If your best friend can’t convince you, I’m sure I won’t. But XCOM is fantastic.

Failure on many levels. The delegation of ordering obviously failed because you let an idiot do an important job. The idiot in question failed to take into account group preferences and over-valued his own preference. You need the right people in the right jobs, man.

Slim to none.

Use your “inside voice”, please.

RE: your link. Seems like an elegant solution to the bait and switch tipping on Instacart would be to allow the Instacart shoppers to rate the clients. Eventually the scumbags will be outed and not able to get anyone to pick up for them. Just a thought. 

She ran into some health and financial problems, if I recall correctly. She was a regular in the Wicker Park/East Village/Ukrainian Village scene. I left in 2007 and I think she was no longer a fixture in the bars by then.

Delilah’s...such a great spot. I used to encounter the tamale guy in Wicker Park...Inner town bar, Happy Village, Gold Star... those were the days!

The Smiths were a big part of my musical identity as a teen, so sue me. John Lennon was a wife beater, I still enjoy the Beatles and his solo music. Terrible people can make great art, in fact most of the greats WERE extremely flawed people. If you can’t separate art from artist that’s on you.

“...utterly despised this due to the animation studio being Studio DEEN, with many refusing to watch this based on that fact alone.” 

But how does this explain Trump?

I was sure this was going to be about VirtuaFighter 6. Oh well.

Part of the conspiracy theory is working backwards from your conclusions.

If he plays online video games he’s DEFINITELY already heard someone tell him that.
