What exactly did they accomplish by luring me in? I didn’t go out and buy her music or concert tickets. 

How is a singer not a musician? 

Yeah. I’m a huge Metallica fan and have actually avoided listening to that ever since it was released.

“forced-fake sex appeal of Spears and Aguiler”

Why in the world would you ever want to give your child this power? 

I was also young when it came out and purchased it. It was one of the two albums I purchased on cassette before I got a CD player. The other was Dookie if you’re curious.

I have so many good memories of this game. It was released during a good time in my life. I was young and my now-wife and I had moved into an apartment together earlier in the year. It was a great transition period where I was an adult making adult money, but I did not yet own a home, have children, or a whole lot of…

Some of these albums are truly terrible, some I’m unfamiliar with because the artists aren’t my thing, and others aren’t terrible at all. One Hot Minute is not a terrible album. Sure, it’s far from RCHP’s best, but there are some decent tunes there. Also, I chuckled at referring to Motley Crue and Billy Idol as…

I assume the OP was being sarcastic, but I don’t really see how it’s any different from the bazillion other type of venues that have both alcohol and children present. This would include my home. 

I am among the avid home cooks with a small kitchen who would love a stand mixer, but there just isn’t room for it. I do have a corded KitchenAid hand mixer, and I will say that it works very well. I make spritz cookies every Christmas and the thick dough killed more than one cheaper hand mixer. I’ve had the…

What you say is true even of custom builds. I have an uncle who is married but never had kids. He owns a piece of land and he and his wife wanted to have a relatively small two-bedroom house built on it. He also works in the construction industry and knows a lot of builders. He could not find one willing to build what…

And my opinion is that only an asshole would value the life of an air show pilot more than an innocent bystander. 

“Where is NOT a populated area unless you are over an ocean?” A heavily forested area, the middle of a desert, remote mountains, etc. 

I can’t imagine this working. How many people are going to proactively download an app like this? I can’t imagine being in a traffic stop and telling the cop to wait a minute because I have to download an app before I can talk to them. 

Is it? Girl School via Motorhead taught me that the number is 999.

“I doubt his career is over. The rule is VERY much “when in doubt, punch out”. The pilot is FAR more valuable than the airplane is.”

Auto plants operate on a jobs-per-hour (jph) basis. I don’t see it being feasible to increase line rates enough for a plant to get the same amount of production out of a worker in 32 hours that they would in 40 hours. The problem with a 4 day, 32 hour workweek is that it doesn’t work for all jobs if you want to keep…

Nuance gets lost in a lot of comments around stories about the strike. Multiple things can be true at once. It could be the case that:

To me a please like Bdubs becomes a bar after 9 or so. As far as other places, they are unquestionably bars that offer full kitchens and don’t check IDs at the door. I have no idea if they would allow kids inside, but they are definitely bars, sort of a you know it when you see it situation. 

Have to show your ID to get in the front door? That’s an odd definition. The only place I ever recall needing to show my ID at was an awful club a friend wanted to go to when we were around 21-22.
