If what I’ve observed in the corporate world translated to cartoon Springfield, his incompetence would mean he would have been promoted several times by now and making an enviable salary doing his job badly.

If their interests are making sure someone is worse off than they are, then they aren’t voting against their own self interests.  They just have bad self interests.

As B’dilliBay said above - it’s a stimulus, so if your family went and spent it on non-essential items it’s still working. 

I’m a conflicted over this. I got the full $1,200 as did my wife and eldest daughter, and my youngest daughter got $500. The thing is, wife and I make good money and daughters are attending school on scholarships and grants. None of us has lost a dime.

It doesn’t. Don’t strain your brain trying to figure it out.

I thought it was pretty straightforward as well. Doesn’t make up for the other issues with that movie and certainly not his shitty behavior, but at no point did I think “Natasha’s a monster because she’s childless.”

Thanks for pointing out the misinterpretation of that scene, something that always bothered me. Lots of other reasons to criticize Whedon’s writing without misrepresentation.

I don’t think it is a TON better, but I never interpreted the Ultron moment the same way critics of the movie did.

“Your parents raised you to be compassionate, non-judgmental, tolerant of others and open-minded. And despite our best efforts, it looks like those attitudes may be incurable.”

Never talk to the police without a lawyer.
Never, ever, talk to the Sun.

Yeah, I read the headline and had my outrage all locked and loaded and then saw it was a Catholic School and thought “oh yeah, that tracks.” Sure its still shitty, but you did CHOOSE to send your kids to Catholic School so judgement, shunning and hypocrisy are to be expected for anything outside their norms. 

I have a hard time being upset when kids get kicked out of toxic religious schools because their families aren’t toxic religious people.

Oh, no! Now her kids will never learn all of those important ethics and principles only the Catholics can teach...

But who am I to believe about a car issue? Should I believe the site filled with people who think rebuilding a pile of rust into a jeep is fun, or the site that thinks white vinegar is the answer to everything?

Do your windshield wipers chatter
On the windshield overnight?
If Jalponik says “don’t do it”
do you raise them up in spite?
Do they slam into your windscreen
Leaving cracks both left and right?
Do your windshield wipers chatter
On the windshield overnight?

As a Red Seal mechanic, I’ll say: Listen to Jalopnik here. The chances of you damaging you windshield wipers pointing up? Slim to none. The chances of you damaging them from having them frozen to the glass? Probable.

Yup, here these idiots both are, neither with anything useful to add to the world, but both with a platform to deride people for not experiencing life in the way they think they should. Just look at this writer’s credentials. Either they’re stupid, or full of shit.

I just checked, and all three are still available for free at the Blizzard website.

“Middle manager” doesn’t sound very threatening unless you’ve had a bad one.

It’s always the short guys packin’.
