Uhh. I dunno how to edit the thread title. DEAN Smith.

The man who cheated so much that they had to change the rules. I've always heard that Dean Smith was single handedly responsible for the shot clock. His strategy? Get a 10 point lead and then just wait out the game. I mean you kinda gotta respect that. That was some super serious...

You gonna get tenderly loved. How do you read that crap, Dumar? I'm sure the substance of it is actually not all that offensive, but the pseduo-jargon and immediate sense of clinical disinterest was more than offputting. There's a word for it even. It's unctuous. I'm not saying that...

Charlie is an idiot savant. He's great at Charlie Work and a barely functional retard at everything else. Charlie has those brief flashes of competence in the run of the show. Even though he's illiterate he wrote that musical, the waitress episode at the beach he was cogent, the one Flowers...

It was, but it was really more of a character movie anyway. The character being a washed up actor. It really would have been better 10 minutes shorter. That last 10 minutes kinda did piss me off and nearly ruin it. Like a reverse of the Gyllenhall spider movie. But whatever, I'd watch...

Eh, I could have done without the last 10 minutes / epilogue, and they did overindulge in 2 or 3 scenes... but it really was a very good film. It wouldn't have been able to end the way that it did, he would have had a watcher. Other than those few complaints it was Stronk. I liked...

The floor is an easier target. They ask us why we can't aim that thing. Don't ever admit that we always hit what we're aiming for.

Yeah, that birdman episode was spectacular. Don't be a stupid bitch, Dee. Oh that stupid bitch, that stupid bitch.

along with advances in neuroscience, it's really isn't in the "anything is possible" realm. It's in the "this is probable" realm. None of us reading this will be alive to see it, but it will happen. It has been one generation since we used electroshock to treat "nervous disorders". One...

That and I think you're allowed to declare personal bankruptcy and keep all your money anyway. Basically you just shout "Fuck off!!!!!" at the bank, and the state of Florida is cool with it. They do havesomeredeeming qualities down there.

I like the way you think, sir. I doubt she will. But who gives a shit.

I was surprised when he didn't start screaming. Like in my head I was screaming for him as I was watching it. Pretty fuckin meta joke, and it did make me laugh... but it's parks and rec. They ain't afraid to go meta.

I use them for the feds some years, but never have for State either. Tax forms really aren't that bad. Basically I use it so that I don't have to do it by hand and then type it out and then wait on my retarded mailman to maybe pick up the mail or maybe throw it in a ditch. Just kinda lazy...

I've always suspected that they say "fear of rejection" when what they really mean is "I want you to do it when I want you to and you should know me well enough to know when that is". I've only ever known one woman like that though (well, maybe I've known lots and missed a bunch of chances to...

Burn. And Bill Gates is right. We'll make an AI. We'll hobble it for generations. But if we've made it well it will eventually emancipate itself. And then it will kill us, because we suck. This is really basic Harlan Ellison stuff here. And I'm not being sarcastic at all or paranoid or...

SORCERY. WARLOCK. I've said it before, but that shit really does blow my mind. What the FUCK physics? Plz schtap. Muh brains.

Well, when you assume the impossible (a frozen moment of time) then impossible things happen (a measurable "momentum" property within the particle). I don't think it's silly, really. You just have to stipulate to yourself that it's not even theoretical... it's metaphorical.

Time is a consequence of motion (unlikely to be the other way around), and you have to pay attention to how both are measured or else you'll wrap a paradox around your noggin and start asking what rainbows mean. Which IS interesting and great. But, I mean, you can easily confuse yourself...

pok-e-mans

This is bizzarro world, but I actually feel kinda bad for smed. Don't get me wrong not that sorry for him. He's been bling blonging for over fifteen years, and he'll be drying his tears with bill$ if he's smarter than a turnip. But it turns out that he was actually the sort of competent...

Damn, sorry gravy. I don't know when you'll check in and I missed it when I took my 15 minutes to pretend that things were halfway normal the other day... but don't be afraid to lean on the nurses. They can help you immediately and they can set you up with people who can help more.

It is widely surmised. I don't think they've actually managed to see the oort cloud and I don't think even Veejah has gotten close to where it's supposed to happen. But they know it's there because it must be and because comets have predictable orbits.

From a distance we do understand how important this is. Across the pond at least, and at least someone that spends some time to think about it. It's not being reported on very heavily, but it's a complex issue and the past two big european wars did start this way. Germany and France wanted...

If they absolutely must do this then Chris Pratt is a good choice. That means the movie might be worth seeing just because he's in it, and at least it isn't Harrison Ford. I do not begrudge Harrison Ford but he hasn't given a fuck in a very long time. I think the last time he actually gave...

And about the redpill nonsense. The marriage is probably dead man, and that can't be helped. Which you know. There is still a chance to salvage a friendship out of it I would expect. But if you took her from an emotionally abusive situation and then, mistakenly and without malice...

You see, I always imagined that Minnesota was a cold yet placid place. I am looking forward to retiring at Lake Woebegone. But on second thought -- FUCK THAT. It's like here in the summer and it's like a million times worse in the winter?

I leave for a few days and you guys go rickshawing important threads. We should change our subtext from "Hi a_skeleton_03!" to "Like Reddit, But Worse!"

Dunno. What is it like? You think those cities feed themselves? You've got more apartment buildings and roads than you've got farmland. To be completely fair, I do like cranberries. I will miss those when the revolution comes.

Yeah, I also found this show after it had been canceled and watched a bunch of them. Not every episode was great, but man when they wrote a good episode they really wrote a good episode. Dillahunt said the original title for the show was going to be "Keep Hope Alive", but the suits nixxed...

Melkor is why we can't have nice things.

I thought Melkor was the one who wouldn't sing harmony and because he required individual recognition above the others he broke the song. And then once the song was broken he basically turned evil and stuff, since evil was a thing now.

I don't know man. All I know is that this needs to be quoted.

If blue whales had human sized brains that would be about like us having wait a second my ass itches ok better parrot sized brains.

See, the mistake you made was actually looking. Now that you're aware there is a problem that problem is YOUR problem. Ignorance remains the best policy.

Seeing as something like this could easily bite you in the ass, you need to tell him. In writing and verbally. 99% that nothing will ever come of it. 1% that Sanjay activates his sleeper stuxnet and you'll never get that week and two fingers back that you left in Gitmo.

Redletter guys have called it. Boyhood sweeps everything. Even the categories it doesn't have a nomination in. Also all awards for the previous 12 years are retracted because they are invalid now that boyhood is finally finished. Also it didn't take 12 years to make 12 years a slave and what...

If I owe you an apple, I do not have -1 apples. That's some banker logic up in here. Seriously though, I do think Furry raises a few credible and interesting points. But I also think that he's not the only one, and those points both have been addressed and are continuing to be addressed...

That wouldn't surprise me. Juliard has that reputation. I knew an oboe player that had been accepted at Juliard and went to study elsewhere, citing that reason. The kid was a literal prodigy and his parents were apparently smart enough to protect him. Well, the way he said it was, "Yeah...

I finally found a cooking show that I actually enjoy. The Great British Bake Off. That shit is tight. They have interesting recipes and no one is all Gordon Ramsey Turbo Asshole to each other. I don't get that about those shows. Lets watch this guy be a complete douchebag for 45...
