This hurts to read, I was classified into remission for the 2nd time of my life just a week ago. Reading someone who lost their war with it hurts, my 2nd battle with it was .. close.. to put mildly. Statistically I know it’ll probably win the war against me eventually.. but I’m kinda hoping I get taken out by anything…

This guy looks like a fuckin psycho; he reminds me of the guys that would get transferred to my platoon and when I asked them why they joined the army in our initial interview, they’d say, “to shoot people.” Cool, cool, guess who’s guarding the weather balloon for the rest of the deployment instead of going on…

I don’t remember that he blamed her but he definitely didn’t stand up for her. He skated away consequence-free, whereas she was blamed for the whole thing. He should’ve spoken up for her.

Les Moonves really ought to have done more thinkin’ and less moonves.

I guess it was a big deal in some circles? I remember it being a thing that people talked about for a couple days, and then disappearing to whatever the next ‘scandal’ was.

9/11 was the 9/11 of the culture wars.

This is doubly weird for me, since I’ve always referred to 9/11 as the wardrobe malfunction of America’s foreign policy.

Drive a 2000s Mitsubishi Mirage?

Agreed. “Shackets” are a sad fashion attempt at quilted flannel work shirts. The real thing is better. And also probably less expensive.

Great Job Internet has been around since ... forever. You’re like a person using a library for the 5th time and flipping table after finding the microfiche booths. “Remember when this place was all about books?! WTF IS THIS?!”

Amusingly, one of the gated communities near me has an *18mph* speed limit. Evidently 15mph was too slow, and 20mph just too damned fast.

Those old magnetic speedometers aren’t linear at all near 0. So the graduations are adjusted to make the readings more accurate.

Yeah, I can’t see any scenario with the words Kia and 80k in it: like you said, if I’ve got that kind of money, there’s other options — me, I’m buying a used minivan and a Corvette (or other impractical car).

The Telluride is a very nice car and top of its class - for a $40K vehicle.

KIA worked so hard to shake off their cheap and shitty car image just have it all ruined by shitty dealers. 

Her “I wish for peace between my country and our neighbors” statement is pretty basic and the disproportionate response to it is more about attacking her as a proxy for the Israeli government due to her visibility. Holding a person accountable in this way for the actions of others due to their sharing the same…

anyone that can reelect a turtle to senate that many times has got to be a bit addled.

Well, it *is* Kentucky.

Few non-historians realize that one of the reasons that Christianity replaced the old pagan gods as the dominant religion is the fact that late-stage Zeus was demanding increasingly larger and larger venues for him and his band to perform. And if the seats weren’t packed and worshipers dutifully ecstatic by the…

It’s always nice when an esteemed actor enters the “old and bearded enough to play Zeus” phase of their career (see: Neeson, Liam; Olivier, Laurence; Bean, Sean)
