Sigh, if I see one more factually incorrect Bernie Sanders meme on my FB. Not worth my time responding, but goodness people. -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 09:20 14
- Stop signs were invented to keep you out of Bernie Sanders' way. -- nm - decline Mar 30, 09:22
- You're becoming like ML with John Edwards. -- nm - David Mar 30, 09:21 12
  - tbf I think MDH is more annoyed by Bernie supporters, than the actual Bernie. -- nm - Roger More Mar 30, 09:31 2
    - Not "all supporters" I don't want to generalize. Just the ones who can't stop posting 5-6 memes a day (like Bill Maher called out in his segment) -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 09:33 1
      - Right, there's a small subset of militant supporters - ty97 Mar 30, 09:37

        My entire FB thread is god-ly empowerment posters....it's all fine - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:26 4
        
        And those damn food videos. -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 09:34 3
        
        I kinda like those. I don't share them, but I enjoy them. -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 09:40

    - That's all I hear from you! Why can't you just appreciate my art? -- nm - Zac Snyder si Mar 30, 09:28 1
      - suck it, Zac! -- nm - Andie Mar 30, 09:31
  - that was the one with what's-her-face, right? - decline Mar 30, 09:24
- I don't think it depicts high school drama as much as it nails the cliques and subdivisions of High School perfectly. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 30, 09:22
- 16 Candles comes close -- nm - decline Mar 30, 09:13
- Glee. -- nm - Beaker Mar 30, 09:11 7
  - good point. It deals with sexuality in a way that couldn't be done in the 80s. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 30, 09:14 6
    - oddly i think sexuality in teenage films was more blatant in the 80s, i think we are more prudish now. - Andie Mar 30, 09:18 5
      - within the narrowly defined heterosexual world - perhaps, but "Glee" had a cross-dresser - Mel Profit Mar 30, 09:38 2
        
        you mean the black guy from Mannequin was not what gay guys are like? -- nm - groiny Mar 30, 09:40
        
        that's true. -- nm - Andie Mar 30, 09:39
      - and got pregnant, and had abortions. Well, in Fast Times anyway -- nm - Jim Mar 30, 09:22
      - *crushes John Benders head between her knees* -- nm - Molly Ringwald Mar 30, 09:20
- It's only gotten more on point and I was in HS when it came out. - Mel Profit Mar 30, 09:10
- high school in the 80s, or of any time? (Baby it's You, 1982) -- nm - pixie ninja Mar 30, 09:02 3
  - of that time, maybe Fast Times at Ridgemont High -- nm - pixie ninja Mar 30, 09:04 2
    - or Say Anything (1989 yo) -- nm - pixie ninja Mar 30, 09:05 1
      - I think this. -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Mar 30, 09:31

- Where is the story to this? - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:33
- sounds like a plant. -- nm - groiny Mar 30, 08:55 18
  - Yeah, can't imagine why any real racist would be receptive to Trump's message. -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 08:56 17
    - sure, but it seems awful convenient to get shown wearing that hat while doing it. -- nm - groiny Mar 30, 08:56 16
      - Agreed, it's all conspiracy and coincidence that people who tend to say things like that are at Trump rallies wearing Trump hats. -- nm* - ty97 Mar 30, 08:57 15
        
        well, not all of it. But some of it is. -- nm - groiny Mar 30, 08:58 14
        
        I don't think it's plants - there's no need. I do think there are people who go to Trump rallies to instigate stuff, but that's what protest is about -- nm - Roger More Mar 30, 09:16 13
        
        there was a story about protestors who were paid to protest his rally here. - groiny Mar 30, 09:19 12
        
        Unproven, for now -- (link) - Roger More Mar 30, 09:24 11
        
        this story was from 4 days ago.... - groiny Mar 30, 09:28 10
        
        Interesting that the guy in the story has the name 'Paul Horner' -- (link) - Roger More Mar 30, 09:35 3
        
        And that's not even ABC News' logo -- (link) - Roger More Mar 30, 09:37 2
        
        But don't you know that "Snopes, [is] a website known for giving biased opinions of stories on the internet in order to generate revenue" - pmb Mar 30, 09:44
        
        I don't know what to believe in anymore! -- nm - groiny Mar 30, 09:39
        
        Not saying fact or fiction, but that's a WTF article. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:33 4
        
        Also, sounds like fiction - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:35 3
        
