Yep, I tried Frontier once and it was a nightmare. There was like a 2 hour wait to get tickets, they had like 3 ticket agents serving approximately 10 billion people, and the terminal looked like a hurricane evacuation spot with people sprawled all over.

The funny thing about the musicians who tend to blast the recording industry is that most of them were made very, very wealthy by the recording industry. Which kind of undercuts their point. And you’re right about all the work that goes into making music, and which most starting musicians couldn’t do themselves.

It probably isn’t the biggest suspension of disbelief (Abby is apparently an expert in EVERY branch of forensic science). Actually it would be cool if she turned out to be a cold-blooded spy who was using her position to steal secrets.

I actually never understood that character; why allow a foreign intelligence operative that kind of access? Never was really a fan of the show, but my father is in his late 70’s so he’s always watching it when I visit.

In the olden times it was assumed that God would help the just side, but nowadays I think we’d all recognize it would be the same as flipping a coin; it doesn’t matter if you are right if you get the weaker fighter. Not sure why it wasn’t banned; it might have just gotten to the point where it was considered barbaric…

Actually I believe in the US judges actually have more wiggle room than in civil law countries like France or Germany, where everything is spelled out in detail.

Also, the women who choose to hang around the back stage trying to get him in bed could be a sample that skews towards a “meal ticket” philosophy.

“all of whom are entitled, demanding, course, selfish fuckwits that cannot punch themselves out of a wet brown paper bag”

Nowadays? It’s always been like that. Actually it used to be worse because they didn’t maintain the subway nearly as well as they do now.

“All I could think when I read those numbers was WHAT. THE. FUCK. Spain is the 31^st richestcountry in the world, with an estimated GDP of $33 billion in 2014. I was so surprised to learn that a developed country like Spain had only just begun to take steps to protect its girls from forced marriage before the age of…

They’re also letting them bake the boys cookie and do the team laundry.

“Limit your nanny’s showering privileges to once a fortnight.”

Yeah, that’s what you did. And bite me.

VGA was photorealistic to me, after a childhood of suffering CGA.

I remember Noctropolis! It was kind of a weird mashup of film noir/supernatural/superhero, right?

And you can argue that you speak collectively for an entire people. Free internet and all.

“Does it turn out that the successful/famous middle-aged male business owner has sex with the 23-year-old females on his staff?”

Well, I considered it a cult classic rather than a classic. You asserted that to Black people it was not a cult classic, but rather a regular classic. Why is it so improbable that I would find other people who have referred to it as a cult classic? Doesn’t that make sense?

I think you all are more used to the annoying crowds.
