- Didn't you see the whole recolored MoS stuff on ST? That is what Snyder has done. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 15:29 1
  - Yes. I also saw that that was exagerrated by the video company that created it. But, yeah, Snyder is averse to primary colors. Also saw a promo for - TWuG Jul 20, 15:31

- WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?! - ML Jul 20, 14:17 16
  - You"re Fired!! -- nm - Bacon Jul 20, 14:54
  - Just think, 35% of the nation is GOP. Of that, 24% think he's the best candidate. - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:51 10
    - I think it's more "I know that name so I'll say him". -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 14:54 9
      - I think it's because people are so tired of their lives not improving, having elected politicians at local, state, and national level... - Loyola Jul 20, 15:19 6
        
        Those people are stupid. -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 15:23 5
        
        Elaborating: If they give so little thought to the act of voting, they derve to have shitty government. -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 15:24 4
        
        I think they believe they already have shitty government. No matter who is in power. - Loyola Jul 20, 15:32 3
        
        I have no idea how to answer your IM. Everything I've seen from Republican voters and elected officials indicate they wouldn't give Obama credit for - TWuG Jul 20, 15:37 2
        
        I work from the basis that all political parties, and all politicians are inherently full of shit and will say anything to get elected. - Loyola Jul 20, 15:48 1
        
        Then you are the reason we get shit representatives. You suck as a voter. -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 15:50
      - I think it's more than that, but not a lot more. I think there is a segment that likes that he says (as you said) what they're thinking or that he's - pmb Jul 20, 14:58
      - maybe some of that, maybe more saying it as a joke or "at least he's not a regular politician" or other similar reasons. - b. Jul 20, 14:56
  - Of course it means nothing, but I'm with Ty in that it's still fairly stunning to me that this clown is getting support. - pmb Jul 20, 14:21 3
    - I'm going to amend my statement to mean it matters just slightly this year only because of how the debates will work. - ty97 Jul 20, 14:23 2
      - To wit: Trump is pulling support from Cruz who is now in jeopardy of not getting on stage at the debate. - ty97 Jul 20, 14:24 1
        
        which is so incredibly ironic - ML Jul 20, 14:41
- Here's the results of the WP Poll from July 2011 - spamlet Jul 20, 14:15 4
  - Absolutely agree, I don't lend credence to early polls beyond the "seriously? how is this even possible" reaction -- (link) - ty97 Jul 20, 14:16 3
    - znurfii just got a tingly feeling and doesn't know why. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 14:21 2
      - znu thinks Trump is a GOP establishment sleeper agent, IIRC -- nm - ML Jul 20, 14:32 1
        
        It's not the craziest thing he's ever said. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:49
- I think Trump wins for being the most insecure human being I've ever seen. The way he reacts to any criticism is just stunning to watch. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 14:12
- trump to self: my g-d, what the heck else do I need to do to get those freaking numbers to drop?!?! -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:08 13
  - Honestly if it weren't for the fact that he would do irreparable harm to the country (and maybe even the world), it would be pretty entertaining to - pmb Jul 20, 14:14 12
    - He'd quit a few month in when he realized he only gets 400k a year, and Mexico is laughing at him; and Generals are refusing his orders to shoot the -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:56 2
      - But wouldn't the press conference when he unveils the plans for his impenetrable wall be fantastic? -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 15:00 1
        
        "I'm making it out of the same material my hair piece is made out of. Most inpenetrable material in the world." -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 15:06
    - This tweet along those lines made me chuckle. -- (link) - mara Jul 20, 14:24 3
      - Yeah. I could genuinely see his first state of the union where he announces he wants to change the name of Washington DC to Trump. - pmb Jul 20, 14:34 2
        
        WASHINGTON DC IS NOW NEW TRUMP -- nm - Tim Jul 20, 14:35 1
        
        on this other hand, Trump is why Berke came back - ML Jul 20, 14:38
    - right, if it weren't for *that* ("entertaining" isn't what I'd call it, though.) -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:20 1
      - It would be like watching a train wreck. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 14:22
    - I'd actually go with 25% of the population who sees Trump and says "Finally, someone who says what we're all thinking!" -- nm - Tim Jul 20, 14:16 2
      - I don't even know if it's always "says what we're thinking" or just "says what's on his mind without worrying about political correctness". -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 14:18
      - Yep that's was what I was going to say - eag Jul 20, 14:17
Ant-Man winds up at $57.2 million, which gives it a $50.8 million weekend without sneaks. -- nm - David Jul 20, 13:53 4
- fell under what I thought. But this will have some nice legs to it -- nm - Remlik Jul 20, 14:00 3
  - My instinct is no. -- nm - David Jul 20, 14:21 2
    - Then again you think the movie is some kind of mind illusion being played on us. -- nm - eag Jul 20, 14:36 1
      - Sure but this is more about consumer behavior. The film didn't demonstrate good in-weekend hold for a family film. -- nm - David Jul 20, 15:02
Twins are reportedly in on Tulo - ML Jul 20, 13:49 15
- Tulo is into twins. -- nm - Mop Jul 20, 16:33
- Hey, we've got a shortstop for you. No? How about a DH/1B? SP? LF? Manager? - spamlet Jul 20, 14:12 10
  - Micah Johnson hitting .314 in AAA, Sanchez under .200 in MLB. -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 14:14 3
    - Micah couldn't hit nor field earlier this year. Sanchez can at least field. - spamlet Jul 20, 14:16 2
      - Anderson is the SS in the tube, I think Micah is the 2B of the future - groiny Jul 20, 14:17 1
        
