having my baby, what a lovely way to say I love you -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 13:49
Really, though, what we're talking about is human nature... - znufrii Sep 19, 13:48 6
- Which is important to keep in mind if they say why, why? That way you can tell them that it's human nature. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Sep 19, 13:51
- So, you understand the equal enthusiasm for keeping *both* to a minimum, correct? -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 19, 13:50
- Two attempts at dragging to a 4th board and failing should be enough. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Sep 19, 13:50 1
  - no dragging intended. - znufrii Sep 19, 13:52
- I think the amount siphoned by corporations is more damaging than that of the welfare bums, obviously. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:49 1
  - (It's obvious that I think that, not necessarily obvious that it's true. But it's probably true.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:50
Teenage lesbian crime spree interrupted by lion -- (link) - amoxy Sep 19, 13:43 10
- This headline writer can retire and consider their career a success. - David, Archer fan Sep 19, 13:54
- Gotta go with the lesbian angle, or else it's just crime. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Sep 19, 13:52
- Love how they discount the foreign currency :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 19, 13:48
- Is the part where they're lesbians just a writer's embellishment? I missed that part. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Sep 19, 13:48 3
  - everybody knows women don't do crime unless there's a man forcing them -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 13:54
  - They were outed by the police if I read it right. -- nm - Qale Sep 19, 13:49 1
    - I gotta stop skipping the first paragraph. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Sep 19, 13:50

  - Nazi's and dinosaurs! -- nm - colin Sep 19, 13:48
Looks like the other shoe is about to drop on Netflix on Friday. -- (link) - Mop (195 lbs) Sep 19, 13:42 10
- Blockbuster is much better run these days but I still think Amazon is the most likely winner in the streaming video fight, long term. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 19, 13:49 2
  - I have a hard time seeing how unless they get their pricing down to Redbox or $1.99 levels across the board. Plus, their content management is awful - oblique Sep 19, 13:51 1
    - I mean the free streaming currently done with Prime. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 19, 13:52
- could Netflix have screwed up the whole DVD/STreaming thing anymore than they have? -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 13:44 6
  - You'd think at least from a brand management standpoint it would be "Netflix DVD" or something boring but applicable - oblique Sep 19, 13:47 5
    - What they have done here ties the DVD by mail business off so that it's easier to kill down the line. - David, Archer fan Sep 19, 13:51
    - They can call it Purple Monkey Dishwasher for all I care, it the split queues that's the killer. -- nm - Ender Sep 19, 13:50 3
      - I switched to Blockbuster last month and felt good about it. Today, I feel great about it. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 19, 13:53
      - They've always had split queues, but yes, the split *sites* is ridiculous -- nm - oblique Sep 19, 13:51 1
        
        Well, technically the queues are split, but if you add a streaming item to your DVD queue it automatically goes into the other one too. -- nm - Ender Sep 19, 14:32

- In other news, ty97 figured Mariano broke this record three years ago. (Good for him, btw) -- nm - ty97 Sep 19, 13:42
Not the Onion: Is Nicholas Cage a vampire? -- (link) - MDH Sep 19, 13:40 2
- -14 Qale Points for linking us to OMG! -- nm - Qale Sep 19, 13:41 1
  - Oh I know, but come on, this story is too good to pass up. -- nm - MDH Sep 19, 13:42
Bery! How does ST determine when it does not mark any new posts with they grey color? - oblique Sep 19, 13:40 1
- timestamp of the last page load compared to the current one. If it exceeds a certain timeframe (30 to 60 minutes), it just forgets the whole thing - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:41
Speaking of Fall TV, I'm actually thinking of checking out The Playboy Club tonigt. And Pan Am whenever it starts. -- nm - ty97 Sep 19, 13:36 8
- Playboy conflicts with Castle & 50. I am doing the 10 am taping on Bravo sunday am. -- nm - peglegpete Sep 19, 13:47
- I'm giving them both a chance (along with a bunch of other shows) but probably will give most of them up. -- nm - MDH Sep 19, 13:39 1
  - When I turned on my TV to watch college football Saturday, the channel was on MTV. - ty97 Sep 19, 13:44
- i think i might check out The Playboy Club. - Andie - V-5 days Sep 19, 13:38 4
  - I'm going to watch it because I think it will be good and NBC will cancel it -- nm - crash davis Sep 19, 13:39 3
    - well, they're going to cancel it at least -- nm - moles Sep 19, 13:40 2
      - I think the murder mystery angle of it might be compelling, and I'm counting on NBC cancelling it before it gets resolved. -- nm - crash davis Sep 19, 13:41 1
        
