“You’re a real big shot,” I yelled back to him, gesturing with one hand and holding my ice cream cone in the other.

few years back my boss asked me to take some leave, and i asked what difference it makes, and it turns out in this EU country firms functionally have to put accrued overtime or comp time into escrow, so that in the event they go bankrupt their employees won’t be fucked over. i was really shocked by this at first, but…

*Ahem*

Not even remotely how that works. Capital gains kicks in when you sell an asset, not when you buy or receive it. And Canada has an exemption on cap gains for your primary residence anyways. So as long as whoever wins it decides to actually live there most of the year, they’re in the clear.

I think it’s smart. If you want to grow the game, it’s probably a good idea to send over two teams that fans can watch and think “Well, I could do that.” 

FWIW almost every comedy club is that hard up.

My daughters’ daycare providers have been making a few comments on her . . . um. . . willfulness (it’s inherited).  I will definitely be sure to refer to her contumacious nature next time we are discussing her.

Had to look up “contumacious”.

The implied causation presented with those statistics makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out. Maybe her failed committed relationships taught her valuable life lessons that contributed to the success of her marriage. Maybe her abortion allowed her to finish college and achieve her dreams.

wear that chant like a fucking badge of honor

As a scientist? I really have to hand it to you that you went on this deep-dive into this topic. This is pretty much what I’d have expected, if a journalist tried to find an answer to a controversial scientific question, and yet you didn’t try to streamline all this insanity or cut it down. You let it be long and…

“If we all followed “You Get Two Questions,” the basic and formative rule set by my former colleague Allie Jones some time ago...”

The victims are the local Bahamians (?), contractors, and employees who got roped into this. Many working 20 hour days leading up to the “event” and cleaning up afterwards.

Same. I’m gonna be all over the Hulu one later today.

No one that owns their own boat does.  Not to mention, sand moves.  Even a little, and then you have an explorer st reef.

The thing is that no one is actually entitled to due process to protect their right to fame, though. Due process protects our legal right to freedom when we are formally charged with breaking the law (which C.K. has not been). Fame is the very definition of a popularity contest and you do not need to be proven guilty…
