I finished Act 4 of Metal Gear Solid 4 last night. This game is epic. I'll be sad once the ride is over. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 09:15
John Kerry: Newspaper bailouts? -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 22, 09:07 27
- Not that paying advertisers should care much, but they're still a good way for lower income people to stay informed -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 09:14 4
  - they actually do a lot better job of reaching higher income. - Callisto Apr 22, 09:19 3
    - we do a major canadian study on newspaper readership and that's true -- nm - zork Apr 22, 09:22
    - How so? -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 09:21 1
      - Well, if you look at research, you'll see newspaper does a much, much better job of reaching the $75,000+ income than really any other medium. - Callisto Apr 22, 09:23
- Kerry doesn't get it. Shockingly. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 09:10 18
  - Well he's right in that it's troubling that there are becoming fewer different voices out there reporting. - Reagen Apr 22, 09:13 17
    - I rather think the profit motive is killing journalism -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 09:21 1
      - the profit motive has always been part of news reporting and editorials -- nm - Roger More Apr 22, 09:22
    - I've always thought THE primary role of journalism has been to protect people's liberty and rights - Strongbad Apr 22, 09:19 6
      - and in my opinion, a lack of diversity of viewpoints compromises that role. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 09:25 1
        
        And in my opinion, I don't think that has anything to do with it. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 22, 09:28
      - And of course, there's also the sometimes conflicts of interests that cause media outlets to ignore or downplay stories. - Reagen Apr 22, 09:25
      - basically the problem comes down to what private corporations see as efficiencies. - Reagen Apr 22, 09:22 2
        
        So to be more specific, it's the reduction of # of journalists, not specifically mergers & consolidation. - Strongbad Apr 22, 09:27 1
        
        not necessarily - mergers and consolidation can affect news coverage too, especially of local issues - Roger More Apr 22, 09:32
    - on the other hand, the internet is making more and more opportunities for diverse voices to be heard. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 09:14 5
      - mostly reactive. Almost zilch in the way of investigative. -- nm - Reagen Apr 22, 09:15 4
        
        I wouldn't say the establishment media is all that great at investigative journalism either -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 09:20 1
        
        they're not as good as they used to be for reasons I discuss above. But it is without a doubt what print media does best. -- nm - Reagen Apr 22, 09:23
        
        precisely. -- nm - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 09:18
        
        so far. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 09:18
    - but bloggers are journalists, too! - Beryllium Apr 22, 09:14 1
      - some are, some aren't. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 09:14
- [deleted] 2
  - and HD-DVD -- nm - Strongbad Apr 22, 09:11
  - BRING BACK 8-TRACKS!!! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 22, 09:10
Too many mother uckers, ucking with my shi. -- nm - Subversive Apr 22, 09:07
Helen Mirren.... -- (link) - Remlik Apr 22, 09:04 3
- she's some sort of ILF -- nm - zork Apr 22, 09:16 1
  - GILF I think is the term -- nm - Remlik Apr 22, 09:20
- While she still can! -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 09:04
NCIS spoilage from TVguide... - Remlik Apr 22, 08:50 1

Girl question: Do I want to keep my hair long (right now below shoulders) or chop to chin length? -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:31 42
- I can't decide -- nm - Epiphany Apr 22, 09:03
- I'd get the extra absorbant kind. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 22, 09:03
- In between -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 09:00
- high and tight. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 08:58 8
  - A beehive! -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 08:59 7
    - I absolutely want to try a beehive one day. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:59 6
      - or do something like this -- (link) - znufrii Apr 22, 09:02 4
        
        Too short. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 22, 09:19
        
        why would she want to duplicate your hair? -- nm - zork Apr 22, 09:16
        
        She needs evening gloves and a cigarette holder -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 09:16
        
        EW! -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 09:07
      - Now I imagine loosi walking around DC like Lisa Marie in Mars Attacks -- nm - Roger More Apr 22, 09:01
- heh, a friend of mine just did this. I got two phone calls about it. 1. "I'm not going to look hideous, am I?" 2. "OHMYGOD! I look hideous!" - mafic Apr 22, 08:54 2
  - i've mentioned that (your IM) sort of thing before. ... - zork Apr 22, 09:21
  - my sister is always growing hers super long and doesn't want to cut it, and when she gets it chopped to chin length, everyone LOVES it. - loosilu Apr 22, 08:56
- Hump Day dude answer: long hair. - JaxSean Apr 22, 08:51 6
  - But with short hair, you can see the face better :) -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 08:53
  - Easier for handlebars too. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 08:52 4
    - Reins, too. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 22, 08:54
    - does that mean what I think it means? -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:53 2
      - Geez, watch a porno every once in a while -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 09:10
      - I won't even pretend to know what you're thinking so... -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 08:54
- Long, you can always pin it up or tie it back. -- nm - lileve Apr 22, 08:45
- long -- nm - zork Apr 22, 08:38
- I say leave it long. -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 08:36 1
  - ok, I think I'm going to keep it long. I wanted to see if there would be a majority saying short. since it's split, I want long. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:37
- Boy answer: I've always thought hair cut above the chin is sexy. - con_carne Apr 22, 08:33
- I like short hair on girls. So I vote for chin length. -- nm - DreadPR Apr 22, 08:32
- long, I think. - Callisto Apr 22, 08:32 13
  - I've had the same style/non-style for *years*. I'm afraid to do something new/different. - kelly Apr 22, 08:36 7
    - it was so insane to chop all my hair off the first time. I was like, what the hell am I doing? - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 08:59 2
      - i think every once in a while you just have to say 'fuck it' and change it up. - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 22, 09:10 1
        
