They will revisit once he has actually been found guilty. If they do it now, it sets a dangerous precedent.

I feel like maybe I'm being a bit thick here, but there's no way for people to go to... news sites?

I think this is really spot on. I wasn't looking for a "reddit alternative" that "kinda sucks" because it's not reddit. I was looking for an actual "reddit alternative," not a reddit clone. And yes, I've just been lurking up until now, but so far this seems so much more sane and reasonable. For the time being, at least. Until someone finds a way to turn it into a reddit alternative.

I would be interested in knowing what crimes they are. Whaddya got?

Yeah, it's more of a "data exists, kind of."

I was late for a flight once (in Canada) and they put a sticker on my luggage that said Retard. Just means late in French. You better believe I kept that sticker.

That guy looks like he'd been waiting for that moment ever since he learned how to do it and just needed to try it on someone much smaller than him so that he could actually pull it off. What a cunt.

Conan was talking about this, either on his podcast or at the end of that last Norm special on Netflix. Apparently, he was booked for two segments, but thought he was only there for one, so he just improved this whole thing to fill in the time. Such a brilliant mind. What a huge loss.

Oh, this is such a shit thread to have this conversation, but nevertheless...

I played Firewatch for a while a couple of years ago and LOVED it. Didn't finish, not sure what happened but I just never got back to it. I think I've forgotten enough of it now that I can go back and start again and have a fresh experience. I've recommended this game to a few people and everyone has loved it. Some excellent twists and turns and fun little bits of mystery. Great writing!

This is really well said, and would have been my pick, as well. I was not yet 10 when this album came out and only ever listened to it after hearing Combat Rock, which is an absolutely groundbreaking record in its own right (side 2 of Combat Rock defies any attempts at pigeonholing it in a genre - it's masterful).

But once I'd heard their earlier albums and then London Calling, my though whenever I listen to this album is, "how the fuck did that happen???" It's hard to say whether it happened because of, or despite Guy Stevens (the producer), but one thing is clear: he pushed them to do things that they might never have done without him wandering about the studio throwing ladders around or whateverfuck he was up to during recording.

Lost in the Supermarket was written just as the consumerism began to hit the shelves, if you'll allow the shitty pun, and could just as easily have been written today. Absolutely timeless, spot-on, chillingly accurate portrayal of the beginning of the end as we decided we needed stuff more than we needed community.

Great pick, and really wonderful explanation.

•AA benefitted white women more than all other groups COMBINED—plaintiffs never complained about that
•43% of white Harvard students are legacy or athlete students, of which 75% would not be admitted otherwise—plaintiffs never complained about that
•Asians are 6% of the population & 26% of Harvard admissions—plaintiffs never complained about that

I'm slowly getting ready for a wedding I don't want to go to and having a little break and you gave me a good out-loud guffaw, buddy. Thanks for the larf

Medium fat, fries, pickle, Cott's black cherry soda. The best meal I've ever had.

I was in Mallorca a few months ago and got a bunch of really amazing regular smoked and smoked sweet paprika to make paella with. Thought I'd try something a little different and found a paella pan I could use on the bbq at the kitchen supply store down the street. I used blood sausage, green chorizo, chicken thighs, and shrimp at the end. A few cherry wood chips while I was getting the rice to soak up the stock, and then when I put the shrimp on for the last 15 minutes, I put a handful of dry chips on and went to town with the smoke. Absolutely fucking amazing. You're all invited for the next round.

You don't want to sound like music that has one sound or line of melody being played by multiple instruments at the same time?

Maybe Facebook got so big and their search is so good that people just stopped using Google search for it, but I have a hard time believing that can be responsible for a drop of this magnitude.

I would say you're probably right. Remember this old gem?

I'm going to see them for the first time in just a few weeks. Expecting to have my face melted off and very much looking forward to it.

I had this album on vinyl, some kind of special edition blue and orange version. It sounded absolutely awful. I was able to sell it for about $80 tho so I guess it's something that people want.

Finally some actual food porn. Looks delicious, mate.

"Slowly getting used to it." Brilliant

I've been getting emails with the subject line, "Your expertise is requested," from LinkedIn for several years now. They definitely know how to pander to their audience!
