holy shit is this dumb. Rick Perry, yes rick perry, had the right plan re: supreme court when he ran for prez last time. 18 year revolving terms, each president gets to appoint two justices, and it all works out.

There’s only one logical way to do this.

The problem as Adams see it is none of those qualities in and of themselves. Dilbert the character is the smart, hardworking Computerman and the boss is evil because he isn’t as smart as Dilbert and doesn’t know anything about computers. Adams’ conservatism is of that slightly libertarian, completely ego-driven…

going to disagree with you on hudson yards. i moved to it after living in chelsea for many years, and your characterization of living here in not borne out by my (or my other friends) life experience.

Ehhh, I’d rather they make Original Sin 3. The story of Baldur’s Gate was definitively concluded, the team behind the franchise has long since dispersed, and anything pretending to be a sequel will be a spiritual sequel at best. It’s like writing Hamlet 2, which only makes sense as a joke.

Unfortunately, in my experience and based on a lot of other people’s tales, HR is there to protect the company, not the employees.

I respectfully disagree. All dogs are awesome because they are not people.

Sorry, but this is extremely confused. Both in terms of GoT and in terms of the Middle Ages.

To be fair St. Olga of Kiev did set an entire city on fire by tying flammable material to the feet of pigeons and releasing them back to their nests (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_of_Kiev).

People forget that Scandinavian countries have a long, sordid past of imperial conquest and racism. Does the Dutch East India company ring a bell?

I’m slowly but surely getting on the “remove instant replay in all sports” bandwagon because it fucking sucks.  No, I don’t want to hear about how you lost your money gambling.  No, I don’t want to hear about “getting it right.”  No, I don’t want you to bring up examples about how it benefited the teams I support. …

There was an article on Kotaku that compare GoT to Fullmetal Alchemist (2003). Like GoT, FMA03 was made well before the manga was even finished so they decided to just make up their own ending. We just need to wait out for GoT’s equivalent to FMA: Brotherhood.

The noon hour is one of my most productive. Lunch has kicked in, I am recharged, and no one fucking bothers me. 

This is the stupidest line of logic. Get these drivers hired elsewhere, Uber hires new people that are still getting screwed over. How about we just improve conditions for these drivers so that the problem stops rather than glibly suggesting they get new jobs.

They should also forward their resumes so that you guys can help them find a better place of employment since you’re all so concerned about the drivers. 

Ford: Gives up logo as collateral to secure loan.

10+ years of cycling and I have the same experience.  A pool noodle will make you more of a target for the assholes who already think it’s fine to use their car as way to intimidate someone on a bike.  So many close calls, I’d never do this. 

“you have a favorite show? haha, idiot. be like me instead and don’t enjoy anything”

The worst chicken breast dish: that one on the menu at whichever seafood place/steakhouse/whatever that’s clearly there specifically to pacify the food coward in your party.
