- Next time I disagree with someone here, I'll just extend their argument by 2-3 leaps and then imply they're dumb. - Strongbad Jun 2, 09:15

- please note - she told her lawyer, she told her pastor, she told family members and it took that long to stop her. -- (edited) - Andie Jun 2, 09:02 7
  - The first two can't disclose unless they had good reason to think she would do it again. -- nm - ty97 Jun 2, 09:03 6

        Didn't know that, thanks -- nm - Guigue Jun 2, 09:08
        
        I realize this was in Canada and I don't know your laws, so I'm just speaking from a US perspective. -- nm - ty97 Jun 2, 09:08
    - but neither actually urged her to do something to control her 'urges' either. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 09:04

Look, ST, I know that we lack universality on a lot of topics, but can we at least all agree that... - David Jun 2, 08:25 [youtube] 31
- I think your insane love for Chainsmokers is enough to keep me out of time out until at least 2117. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 08:55 13
  - To be fair, it's about a song, not a band. Also, NO! -- nm - David Jun 2, 08:56 12
    - But that makes it worse because it's their most cynical one. Kanye and Selfie are at least silly. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 09:03 6
      - "I just think it's pretty." - David Jun 2, 09:06 5
        
        Oh, I absolutely disagree. They're fundamentally the opposite of the uplifting nature that EDM brings to the table. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 09:08 4
        
        Closer's basically the only worthwhile contribution to the entire EDM music style. -- nm - David Jun 2, 09:09 3

- Morris Day and the Time! -- nm - crash davis Jun 2, 08:40 3

From Bwhatever: the long standing practice of Past POTUS staying out of current administrations - Strongbad Jun 2, 08:22 12
- He'll be defending himself, either from criminal charges, or at least I didn't lose, the losers took advantage of the medis -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 2, 10:40
- He threatened to jail his opposing candidate. Anyone who thought he was going to respect the office after that is crazy. -- nm - Max Jun 2, 08:45

- I think we're seeing that weaken right now with Obama's recent speech. - Mel Profit Jun 2, 08:27 5
  - Obama is trying to walk a fine line, talking about broader policy beliefs without confronting the president's positions directly. It's definitely a - pmb Jun 2, 08:33 4
    - I agree - I think Obama is *tryin' real hard* to walk the path of the righteous man, like Sam Jackson - Mel Profit Jun 2, 08:43 3
      - "Do not covfefe into that good nig " -- nm - Trump Tweet 2021 Jun 2, 08:46 2

        "Covfefe was my sled" -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 08:50
- agreed -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 08:26
PSA : I can't stand the Chainsmokers. -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 08:21 12
- "The correct response to the existence of The Chainsmokers is sheer, unbridled contempt." -- nm -- Spawn Apr 17 '17, 22:43 -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 08:49
- I like the fact that they made Halsey more well known, but otherwise all their songs / collaborations sound the same. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 2, 08:34
- I don't think I care enough to say "can't stand". My one exposure to them (SNL) just left me bored with them. -- nm - crash davis Jun 2, 08:27 1
  - I listen to everything, when I heard someone nameless here touting them, I listened. - groiny Jun 2, 08:33

  - You'd basically have to be immune to radio signals to have missed Closer. -- nm - David Jun 2, 08:28

Johan Johannson, Carter Burwell, Alexandre Desplat - Reagen Jun 2, 08:19 12
- Agree on Johann Johannsson - Arrival score was great. -- nm - LMS Jun 2, 08:34
- Oh, Brian Tyler. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 08:24
- Danny Elfman has a style for sure, but has branches out a lot lately and has done a bunch of things you probably didn't realize - Reagen Jun 2, 08:24 6
  - i can still hear his 'style' very clearly on 'Girl On the Train' as well as Avengers: Ultron and Silver Linings. - Diva Jun 2, 08:29 4
    - hm. -- nm* - Diva Jun 2, 08:32
    - It's his Signature but it's not the "THIS IS A WHIMSICAL SCORE!!!" sound that people normally associate with him. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 08:31 2

      - mine has actually been somewhat human lately. - groiny Jun 2, 08:57 4
        
        Your IM is the truth. I'm dreading the autopsy report. - David Jun 2, 08:59 3
        
        it is simple.... - groiny Jun 2, 09:05 2
        
        I kind of did a double-take when I found he was only 55. - David Jun 2, 09:08 1
