Look on the bright side, at least now the townspeople wont lash her to a seaside cliff as an offering to be a bride for the Kraken in exchange for sparing their town from total destruction for another year.

What’s with Jez’s clickbait headlines today? This is the third headline that it utterly belied by the content of the story. The Times (for all it’s many, many, MANY faults) didn’t capitulate to the racist trolls, it literally stood by her .

The headline doesn’t seem to match the story? “Capitulates” suggests they fired her, when they actually released a statement of support. Total clickbait.

It has been the stance all along. Catholics have been against the death penalty for a LONG time. All Pope Francis did was make the language clearer and more definitive and the media are freaking out and misrepresenting it. 

When I was in Catholic high school, we learned that the death penalty was a no-go all the time. Maybe I learned a different form of Catholicism. 

My dad also really liked it! But he likes 2 and a Half Men and the Big Bang Theory, so although I love him to death, I never trust his movie/show recommendations.

Bright really was terrible so of course it was almost immediately greenlit for a sequel.

I think that was “Bright.” And his partner is not an alien but an orc, and yes it is really dumb. My dad really liked it for some reason but I could not even get through a third of it. 

was that Netflix sci fi movie with Will Smith and an alien cop in LA this year? That was terrible.

Can’t lie, if it was FACE/OFF I’d probably let him hit. Such a classic.

Slightly related, I once hooked up with a guy in college who pulled the whole “want to watch a movie” thing. But it wasn’t any of those. No, his “I wanna bang” movie of choice was FACE/OFF. So weird. 

We all know the real reason he missed that hand...

my roommate in college said he was upper middle class too, his parents were millionaires, but because there was always someone richer he believed that he fit in more with the middle class. his parents brought a new car every year and he had a trust fund. he was driving a Mercedes S class to high school, it was a model…

Thank you, this is the simplest answer. It’s all variable over the tax-year. (And anyone who says it can be made to be super simple is just ignorant.)

‘with a script by The Big Short co-writer Charles Randolph (not exactly who I’d pick for a project shaping up with an incredible cast but, oh well!) ‘. I do not understand this. The Big Short was a terrific film with an incredible cast. 

Because the deductions/credits/exemptions for each individual/couple are different. They couldn’t possibly get the correct amount of withholding without knowing the exact amounts of those allowances that a person will claim and, in many cases, the amount of such allowance isn’t known until the end of the tax year…

Because they don’t know how much you will end up deducting from your taxes for medical, charity, home mortgage interest, etc. And the taxpayer doesn’t always know what their outside income might be from taxes, rental income, investments. 

I was more amazed at how good Apatow’s Seth Rogan voice was!

Can we call them joots?

I heard she ghosted him.
