Here's hoping 'Captain Phillips' isn't some racist garbage a la 'Black Hawk Down'...

Haha! Nice. #BestShowEver

So what channels you going to turn to now? the only thing I'm seeing here is "Fox Soccer Plus," which we would only be able to get if we bought a whole extra "sports package" from our cable provider...

Yea, well, that doesn't apply to all of us, gringo. FSC was a solid channel and a way to keep in touch with real soccer from the rest of the world. This is a shit move.

Not really. For example, right now, around 4:45pm on the east coast on Wednesday, the only european soccer on (i searched) is on the paid/extra channel "fox soccer plus." We don't get "fox soccer plus" because it's part of some extra package you have to pay more for; such games were available AS PART OF OUR FUCKING…

Yea, but, for example here in the NY Metro area, if you subscribe to basic Optimum cable, you USED TO get FSC, but now Fox Sports Plus or Soccer Plus or whatever it's called is PART OF A FUCKING "SPORTS PACKAGE" that you have to pay extra for. So... we get re-runs of Parks and Rec and if we want to see what used to be…

What the...?? So where the hell are we supposed to watch european soccer now?? My dad just got home from work, feet and back achin', and went to put on FSC, only to find a rerun of Parks and Rec... WTF?! Seriously, though, where/what is the alternative now?

Another little known fact: Chipotle "Mexican" [sic] Grill is run by a hipster skinny white boy who got the startup money from his parents. Oh, and McDonald's. The store proudly displays what some consider to be artwork of an indigenous Aztec/Mexica style, while the company itself has some questionable practices when…

"Burn" your mouth? Fucking gringos...

Dunno. Someone wiring about completely vapid, useless things that don't actually produce anything useful for society... except more private wealth and power for (mostly) folks who don't need more private wealth and power. If everyone were paid a decent wage and workers had guaranteed pensions — as would happen in a…

Ugh. Re: the Bugs Bunny/saw comment and the Florida hate... c'mon, y'all. Spend some time in places in Florida where there aren't any chodes or tourists or snowbirds (yes, such places, although difficult to find, do exist) and then tell me you just want to say "fuck it" and give up on the whole thing. I mean, there…

"Personal Finance Writer," huh? And they call people on food assistance "parasites"...

Sweet!

Lucky Bamboo and mother-In-Law's Tongue. As long as you take care of 'em right (which basically means leaving them alone as much as possible), they'll keep livin'.

I took Aaron Hernandex with my 2nd pick - is that good? #newbie

What a shitshow that franchise is... Sweet Baby Jesus I'm glad I'm a Giants fan.

I'm sort of in this situation right now; this was helpful. Basically, I went to school (undergrad & MA) to study something I was passionate about and hoped to make a career out of. I happened to get work in that "field" and did that for 6 years... And then became completely and severely burned out, interests have…

I see... It's very rare I feel that way about a book; I consider a book "well-loved" if it had underlining, notes, dog ears...

Even books you own? Cuz that's what I was talking about. I find it helps me stay engaged, make connections, etc...

Really? How do you write things down? And if you don't do that, how do you go through life? I'm not being facetious; your comment genuinely intrigued/puzzled me. I still use pen and paper plenty... (another example: don't you like to underline/write marginalia when you're reading?.... oh, wait, eReader, huh?)
