That was my take on that excuse. I mean, if you use the word offensively, then it was already in your arsenal.

In this case, I’d say that’s fair enough.

The UK has a slightly different, but still unfair, system. The biggest part of it is our “Public” schools (actually expensive and private - for ages 10 to 18 approx.). They offer a damn fine education - for a price, and assuming your intent is to get into Oxford or Cambridge. Hence the very noticeable trend of what a…

“It’s complicated”

They should have just ripped off Hyperion, and said that the AI were using human minds as a neural network - a place to reside.

Anthem - the Fyre Festival of games... no, that’s unfair (to someone).

Well, that’s ruff.

I get the impression that a lot of commentators haven’t noticed that you’re okay with whole canned tomatoes - admittedly that’s rather tucked away at the end of the article.

Don’t even get me started on the cats (we have 4) - “There’s a cat sleeping on the chopping board!”, “Well, turn it over...”

Is the dog-plate thing weird? When we’ve finished a meal, our plates go straight on the floor for a quick clean-up before hitting the sink.

It can be two things.

Hang on - I’ve always assumed that this is the original of that girl. I’m wrong?

You can be fucked-up without fucking kids. Of course we should try to understand the paths that lead to someone becoming abusive, but having a reason isn’t the same thing as having an excuse.

Superman’s always been fairly consistent in the comics. The point isn’t that you can’t subvert that - Frank Miller did an excellent job in DKR - but that by creating, essentially, a completely new character, it doesn’t even really count as a subversion - it’s just copyright infringement... ;)

“Bulochnikov also allegedly lifted Shakhnazaryan’s breasts and placed objects, like iPhones and remote controls, beneath them.”

I have no idea what to do with this information apart from laugh guiltily.

In the end, I don’t give a shit what Trump’s favourite foods are, but I am puzzled. How does someone who grows up pretty damn privileged end up with such working-class preferences? I mean, rich people tend to be pretty committed to “fine-dining” (aka “we are guardians of good taste”) - wtf happened? 

My understanding, as they say, is that it’s a little more complicated than that.

Firstly, whatever IQ is testing is not predominantly, and cannot be, genetic. Why? Because, whatever is being tested has increased significantly since testing began, and evolution just can’t work that quickly. So IQ is largely associated…

What’s that quote about “the right embrace, the left exclude”, or something like that?

“We’re selling a pipe dream to your average loser.”

Heh - for anyone who went, that’s got to be a low blow on top of everything else. Fyre Fest is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Gosh, isn’t capitalism efficient!
