step 1. bribe party leaders in closed door sessions. they will decree to their party members to follow suit
step 2. bribe/lobby publicly the other party/party’s members until they all agree or you have enough majority to.
much cheaper than going after all the individuals. 

force congress to do all their forms by hand and see how fast it changes.

They don’t need to bribe every single one. They just need to bribe enough to flip the table in their favor.

Owner decided it was actually too reliable and wanted to step up to a Range Rover.

I’m not going to ditch TurboTax because I’ve pirated it for the last decade or so.  

I hired an accountant once because I thought my taxes had gotten too complicated to do by hand. He screwed them up, that’s why I started using TurboTax. Now I have discovered that Turb0Tax also screwed my taxes up and now I owe back taxes and interest. Oh and that garentee? Only good for mathematical errors. If there…

next up: get your battery replaced yearly, no matter what.

You know you raise a very interesting point.  You become what you consume and if these people are consuming a lot of Japanese media they’re going to internalize Japanese cultural attitudes, which includes all the nasty public groping and objectification of women stuff.  Especially because Anime, especially in certain…

IT’s a sad fact, when your fan base is really small, early conventions from my era (circa late 90s) and even more especially before that in the 80s, couldn’t really afford to be picky. Abusers are often superficially charismatic, because that’s the mask they use to hide their fangs, as a result abusive men often…

Personally, I really don’t think you need to if it’s just a DD that sees normal use. If it’s a track car, you may need it. A big enough pothole though could require it, and obviously if you do any suspension work you’ll most likely need to get it done afterwards.

But yeah, the Missus’ car is going on 12 years now.…

The big downside of the Big Daddies in the first Bioshock game, the prospect of disguising yourself as a Big Daddy near the end of the game only to realize that you don’t get to play with that cool Drill Arm. You don’t even get the Rivet Gun. That was the one big disappointment of Bioshock 1.

there’s also a numbers game running through here. anime has become popular enough that the community can start policing the bad behaviours that were let off as “we need the business”. This can be why the turn of events can afford to start vetting out the bad ones in the bunch. 

Finally. I’ve heard stories of abuse for years coming from the convention scene. Always an open secret. Always brushed off as “just creepy anime dude y’know?”

the demand to feel like you have a big ‘un while piloting an SUV/truck is too strong. 

they enjoy the psychological superiority of suv’s/trucks more than fuel costs.

I think the psychology of suv’s/trucks is what drives it despite gas prices. “big vehicle to make me feel big and powerful” overrides and extra 40-200 a month in fuel.

You need to remember that apparently all writers on Gizmodo are broke, since they always bitch about prices.

$100/year for the middling content Netflix provides still whips the living daylights out of the $100/month for pure garbage that the local cable co. has on offer.

I am one of last sad saps who also subscribes to DVD

This whole article is a really convoluted and long way to write “Stop liking things I don’t like”. The creators’ answer was perfect.
