...so much for that idea...

Everything I read about The Deuce is interesting and I would love to watch it, but not if Franco’s in it. Can someone do a JarJar Binks cut of it?

I get invitations from a bunch of people in New Zealand who have their friend’s email wrong.  I’ve tried to correct it a few times, but it hasn’t taken.  So one of these days, I’m going to show up.

Right there with you, buddy. My mother didn’t realize that my unique name would be quite the distinguishing feature it has turned out to be.

My best wishes to you you and Mrs. OB—I wish you both all the support and love you need to get through this.

I’ve found that it helps to pick certain things that I care about and worry less about the rest. My personal issues are reproductive justice and civil rights, and I pay attention to the news around those things and volunteer and donate around them, but I’m never going to be knowledgeable or focused on international…

I never drove delivery, but this makes sense to me, and is why I make sure I tip well. I sometimes get my food from my regular places even before it’s supposed to show up and occasionally there will be extra food or a dessert or something in the bag.

I don’t make the delivery people walk up the stairs to my apartment, because my building has a private elevator (tenants can use it but delivery people don’t have access), but I get annoyed when they make me come outside. The whole point of delivery is that I don’t have to go outside, dude!

If you live near a McDonald’s with a party room and a Store Actitivities Representative on staff (a STAR in the lingo), have the party there. There’s enough room, all the food including cake is provided, the STAR does the prep, games, AND cleanup, and you’re in and out in about two and half hours.  I used to be a STAR…

This me.  Most of the fuckups around medium (too done or too rare) are fine with me, but the fuckups around medium rare can get too bloody.

I was pretty much kidding with the “fuck you” part, but thanks for understanding. I totally agree with you that if it’s a planned event you gotta gut it out in the room. It’s the final obligation of being a pet owner. My current guy is getting older and I need to see if I can find a local vet who will come out and do…

Oh, FUCK YOU SO MUCH.

I’m not saying he WAS influenced by racism or sexism, as I haven’t done a study of his calls. I’m saying he could have been, and that doesn’t make him a sociopath, which was the dichotomy you set up in your comment.

No, I noticed (unlike some cartoonists, apparently).  Racism and sexism doens’t have to be 100% equally applied to be applicable, you know.

But an umpire doesn’t have to hold a personal grudge against a player for his calls to be tainted by racism or sexism.  He doesn’t have to be a sociopath to be influenced by his feelings and make a ticky tack call.  We’ve all had those games where we’re feeling sensitive and nervy and maybe called something that we…

Impulse control is key. I’m also super sensitive to the feeling of the deal — if we’re working together, I’m fine with not getting the cheapest price (although I still want a good price! :) ), but the minute you try head games with me or pressure tactics or any other bullshit, I bounce. I can’t enjoy my car or my…

Key phrase: “willing to walk.”

I don’t even have kids and I do this many Friday nights and it’s wonderful. i feel like it helps me enjoy the fun things I have planned for Saturday and Sunday more because I’m rested and ready to go out.

THANK YOU.  You use the washcloth ONCE and then you launder it, you heathens!