        I'm not convinced Anderson stays there. 34 Es in 81 games last year and 17 so far this year. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 14:23
  - really, Abreu should be available as well, since he is not exactly young. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 14:14 5
    - I don't disagree but I see a snowball's chance of that happening. - spamlet Jul 20, 14:17 4
      - you see the problem with drafting pitching every first round now? - groiny Jul 20, 14:19 3
        
        Thing is though, you can never have too much pitching and hitting is a lot easier to procure. - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:47 2
        
        it speaks more to the organization not being able to develop hitters. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 14:51 1
        
        thinking about it, the last hitter who was good that the Sox brought up was Magglio Ordonez. - groiny Jul 20, 15:04
- riiiiight.... -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 14:01 2
  - I ain't counting on it, but it's a sea change in ownership thinking if it's true they're even discussing him. - ML Jul 20, 14:04 1
    - great player, but his injury history makes him a nightmare waiting to happen. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 14:05
David, I was kind of joking, but those first couple looked really bad. The other move you showed looks less dangerous to me only because the distance - pmb Jul 20, 13:48 2
- Japanese wrestlers are notoriously disciplined and well trained, so they can attempt more dangerous moves like that. - David Jul 20, 13:51 1
  - He's broken 2 guys necks with it becuase it's exactly the opposite of human nature. - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:44
Ethics question; you buy a car off a guy and later find about ten music cds that he forgot to take away. What do you do? - Loyola Jul 20, 13:39 38
- i give them back. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 13:49 1
  - (because i really don't want them.) -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 13:51
- give them back -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 13:44
- How quaint. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 13:42 18
  - I still have a handful in my car player. st poll: anyone else still have some? -- nm - b. Jul 20, 13:46 17
    - I burned one a couple weeks ago because I'm using the mazda for my commute. No BT, no USB. :( -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 14:17
    - absolutely. I have some burned mix cds for driving around town. -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 14:03 1
      - yep -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 14:12
    - 10 or so CD's - kids' music. -- nm* - kelly Jul 20, 13:58 2
      - *shudder* -- nm - ML Jul 20, 13:59 1
        
        Doesn't bother me at all. - kelly Jul 20, 14:04
    - yup. I have an indash cd player. and I miss having a cassette player in the car -- nm* - Peglegpete Jul 20, 13:58
    - There are some in my apartment, so yes. I haven't listened to one in many years. If this is only about cars then no. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 20, 13:56 2
      - I meant just cars. :) - -- nm - b. Jul 20, 13:59 1
        
        Damn elitist car owners. - Krusty Jul 20, 15:54
    - My car doesn't even have a cd player, so no. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 20, 13:55
    - I just bought a new one. I have a 6-disc deck in the car and use it all the time on long trips. -- nm - Meg Jul 20, 13:53
    - i think i have a couple, i mean, about 3/ -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 13:50
    - I bet there's a kids cd in mine but I really have no idea. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 13:49
    - I brought them specifically for my ride from the airport -- nm - jangles Jul 20, 13:48
    - Sure. -- nm - Loyola Jul 20, 13:47
    - sure, I burn a new one for most of our long drives and the start of the summer -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 13:47
- no question: you contact him and ask if he'd like them. -- nm - b. Jul 20, 13:41 11
  - Well why I haven't done it yet is that he might have sold me a dud car. So when I asked him; "Brian is there anything wrong with this car that is - Loyola Jul 20, 13:46 9
    - lol, that will help alot! -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 13:55
    - Holding the CD's hostage? If they are Certificate of Deposits in a large amount sure - amoxy Jul 20, 13:48
    - "If you don't fix my car, I won't throw away your garbage for you." -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 13:48 1
      - HA! -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 13:55
    - they are completely separate things. do the right thing, man. (and, also, you didn't have a mechanic give it a once-over pre-purchase?) -- nm - b. Jul 20, 13:48 4
      - Ok b. No b. -- nm - Loyola Jul 20, 14:00 3
        
        I like the submissiveness. ;p really, I'd suggest you consider still doing part 2. -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:04 2
        
        Sure if I get it checked over I might get bad news. I'm not doing that. But thanks :) -- nm - Loyola Jul 20, 14:08 1
        
        but it's bad news that the previous owner should address? -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:10
  - "Coldplay? really??" -- nm - jangles Jul 20, 13:42
- "Hey, your left some CDs in your car. What should I do with them?" -- nm - jangles Jul 20, 13:40 1
  - This. This is the correct answer -- nm - amoxy Jul 20, 13:46
- By CDs, you mean drugs, right? :) -- nm - oblique Jul 20, 13:40 1
  - The Coldplay CD has kind of a mellow high, while the Springsteen CD is more of an active high. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 13:41
Deep in her eyes, I think I see the future. -- nm - David Jul 20, 13:38
Satire that obvious should never have anyone fall for it - Reagen Jul 20, 13:37 3
