  1. Im the same way. Anxiety building on the drive in, full on gripping the armrests of the dentist chair before they even say "open wide". But honestly it is totally painless and they are straight up wizards in their capabilities nowadays. Go on, git!
  2. I agree 100% that people will seize upon this opportunity to sue everyone and anything. We could have ruled the world! Its tragic. This made me wonder where people have to slum it and go to their plan B school when they dont get into Yale. Princeton! Oh the humanity.
  3. The man getting man-er discussions do nothing for me. I guess cutting line, while distasteful, doesnt effect me on the same level as it does others. And Im cool with that.
  4. Are CB's still a thing? Do you have one? If yes, yhats your handle?
  5. I view this as a fantastically more expensive version of getting in the back door of the club because you know (or paid) the bouncer, instead of waiting in line with the rest. Yes, it stinks for whoever was at the bottom of the list and got bumped. And the government is great at stacking charges, but it just doesn't make my ragemeter flicker. Especially if they actually graduated under their own merits, whatever the institutional flaws everyone has access to.
  6. I assumed they were mod teams but I could be wrong.
  7. Fermilab, international partners break ground on new state-of-the-art particle accelerator.
  8. So these kids didnt even have to pass the classes themselves?
  9. Im having such a hard time understanding the mass bowel evacuation over the college "scandal" that I feel like I must have missed some important facts. This is how I understand it: 1) A bunch of rich parent circumvented the normal acceptance procedure by pouring money into it. Far more than any other normal student would pay. 2) The kids got help on the entrance SAT but still needed to pass or fail the classes on their own abilities. 3) Some number of "deserving" entrants got screwed out of a spot in that particular year, causing pigs across the country to squeal. Is that about right? This is the kind of thing the FBI goes in with guns drawn, no doubt in anticipation of these parents going out guns blazing? I wish I had an Infinity Stone that gave me the power to punch people in the face from anywhere on Earth.
  10. I dont know why, but whenever I see a picture of Ramzan Kadyrov it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
  11. I hear they did en excellent job making a 70yo SLJ look like a 40-something Nick Fury, true?
  12. The top one looks like the Neverwinter Nights logo, what did it mean in the PoE franchise? EDIT: I now notice Boeroer says they are the gods symbols.
  13. Lol, I had to look up "shipping characters". *sigh* Im getting so old....
  14. A patch of Sawyers face and the logo of all the games hes had a hand in? Thats pretty cool.
  15. I dont think the sky is falling for NYG. They went 31-49 since drafting him in 2014, so besides the occasional eye popping catches, he wasnt a game changer.
  16. Every business who ever did anything for their own best interests agree!
  17. Browns agree to trade for Giants WR Odell Beckham. Wow!
  18. Those type videos hits me right in the visceral. I could watch pom-pom guns firing all day. I don't know if its true but Ive read the only way in and out of the belly turrets was from the outside, and they didn't wear parachutes in there, so in the event of landing gear damage that guy was in for a bad landing.
  19. I get it, SAT's were altered too, I just cant imagine it was worth the millions of dollars spent to investigate and prosecute this terrible "crime". Its like what...30 or so kids over the course of four (?) years? Who cares? It wasn't even "minority quotas" they took, right? I dunno, I thought the old joke of "I bought the school a new wing to their library so my kid could get in" was basically quid pro quo.
  20. College Admissions Scandal: Actresses, Business Leaders and Other Wealthy Parents Charged. Isnt "buying your way into college" the worst kept secret since secrets were invented? Thank god these 10's of people will be brought to justice for greasing their kids wheels. And goddammit, Im fed up with athletes scamming the system and getting a free ride based on nothing more than profound physical abilities. NOT FAIR! *stomps foot*
  21. Ah, so thats where Katphood's avatar comes from.
  22. I know right! But it has a terrible rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
  23. You fool! Havent you learned by now that "ism's" and "ist's" only work in one direction...from white male to everyone else on the planet. I was a little disappoint that nobody poo-pooed my movie example so I could ask them if they were a racist.
  24. I like Pluto Nash and have watched it several times. Come at me!
