    May be an image of text that says 'work at a credit card company. Someone replied to our offer by taping the "no postage necessary" flyer to a box full of their trash and a small boulder. BUSINESSREPLY.MAI BUSINESS REPLY REPLYMAL MALS LULLMAMILLJI'

    I made it my New Year's resolution one year to send back every single postage paid postcard or envelope that I received via unsolicited marketing efforts (never with my own information, of course.) 

    Some envelopes contained boogers, belly button lint, and/or pubes; others contained crude notes, some were empty, and many contained fragments/shreddings of each other's return materials. 

    It was gratifying in a delightfully petty way for a while, and then it eventually got pretty tedious. I think that I made it to around October before abandoning the project.

    We ate there yesterday for lunch while waiting out a thunderstorm. The dawg slammed. 

    We were talking to our hotel bartender our first night in town, and he said the locals really don’t eat hot dogs all that much, implying that the Chicago dog is more a tourist thing these days.

    Your bartender is dumb.

    I know you’re not disagreeing with me, but what’s the point of taking your own picture of a historic moment which has blanket media coverage?  It’ll be a crappy photo and you won’t see the moment with your own eyes.
     

    You’ll see it through a screen, the same as if you were sitting at home. And there will be thousands of professional photos of the moment that will be infinitely better than your phone shot. 

    The smoothbrains who need a photo need it to post and gloat about on social media.

    Look at the differences in these crowd shots. Put the phone away. Enjoy the moment.

    I don't disagree with your general point, but Jordan's shot was a game- (and championship) winning shot from one of the best games of all time, and LeBron's was just a routine jumper that happened to break the all-time scoring record. 

    I'm sure plenty of shitheads would have had their phones out if such a thing was possible in 1998, but the circumstances of each picture are quite different.

    My wife flies a lot for work and has TSA precheck, I fly about 2-3 times a year at max and don't.

    We went to NOLA back in January and I smoked her through the check in line.

    NOLA gonna NOLA, of course, but if a person wanted to frustrate Precheck users to the point of inducing them to additionally pay up for Clear, they would probably come up with a setup pretty similar to the Precheck lanes at MSY. 

  6. Can someone please remind me whether there's some kind of "hive mind" or shared consciousness/awareness among the infected? If so, do we know how it works, or any other (non-spoiler) details? 

    Or do they all just respond to stimuli in consist and predictable ways?

    “The 19 year old girl is not as attractive as her teenage video game character” has to land in the top 5 of incel/dweeb crossover posts on Surly. Well done

    It's really even worse than that, given that same character was a child in the previous season. 

    I never understood Gamergate at the time, but I'm starting to get it now. 

    Fucking weirdos.

    My daughter saw a red MX-5 this weekend and said she wanted one when she started driving.

    As a dad who drove the hell out of a first-gen MX-5, I'm totally stoked that she wants a fun car.

     

    I'm going to tell her the only way she gets one is if she learns how to drive a stick, which ain't happening because she's completely uncoordinated.

    Buy her the automatic if you don't trust your ability to teach her a manual transmission.
