No they don't.

Two years is an incredibly long time to process a joke and still have it whoosh right over your head.

But they probably didn't.

Wrong. Illinois hates Illinois. It's been pretty firmly established at this point. Illinoisians only hate other states when we're taking a break from our own self-loathing.

So my first reaction was "pfft, no way." I was wrong, you're an American hero.

Ah yes, based on one drug charge from more than a year ago, it's clear that he was up to no good when he was shot. That isn't a leap at all.

Yeah, it takes a lot of savor out of the game as a Bears fan. On the one hand, it feels kinda shitty on some level to hope he loses again. On the other, you are just fucking terrified that your team will be the one to break the losing streak.

It came in the middle of a larger push internationally and in the U.S. to fight human trafficking. For instance, in 2003 the UN's trafficking protocol entered into force, in 2005 the EU adopted its Convention on Action against Human Trafficking, and in 2006 the UCMJ was amended to make it a crime for military members…

Fun fact: German toilets are designed with a shelf to encourage poop checking.

I think you might be taking Simon Doonan too seriously.

I know this is a pretty niche complaint that has nothing to do with the tech being demonstrated, but I *hate* the way high-priority security guards are portrayed in video games and movies. As someone who did security for the Air Force for five years, so much of what happens in that video rings false that it totally…

Eh, there was a much better answer to that problem by the time Civ V came out. BTS or Warlords, don't remember which, introduced cavalry "flanking" attacks, and the Rise of Mankind mod created a flanking system where a unit got an attack bonus if there were friendly forces flanking the defender. Combined with…

Seriously?

Also: My first thought on seeing that white line was "Sim Subdivision"

Wait, is that a real thing? You'll actually have to pay to graduate to a bigger plot? Or is that speculation based on current trends?

Tough call. Noah starts with the advantage, obviously, but if the bongs are classic glass ones, then the advantage shifts towards James once they break into jagged shards. If they're made out of something that wont become a straightforward shiv after a few seconds though, I'd bet on Noah.

I think it comes down to the weapons and venue. It's similar to a Jet Li/Jackie Chan matchup: put nunchucks or swords or any normal weapon in their hands and I'd take Li, but if they're wielding trout or precariously balanced Ming vases, the edge goes to Chan. Same goes for James v. Noah. A straightforward fight…

The Catholic church enslaved entire continents?

I had a buddy when I was an MP who was fucking terrified of spiders. To some degree he was hamming it up, but the one time there was one crawling on his vest as he was putting it on, he freaked the fuck out. If I remember the story right, the spider was put there deliberately, because screwing with people's phobia's…
