Same reason some guys get stuck paying child support despite DNA evidence clearly showing they have no relation to the subject child: the state is far, far more interested in who can pay than who should.

Didn’t the late, great Paul Mooney have an entire bit on this like 20 years ago? He’d list all the supposed “anti-white” “slurs” like “cracker”, “honky”, “white trash”, etc., and note that white people had never cared at all about being called any of them, and concluded that the appropriate derogatory term for whites…

Too dumb; didn’t read. 

No kidding; I can’t decide if “servile” or “slavish” is the more appropriate descriptor of their tone...

I am feeling this, having spent yesterday morning huddled just outside the door of a local mechanic in freezing weather, swiping (gloveless, of course) on my stupid fucking phone for a full hour trying to find an available ride on Uber or Lyft and making like a dozen calls to cab companies (zero pickups!!) after…

Ubisoft Formica?

Easiest. Boycott. Ever. "Oh noes, I can't play 100-hour fetch quests anymore." 

Get a cheap trolley jack and cordless impact wrench and you could probably cut that clean in half.  I have no idea what he’s talking about, a lift is about as necessary to the job as a laser is to cutting a sandwich.  

I know this is fundamentally absurd, and of all forms of human solidarity the generational is the lowest, blah blah blah, but personally, at a visceral level, I blame the Millennials for this shit. Gen-X won their war in the late 90s, when they shunned that stupid, parasitic DIVX format so monolithically and…

The hostility one is absolutely on point. The last place I rented (god willing, ever) was the downstairs unit of an older duplex, and the owner lived upstairs. Older guy, single, nearing retirement. “Great, great,” I figure, “nice and quiet, no drama, perfect.” In meeting the guy to look at the place, he’s extremely…

Yeah, the front seats literally touched the rear seats on my FR-S. It was usable for my dog, but she’s a 9-lb Shih Tzu, so YMMV...

Speaking as a large individual, the S2000.  It’s basically a gibbet on wheels.

The tanks are actually great in this one, I’ve already gone on probably a score of solid rampages in sporadic playtime, including several where I shot down multiple choppers with unguided shells, and even the occasional sloppy F-35 driver. It’s got plenty of issues, and yes, the series’ peak (which to me was BF:BC2…

You know who left SNL the same year Ferrell began? Adam Sandler. If that guy can make Punch Drunk Love and Uncut Gems, bookending classics like Don’t Mess With the Zohan and The Ridiculous 6, I’m guessing pretty much everyone who ever had an association with SNL secretly believes they’re Richard Burton at this point.

Probably my favorite Will Durant quote is “Nothing is often a good thing to do, and always a clever thing to say.”

That’s funny, just this past Friday I refused to join a buddy’s BF2042 session until he disabled crossplay and told him why (~10% of PC players in any given competitive game are inveterate cheaters, and I already have high blood pressure as it is); turned out he only just got the game a couple of days prior and hadn’t…

There’s no “likely” about it, if there’s an entire hypothesis and attendant field of study dedicated to examining the disappearance of legions of species at that time (“Pleistocene Overkill”), then yeah, unless one believes that dozens and dozens of speciation events specifically occurred in the past ~10K years…

And who’s decision was it to contract those districts’ transport out?  

Yep; love FROM’s games, but any vet knows that most of the enemies are very susceptible to kiting and simply having patience and putting resources into ranged combat will get you through most situations. You’ll still have to deal with some encounters like Capra Demon where you’re effectively pinned and have no choice…

It’s awesome; I finally broke down and bought an impact wrench this summer and just used it to put snow tires on my Mazda this week, I can’t believe I was using a stupid lug wrench like a peasant for years. Literally 1 second per nut, two quick pulls of the trigger and bam, done. It’s basically about the same…