        Right? It's completely insane bullshit. It has to be a fake article. -- nm - pmb Mar 30, 09:42 2
        
        in hindsight, I should have had bells and whistles going off too. -- nm - groiny Mar 30, 09:44 1
        
        It's a pretty good satire of modern 'journalism' until they got cute. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:46
        
        Stop it with your conspiracies - next you'll be telling me Shooter McGavin paid that dude to fuck with Happy Gilmore. -- nm - Jim Mar 30, 09:30
groiny, from b2. its not just random players though that is the issue - Truman Mar 30, 08:45 9
- Right, it's a broken system that Bungie didn't think through enough. - David Mar 30, 08:58 5
  - I would not say overconfident, they had plenty of issues leading up the the release - groiny Mar 30, 09:00 4
    - They thought they could make a 10-year game using an unbalanced system. That's overconfidence. - David Mar 30, 09:01 3
      - I don't disagree that they made some bad decisions. - groiny Mar 30, 09:03 2
        
        i dont mind unbalanced. everyone playing call of duty has a chance to get those guns though, just by playing/leveling - Truman Mar 30, 09:05 1
        
        the most used guns in Destiny Multiplayer..... - groiny Mar 30, 09:18
- and that is also part of what I did not like about Halo..... - groiny Mar 30, 08:51 1
  - i am all for customization of looks, i get that. - Truman Mar 30, 09:07
- that is how they get you to grind for gear though. - groiny Mar 30, 08:49
REB2: Spamlet, yeah, Jetblue has great east coast service, ok west coast service, and abysmal service in between. - ty97 Mar 30, 08:41 4
- It's all flyover so it doesn't really matter. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 30, 09:01 1
  - True! :) -- nm* - ty97 Mar 30, 09:09
- what about North Coast and South Coast? -- nm - decline Mar 30, 08:53 1
  - Decent service to Florida beach destinations! No service to Hudson Bay. -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 08:54
Man With Nation's Best NCAA Bracket Didn't Pick A Champion -- (link) - Beaker Mar 30, 08:36 3

  - yup, same for me -- nm - Beaker Mar 30, 08:56
- Eh, it tells you if your bracket is incomplete. -- nm - Spawn Mar 30, 08:38
"RNC pledge is officially declared dead at 10:38 pm ET when John Kasich became the third and final candidate to walk away from it." -- nm - ML Mar 30, 08:35 5
- It kills me to watch Cruz hem and haw over the pledge. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 08:46 3
  - I had almost no respect for him before it, now I can say that science has yet to come up with a measurement to define just how little respect - Mel Profit Mar 30, 09:13
  - I can't help but wonder if the last line of your IM is not how he feels. - ty97 Mar 30, 08:48 1
    - I think he's the type that would vote for Hitler if Hitler was conservative. I'd say ideology matters more to Cruz than party as indicated by his - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:04
- *nom*nom*nom* -- nm - znufrii with popcorn Mar 30, 08:36

- Are films supposed to drop 18% on Tuesday? Answer: NO! -- nm - David Mar 30, 08:39 9
  - usually there is an uptick from Monday, right? -- nm - Diva Mar 30, 08:41 8
    - Yes, it's not unusual to see a downtick for new releases, especially after Easter, but this is...significant. -- nm - David Mar 30, 08:44
    - Monday after Easter is inflated so a drop isn't unusual, but Furious 7 last year did $14M on Monday and $13.3M on Tuesday. - Roger More Mar 30, 08:43 6
      - yonh! thx for the crunchy yet savory fund management! - Diva Mar 30, 08:45 5
        
        I've decided to take a break from fund management for a little while. Vacation, plus this round seemed like such a slog, compared with the studio fund - Roger More Mar 30, 08:57
        
        thank you sir may I have another? - Epiphany Mar 30, 08:46 3
        
        the TRUMP Fund. Anyone who has been in a movie or appeared on TV with him (or endorsed him) -- nm - Beaker Mar 30, 08:47 2

  - Flash was *good* last night. -- nm - Spawn Mar 30, 08:36 5
    - Rogue War! Come to daddy!! -- nm - Beaker Mar 30, 08:37
    - yeah, Flash was good, that shit with Supergirl, was BAD. -- nm - groiny Mar 30, 08:37 3
      - All I saw was what Remlik posted yesterday. Can not imagine watching a full episode of that under any normal conditions*. -- nm - Spawn Mar 30, 08:40 2
        
        I did the same, it is total cheesefest. -- nm - groiny Mar 30, 08:42 1
