    I guess I've not paid attention before.....we turn around and have these elections again in 3 months?  We literally elected these people just so they can go campaign full-time for re-election on the taxpayer dime?

    Basically. And for those of us who live in their regions to have to deal with three more months of constant "hit you over the head with this shit non-fucking-stop" advertising. Believe me, I'm totally fucking thrilled...

    You seem to be to analytical what a snail is to sprinting.

    I had a racing snail. I took his shell off to make him more aerodynamic. It just made him sluggish.

  • Companies should be able to do what they want, especially if it involves the culling of asshole morons who encourage the stalking of families of shooting victims because they're "crisis actors" from actual society. On a side note, is there anyone on this site who pays actual serious attention to Jones? I could see CC (stupid), QO (blind partisan "he said what I think" rhetoric) or Belly (paranoid conspiracy theory fanboy)

    I've never seen and of the Godfather movies, and I feel pretty terrible about it. I haven't seen a Star Wars movies outside of the original trilogy.

    I'm working on starting a collection of mob/gangster films and, well, most of the ones I've either bought or am looking to get, I haven't seen completely (Good Fellas, Casino, Scarface, Usual Suspects and Departed being the exceptions to that). Like, I've been in a room while they were on and watched some of them (in a few cases), but never sat down to catch the whole thing. And the Godfathers are in that class. I can tell I'm getting older and more patient, since I finally have gotten to the point where I'm ready to sit down for a full 3-hour movie.

    Another big part of it is that I've always been a streaky movie watcher, where I'll binge on them for a while and then not watch any for months or years unless I'm at a friend's house and one is on.

    Ok, so those that don't comply potentially deserve prison time for just owning a thing. Especially those that can't just pack up and leave for whatever reason. 

    your scenario is so outrageous that you cant answer any of these hypotheticals.

  • Right now, very little other than one annoying coworker who feels the need to fill the office with mindless chatter constantly, because we all apparently need to hear about her drama and every fucking headline she sees on whatever news site she goes to.

    But a couple years ago, we had a meeting/connecting-loving supervisor. The sort of no-life dweeb who babbles constantly (horrible at organizing his thoughts to be remotely concise, so he just droned on and on and on), needs to keep in touch regularly and was far better at wasting peoples' time than they were. I'm used to just doing my job and not talking with managerial types unless either they or I had something important or new to discuss, so that was annoying as hell to deal with him. Especially since, on top of that, he was a corporate suck-up, so if you did have an important concern, you knew you'd just get a "Well, we all have to deal with it, so just keep doing it and it'll blow over soon."  response where you knew he'd babble at you about team stuff daily, but if you needed him, he'd be too spineless to actually stand up for you.

    I'm just reading the first book first, not waiting around for GRRM to finish the entire series. That might never happen, unfortunately.

    That is probably a good plan. The first book and the first season are where the show and books match up most accurately and as Martin expanded the world more and more in future books, the more things got changed to where (if you've read the five existing books and giveaway chapters that have been provided) entire subplots got chopped to keep the show running smoothly.

    The Gunslinger is a good book, but it's the weakest of the series, IMO. Luckily it is also the shortest, by far. The second book, The Drawing of the Three, is much better.

    It's basically a collection of five not-so-short stories that he might have written before he ever got the idea to make it into a series of novels. Or at least the name recognition to make that concept a reality. Which leads to it not having the same cohesiveness of the following books.

    the last few posts are unreal.  So the POTUS can commit felony drug use.  Got it.  But our current prez cant have sex with a whore/hooker/stripper 12 years ago?

     

     

    Are you this big of a bitch in real life?

    So you dont mind a president that smoked weed and snorted coke?  Gotcha.  Try not to ever take the moral high ground on anything.

    There's no moral issue surrounding someone taking drugs. Except to idiots, of course.

    That's another thing...who gives a shit about Earl Bruce?  He wasn't that great of a coach - a few big ten titles, 5-4 against Michigan, outside of 1st year never a contender nationally.  Slightly above average for OSU.

    I mean, Urban was an assistant under Bruce in his first collegiate job and considers him a personal mentor, which probably outweighs in his mind how he wasn't successful enough for fans, but yeah... Time for a good, long facepalm now...

  • I love how he's so insecure that anyone with any degree of success dissing him sends him to Twitter to cry. Damn, Donny, just because someone came up with a school that isn't a fraud AND doesn't want to talk to you ever doesn't mean we all need to see your tears!

    I would like to see this info from a source because it smells of victim blaming to me. But I would not be disappointed if it's true. I wish everyone would take a step back now, not jump to conclusions, and wait for the results of the investigation. 

    I think, to me, that if a drunk person (coach's wife or not) repeatedly came to practices to harass people, as said in that thing, something would have happened or came out long ago. In this day and age, I legit can't fathom how that could happen without something blown up. Coaches are notorious for hating anything they might consider a distraction and that seems like a far bigger distraction than a lot of stuff they refuse to tolerate around their programs. And as geeblock said, 911 deciding to stop taking her calls? Lol, that's a horrible breech of professionalism; I'd think if she was making a lot of frivolous calls to them, there'd be some sort of action taken, but not a "that number again? just don't pick it up." sort of thing.

    Belly with the fantastic Belly drop-in.

    And right after you were talking about how you aren't believing anything until the matter has been concluded, he jumps in with a pure "jump to conclusions" bit of over-the-top homerism.

    I just hope he stays in character for the entirety of his term. Council doesn't pass his agenda, here comes the bursts of fire and explosion sounds!
