Funny how the the big beautiful Mexican-financed wall doesn't require Mexico to pay for it.

I wish I were a general contractor. I'd totally put in an awesome bid for the contract after getting some advice from a cryptologist and embedding a message like "Donald Trump is a dipshit gringo" in code in the wall design.

We're just gonna have to agree to disagree on what is "meaningful" engagement.

My requirements for a smart, charming, beautiful girlfriend:
- smart
- charming
- beautiful
Gosh, this stuff writes itself!

She gives the shows a sense of continuity without having to pay any of the central characters to appear in a cross-over episode. Feels purely budget driven.

I haven't watched it yet. Given the pre-release reviews, which were almost universally abysmal, I was just really surprised this show is getting consistent "B" grades on avclub. That's pretty much what I'd rate Daredevil, season 2, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones, and yet the consensus seems to be that Iron Fist is…

man, it almost seems like the reviewer is *enjoying* this series. unbelievable.

Couldn't agree more. It wouldn't be the same show set anywhere else, and it does a brilliant job portraying the LA/Hollywood "bubble." They're all trapped in this tiny showbiz world that is wildly unhealthy, but they can't stop themselves and they can't escape. Huh, put that way. I wonder if there are some No Exit…

Another instance of not understanding what makes a show work.

Well, I'm sure that can be said of some teams, e.g. those at D3 schools, Ivy League, Stanford, etc. And for sure, I don't mean to say that jocks can't be smart. But the dumb jock exists too. Exhibit a: Shaq.

This has got to be a sophisticated NBA player's union conspiracy to prank everybody.

Cheers. I like the portability, and I like Nintendo properties, and I like indies. As I've gotten busier, it's been harder to make time to sit down and play long sessions, and my online gaming has gone to basically zero. So I like the sound of this system, it seems like I can fit it in easier. Reckon I'll wait it…

good call. That's certainly an option, assuming I don't drop it in the toilet.

hey now. puma attacks were a leading cause of death in the old west. apparently.

Key question - is it worth buying a Nintendo switch for? Are people happy with the system? 360 is high for a single game, and I have my concerns about the console. I might have to wait and see if the console does better and lasts longer than the WiiU did.

And thank god nobody is saying Enigma.

Well you gotta try Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Ultimate Sextrack. Nothing like it for getting into the mood!

I like eating melted cheddar cheese and crushed potato chips on toasted peanut butter sandwiches, but I'm woke enough to know it's not good for me and it counts as a guilty pleasure.

oh, well, because I'm posting here. :) ha.
