Vaping has reached a critical douche mass similar to that of the fedora.

I know, right? I work in a very gossipy, inter-connected industry, so no matter how well-deserved the "fuck you"—and even if others agree with you that it's deserved—it still can mean a blacklisted resume.

I've been nothing if not professional every time I've given notice at a job. I'm terrified of burning bridges.

Is he vaping? He's totally vaping. What a douchespigot.

This is all very accurate. My weight gain came from booze calories.

About ten years ago, I went to Windsor, Canada for NYE. The drinking age there is 19, so it's a hotspot for under-21's in neighboring Detroit. After the ball dropped, I had a number of suitors to choose from to bring back to my hotel room for the night. Long story short, I chose very, very wrong—I took home the one…

Oh that dress on the left. I BEGGED my mother to let me get that for freshman year homecoming. She insisted that anything that comes from a catalog is not to be trusted, so. Y'know. There was some angst about it.

I'm still pretty sympathetic towards the Heigl. Sure, she might be an asshole, but Shonda really gave her some awful stories to work with.

Tears of joy, natch. God, I love Carlton.

I think I actually got a tear in my eye when I saw this last night. I get really emotional over 90s-era television, you guys.

I'd say less bronzer, more spray-on tan. But otherwise 100% correct.

Y'know what happens when you DON'T teach kids accurately about their reproductive organs and functions?

I'm calling shenanigans on kids not being able to physically tolerate strong flavors. PLENTY of kids grow up with flavorful, adventurous food and love it. I think it all comes down to what kids get used to early on.

I do generally concur with you that China is probably the bigger geostrategic issue the U.S. should be worried about—and we've definitely not directed enough resources toward them (despite Obama's big announcement about the "pivot" a few years back).

I didn't specify 7,000 bombs deployed, but you do realize all of those require active maintenance and do take up a portion of our nuke budget? We should absolutely decrease our reserve in addition to our active arsenal.

My point is that we've gone way beyond the threshold of what's necessary for an effective deterrent, and to our detriment. Maintaining our arsenal at its current size creates the problems we have now—these nukes are taking up an inordinate amount of budget, and it's so large that we're no longer maintaining them well,…

You do realize it is possible to reduce the arsenal without eliminating it altogether, right?

Well no, but it needn't be an either/or proposition. Modernize for safety by all means, but there's also a case to be made for reductions.

It's the classic defense budget dilemma. You can't cut anything for nukes for two reasons:

Let's go find Britney, get her some childcare for the night, and binge watch Netflix together. We'd all be so happy.