        take ken levine's (writer on MASH, Cheers, Frasier) review for what it's worth -- (link) - moles Sep 19, 13:43

    - thanks damned curious -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 13:41
You know, I don't completely disagree with Capstern. Working for Medicaid it amazes me how many times I hear people say they want their Medicaid - sycor Sep 19, 13:35 14
- you realize that when we joke on here about requiring a parental aptitude test, it's precisely that, a joke, right? - znufrii Sep 19, 13:40 1
  - but a joke with some truth, right? right? - sycor Sep 19, 13:41

  - I don't think it should be stopped. Reformed, yes. -- nm - sycor Sep 19, 13:39
  - single point of data alert: My brother says the vast majority of his Medicaid patients are poor children. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 13:38 1
    - I have zero problems with giving kids Medicaid. I sort of have a problem with giving it to adults just because they have kids though. - sycor Sep 19, 13:40
- it would be a lot easier on all of us if they just had the decency to die -- nm - moles Sep 19, 13:36 2
  - Time to give out some free blankets, yo! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:37 1
    - "Literally every person gets a free pitchfork." -- nm - TFox Sep 19, 13:38
- Is the system perfect? no. Is it designed in a way that it encourages dependency? sometimes. should it be reformed? probably - znufrii Sep 19, 13:36
- ok, your last sentence is ... wow. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 13:35 2
  - Yeah, the coversation went like this: -- nm - sycor Sep 19, 13:36 1

  - i actively disliked the show. and i'm watching to see what they do. one episode, and i'll be good. -- nm - Andie Sep 19, 13:44
- Nah, show's never appealed to me and Hobo Ashton isn't going to make me care. -- nm - ty97 Sep 19, 13:35 1
  - normally I wouldn't but since most of st will, might as well join in the communal "om" -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 13:42

I have a modest proposal. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 13:26 29

  - This would be very nice, I think we could all get on board the Easy Availability Train. - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:32 3

  - you can lead a horse to water... -- nm - colin Sep 19, 13:32 7
    - Not the point. It's about making it easier for those who want it, not trying to force anything. -- nm - mara Sep 19, 13:35 5
      - I've long felt this way. I never want to have one girl/woman say she got pregnant because she didn't have access to birth control. - b. Sep 19, 13:43

- at a bare minimum, welfare recipients should have to be humiliated on a show like Fear Factor before getting cheques. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:26 12
  - Hitler used to put the last jews on a flat bed truck to parade around the town before delivery to the camps -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 13:33 1
    - Can we close it now? -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Sep 19, 13:34
  - I accept this suggestion because you're just being honest. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 19, 13:30
  - Let's compromise: if they want babies, they should be forced to have sex with rich men at the official "Welfare Impregnation Center". - TFox Sep 19, 13:29 3
    - As long as none of them are redheads. -- nm - mara Sep 19, 13:30 2
      - Luckily, very few of them are rich due to their latent inferiority. -- nm - TFox Sep 19, 13:32 1

  - Also: people who use the work cheques should be chemically castrated. -- nm - Fantysy Island Sep 19, 13:28 1
    - word, dammit. Typoists should also be suitably punished! heh -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:30
  - (I think Joe Rogan is even available to host, and might do it for free. Or for welfare cheques.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 13:27
words of love soft & tender won't win a girl's heart anymore -- nm - peglegpete Sep 19, 13:26
