Well, The Beatles could have used a kazoo for the solo on "Let It Be" and still had a hit, but it wouldn't have made the song better. The reality is that bosses aren't supposed to bomb employees with water bottles. Regardless, it was unnecessary. Tom effectively emasculated Greg with his play-acting when he bought into Greg's blackmail/not blackmail ploy over kept documents.
I just don't like how this show swings between serious and ludicrous. It's like the dork who's afraid to go all in and ask the cute girl out, so he self-sabotages throughout the act.

I'm not liking the ridiculous forays into the absurd . . . the boars, the water bottles, etc. It's not a comedy.

Why would Apple get an exemption? It's not like Tim Apple is Trump's daughter.

Oh damn, I forgot about the dustup over Alexis/spying/etc. Yeah, sorry I asked, that was gross enough the first time.

I don't even know what that exchange means. If somebody would care to explain, or perhaps it would be more hilarious to keep hurling innuendo about like snowballs.

That research into the predispositions related to mass shootings should be an area of focus in terms of public health research.
I have no problem with that, as long as the research is not funded by nor tied to special interest groups. I suspect that's tougher than it sounds. It feels like a lot of studies go searching for evidence to support a conclusion, but you know far more about that than I.

Lots of warning signs. Trying to understand these indicators, would of course be "chilling".

Smax gets his talking points straight from Rush, Sean, Buck et al and he buys them hook line and sinker.
Today's multi-millionaire gamer merely joined the club formerly exclusionary to yesterday's high-dollar actor or musician or athlete. They are essentially a blip on the radar, but LIBRULS! I'd rather have a rich gamer in my family than a rich corporate whore who fully intends to rape the electorate while acting concerned.
At least Smax is consistent. Consistently ignorant.

November 9, 2016: S&P 500 opened at $2,131.56
August 30, 2019: S&P 500 closed at $2,926.46
This means the market up is 37.2% since the election, not 50%. (Not that 37.2% isn't good, it's just another example of Trump telling lies.)

The "good guy with a gun" theory isn't grounded in truth, either. Experienced military and law enforcement personnel will tell you that the ability to function in a deadly firefight is only possible with rigorous and repeated training. Earl Wayne Holt can strap up all he wants, but when a honest-to-God bad guy with a gun starts shooting up the Walmart with great malice, Earl is unlikely to be very effective at all.

Ha. We've been taking Luby's frozen mac 'n cheese to every family potluck dinner for years now. Cook it, put it it in a different bowl, claim it's yours. It kicks ass.

I'm not a fan of Death Cab For Cutie, but I think this is a pretty song.
It's a fantastic song. Good call. I admire DCFC because the music has a consistent, unique twist. It's something about the way Ben Gibbard writes melodies.

That won't do shit. Draw the line at weapon X and someone will eventually use weapon X to kill 25 people. Then everyone will scream draw the line at weapon Y and possession of any weapon beyond Y is a felony. Then someone will use weapon Y to kill 24 people. Then everyone will scream draw the line at weapon Z and possession of any weapon beyond Z is a felony. Then someone will use weapon Z to kill 23 people. Then everyone will scream draw the line at weapon AA and possession of any weapon beyond AA is a felony. Then someone will use weapon AA and kill 22 people. And so on and so on. Eventually you will be drawing the line at Derringers and .410 shotguns. You will keep on sawing off the very end of the tree limb but since you are not changing the mind of the people that do this they will keep on finding ways to do it and eventually you won't have anything left of the limb to saw off. How did that war on drugs go? How well did prohibition work?
If only there were an example we could turn to in order to determine if you're right or if I'm right? Gosh, I'm stumped. Oh well, happy death day!

No. Legislation can change society. Society used be abundant with cigarette smokers. Doctors told pregnant women to smoke. It wasn't a problem 40-50 years ago, and then we found out they were bad. So restricted them, taxed them, made it generally harder to purchase while government paid for commercials ran to inform the populace of the ills of smoking. How prevalent is cigarette smoking now?
Government actions changed society. Stop regurgitating bull shit.
It's really simple. Draw the line at weapon X, and possession of any weapon beyond X is a felony. If we catch you with said weapon, you spend 10 years in prison. We don't care if you're a standup dad, a HS teacher, an accountant, a farmer, what the fuck ever. You own a weapon on the list and we find out about it, you're going to prison. Do not pass go, do not collect shit.

And yes, I am now inching towards support of a full gun ban. Way to go, assholes. You did this to yourselves. Fuck you.

You can pass any law you can think of. None of them will stop this. This isn't a problem that legislatures solve. This is a problem society solves. We had less strict gun control laws forty and fifty years ago and this wasn't happening. Something has happened with our evolution as a species since then.
You are quite literally one of the stupidest motherfuckers I have ever encountered. Decorum and a desire to avoid a vacation prohibits me from telling you what I would sincerely hope you could accomplish in the near future, but hey, I'm sure you can imagine.

The report says that Comey is a liar and a leaker. Blogger guy defends him on the grounds we already knew that for a while.
It's not surprising that the point of that essay went completely over your head. Did you get into Notre Dame on some sort of "let's give the morons access to rapey priests" plan or what? The next good post you make around here will be your first. Go somewhere else.

Surly kids applying / attending UT
in Daily Texan

So . . . can anyone shed some light on the cost difference between UT-Austin and UT-Dallas? I've been building a spreadsheet with dozens of schools for my daughter and it suddenly dawned on me that UT-Dallas was more expensive than the flagship institution. That makes no sense to me, so I dug in, and yep, this chart (which admittedly is a few years old) seems to confirm.
This is just tuition and fees, and has nothing to do with the cost of housing, etc.
