I truly hope this guy is okay, but what is a 96 year old with dementia doing driving? -- (link) - ty97 Feb 2, 14:19 3
- Over a certain age - they really need to do more frequent driving tests and do them later in the day when their dementia spikes and is more noticeable -- nm - JenBro Feb 2, 14:23
- Easy to spot, thanks to the turn signal. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 14:22

The new xfiles is such bullshit. It's like criminal minds. Only better. -- nm - Loyola Feb 2, 14:07 6

  - I saw the episode where spoils - Loyola Feb 2, 14:24 1
    - K, that's #2. Last night was #3. - Beryllium Feb 2, 14:29
- Loyola, are you taking your meds? -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 14:08 2
  - They make meds to swallow formulaic tripe? - Loyola Feb 2, 14:13 1
    - Well, I mean, the first episode, sure - but they wrote the formula. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 14:15
Hadn't heard of the Intercept before. That's gotta be a big blow to their reporting. Good on them for getting ahead of this mess. -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 14:02 5
- It's Glenn Greenwald's platform, isn't it? -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 14:03 4
  - The article right below the retraction this morning was about their internet journalism award from last weekend. - David Feb 2, 14:21
  - It is, indeed. Greenwald had a good article about the false narrative woven by Hillary supporters about "Bernie Bros". -- (link) - Mop Feb 2, 14:05 2
    - Hmmm that narrative sounds awfully familiar! -- nm - The Death Sceire Feb 2, 14:25
    - she's so mean! -- nm - mr. plow Feb 2, 14:06
our fire alarm is going off. no-one is moving. -- nm - Andie Feb 2, 13:59 4
- Last one out is going for the safe, so now it's just a waiting game. -- nm - Max Feb 2, 15:03

- this is why I had to quit. -- nm - Fire Marshal Deeve Feb 2, 14:19
- the raccoonapocalpyse has begun -- nm* - mr. plow Feb 2, 14:00
Rose finally admits she murdered Jack out in the ocean that night -- (link) - mr. plow Feb 2, 13:56 3

  - or his character in the Revenant -- nm - mr. plow Feb 2, 14:38
- Susan looks less than thrilled that she's being felt up there! LOLOLOLOL -- nm - JenBro Feb 2, 14:32
Seriously Ben Carson, please just stfu. Why you making me take Cruz's side? - Jovian Feb 2, 13:53 13
- I agree with Carson here. He didn't say he was quitting the race. In fact he said he was going for a change of clothes. Then Steve King tweets that - pmb Feb 2, 13:59 12
  - It's just reinforcing the idea he's in way over his head. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 2, 14:05 1
    - *takes a drink of water* -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 14:06
  - Hillary caught flack for claiming the win before it was known/official. Crappy of her? Maybe. - Spawn Feb 2, 14:01 9
    - Wasn't crappy of her. She didn't do it. She didn't address winning or losing at all. Just satisfaction with the results. Read her speech. She - pmb Feb 2, 14:03 8
      - I watched it. Everyone in the place thought it was a victory speech. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 14:06 7
        
        There were four victory speeches last night. -- nm* - ty97 Feb 2, 14:10 4
        
        Not the same when they clearly state they did not finish first. "Honored to be 2nd" etc. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 14:13 2
        
        you're just being silly. -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 14:15 1
        
        Sorry, "... we finished second. And I want to tell you something: I'm just honored." -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 14:21
        
        And the first of them was from a guy who finished third. -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 14:11
        
        It was. So was Sanders'. That's what they do. But she never said she won. -- nm - pmb Feb 2, 14:07 1
        
        Sure, you present yourself as a winner without misrespresenting, people like to vote for winners. -- nm - Andie Feb 2, 14:09
So wait, the little girl in that Cruz kiss video is his daughter? lol. Who is the dude carrying her? -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:51
Enjoyable afternoon of soccer. Sorry for brief spoils. -- (edited) - Volnelk Feb 2, 13:44 9
- *deletes the DVR unseen* -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 2, 13:44 8
  - dvr-ing soccer is brilliant. you can watch back at 3 times speed and just get to the point paster. -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 13:46 6
    - I will say, teh sport has grown on me a lot. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 13:47 1
      - Nice. I'm sure that being in the footy league helped. -- nm - zork Feb 2, 14:34
    - Highlight shows are the best. -- nm - Loyola Feb 2, 13:47 2
      - Match of the Day, where they show all the highlights but with the original call instead of a commentator is a great watch. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 2, 13:52 1
        
