The button on the bottom is the cross and symbolizes Jesus. The quadrilateral-shaped button symbolizes the books of the Bible, which represents the Holy Spirit. The three-sided pointer aims toward God in the Heavens. Meanwhile the roundish shape on the right symbolizes zero, the absence of Good, Beelzebub, the hoary…

I want to say “thank you” since you helpfully provided me a link, but I can only muster a sarcastic version since you have measurably made my life worse by pointing me to this article. I did not think I could believe Brooks was any closer to a literal piece of shit than I did, but I hated every word of this article,…

Holy shit. What?

This is also exactly how I remember the book “It.” Fairly compelling first half that completely falls apart in the second half. Was done with Stephen King books after that. 

Jim Jeffords did exactly that in 2001, single-handedly flipping the Senate to Democrats (and more consequentially since he immediately voted to make Daschle majority leader, unlike in the UK where the Conservatives losing their majority is not likely to create a new Prime Minister). 

People who want to pretend that their barely-trained dog is a service dog so they can take them everywhere will ABSOLUTELY have answers to those questions. A few months ago a guy took his dog to my workplace and literally couldn’t get him off the floor; he had to yank on the leash for several minutes to move him after…

Shitty people who won’t follow regulations regarding where you can take your pets will also not worry about what the law actually says when deciding to hire a lawyer to sue these companies for putting their cute widdle doggie who would never hurt ANYONE in with the poor people’s pets.

I have done this many times and stopped feeling guilty about it. I hate boss fights and will only finish games if the final boss fight is relatively easy. Games I put down and never saw the ending of after a particularly difficult fight:

I’m always amazed how Panera fucks up literally everything, and people still seem to love it. After 4-5 honest attempts to find something appetizing, I now veto it every time somebody suggests it. 

Since Trump only hires undocumented immigrants, having his properties overseas is the only way he’ll pay Americans. 

Let’s build multi-million dollar mansions all over the country, each with its own targeted death trap for a selected billionaire’s weird tastes. It’ll be like Se7en for rich people. 

I think you’ve given me an astigmatism. That is one blurry comic.

In fairness, I am a chinless liberal dork who has occasionally used a goatee for the former purpose.

Really surprised you used the word “just,” as this is more of an “actually” post.

IIRC they called me, but it definitely was not just some stranger. They had information about my computer from Dell’s records. 

That was the business model. Offer sales and sell at a loss to undercut all the competition, then jack up the prices and eliminate service. I’m surprised how few people have really noticed that Amazon isn’t cheaper than the competition anymore and won’t take care of customers like they used to. 

Um, no. If I go to Target to buy something, and a shady guy stands next to the cash registers and replaces my item with a knockoff and pockets the money, you can bet your ass Target would do something about it. Amazon, not so much.

That reminds me of a very similar experience I had from someone claiming to be Dell tech support. They had my warranty information and everything, and wanted me to do some weird shit on my computer for no good reason. Called from a Dell number too. I suspect it’s a general issue with mega-corporations outsourcing all…

I looked up the reference and was glad I did. 

I think it might be fair to say that Firefly was not successful in part because the Han Solo character does NOT belong in the lead. (Don’t know anything about Cowboy Bebop.) And I think that’s part of why Ford found the role kind of boring: he exists so his cynicism can be shown up by the hero so that the hero can…
