Starred because of the comment, but mostly for the RLM.

I think he’s definitely going to be a dingus. The first think he asked me after the other two roommates moved out was “so, are you gonna pay more rent?” I get that he wants to get the best value of the house when he does sell it, but that is definitely not my responsibility. 

I am currently going through my most stressful move ever.

GAH!!!!! I grew up in the southwest and these little bastards were absolutely everywhere. We had to turn our shoes and clothes out in the morning in case one of them had take up residence. I am no fan of the black widows.

I work at a shelter run by a housing first organization, and I get asked that question all the time. My parents (both dyed-in-the-wool Republicans) often ask me why the tax payers have to float this bill, and how come they can’t get in on this gravy train? My response is usually two fold: first, do you really want to…

Fuck you with the backwards ass thinking. "This was never made to be reliable and sustainable, so why should people want it to be?" You utter goober. 

Calm it down, Tomato, nobody is falling for your shit.

I was talking with a friend about this the other day. Apple is still the tech de rigueur for many people because it has such a generic quality to it; smartphones are iphones, tablets are ipads, and you know exactly what you’re getting with an Apple product since the general look of them hasn’t changed in at least half…

Game of Thrones is a show made specifically to answer one question: who will be king or queen at the end? Everything the show does is strictly in service to this question, which, for me, makes a lot of the characters seem less like people and more like plot pieces to move around. 

What fucking large group of specialist providers are out there that are just clammering for you? I live in Vermont and have ear issues, do you know what my choices for audiologists are? Two, unless I want to travel to Dartmouth and extent that number to 3. They set the price and I have to pay it because there just…

Bruce Willis is playing a character, you absolute nitwit. 

If you have to explain your joke, your joke sucks. To paraphrase Mike Birbiglia, when you have to tell people “I’m joking!” then you are bad at telling jokes.

Managers across the country are shaking in their boots. 

For me, they spent so much time and energy creating these interesting, well rounded human characters that a mystical foe just doesn’t have the same emotional “umph” to it. I was talking with my mom about the show, and she said that she loves all the politicking and infighting, but the supernatural stuff bores her. And…

A green chile cheeseburger from Bob’s Burgers (actual place in ABQ), or a red from Twisters sounds absolutely freaking delightful right now.

GMG is the aloof but "serious" friend who never mentally left college and hedges all it's best by being snarky about everything, then yelling "I'm joking" when somebody calls them out. They hitched their wagon on Bernie because even if he loses, they win; they can spout conspiracy theories about centrist saboteurs…

They’re mostly fine as individual movies. Winter Soldier and Ragnorok are the high points for me, because they work as part of a whole and separately to tell compelling, interesting stories. What most people like them are the intriguing and interesting characters, and the literal decade long mythology that ties them…

Nah. Trump and anybody else can say whatever the hell they want, but they do not have a right to say these things on a particular platform. 

Russ is so used to being an unstoppable bully on the court that now that his skills are starting to naturally deteriorate, he just can’t wrap his head around the concept of changing his game to his changing body. I can’t wait for, like, 7 years from now when he’s the backup PG in Minnesota and has a feel good…
