- In no hurry paying a premium for 4K, and that curved monitor business is an overhyped rip. -- nm - budice Sep 23, 16:36 3
  - Look at all the content there isn't! -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 16:44
  - I agree with curve. When you're ready to shop for a new HD screen it will be 4k if not 8k. -- nm - Remlik Sep 23, 16:38 1
    - If people really need a screen, 40in LED can be had for $200, 50in for $300, 60in for $500 -- nm - budice Sep 23, 16:41

- "oh that's right, that's where glenn greenwald went." that's kind of a hybrid of rush limbaugh and max keiser. -- nm - b. Sep 23, 15:59
- Although this one is pretty great -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 23, 15:16 1
  - and I definitely chuckled at this one (since the teacher's strike is over, this is the first week of school & enforcement of school zones is up) -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 23, 15:26
OK, this is a little bit funny. Cnet's review of the $600 Blendtec Designer 725. The think breaks apart with use. - Mop Sep 23, 14:59 [youtube]

Ha! The form I have to file in duplicate doesn't even say in the instructions to file in duplicate. It's only on the website to do so. - spamlet Sep 23, 14:25 7
- And all this because apparently whomever processes forms for the Secretary of State gets confused if you follow the instructions on the form. - spamlet Sep 23, 14:36
- *Level 37 Bureaucrat* -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 14:27 5
  - I'm totally stealing this. -- nm - spamlet, Level 37 Bureaucrat Sep 23, 14:56
  - The form has to be signed in black ink as well. No blue. - spamlet Sep 23, 14:34 2

  - "fine here's 10 more forms to fill out" -- nm - budice Sep 23, 14:28
To be clear, spamlet was talking about the mobile free version of Spotify. The desktop version you can listen to anything, any time, even albums. - JaxSean Sep 23, 14:21 11
- ah, thanks for the explanation. - b. Sep 23, 15:46
- You are correct. I can't use the desktop version at work so I don't use that at all. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 14:25 9
  - I just quit spotify. my guess is that I will last seventy days. any other bettors want in on this action? -- nm - vice president peggy ann Sep 23, 14:28 2
    - I can never quit Spotify. - groiny Sep 23, 14:40 1
      - This. Love how easy it is to create a playlist -- nm - amoxy Sep 23, 14:49
  - The mobile free version sucks balls. - JaxSean Sep 23, 14:27 5
    - Why? - kelly Sep 23, 14:32 4
      - I guess comparatively to the desktop version. If you want to listen to a specific album or song, you can't. - JaxSean Sep 23, 14:44 3
        
        Ah, okay. I only use it for kiddie music, and the playlist I put together is pretty much only one artist, so I don't mind the shuffle. - kelly Sep 23, 14:47 1
        
        Yes, I have a playlist that I've created (All Time List, that has like 10+ hours of songs I like) and that shuffle is OK. - JaxSean Sep 23, 14:55
        
        This was my biggest problem with the free mobile. I often listen to Spotify in my car as well as running so I use the mobile frequently -- nm - JD Sep 23, 14:47
grrrrrr, some f#$%& mo fo stole the few tomatoes we had growing in the front ...and just threw them - zeitgeist Sep 23, 14:15 7
- Bunch of savages in this town. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 16:12
- what i should do is plant 'evergreen' or German green, tomatoes that ripen to a bright green color - zeitgeist Sep 23, 15:21
- Damn kids! Sorry, that sucks. -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 14:26
- I'm getting more and more tempted to put webcams on the front of my house just becuase. - JaxSean Sep 23, 14:24 2
  - Take a webcam to the football game. If Jacksonville scores points you can sell the video for millions -- nm - Bacon Sep 23, 14:29
  - drone! -- nm - budice Sep 23, 14:24
- :( such a waste - vine ripe tomatoes are the shizz nit -- nm - Epiphany Sep 23, 14:20
Spirit Airlines Email: "You'll Love M.O.A.S.S." - budice Sep 23, 14:12 1
- That airline is the biggest joke there is. Oh, you want wings on that plane? There is a fee for that -- nm - Bacon Sep 23, 14:16
I have to say, the recent surge of talks about feminism and how women are represented everywhere actually made me think about myself and realize some - Guigue Sep 23, 14:09 29
- Part of feminism is to get people to change on a personal level, because small changes become big changes when you add more and more. -- nm - tobor.2 Sep 23, 18:28
- It seems like so much more work to be discriminatory. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 14:23 5
  - But people who choose to discriminate seem to be so much lazier. "Why should *I* have to change?" etc -- nm - Roger More Sep 23, 14:34 4
    - it takes mental energy to classify someone and think about how you're going to react to them based on that. - Reagen Sep 23, 14:36 3
      - Not really. It's called a kneejerk reaction because it's instinctive, and it takes effort to overcome instinct. -- nm - Roger More Sep 23, 15:25
      - [deleted]
      - I think it takes almost no effort to do this and react. In fact, I think it's easier which is why it gets done. - Mel Profit Sep 23, 14:40
- I really dislike what "feminist" has become in the everyday. it's all "I want all the same things dudes do" and "buy me dinner." - vice president peggy ann Sep 23, 14:19 15
  - [deleted]
  - in the main, I view it as not allowing traditional gender roles to dictate what someone can and cannot do. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 14:25 12
    - but it's so much more than that. "equal pay for equal work" but "you always have to buy when we go out"? no. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Sep 23, 14:27 11
      - I think both sides have privledges they're not willing to give up easily. - Reagen Sep 23, 14:35 10
        
