Look, I am no fan of the TSA...and I think that this is example one million of the idiotic security theatre that allows the government to employ thousands of dimwits to waste time, energy and money frisking people for no benefit...but I am pretty sure this doesn’t qualify as “being treated like dogs” or an experience

I always love the “paid for by tourists” malarky...it’s such wonderful bullshit...because a family that has a budget of say $2000 isn’t going to reduce spending elsewhere to account for their now, more expensive, hotel room...which will lower the tax benefit elsewhere by a, likely, equal amount...OR mean people opt

Maybe I have just been lucky...but the US is the only country I’ve had to wait in line for more than 20 minutes...Peru, Kenya, Chile, Argentina, Iceland, London, Tokyo, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Hong Kong (all in the past 36 months) have all been super quick...it’s only, in my experience, US destinations that

Pro sports everyone! I look forward to the inevitable“Las Vegas to pay off stadium for 30 years while team moves to Idaho” article.

Prediction - The second the youngest turns 18, they are collectively going to disassociate themselves from him and he’s going to go ballistic.

It was THE most racist show in TV history. Every single non-black person on the show was either stupid, evil or wanted to be black. I don’t remember a single non-black role on the entire show that was anything other than “oh look the white daughter of the stupid guy is a slut”, “oh the entire class of white kids love

Uh, he’s bang on...my sister gets like five of these pitches a year...it seems like every other month some “old friend” has looked her up to pitch her on one of these things...in my entire life I’ve had two...the first was a travel one that I literally said to the guy “this is a scam, I am not an idiot, don’t bring

Flying is dirt cheap. People amaze me with this “omg flying is so expensive”. I can go from Toronto to Tokyo for $1300 US. I repeat. I can go 12,000 miles return for $1300. That’s the other side of the f’ing planet!

If this was 1920, I might agree with you...if in 2017 you think the team gives the vaguest crap about its fans and won’t move if they can make an extra buck elsewhere then you are just naive. Rooting for a pro sports team in 2017 is like getting together with a woman everyone says is crazy. Sure there is a chance it

Other than the 1/1000 times an athlete goes off the rails, what comes out of these press conferences other than platitudes anyway? You cannot convince me that sideline reporters, locker room interviews and post game press conferences diseappering would have a meaningful impact on anything.

The “scoop game” is such media driven nonsense. Once it’s reported, the info is everwhere in ten seconds flat, so do you honestly think that consumers seek this stuff out on purpose? Like, would I follow X on twitter to get a ten minute head start on a free agent signing three months before the season starts? Or that

F16? Not only will you never get decent shutter speeds wthout a tripod at that aperture but your lens is almost certainly much sharper at f5.6...why on earth would anyone recommend F16 for anything but landscape photography with a tripod is beyond me.

Simple...men don’t care about this stuff the way women do...women are the driver of the decision to have kid 99% of the time...women have different feelings on cleanliness than men do...and women are conditioned by 100,000 years of biology to be caregivers where men aren’t.

Would have been nice to include a 970M or 980M...I mean, let’s be honest, how many people have the top two cards compared to the two I mentioned?

The US is 9th on GDP per capita...and given economic disparity, I’d imagine that once you remove the top 1%, the US is more like a 2nd world nation than anything. Add in terrible healthcare, an insane president, religious nuttery, rapand racism and the illusion the US is some fabulous place is bolstered more by rose

And the game isn’t even out yet! These things always get day 1 patches and patches down the line.

There are days I wish I was capable of caring about stuff that way. I mean, can you imagine? I think the entire NFL could fold and it would merit a shrug.

So you’re argument boils down to “Supposedly good team, shouldn’t be expected to beat less good team in a five game tournament”? I mean, jeez, thems the breaks...shit happens...they lost...the entire world does not need to change because Villanova wasn’t better.

Stock is up 20% since last year at this time...The scancal impacted the stock for all of four months before it fully rebounded and went higher. 

That’s the thing...Ghostbusters was terrible...I lasted 19 minutes...I couldn’t get through 10 of her special...and I am on their side! But, jeez, both deserve 1 stars.
