Motherfucker overplayed his hand. I admit it, I totally bought this shtick the 1st year. He got me hook, line, and sinker. But come on. Year two has gone off the rails. "I have the biggest nuclear button" and "I'm, like, really smart." Trump is a Kaufman-esque covert comedian. I can't even imagine that level of commitment. Frankly, he's a testament to the indomitable nature of the human spirit.

Duckworth isn't great. She's all for "compromising" with republicans on privatized infrastructure and "appropriate" tax cuts. She essentially embodies that grand bargain affliction that Obama suffered from.

I'm up for this promotion that would put me on night shift permanently, but give me 4-10s and a 15k promotion. I'm thinking of turning it down because it's non union. Being a union member is the best.

I think a lifetime of being shat upon by corporate master has instilled an openness to unions among millennials. Though there is that unreachable group of older folks. For some reason voting for Ronald Reagan led to a lifetime of doing whatever it takes to rationalize that decision.

It's not discrimination if someone takes action against you because of the content of your character or the value of your ideas. Those are the things everyone should be judged on. Somehow that doesn't connect for the "persecuted" conservative.

Three Billboards was a bad movie populated by cartoon characters slightly redeemed by a back 1/4 with a bit of planing and nuance that was wholly absent in the rest of the film. It's a shame, I really loved Cavalry.

Devilman Crybaby was cool when it was mindless violence but the back half seems to be attempting to say something about how it's actually not cool to be prejudiced against murderous monsters. That's dumb. Anyway, shoutout to all my Redwall peeps in the thread. Martin died for our sins.

You can rationalize anything but joining the DEA is about as bad as joining ICE.

Mel Mudkiper posted:the DEA at least superficially enforces a social good So does ICE. There is a theoretical rendering of the agency that works to prevent terrorism, protect border towns from the higher crime rates that are often found there, and gently enforces trade laws. Instead GWB decided we need a bunch of the dumbest mother fuckers in America armed to the teeth to fend of the Mexican scourge.

I have a big fat 0$ in student loans. Thankfully my wife went to grad school in New York so if public service loan forgiveness gets nurfed in the ways we all expect we'll never be debt free. There's pretty much no element of the plague upon millennials that I haven't gotten to experience first hand.

Shangri-Law School posted:I met Morgan Spurlock in an airport once, which was cool, but then he turned out to be a sexual harasser, which was not cool. I also once heckled David Brooks, the weasel. I used to consider David Brooks an idiot but essentially the thoughtful opposition that would exist in a better democracy. Then for about a year NPR played a clip of a Diane Rhem interview with Brooks as an ad for her show in which he criticizes a football player celebrating a defensive stop by comparing him to Bob Hope expressing his gratitude for the end of World War 2. I no longer have any positive thoughts about David Brooks.

Feeling awful about how we as a nation treated Tanya was somewhat explicitly the point of the film. Still found the whole story totally hilarious. Allison Janney is great. Her performance here is just under her magnum opus of Drop Dead Gorgeous.

^^^ Ya'll are also wrong. SHOAH NUFF posted:A few people at work were arguing over what generation is what, and who a millennial is, and someone asked what the generation prior to the Baby Boomers was called. I leaned forward and said "the greatest generation" and now everyone is laughing at me for being an idiot, but I think that's the right answer and the rest of my coworkers are the idiots Sorry buddy, it's the Silent Generation then the Greatest.

Leperflesh posted:They're the same. Silent Generation isn't in as common use I don't think, but they're both referring to the people born in the 1920s: those are the people who were serving in the armed forces or working in the factories in the mid 1940s. Nah friend. The Silent generation are those born after 1925(?) while the greatest are those born between 25-14 or something like that. Basically the silent generation is composed of all those too young to serve in WWII but too old to have been born to those who did. E: It's all made up nonsense but if we're going to adhere to the made up nonsense the Silent Generation is a thing. The Puppy Bowl fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Jan 16, 2018 |

The greatest generation birthed the Baby boomers but the Silent generation falls between the two on a chronological timeline. Why are we talking about this again?

Made a Tater Tot Lasagna last night. Turned out alright but I went overly conservative in terms of spicing the sauce. It was good, still I don't think I'm going to turn it into a staple recipe. They're better dishes out there to conqueror.

DOG CHAT!!! - My dog refuses to drink water except from this bowl we keep outside. I think it's tricking him into believing it's rain water. - He howls whenever my phone rings and once it's stopped ringing he goes into this 30 second cooldown period of grunts and coos. - When he feels as though it's been too long since his last walk this dog begins to dance and sing to garner our attention. - He requires pets and when he does not receive pets he takes his paw, throws it on your shoulder and squeezes to show how pets are supposed to go. - Whenever he eats something particularly delicious he gets this head tremor that creeps me right the hell out.

^^^ That looks good. I can't imagine a reason to drink to drink Budweiser or Miller. If you just want to get drunk we have natty light, busch and all the other water beers. If you want something cheap to sip on there's yuengling, blue moon, etc. The only people I know who drink bud have doing so since they're were 14 and have zero interest in expanding their horizons in any area of life. IPAs are overdone but can be good. I'm liking the turn towards sours the market has taken. (If you're in Portland check out Great Notion) It's still hard to find good red ales which is probably my fave. @my snob rear end all you want #bougielife
