  • There are people on the left who call minorities who take differing political stances than what they feel they should have "uncle tom's" in order to discredit them. Just like there are people on the right who act like a lot of the left-wing types speaking out against certain things are "crisis actors" getting that Soros money in order to discredit them. Just another of the million things where both sides are basically the same as far as being shitheels goes, but try to pretend those sorts of shenanigans are only prevalent on the other side.

    What's sad is that people don't realize it's a grift. No easier way to cash-in in America today than to be a hot girl that is pro-gun & owns the libz on social media. MAGA incels eat it up and libz take the bate every time. 

    Well, as least you have to give them credit for producing attractive women to spew their soundbites. Easier to look at than their left-wing publicity whoring clones like David Hogg.

    Candace Owens has even less credentials but I see her quoted in here a lot 

    Lol, so true. She's a minority, a woman and conservative, so she's become the blanket, go-to "SHE GETS IT!!!!" person for dipshits, even if all she does is regurgitate generic talking points.

    Trump is so smart and "hires the best people"....and is probably the only person on the planet that didn't see this coming with Omarossa.

    I have no idea what qualifications she had for anything related to White House stuff other than "was on his reality show". And that, I mean I can see a reality show president thinking that is an actual qualification, but in real life? From reading her Wikipedia page and reading between the lines, she seemed to be the show asshole on the various Apprentices who'd stick around for a good part of the running because she'd get that "villain/love to hate" reputation that's good for reality TV ratings, but then would get fired eventually for not being good enough to stick around regardless of whatever bump she provided.

    Ryan Hanigan should’ve gotten 1/2 of his contract...

    Speaking of Hanigan, I saw on mlbtraderumors that he got cut by the Giants while in AAA and, at about 38 years old, his streak of being in the bigs for his 12th or 13th straight year is probably over, considering he was batting about .150 in the minors.

    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...
