A guy I used to work with who grew up in B’more would tell me stories about having to weave his car between heroin addicts who were looking for that insurance fraud payout; occasionally he’d accidentally(?) hit one, and haggle down the payout to almost nothing. He used to laugh heartily while telling me this.

I honestly can’t believe that, to this day, police unions are the only ones that get to use any kind of taxpayer upkeep to pay off their issues. Any other union has to dip into their own kitty; police unions get to use someone else’s. This needs to change.

Before I got old, complaining about how the other team played you was grounds for immediate excommunication from all future games. Bad form

Buca di Beppo sold pocket protectors. A bunch of us went there before prom (small town kids) and I bought one to wear during the dance.

I’m trying to wrap my head around this. Are you suggesting a sort of steering wheel type controller, where each finger corresponds to a button and the thumbs are for the sticks? Or Wiimote-style is, I guess, another way this could go. 

Give me a good place to begin. My tastes get as hard as stoner metal, but even then I need to take a break when it’s done.

So this had me in full panic mode, because I’m really hyped for Outer Worlds. Did Microsoft buy Obsidian recently?

It’s the same reason I don’t review death metal albums

Having Burneko review booze is like having Marchman review only popular things: their most basic frame of reference is so fucked out, they don’t have a baseline to compare against

I was intensely sad that the Chop app you could load up was just a total piece of shit in every way. I wanted Strong Chop

This is an unalloyed FACT. Season 1 was one of the best things I saw that year. S2 was a HUGE disappointment

It’s not paranoid to think Kingsbury and Murray are just going to keep doing this and dare the refs to call it every time, like the Legion of Boom with DPI. This season is going to be a fucking nightmare

I saw this movie pretty soon after it came out, and was in the throes of being a Tom-type character, i.e. kinda obsessive, a bit douchey regarding tastes (something I STILL work on), and somewhat touched by previous romcoms in the sense that if I just SHOWED these women how much I cared and how great I was, they’d…

There’s an argument to be made that Summer being a “list of tastes” (great way to put that, btw) is more one of Tom’s flaws than Summer’s, that he doesn’t see her as a person, just as one circle in a Venn diagram to see where they overlap

When original content gets popular, it becomes WAY more profitable than paying for the licensing for something else

I’m kind of baffled by the love S2 of Maisel is getting. She turned into a walking plot device, where literally every problem she faced was defeated through the power of pluck and being really, really attractive. Isn’t that kind of, ummmmm, retrograde?

Here are my retorts, in no particular order. Keep in mind that I usually play tank or support, so it’s not like my queue is going to be crazy long.

This WYTS has, what, five litanies from fans? It HAS to be the shortest WYTS

A few years ago, I froze homemade michelada mix into an ice cube trays; when it got really hot out, I’d throw a few into a glass and pour cheap Mexican beer over it. It never QUITE worked out the way I wanted (my theory is that the beer pouring over the cubes oxidized it even more, so the beer got a little flat), but…
