The only possible explanations for abuse or neglect to the talent that draws people into your club is a complete lack of good business sense, or the psychological need to keep a population of marginalized workers hyperaware of where the power is. For fucks sake, nobody’s coming to these clubs because the bartender is…

Referring to sticking your house or car key into a bag of coke if you’re missing a coke spoon (yes, a real item) has been a thing I’ve heard since the ‘70s. Possibly longer, but I didn’t know about coke until the ‘70s, so that’s the first time I heard it.

Umm, EXCUSE ME, they spent the money on Helvetica, which is Arial for classy people.

Mescaline. Big Chief. Blue Caps. Buttons. Cactus. Media Luna. Mescal. Mezcakuba. Moon. San Pedro. Topi. Whatever the kids are calling it these days.

I used to do both. Pre-game a little to loosen up, then hit the mini-bottles. Somewhere there’s footage of me slithering down the little stairway truck onto the runway, the first vet from my hometown to come home after the Gulf War in the spring of 1991. Nobody told me there would be news crews, and nobody told the…

Alcohol and who knows what else, these days.

That can’t be from the ‘80s, it’s got to be from mid-70s at the height of the (‘73) oil crisis. Corporations were talking about using less air conditioning in office buildings to save money. In the 1980s we had much less polyester, and svelt lines on our European-cut single-breasted suits with skinny ties.

Anyone have a good explanation for why music videos are a thing?

As the former daily driver of an Aveo, I don’t know that I ever would have described it as a “passenger car”. Every time I had a passenger in it I realized how tiny it really was. But I will say it was hard as hell to kill. That little thing was a gas-sipper and just kept running and running.

Risky. You could try the “stand your ground” defense, only to find out that for some reason (gender, skin color, nationality, religious affiliation) that defense wasn’t meant for you.

At a certain point in the disease of alcoholism when your liver is shitting the bed, a drink or two puts you as far under the table as two racks of beer did when you were healthy. So it’s still entirely possible.

This is the correct take, here.

This is amazing to me because I didn’t know Grimes did anything in secret. I thought everything she did was publicity.

You’re technically correct. This is also the technical distinction people who get off to children make to assure themselves it’s somehow less gross. Also the “It’s evolutionarily advantageous, it’s just biology!” argument. The bottom line is that a child of any developmental stage should not be sexualized or…

“Jinken” in the context she used it in doesn’t exactly mean human rights, which is its literal definition in the broader language. In gaming context it means more sort of a right to play the game, or in a gendered sense like saying someone doesn’t have what it takes to get the job done, or doesn’t have what it takes…

In ‘Merica, some right-wing group would have sued his employer on his behalf for recording him while driving. They’d claim that the accident was due to his distraction and mental anguish over being spied upon.

I thought leg shackles were a terrible visual as well, so you’re not alone. Horny Jail can’t just be bars or prison scrubs?

I think this is fucking awesome. I say that as a five-decade-long Batman fan and a person with light pink skin. It’s been a great comic from issue #0 on, an absolutely solid read. This doesn’t confront my fandom of the character in any way and I hope that the people who will have a problem with it just keep their…

In this vein, a table would have been a good informational tool for the author to include. Side by side by side comparison of price point and specs.
