Nobody makes epics like they were made in the 50s, 60s and 70s anymore.

Ah the old no true Scotsman.

Your daily reminder, also, that while the 18th century was a long time ago and conceptions of morality were different, they were not so radically different that the immorality of slavery could not have been understood. Opposition to slavery was a perfectly respectable political position to hold. In fact, it was such a…

Has Cleese got another divorce to pay off?

To be fair, in the 80s there weren’t American concentration camps full of children, so. 

Has he got bigger tits than Cher?

Luckily everyone still has their guns, amiright? Ready for “Civil War 2: Have We Learned Nothing?”

Wait a minute. Four x Four squares? This might be BING or INGO, but it can’t be BINGO.

Trump: My doctor says it’s ok to run with bone spurs, but not war.  Can’t do war.

It should not be forgotten that the global destabilization we are all experiencing lay squarely on Cheney’s shoulders. The fallout of his actions, from the wars in the Middle East, to the expansion of Executive power, are things we continue to feel and suffer for, especially under Trump.

Confirmation bias is killing us. The faster the internet becomes, the faster it seems to spread.

Cheney is a vicious, Nuremberg-level, war criminal.

There was a really good Oatmeal on the concept as well:

“That is not a UFO.” ≠ “Aliens don’t exist.” 

I’m sure that the foreign military intelligence agencies and/or multinational tech corporations that own these aircraft are loving that everybody just thinks “OMG ALIENS!”

Basically any women who runs for president will be attacked as “Hillary 2.0" because this country is so fucking sexist it’s not even funny.  Apparently it’s impossible for mostly men to see women as individuals with their own agenda and policies.

If you already have the loan lined up (not pre-approved for $X amount, but actually fully approved), why on earth would your deal fall through because of finances? I’ve had to have my loan fully approved in order to snag a house before, and I only put 5% down (VA Loan).

And, yeah, low appraisals happen; but that’s a…

You are not required to have a 20% down payment, but you will then have to pay a monthly fee for PMI (personal mortgage insurance). This will stay on the note until you have reached what would have been an effective 20% payment against principle. You will be swapping lower front-end money for longer-term higher…

I forget where I saw the statistic, but the actual average in the US is somewhat less than 10%. It’s probably skewed down by people with VA loans, but with an FHA loan you can put as little as 3.5% down. If say if you think 10% is attainable, though, that’s a good figure to aim for, since that’s a conventional…

All you really need is a good credit rating and a Buyer’s market. Last house I bought I even got my earnest money back at closing. Good luck!
