It's also total nonsense, what does the y-axis actually mean? According to that chart there have been about 40 rocket launches total. Um.....no.

Arguing which side has moral superiority in this conflict is thouroughly pointless. Regardless of which side "wins" that comparison, you're still basically comparing syphilis to AIDS. The leaders of both sides are guilty of countless war crimes and there's no punishment you could ever impose...

Not forever, but the current limit is something like 90 years and Disney buys another extension from Congress every time Mickey Mouse is about to enter the public domain.

While I'm well aware I'm fulfilling my own prophecy here, I'm talking about the MRAs that use gender stereotypes as an excuse to call for a return to traditional (read: 19th century) Christian conservative values. Men are stereotyped as shallow, short-sighted sociopaths whoseonlymotivation for...

I'm wondering how long its going to be until someone posts the full MRA philosophy, namely taking Dumar's points to their logical extreme and concluding that the proper functioning of society is dependent on women being property with no rights.

I'm currently being bombarded by way over the top sarcasm by the fat chicks at work. "Why don't you ever eat those pies anymore you always used to bring in for lunch?" "They were like 1400 calories each, I gained like 5 pounds doing that and only now managed to get rid of it." "Oh that...

I really like how people here are basically saying thatthisis actually 100% the gospel truth.

People who lie about grandparents dying to get paid time off work.

Don't you get it? God will do that for us if we suck up to him a lot. He's doijg it from behind the scenes now! How do you think we managed to create 7 billion humans and multiple advanced civilizations in only 6000 years of existence?

I had to Google this to have the faintest clue as to what you were talking about.

Some of the quotes on that page are fantastic. How do you even have these views and still manage to function day to day without cognitive dissonance driving you insane?

Comcast requires you to use their modem if you want phone service from them as well, so there is that.

Social security isn't anywhere near the problem medicare is. Fun fact: It now costs an average of $1.25 million to provide health care for someone from age 65 to 87. (the life expectancy at 65.) That's a liability of about a half trillion just for the people retiring this year.

Well, I of course chose the standard in one of the most conservative areas. I don't think that's a stretch, because honor killings in the Muslim world are also generally confined to very conservative areas. The vast majority of honor killings occur in rural villages where the country's court...

Well, you posted the relevant part of the law, so I'll post the relevant part of the criminal mischief statute. This is where I got the $50 figure from. I hate to break this to you, but driving off without paying for gas qualifies under "causes pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience." The...

Where do you guys get this shit? I'm not talking about castle doctrine. You don't need to be in your home. You don't need to have your life or health threatened. You don't need to fear for your life. It is perfectly legal to waste someone who bails on paying the check or tries to drive off...

Would someone mind explaining this? http://aboutthinprivilege.tumblr.com/ I don't even know what's going on here, I haven't been this confused/perplexed at an Internet page since I first saw Timecube.

No, I'm pointing out that this type of thing is easily explained by cultural differences and doesn't automatically mean the Muslims are some kind of backwards heathens. In both cases, you're only minorly inconvenienced by the other party's action and in both cases it's OK to kill them for it...

Zimmerman wasacquitted.Thus, his killing was legal. The other fallout has nothing to do with the legal system. Even in Muslim countries, honor killings mostly occur in the backwards rural areas and the relatively more progressive city populations also look down upon them. Also, honor killings...

Personally, I think this is a defense mechanism to avoid facing the truth. Because, you know, if women are consistently choosing men who beat them over you, what does that say about you?

You missed the entire point. Yes, the Israeli Arabs have all those rightsnow.However, they had to wait almost 20 years (1948-1968) of being treated almost as outright slaves before they began to receive these rights. The fact is, if the "loyal" Arabs that never engaged in violence and stuck...

Unfortunately, while it's relatively easy to work on being a doormat, not being boring is far harder.

That's definitely an interior wall. If it's water damage coming from something on the roof I might be able to get my homeowner's association to fix it, they're responsible for stuff on the outside. Going to be interesting to see if they agree with that assessment or try to weasel out of it.

I got up as close to it as possible to try and get better pictures. This is the corner: This is about halfway across the wall where it's stopped peeling:

The Palestinians could have peace if they wanted it, yes. However, they would still be second-class citizens with no rights, no citizenship, and a livelihood totally dependent on the whims of the Israeli state. Remember, the Israeli Arabs that remained in Israel instead of leaving during the...

I'm wondering if anyone has ever dealt with this before: The wallpaper on the ceiling in my kitchen is starting to peel away where the ceiling meets the wall. Is there anything I can do to stick it back down/prevent the problem from getting worse or am I going to have to replace the...

There are people at my work who are like this. Obviously not that fat, but still morbidly obese with a laundry list of problems that just don't change. We're talking late-30s, but have already had a heart attack, type 2 diabetes, fucked up knees, bariatric surgery, and in constant pain 24/7...

You can do this in DAoC too, probably because it has the same/similar engine. Jumping up the giant steps in Darkness Falls and slaughtering all the buffbots parked up there was always entertaining.

Honestly, I really want to know what goes through the minds of late teens/early-20s women that go out with men twice their age. Do they actually believe they have a shot at being this guy's exclusive girlfriend/wife? How do they rationalize this? Do they not have friends that call them out on...

To be honest, I don't know how anyone used that old analog tech that didnt have software controls without daily catastrophes. You know, the kind where if you tell it to drain Well A through Tube #2, it will do it even if Well A is under pressure and Tube #2 isn't actually hooked up to anything...

Where the hell do you get $35/month car insurance? I have a credit score of 780 and no tickets or accidents on my record, and I still pay $130/month for car insurance.

It's a lot harder to make a fake rape accusation if you never had sex with the guy.

I've never, ever known anyone that switched from an hourly position to a salaried position at the same company and didn't take a massive per-hour pay cut. Usually along the lines of getting a 20% raise, but then going from 40 to 60 hour weeks. I guess you have to go to salary at some point if...

I just kind of assumed that since she refused to go after Jaime at the end of AFFC despite knowing LSH would likely kill her, and then right after LSH really did appear to kill her, that this was the way she got Brienne to suddenly do an about face and collect Jaime in the next book.

I must not be remembering one of the chapters then. All I remember from the last book was that after Jaime gets the letter from Cersei and burns it, Brienne suddenly shows up and asks Jaime to come with her alone, and then we never hear about them again for the rest of the book.

It's been awhile since I read Feast for Crows, but didn't Clegane get brought back as undead by either LSH or the Lord of Light priest that's still with her? (I forget his name) In Dance with Dragons we see Brienne show up in one chapter and gets Jaime to follow her without any explanation. Did...

...what?

Honestly, burger & fries places shouldn't have waiters to begin with. Just do what Boston Market and Panera Bread do.

The tipping system functions as a way to circumvent laws about protected classes when it comes to hiring. When was the last time you had a black server at an upscale restaurant like Flemings? Why do you think the wait staff at even casual dining places like Outback are 90% young, attractive...

Of course. I have no idea what shit the previous owner might have been into. Yeah, they were probably just undercover cops, private investigators, or unscrupulous debt collectors, but what if they're from some kind of organized crime that thinks the guy is still hiding out here? These guys were...
