And the judge, “this is an unusual position for the judiciary to be in.”

I appreciate the discussion. I just remember hearing for years and years that they were an expensive, “jack of all trades, master of none.”

And apparently we were all going to slit our wrists with slap bracelets, so those promptly banned.

Time to go back to the early ’90s when we all rocked neon laces!

I’m convinced that the whole process was designed to make people give up.

Definitely worth a watch, it takes its liberties like any adaptation, and of course it’s based on a memoir which may have its own embellishments, but overall it’s a fun flick.

I dunno, this sure sounds like they’re not all that hot. Sure, it might be better than walking across the desert, but one does wonder how the original design would have fared:

Pretty sure a bunch of them got torn to shreds by simple IEDs and Soviet-era RPGs in Iraq War II, no?

Persnickety, I don’t think we need to start any rumors. Trump HAS dementia. Period.

The Pentagon Wars is a fantastic movie.

Oh, believe me, if you read between the lines, he wanted that. In the statement he notes that the roads can’t handle the tanks, so they’ll be parked. Which is absolutely not something he knew, so that means he asked for it and someone told him the tanks would demolish the roads and they couldn’t do it.

“The roads have a tendency to not like carrying heavy tanks” - Holy shit, he’s repeating something someone told him, isn’t he? Like, he threw a tantrum when he insisted on having them drive up and down the mall or something, and someone dumbed it down for him. 

My high school Spanish teacher used to tell us a story about working translating documents and how important context is. For the life of him he couldn’t figure out what a label (or whatever) meant when it said “frozen sailors” in Spanish. It had been translated twice, and he finally went back to the English version he…

You’re correct. I get tired of trying to explain this to people, but the amount of data we spew into the ether every moment of every day is staggering. And the amount of data analysis these platforms can perform is terrifying. People should be way more freaked about the above than clinging to this weird theory that…

If you want to get down to it, I believe the correct grammar would be “expelled sputum.”

I hate to victim blame here, but if ever anyone was “asking for it....”

Nah, he doesn’t deserve the same treatment as Jefferson. Don’t put his face or name on anything.

This fucking says it all, and I wish I could so succinctly and clearly state my objection with this phenomenal garbage. BTW, anybody who ‘sat it out’ or voted third party in ‘protest’ FUCK YOU. No, let me say that again... FUCK. YOU.

You know what? Nathan Fielder 2020. I’m not entirely sure he hasn’t been orchestrating this extended shitshow all along, but I would not at all be surprised at this point.

We wouldn’t have electricity without Ben Franklin because of all the time he spent hanging out with Tesla.
