    - *perks up* -- nm - Dawsun si Apr 24, 22:52
i'm guessing Jay-Z and Beyonce paid Rachel Roy a lot of money to pretend to be his "other woman" - dj fingerblast Apr 24, 20:57 2
- She, they?, has got to be one of the most calculating artists out there. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 25, 00:51
- PR is PR and she's the Queen. Got to sell those downloads! -- nm - Pippy Apr 24, 21:24

- That would be a tough one for me in a closed primary state. Not sure how I'd deal with it. - ty97 Apr 24, 20:53
- I would do this if Bernie dropped out. To block Cruz -- nm - Bacon Apr 24, 20:52 8
  - erm.........how would that work? Cruz can't win 1237, how would you vote? -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 20:53 7
    - Trump. I want him to get the nom -- nm - Bacon Apr 24, 20:54 6
      - I don't trust a contested convention. I don't want President Cruz under any circumstances -- nm - Bacon Apr 24, 20:55 5
        
        You'd never get a President Cruz. Contested convention would drive a rift far too deep. - ty97 Apr 24, 20:57 4
        
        Cruz is my worst case scenario, Trump is the next worse. So Trump is less evil than Cruz -- nm - Bacon Apr 24, 20:59 3
        
        the Clinton campaign has made no secret that they would much rather face Cruz in a general election - dj fingerblast Apr 24, 21:00 2
        
        My concern is she has some weird thing go wrong and he wins by default. I don't want that to even be possible. - Bacon Apr 24, 21:03
        
        Yup, Cruz is so much easier to beat. Especially if half the Republican voters feel that he stole the nomination at convention. -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 21:01
I bought roasted garlic hummus at Trader Joe's today and I should just throw it out now because this is going to be a clear problem for me. - ty97 Apr 24, 20:37 3

  - hehe, not quite yet....... - ty97 Apr 24, 20:41 1

- He may in fact, have character issues. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 24, 20:31
Kasich and Cruz will coordinate in upcoming primaries to prevent Trump from getting the nom. -- (link) - Mop Apr 24, 20:26 1
- I miss the days when you did not have me killfiled. -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 20:26
I'm a season (maybe two) behind on the Voice. Just saw this girl perform such an incredible version of "Lips Are Movin" that I immediately bought it. - Mop Apr 24, 20:06 1
- Oh, look. Things I learned today: Kon Kan's "Vida" is on iTunes... FINALLY. -- nm - Mop Apr 24, 20:08

- Jesus Christ... THAT WAS THE SECOND DEATH STAR! -- nm - Ender Apr 24, 20:06 2
  - Are you insinuating that Manny died for nothing? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 20:54
  - Bothans are the go-to for plan stealing. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 20:34
So, this "Lemonade" drama song from Beyonce is making a splash. Was Jay-Z actually adulterous, and if so, with whom? -- nm - Facto Apr 24, 19:41 14
- To be clear, it was not cooking channel maven Rachel Ray despite how much hate she's accidentally getting today. -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 19:43 13
  - Jay and Rachel Ray... what an odd couple they'da made. -- nm - Facto Apr 24, 19:46 12
    - Now you can call me ray, and you can call me jay, just don't call me Rachel Ray -- nm - Bacon Apr 24, 19:57
    - On the other hand Rachel Roy (note the O in the last name) appears to have made allusions that she is good-haired Becky. -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 24, 19:47 10
      - Ah, gotcha... Googled Rachel Roy now, and top suggestion google threw me was "rachel roy jay z" -- nm - Facto Apr 24, 19:49 9
        
        Apparently this all goes make a ways, at least to when Solange attacked Jay in the elevator. - ty97 Apr 24, 19:55 8
        
        So they're definitely balling - no smoke without a fire, etc. -- nm - Facto Apr 24, 20:04 7
        
        No idea. Just goes to show (if the elevator story is correct) that the suspicion isn't new. Doesn't mean it's right. - ty97 Apr 24, 20:06 6
        
        I learn so many new, valuable things, from googling this... Beyonce's bonkers fans are called "the BeyHive" - and don't exactly bee-have. Verbal abuse - Facto Apr 24, 20:29 5
        
        I'd heard the term Beyhive (though only recently) but had thought their reaction was *due* to that Instagram post, not the other way around -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 24, 20:34 4
        
        Related: One Direction fans are apparently Directioneers -- nm* - ty97 Apr 24, 20:43 3
        
        that's incorrect. They are Wasters Of Their Time. -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 20:49 2
        
        Sadly I know this name because I like the British girl group Little Mix - ty97 Apr 24, 20:56

Awesome. Apparently my computer installed Windiws10 while I was gone this weekend. Without my permission. Damnit Microsoft! -- nm - sycor Apr 24, 19:20 10
- Forced updates are the worst -- nm - Pippy Apr 24, 20:39
- You'll likely want to back up what you can and do a fresh install instead. Going back to your previous version will likely fail. -- nm - Qale Apr 24, 19:54 1
  - Indeed. A Windows 10 upgrade is not an upgrade at all but a full fresh install. -- nm - Mop Apr 24, 20:07
- TTIS Should I install it? MS says I should. I haven't researched it yet. -- nm - zunk xometimes Apr 24, 19:39 1
  - Are you running a computer that is currently running (blank)? Then yes. Yes, you should install Windows 10. -- nm - Mop Apr 24, 19:46

- Just lay back and enjoy it. -- nm - Microsoft Apr 24, 19:22

    - Well, Cap2 was better than Cap1, so there's that? -- nm - Qale Apr 24, 19:19
