I like to try to figure out who these people are on Facebook. The only thing better is going on 538 where people use their real and often publicly viewable profiles to say insane stuff. Like one dude is a lawyers who constantly shows just the worst logic. I wonder if his clients know his brain is broken.

I had a roommate that either refused to close his mouth while he chewed or was physically unable to do so. This was always annoying, but was unbearable at times. He had a habit of getting drunk and then getting a 2 AM snack of kimchi that he ate straight out of the jar while standing in front of the open fridge in…

This advice also carries over to bars and bartenders/bar backs, but its a little fuzzier.

I desperately need to re-watch this movie

There was (might still be) a Cheba Hut in Madison, WI. The sandwiches were quite good and they had a pretty decent happy hour. It was a great place to grab a bite and some beers before hockey game.

So we’re just pretending Torche doesn’t exist?

I have fond memories of the Sega game:

Sorry Drew, the Cincinnati Reds already beat you to the sports call karaoke in the Reds Hall of Fame there is an interactive activity where you can see how Marty/Thom/Nuxy/others called famous Reds moments and then do it yourself.

It’s funny, but I (a straight dude who has struggled with weight) started to come around to this line of thinking after seeing a Jessica Simpson Weight Watchers ad a long time ago.

I miss living in Toronto.

“Oh yeah the prime minister, eh? He sure has screwed up things for Newfoundland. Life just hasn’t been the same since he made sodomy illegal.”

The have points/”evidence” your opponent is not prepared to directly dispute is a hallmark of far right debate tactics. My uncle used to basically surprise attack debate me about gay rights, equal rights, affirmative action, etc (basically whatever Bill/Rush/Ann was on about that week) and he’d have all these points…

Not everyone that seems to understand a topic on a deep level understands it in a way that can be communicated to other people, let alone taught and lots of people who do understand it in a way that can be communicated/taught completely lack the ability or desire to teach.

Also, I’m from Cincinnati and I feel like it partially qualifies Ohio for the South (which was not reflected in the categories) and also (weirdly) spiritually in the Northeast (which you did say Ohio qualifies for).

Indiana, while physically in the regions you specify, is most spiritually in the deepest of the Deep South.

No, I’m changing lanes, as appropriate.

I live in Detroit, so I see every flavor of bad driving: utter lack of turn signals, insanely frequent and ineffective lane changes, using the right turn lane at a stoplight as a way to pass traffic when it turns green, drag racing during rush hour that goes into oncoming traffic lanes, parking and driving in bike…

Hanlon’s Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity .

Yeah. Thinking about this led me to spend a good portion of my afternoon reading about survivor bias and other statistical fallacies that ruin everything.

Oh yeah, 100% that.