        It's on soon. I think some ice cream in front of the fire is in order. -- nm - Loyola Feb 2, 13:57
    - I struggle with DVRing sports. Mostly because I follow along on Twitter as well. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 2, 13:46
  - heh -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 13:45
There won't be a better headline than this today: Puddle of Mudd: Frontman Wes Scantlin Accuses Concert Attendee of Stealing His Home, Ends Show -- (link) - Mop Feb 2, 13:41 8

- I am guessing a stint in rehab might not be a bad idea. -- nm - Andie Feb 2, 13:52
- how does one steal a home? -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 13:43 4
  - Maybe he lived in a trailer. Can you tow a double wide? -- nm - Krusty - Most Right Poster Feb 2, 14:31
  - Who? -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:53
  - "How the f*** can you steal a house?" -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 13:45
  - With my American Express. -- nm - Willie Mays Hayes Feb 2, 13:43
*laughs at John Beilein* -- (link) - Spawn Feb 2, 13:40 2
- What a s**t rule. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 13:43 1
  - I'm a Michigan guy and I totally agree. I think schools have to much power over the students in this (and many other) areas. First of all, I think - pmb Feb 2, 13:57

It's weird having a thunderstorm in February. -- nm - pmb Feb 2, 13:35
SanFran sees your subway raccoon, Toronto, and raises you an airport emotional support turkey -- (link) - mr. plow Feb 2, 13:32 1
- Related: The Chronicle Tells You How To Hunt And Kill Your Own Thanksgiving Turkey I'm guessing that's auto generated but still.... - JD Feb 2, 13:35
Ariel Winter, goddamn....... -- (link) - groiny Feb 2, 13:28 7
- She looks beautiful there -- nm - zork Feb 2, 14:39
- And that is after a reduction. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 13:34 5
  - really, and good for her not hiding the scars and owning them. - contractor Feb 2, 13:36 3
    - I hope so, life hasn't been that easy for her. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 13:40 1
      - it sounds like the whole show is a support system. - groiny Feb 2, 13:42
    - Contractors dig scars? -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:40
  - Haley Atwell is like pfffft -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 13:35

How many amiibo do you think I have? Spoiler answer inside. - Qale Feb 2, 13:14 12
- when you start naming each one your ambien tabs, I'd say you've already taken too many -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 2, 13:22
- what's an amiibo? -- nm - decline Feb 2, 13:17 1
  - Pretty high quality figurines that are used to unlock things in Wii U and New 3DS games. -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 13:20
- Without clicking the spoiler, I will say 10. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:17 8
  - Oooooh. Really I only posted this to make Kilbo feel better about his EVE addiction. -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 13:30 7
    - I can not believe you let me down. - Spawn Feb 2, 13:34 6
      - I can't think of any more I'd want... -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 13:42 5
        
        Besides, you let me down thinking Gotham had returned when it isn't back until Feb 29th! -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 13:44 4
        
        Okay, sit down. This may shock you, but your stories you love to watch? - Spawn Feb 2, 13:47 3
        
        I'd watch Gotham LIVE. -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 13:50
        
        And really, February 29th? Qale, don't be a rube next time. He didn't even give you a real date. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 2, 13:48 1
        
        Wait, there is no February 29th? Goddamnit. People! Stop making me believe things that aren't real! -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 13:55

- "can I pet your kitty?" - contractor Feb 2, 13:33
- he is so hitting on you -- nm - decline Feb 2, 13:16 1
  - I don't think so. we'll see. I have one more project with him at lease. well, 1.5. speaking of, let's talk about my bathroom tomorrow. -- nm - amanda jonas Feb 2, 13:27
- The cats are coming from inside the house! -- nm - mr plow Feb 2, 13:14
- seriously, how is this not a porn movie? -- nm - oblique Feb 2, 13:13 1
  - Nope, not gonna post my first response.... ;) -- nm - Meg at the bookstore Feb 2, 13:16

