What Obama didn't say about criminal justice reform was just as important as what he did say. -- (link) - spamlet Jul 17, 09:56 6
- Doesn't the statement on "increases in violent and property crimes" fly in the face of FBI statistics on crime in America? -- nm - Mop Jul 17, 10:01 5
  - They seem to be talking about 'over the last four decades' which would not contradict FBI - ty97 Jul 17, 10:04 4
    - Freaking "lies, damn lies, and statistics". That's like saying "Terrorists have killed HUNDREDS of Americans on U.S. soil since 2001!" -- nm - Mop Jul 17, 10:06 2
      - Not if that's when longer prison sentences came into being as well. - spamlet Jul 17, 10:10 1

friday hax chat q: her 11 year old kid wants to ride his bike home from summer school. panic ensues - slipping jimmy Jul 17, 09:40 11
- He would freak at the things I was doing much younger than that -- nm - zork Jul 17, 10:06 2
  - This. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 17, 10:15
  - I started going to school by myself in kindergarten -- nm - zork Jul 17, 10:07
- Really, she doesn't give the freaking distance? (Also, since when do 11-year-olds have summer school?) -- nm - Ender Jul 17, 09:52 3
  - A lot of kids take extracurricular classes during the summer now. -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 10:01 2
    - and some school's go year round, right? -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 10:02 1
      - The ones around here stopped but that could be the case as well. Usually they still had a longish summer break. -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 10:07
- ... and 5 years from now hubby will be complaining because he thinks his son isn't maturing or handling responsibility like he should be. -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 09:48
- [deleted] 2
  - butt wiping is an issue around here. Kids have a hard time doing things by feel. That being said, they all wipe their own asses -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 09:53
  - "wanting" is the wrong word for that kind of anxiety. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 09:42

- I think Blank Space is one of the better pop songs of the past 10+ years. Bad Blood is *horrible* though. - JaxSean Jul 17, 09:56
- I'm waiting for the bad news. -- nm - Mop Jul 17, 09:50
- yep, you are the crazy one -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 09:49
- this has happened to me as well, slowly but surely. That bitch wins. -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 09:47 2
  - Here's you two right now. -- (link) - Shaun Jul 17, 09:49 [youtube] 1
    - pretty much. *puts on my tutu and tights* -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 10:00
- I have several of her songs in my playlist -- nm - Bacon Jul 17, 09:46
- "If Drake and Taylor Swift ever dated, they would be writing albums about each other." -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:39
- Well all gays love pop music, so this shouldn't be news to you. -- nm - Shaun Jul 17, 09:37
- I have always liked her. - groiny Jul 17, 09:36 34

        Poor Jake./ -- nm - Shaun Jul 17, 09:53
      - what is fake about her, exactly? -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 09:46 4
        
        I like her but I think her image is very very finely crafted. -- nm - Bacon Jul 17, 09:47 2
        
        which can be said about a large % of singers. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 09:54 1
        
        Her image is as finely crafted as say...maybe a Robin Thicke - Bacon Jul 17, 09:55
        
        See my post below. -- nm - pmb Jul 17, 09:47
    - She's amazing at Information Security, too. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 17, 09:39
    - her love life, her songs (always about breakups) -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 09:39
    - She's mostly slagged for her entire catalog being based on her failed relationships. -- (edited) - Shaun Jul 17, 09:38 22
      - [deleted] 17
        
        The difference here is that it's not just songs about break-ups, etc., it's about specific people and it's pretty widely known who each song is about. - pmb Jul 17, 09:46 14
        
        can't you say the same about Pink? -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 09:51 11
        
        Has Pink written about more than one person (that we know who they are?) I know there are songs about her husband, that's it. -- (edited) - Andie Jul 17, 09:54 9
        
        she pretty much did a whole album about him being an ass IIRC. - groiny Jul 17, 09:55 8
        
        So did Marvin Gaye, and it was awesome! -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 10:05
        
        I love her too, but she's married and still married. Yes, writing about personal stuff is fine and it's not hard to draw the lines of what is about - pmb Jul 17, 09:59 6
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Not at all what I meant. The married part was just reflecting the fact that of course we know who that is about since she's with the same guy. It's - pmb Jul 17, 10:35
        
        And I should add, it makes her seem vindictive and a hot mess as well. -- nm - pmb Jul 17, 10:00 3
        
        for sure, but keep in mind, she is very young still. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 10:02 2
        
        It doesn't really bother me that much and frankly I think she's growing out of it. I think she's proven to be an impressive businesswoman. - pmb Jul 17, 10:05
        
        she has a billion producers and managers etc who could temper that, but it sells, so they don't. -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 10:02
        
        Pink gets huge props for never lip synching. -- nm - Shaun Jul 17, 09:54
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Regarding the writing of the albums, there is a combination of information that backs it up. First they are credited to her along with Max Martin and - pmb Jul 17, 09:56
        
        Ha ha, I had a discussion with Coolio the other day about whether those sort of songs were how guys felt in real life. (I said, of course!) -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 09:44
        