        I'm letting mine grow in differently as well. I think I want chunky layers all over. but what *color*? -- nm - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 09:20
    - see, I want bangs. I hate my forehead. -- nm - Callisto Apr 22, 08:39 3
      - I've had bangs for most of my life - and truth be told, I like them. I don't really want to grow them out. - kelly Apr 22, 08:42 1
        
        jamie, my BFF, just got bangs. she looks about eight years old. I think if you have like, non-huge and chunky bangs, you're fine. -- nm - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 09:00
      - I would LOVE to grow bangs because of my forehead, but my hair is a million times too curly. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:40
  - I'm letting mine grow back. again. it's taking *forever.* -- nm - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 08:34 1
    - this is my problem. "It grows!" people say. Yeah, but when it's super kinky it takes a couple of years. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:34
  - are you on FB? there are pics of me with both I think. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:33 2
    - yeah, it's cute both ways on you. I still think long. -- nm - Callisto Apr 22, 08:35 1
      - thanks. I tend to do short every summer, have not had it this long in years and I'm having fun with it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:35
Need help with birthday gift for my graphics designer cousin in NY. She is turning 30. Two options (Purse/Dell Mini) inside. - DreadPR Apr 22, 08:30 12
- Most Graphic Designers are Mac people. I still want an XP Dell Mini. -- nm - lileve Apr 22, 08:50 2
  - I was a little surprised when i heard her talk about it as she is definitey more a mac than PC person -- nm - DreadPR Apr 22, 08:54 1
    - Depends on what she does, for web work you need to see what site will look like on a PC. Also some Adobe programs are PC only. -- nm - lileve Apr 22, 08:56
- purse #2 - like it better. and i like getting someone something they probably would never get themselves, so i like purse better than mini. -- nm - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 22, 08:33
- I prefer the safe purse. that whole faux-animal stamping thing will be out in no time. at least a flat leather has a chance at future seasons. -- nm - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 08:32 5
  - oh, also, most graphic designers are mac people. that's why I chose "purse" over "mini." -- nm - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 08:33 4
    - very true ... but she needs both for her work. Im leaning purse too now. -- nm - DreadPR Apr 22, 08:35 3
      - blue. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:35 2
        
        Definitely the most risk for the most reward option :) hmm -- nm - DreadPR Apr 22, 08:42 1
        
        it's a very trendy color, and she's a designer. plus, it's just pretty. I would take that one any day. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:43
- jeez, my brother is a jerk. he doesn't even call me. Oh, I'd take the Dell. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:32 1
  - ...and between all the purses I'd take the faux croc in blue, hands down. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 08:33
Memo to moronic NFL Draftees: if you must smoke up do it AFTER you are drug tested and actually, you know, drafted....idiots. -- (link) - Beaker Apr 22, 08:17 1

Turkey recalls their Ambassador to Canada -- (link) - Beaker Apr 22, 08:08 5

  - This is about shoring up domestic political support - how this looks to the rest of the world is less important - Roger More Apr 22, 08:33
  - I know! it's like why keep denying it when EVERYONE knows what really happened? -- nm - Diva Apr 22, 08:13
  - man, who knew the monkees were so political? -- nm - mafic Apr 22, 08:12 1
    - hmm, yup, its strange -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 22, 08:12
STIS: Previously I found a site with a non-download, simple and easy craps bet simulator, yet can't now - MDH Apr 22, 08:07 5
- Craps is easy....avoid the center of the table. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 08:09 3
  - it's funny watching all the degenerates push their hard eights and such. -- nm - Reagen Apr 22, 09:02 1
    - Yeah. Even playing 'boring', that game has a ton of thrills in it. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 09:04
  - Some links here -- (link) - Will Hunting Apr 22, 08:11
- don;t know that one, but Wikipedia has some good articles on stuff like that (used one for craps before and roulette odds) -- nm - Beaker Apr 22, 08:08

I have realized that I was being too hard on Stacy by prejudging her relationship based on her past. Want to say sorry and I hope it goes great! -- nm - Spawn: TT Fantasy Hoops Champion Apr 22, 08:03 2
- who are you and what have you done with Spawn? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 22, 08:04 1
  - amoxy has me reflective. -- nm - Spawn: TT Fantasy Hoops Champion Apr 22, 08:08
andie, if you can add a colourful accent like a tie-dye scarf (tied at neck or belt) so people (and cameras) notice you more -- nm - zork Apr 22, 07:58 2

  - neat. i'd like that ... - zork Apr 22, 09:13

- First. -- nm - kelly Apr 22, 08:19
- B. A will be for another time -- nm - con_carne Apr 22, 08:07
- right now: the second one. I'm probably only in the country for another six months or so, and I don't want anything that'd make me second guess that. - mafic Apr 22, 08:07 1
  - *sounds the ralph wiggum alarm* -- nm - Inigo Apr 22, 08:16
- Dude monkeys are kind of cute but I dont get involved with monkees that way:) - eag Apr 22, 08:05 2
  - I thought you loved me! *cries* -- nm - davy jones Apr 22, 08:08 1

  - why don't you call anymore? -- nm - pigby Apr 22, 08:03 1
    - You were a little *too* wild. It was getting tough to walk. -- nm - Jelly Apr 22, 08:04
- First one, easily. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 08:00
- it's an impossible question, as the first would necessarily imply the second, and vice versa. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 07:59 2
  - but in a hypothetical paradigm where they did not, I'd choose the second. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 08:00
  - hee. silly znufrii. -- nm - TFox Apr 22, 08:00