Time to blow your mind. Watch the associate director at work during the "Grease Lightning" number. -- (link) - Mop Feb 2, 13:01 2
- Would be sweet to see the broadcast while hearing her audio calling out the changes. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 2, 13:48
- I'll stick with running audio thank you very much -- nm - oblique Feb 2, 13:09
Wow -- nm - JD Feb 2, 13:00 2
- I switched over to watching this game because Villa are shit. Effin awesome strike, that -- nm - CQ Feb 2, 13:02 1
  - That was such a goal that I didn't realize till replay just how stunning it was - JD Feb 2, 13:07
Seriously, Trump is doomed. Either of the other three will endorse the other if/when they drop out. Right? - Spawn Feb 2, 12:55 30
- As said yesterday, even if he loses the Republican nomination, I still think he's in this until the end - oblique Feb 2, 13:13 4
  - please go on as a 3rd party indy...please go on as a 3rd party indy...please go on as a 3rd party indy...please go on as a 3rd party indy...please go - zeitgeist Feb 2, 13:15 3
    - I do still entertain the thought that Trump is doing this all for Hillary. - Spawn Feb 2, 13:21 2
      - What would be the point of being an also ran early in the race? would it keep less insane from getting traction (bush, the only one concerning be4) -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 2, 13:29 1
        
        I really feel like he honestly expected to have to switch over to third party. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:36
- I think Cruz gets 'endorsed' when he's the nominee and they have no choice but to support him. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 13:10 17
  - Right. They definitely throw behind Rubio instead of Cruz. -- nm - pmb Feb 2, 13:11 16
    - But who would Cruz support if he drops out, Trump or Rubio? And same for Rubio - Cruz or Trump? -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 13:16 15
      - That is what I said below. The goal is NO TRUMP. The rest will fall in line behind whatever non-Trump is still standing. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:19 2
        
        actually, the party's goal is no Cruz. Trump gives them a much better shot electorally than Ted -- nm - mr. plow Feb 2, 13:27 1
        
        It's this 100%. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 13:51
      - If the other 2 are the only options still in at that point, I think they probably just stay silent unless there is a VP offer. -- nm - pmb Feb 2, 13:19 10
        
        Actually I think there's a chance Cruz would throw in behind Trump. I think Cruz's followers are more apt to be leaning that way to begin with and it - pmb Feb 2, 13:21 9
        
        Thus burying his future in the party? Doubtful. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:21 8
        
        It's already buried. -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 13:22 7
        
        (plus, he may have more to gain from a Trump presidency) -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 13:23
        
        Nah, he still could be their last hope. And backing the anti-Trump would go a long way towards that. -- nm* - Spawn Feb 2, 13:23 5
        
        This is after he drops out. He's not anybody's last hope at that point. And he's setting himself up for the next run. He clearly does not believe - pmb Feb 2, 13:28 4
        
        That is what I mean. And taking the Sanders path is still far better than the Trump path. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:59 3
        
        But it's after he dropped out. The Trump path and the Sanders path are the same. They are looking for disaffected voters within their party that are - pmb Feb 2, 14:02 2
        
        I have never taken Sanders as insulting his party, though... but I guess he does. -- (edited) - Spawn Feb 2, 14:07 1
        
        Just start from the fact that he isn't really a democrat. Until running for president he has always been an independent. He needed to align himself - pmb Feb 2, 14:12
      - I think both would remain quiet. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 13:18
- Don't most senators hate Cruz? Would Rubio endorse him? Vice Versa? - ty97 Feb 2, 13:02 3
  - To beat Trump? I would imagine. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:03
  - I think party affiliation will trump (pun!) personal animosity. -- nm - TWuG Feb 2, 13:03 1
    - Obviously they won't endorse Clinton/Sanders but they don't have to endorse anyone. -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 13:03
- Not if they can make a deal for the VP spot -- nm - zork Feb 2, 12:55 2
  - all depends on what the Koch brothers want -- nm - Remlik Feb 2, 13:00
  - And there we go. We are stuck with those two instead? -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 12:58
