You'll have only the best of times with A Tale of Two Titties edible nipple tassels.

Easy to clean! I don't have the words to describe the grief I've experienced over the years from hard to clean outlet covers.

When will these bots learn to love one another and live together in peace?

For someone who at least never struck me as the sharpest knife in the drawer, Brad Pitt seems to do a lot of work that involves thinking.

Oh, she's delightful! Everyone loves her!

I saw that when I was about ten, I suppose. It was a learning experience.

If the use of physical coercion and intimidation tactics to gain compliance aren't enough to instill a tender affection in the heart of a man for his fellows, it's unclear what possibly could.

Sure, boot camp is a logical way to instill moral values in people who have already known nothing but brutality in their lives. There's a firm scientific consensus that pushups raise levels of empathy. No-one who's been through boot camp has ever failed to come out an exemplary human being.

But if you advocate Marx, you must be a Stalinist as well, because that was clearly a faithful implementation of his insights which Marx would have enthusiastically endorsed had he lived to see it.

You're correct that the English Bibles are deep palimpsests of not only transliterations, but mistranslations, interpolations, and recensions, but it doesn't follow logically from that that the source material wasn't divinely inspired, as @avclub-0f2aab038be93ff407d92af691001e73:disqus has pointed out. Crivelli's…

It is therapy for anxiety, but it seems to me to be clearly more than that.

They do give an account, whatever one thinks of it, of the nature of human beings that…

I know basically nothing about the nature of PTSD beyond the obvious, but that's a very interesting suggestion.

Oh sure, people can just get on with it and not ask those kinds of questions at all. I only mean that if someone does want to, the answers they'd derive from any source apart from religion (there are very few), aren't going to be obviously less problematic.

"It's as if people don't think what they are and do is meaningful by itself".

No no, she's delightful! DELIGHTFUL, goddammit.

I don't think he intended it as an endorsement of the CSA or anything.

There's a rousing version of 'Dixie' on Masked and Anonymous.

She's evil but she's so pretty. Yes, she's a paragon of all that's sinister and despotic in the subordination of artistic value to corporate profits, and yet when she casts the merest oeillade in my direction with that sweet, coquettish mouth, and those sparkling eyes . . . we'll keep her on a promise that she…

And deem itself antiwar, not the basis of anything done to the Chinese that was immoral, but on the basis of the effect it had on the US military.

Agreed. That Kyle inflated his kill rate belies his real motivation. But that it didn't mention it is fitting inasmuch as he was the instrument of a foreign policy that many Americans have a similar delusion about. Mistakes, on their view, are always ever due to a naive, overabundance of altruism; never to…
