My favorite part was about how people didn't dislike Obama because he was black. It was because he had a good education, wore a suit to work, and lived in a big city like Chicago. Trump is just great though.

What is going on with your math to make £150,000 = $1 billion? Even at its highest exchange rate £1 was equal to $2. Which would mean she spent (at the absolute most) $300,000. So you’re off by about 3,333x.

I started playing a couple of months ago when it was free on PS+. It’s clearly a well made game but most of the time I have no idea what is going on - I feel like I am missing out on so much and it’s frustrating. I’d add to your list the annoying as hell system of needing to walk around and talk to people which adds…

I don’t understand why no one thinks your vote can be messed with because you mailed it in. There’s literally nothing stopping your postal carrier from throwing your ballot in the garbage if they don’t like the neighborhood it came from.

How do you know that your paper ballot is secure though? For all you know they took your ballot and threw it in a river. Or whoever / whatever machine counted it recorded your vote wrong.

Of course. Maggie knows that now that the Atlantic said something nice about a Heidi Cruz every dipshit Republican will decide they’re no longer fake news and will get a subscription delivered to the trailer.

Exactly. It’s still a really niche product (and the pricing seems a little off - it’s too hard to actually make it a good deal) but honestly it’s not that bad of an idea for some people.

It all depends on where you live. In a decent sized city the hassle of needing to plan a couple of minutes ahead to order the Lyft is a lot smaller than the hassle of trying to find a parking spot or use public transit. In Chicago meter parking is something like $8 an hour minimum. If it’s easy to park and own a car…

I wouldn't sign up for this but I'd argue it's more simple than car payment + insurance + gas + maintenance + parking.

This was completely a publicity stunt intended to benefit no one but her. If she honestly thought she was going to get paid out on that wager she is dumber than a rock.

This is an amazing hill to spend your Saturday afternoon dying on.

Is your favorite LeBron James Can’t Speak Well starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson?

It’s another one of those “we fucked up but not in quite the right way that would allow us to un-fuck it” calls.

Can they not get a warrant for something like this?

Interesting. As far as I can tell it mostly boils down to 1) the Islanders are garbage and no one wants to go regardless of where they play 2) there are a bunch of obstructed view seats for hockey, and 3) the ice is bad.

You want a car blog to write articles about the CEO of a bank?

Why would this be an issue? Detroit just built a hockey-specific arena and halfway through the construction decided to make it accommodate an NBA team. It obviously added to the cost but the idea that it can’t work for basketball is incorrect.

Eh, the scooters are only downtown Salt Lake, where most people aren’t LDS, so the alcohol thing might not be that big of a red flag. Salt Lake also has much better infrastructure (specifically wider streets and relatively fewer cars) than a lot of places these scooters are.

I thought there was no way you could get these under $50k. But I was wrong. However, I almost threw up in my mouth looking at this one. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/744184141/overview/

Yeah it’s weird that he was doing what he was trained to do, but the rest of the cops there weren’t. Maybe the city should give this asshole a medal for bravery and fire the other six cops who stood around not killing a kid.
