrong repeatedly.

I’d say he got a cootie shot, but anti-cootie shot activists are gaining a lot of ground in the west. 

Here’s a fun social experiment: Get on a Long Island Railroad train leaving Penn Station at 2am on a Saturday and see how many fights you encounter. 

I wasn’t aware they were making a new candyman movie, but I think this dude would play a pretty good candyman. This actually kind of makes me want to go back and watch the original candyman-

I similarly have a very hard time playing Dark Souls 1 after beating Bloodborne. I had never played DS1, and just feel it’s too slow paced and not as interesting as Bloodborne. 

Anything I write about how I appreciated the article and appreciate your presence around here to bring a voice to neglected folks (IE, us nerds of color, particularly women within that group, and lets be honest, we could knock the nerd off that and it would be just as accurate) would be redundant, so I just wanted to…

Study: The 7 train platform will fall down from the sky and kill you while you’re driving.

You know, I wondered if pulling $900 out of my savings account and using half of my tax return to pay off the interest outstanding on my Student Loans to better pay down the principal and free of myself of the anxiety of them was a good idea.

I just recall when the Patriots won the super bowl two years ago, and the team members who bothered to show up took a photo with Trump, several players (mostly black players but some white) seemed like they didn’t want to be there. 

I’m almost certain Trump will just make the Presidential Man Cave/Shooting Range anyway, so the ball is back in Obama’s court.

I hate card only businesses with a passion. It’s pretty easy to see how classist (and in an environment where the lower class is exclusively non-white, racist) and ageist the policy is. 

This is late after you posted this, but another article linked here, I read this comment, and it resonated a lot with me. I was a bit of a late bloomer in terms of dating, and felt the first two women I dated ought to know about the fact that I was sexually abused by a relative, which to this day makes it pretty…

Every single time I read a story like this about Elite or EVE, I go “damn that sounds pretty fascinating in an odd way. I would love to play that and experience some of this.”

It would give me a reason to brew a batch of imitation Billy Beer in celebration of it. 

FUUUUUUUUCK. I just noticed you didn’t end that in a questionmark.

THAT guy. 

The Birmingham Whateverthefuck’s Roster:

Hey man, gotta make sure those legs are smooth. Plus, you ought to be sharing those ear wax cracker sandwiches with her.

Interestingly, a gay friend of mine at the UN was bemoaning not meeting a lot of people or going on many dates. I considered introducing him to another gay friend of mine from when I worked at American Eagle (I have a very weird job history), but realized without ever mentioning my UN friend that the two would never…