        On a serious note, her stuff is pretty good overall, even if it's all about the same shit. -- nm* - Shaun Jul 17, 09:40
      - And her real estate purchases. -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 09:39 3
        
        See my IM. -- nm - Shaun Jul 17, 09:40 2
        
        examples were needed! -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 09:42 1
        
        Indeed! -- nm - Shaun Jul 17, 09:43
- ugh -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 09:36
Ant-man mild spoiler there is a scene during the credits and a scene AFTER all the credits. -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 09:33

I love most foods, but the two I really dislike most people love - amoxy Jul 17, 09:32 7
- marshmallows roasted on an open fire are awesome. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 09:36 3
  - Survey, do you burn them? There is always that one person that likes to set them on fire and then eat them. -- nm - Bacon Jul 17, 09:53 1
    - nope, lightly brown on the outside. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 09:54
  - I can do roasted marshmallows, that is good. The plain ones? - amoxy Jul 17, 09:52
- The first one is a crime. The second one I agree. - Bacon Jul 17, 09:33 2
  - I think "marshmallows in hot chocolate" is my favourite form. Smores are too sticky and gooey. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 09:35 1
    - See I hate hot chocolate. Always have -- nm - Bacon Jul 17, 09:45
Chappie: C The Kingsman: A The Forger: B -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 09:29 2
- Kingsman was a great surprise. I really liked it -- nm - Bacon Jul 17, 09:29 1
  - yeah, it reminded me of Kung Fu Hustle in a way. Really nicely done -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 09:34
Anyone watching, or have read, Zoo? -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 09:27 6
- My dad and I are watching zoo. Not bad, so far. I'm certainly looking at all our animals a little bit differently now... - IrishStephen Jul 17, 09:32 3
  - I read the book, the show is shit compared to the book. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 09:35 2
    - Is it? We're actually interested in picking up the book now. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 17, 09:41 1
      - I liked it. I watched the first episode and decided I was done with it. - groiny Jul 17, 09:44
- How did the Syfy channel miss out on that one? -- nm - Bacon Jul 17, 09:28
- we're watching it. so far so good -- nm - oblique Jul 17, 09:28
LYC: I finished the Arkham Knight story last night. That was quite a way to end it. Lovely. -- nm - Shaun Jul 17, 09:25 2
- Indeed. I assume you mean the final end (14/14). Correct? -- nm* - Spawn Jul 17, 09:25 1
  - Incorrect. spoils I guess - Shaun Jul 17, 09:31
Robyn lively!! Guys! Seriously? -- nm - Amanda Jul 17, 09:19 2
- Umm, not named "Robin". -- nm - Ender Jul 17, 09:50

My parents were supposed to have their final walkthrough at 5pm last night. -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 17, 09:16 8
- yikes. -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 09:28
- effing sellers. -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 09:26 6
  - new build. - ty97 Jul 17, 09:32 5
    - When my parents' lawyer called the saleswoman to say the work hadn't been completed, she responded - ty97 Jul 17, 09:44 3
      - "So am I, in the lawsuit I am preparing." -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 10:01
      - smh -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 09:55
      - yeah, my response would have been "well, someone has to be." -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 09:49
    - effing builders. -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 09:41
Daniel Radcliffe has fallen on hard times. -- (link) - LMS Jul 17, 09:15 6
- Ok, this is a stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway - Strongbad Jul 17, 09:30 5
  - why wouldn't he? plenty of famous actors don't have to work, they obviously want to. - Andie Jul 17, 10:13
  - he likes it and is talented -- nm - Beaker Jul 17, 10:09
  - He's not going to retire for good at 25. -- nm - David Jul 17, 09:39
  - He lives to work, not works to live. -- nm - LMS Jul 17, 09:38
  - He an artist, mang. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 17, 09:31
my local googleplex theater is showing the Usual Suspects next week. Is it some kind of anniversary screening or something? -- nm - Mop Jul 17, 09:14 3
- Some theaters just do summer serieses of old movies... -- nm - Ender Jul 17, 09:19
- If only they made something on the interwebs where you could ask these types of questions. nm -- (edited) - Jim Jul 17, 09:16 1
  - Slackertalk -- nm - Bacon Jul 17, 09:16
I love onions on pizza. -- nm - Bacon Jul 17, 09:14 11
- The only good onion is a ring. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 09:20
- I do too, but I'm also with Krusty on whether they belong on NY pizza. -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 09:19 4
  - I also like that Krusty's nick has less and less to do with the Simpsons these days -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:24 3
    - That said, I'm going out for New York style pizza for lunch. Styles include kale and bacon! -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 09:32 1
      - There is a "Grimaldi's" franchise near my work which intrigues me. But it looks way yuppified (typical for the area) so I've stayed away for now - con_carne Jul 17, 09:37
    - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 09:27
- I was about to say, you should stay away from all onion related threads - con_carne Jul 17, 09:19
- Yuck. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 17, 09:17
- aw shucks, who doesnt -- nm - mud Jul 17, 09:15 2