        What are the dude privileges? -- nm - Max Sep 23, 14:49 9
        
        nmbl -- (link) - mara Sep 23, 16:33 3
        
        oh, I was thinking in terms of interpersonal relationships. Women get free dinner, guy gets to hold the tv remote etc. Not societal privileges. -- nm - Max Sep 23, 17:36 2
        
        That's the thing: female privileges tend to be courtesys, male priviliges tend to have dollar values or power imbalances attached. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 18:02
        
        ::types, deletes, types, deletes:: - b. Sep 23, 18:01
        
        the default to basically every position of power, for a start -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 16:28
        
        Dudes get a society made by dudes for dudes. -- nm - Roger More Sep 23, 15:22 3
        
        So it's like, if chicks are nice to me, I get to bring them stuff? -- nm - Max Sep 23, 15:25 2
        
        But chicks have to be nice to you, so they're even worse off than you are. -- nm - Roger More Sep 23, 15:49
        
        right. that's exactly it. - b. Sep 23, 15:34
  - "She's wearing a skirt, we're gonna score!" -- nm - dudes in State College Sep 23, 14:22
- I agree. - Spawn Sep 23, 14:10 5
  - you are so bad - Epiphany Sep 23, 14:16 4
    - You need your heels silly. - Spawn Sep 23, 14:25 3
      - aka "Fuck Me Pumps" right? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 23, 14:41
      - just got a Van Halen earworm -- nm - Epiphany Sep 23, 14:31 1
        
        Yeah, that's it, a little more to the right, a little more... -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 14:35
Ugh: A second fence has been erected in front of the normal White House fence. Not happy. -- nm - MDH Sep 23, 14:04 20
- Why no moat? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 23, 14:41 1
  - oooh. they could get piranhas! -- nm - mafic Sep 23, 17:45
- and it probably cost about 20 million dollars to do. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 23, 14:39
- You know what would really stop the threat? A *third* fence. -- nm - Big Fence Corporation Sep 23, 14:25 3
  - obvs the dude was hired by Big Fence to jump the fence. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Sep 23, 14:29 1
    - *hires lobbyist to deny these accusations and donates money to sponsor Picket Fence Border Act* -- nm - Big Fence Corporation Sep 23, 14:46
  - Made of bullets. -- nm - NRA Sep 23, 14:28
- Someone send in Snake Plissken to rescue the President -- nm - budice Sep 23, 14:16
- So MDH jumped the fences and yelled at the White House, "Hey! What gives you the right?!" -- nm - Narrator Sep 23, 14:07
- this reminds me of Doonesbury in 1973 & 4 when Trudeau drew different barriers out front of the WH -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 23, 14:07 2
  - Steve McQueen could jump the fences -- nm - amoxy Sep 23, 14:12 1
    - or he could use one of the 3 tunnels underneath the fence to escape -- nm - Squadron leader Bartlett Sep 23, 14:15
- My question is why was the door unlocked and an agent with a big effing gun not posted inside of it? That would seem to fix the issue. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 14:05 7
  - The reason given is that people use that door all the time - though haven't they heard of swipe cards? -- nm - Roger More Sep 23, 14:24 1
    - Apparently my building is more secure than the White House. -- nm - spamlet, Level 37 Bureaucrat Sep 23, 15:08
  - How about a big effing agent holding a little bitty gun? That would be so amusing I would stop up short. -- nm - Max Sep 23, 14:09 4
    - "It's called the Noisy Cricket." -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 14:16
    - And his partner would be Mel sized with a bazooka. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 14:10 2
      - "Who run Obamatown?" -- nm - Max Sep 23, 14:11 1
        
        "2 Men Enter, One Man Leaves" -- nm - budice Sep 23, 14:13
