Deplorable. -- (link) - Spawn Jun 29, 08:25 15
- This should be reported to Melania. Isn't her platform to end cyber bullying? -- nm - jnine Jun 29, 08:40 2
  - only of children -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 08:40 1
    - Or by children. I think it applies. -- nm - jnine Jun 29, 08:46
- Do these idiots realize that when you say you can be bullied by the likes of Mika Brezinski (sp), you look as weak as a kitten? - crash davis Jun 29, 08:37 1
  - it is Schoolyard 101 -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 08:38
- Fact check. -- (link) - Spawn Jun 29, 08:29 1

  - He is the president. It is a 24/7 job. He may believe he speaks for himself but he speaks as the president. Sean Spicer has confirmed that view as - pmb Jun 29, 08:48
  - IANAL, but they are statement from the POTUS the same as at a podium -- nm* - ty97 Jun 29, 08:38 5

      - So your argument is that a tweet is different then him releasing a memo? - ty97 Jun 29, 08:40 3

        of course not everything he says is. To me, it's obvious this is him acting in his official capacity -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 08:41 1

Trailer for Jumangi..... -- (link) - Remlik Jun 29, 08:10 [youtube] 1
- Well OK then. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 08:38
Has anyone upgraded from iPhone 6 to 7? Do I want 7? I'm fine with 6s size and function, all I can think I need is more battery life. -- nm - Max Jun 29, 08:07 11
- One of these days I'll get around to replacing my 5c with our spare 5s that needs a new battery. -- nm - znufrii Jun 29, 08:12 3
  - I'd do that sooner than later. The switch in iOS 11 to 64-bit is going to kill a lot of apps so the 5c is going to be left behind - oblique Jun 29, 08:15 2
    - That's my motivation. -- nm - znufrii Jun 29, 08:16 1
      - if you happen to come across a good deal, the SE is a great upgrade from the 5c/5s. It has the guts of the 6s but the form factor of the 5s -- nm - oblique Jun 29, 08:19
- patryk has 7. the battery life difference is shocking. I still have 6s. I ... still don't know how I feel about no geadphone jack. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 29, 08:09 4
  - ooh, I like the battery life but I'm wary of the jackless format. So I have to carry a bluetooth ear thing around if I don't want to hold my phone. - Max Jun 29, 08:12 3
    - Get air pods!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 08:24
    - or you can get BT headphones. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 29, 08:23
    - They give you a little adapter to go from lightning to headphone. It's inconvenient but not a big deal -- nm - oblique Jun 29, 08:14
- I have a 6 for personal and a 7 for work. It's basically the same size/functionality but the battery life on the 7 is a big step up. -- nm - Roger More Jun 29, 08:08
- Why do you not love Apple? - Spawn Jun 29, 08:08
all of these things said, I'm pretty jazzed to smuggle a mountain of mcnuggets into the college 12 and watch baby driver this weekend. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 29, 08:05 11
- I never thought about bringing McNuggets into a theatre, but it would totally work as a cinema food. - crash davis Jun 29, 08:18 9
  - I may have done this...at least twice... -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 08:25
  - my *favorite* movie food ever. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 29, 08:22 7
    - maj needs her nugs. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 08:22 6
      - I don't know how many times I've been running late, arrive at a movie totally hungry and then pay for the gross overpriced nachos. - crash davis Jun 29, 08:24 5
        
        I am a sucker for Pretzel Bites. -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 08:35 1
        
        stop at the pretzel store on the way. pretzel bites plus dip plus drink = $2.50. I'm not a millionaire. I can't afford $9 pretzels. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 29, 08:40
        
        Contrary to the beliefs of ST, McDonald's is the answer to a good number of life's questions. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 08:33
        
        I build in the stop. once they were "out of mcnuggets" and I... well, that movie wasn't good. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 29, 08:33 1
        
        how can a McDs run out of McNuggets? that would be pitchforks and torches time for me -- nm - crash davis Jun 29, 08:42
- Nice! -- nm - Krusty Jun 29, 08:16
Trailer for Inhumans....from Marvel and Imax and ABC -- (link) - Remlik Jun 29, 08:01 [youtube] 13
- The guy playing Maximus is weeeeeeeeeeeak. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 08:17 2
  - I rather think he's nailing the character. -- nm - Remlik Jun 29, 08:27 1
    - Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 08:29
- Ramsay Bolton struggling with the accent there - Reagen Jun 29, 08:06 4
  - So, what does an Attilan accent sound like? -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 08:21 3
    - Apparently it sounds like "boring and cheesy looking". -- nm - Ender Jun 29, 08:26 2
      - Ah, the Spawn accent. Beauty. -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 08:28 1
        
        Maybe that is why I am looking forward to seeing this in IMAX. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 08:30
- I really, really dislike the red haired woman's look. -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 08:04 3
  - Yeah, they hewed too close to the comics in some places - you barely see Crystal and Medusa and that's a good thing. - Mop Jun 29, 08:21 2
    - you make some good point, but I'm waiting till I see it.... -- nm - Remlik Jun 29, 08:54
    - I think I will wait until I watch it to make judgements like that. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 08:22
- yeah, no thanks -- nm - mud Jun 29, 08:04
Just watched that NRA ad. It's straight out of a Handmaids Tale flashback scene. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 29, 07:58 5
- We should totally meet them halfway! -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 07:59 4
  - Have no idea how it changes unless the brain octopus from Watchmen materializes in downtown New York. (And even then, maybe Chicago would be better.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 29, 08:10 3
    - On some level it's about waiting them out - Reagen Jun 29, 08:14 2
      - Too complacent, IMO. People who believe in liberal policies like globalisation, free trade, etc need to be more aggressive in promoting the links - Roger More Jun 29, 08:30
      - That's if nothing else changes. There's still plenty of agitation-level events that are almost certain to occur. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 29, 08:22
About 15 minutes before the president himself tweeted, White House social media director Dan Scavino similarly attacked the hosts. - Diva Jun 29, 07:52 1
- Classy as f*ck. -- nm* - znufrii Jun 29, 07:53
Looks like we have an opening in my Star Wars Alliance, if anyone wants in. - Spawndroid Jun 29, 07:51 1

  - Treating a man like men treat women? It'd be incoherent. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 08:07

  - d-uh jack, she already IS the Antichrist. Try to keep up. -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 07:47
- What's with this man's blood fetish, by the by? -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 07:45
- He'd be the Anti-Christ, and every Democratic woman would be held to account for any support they had ever offered. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 29, 07:43 1

    - It's probably Clint's weirdest film. -- nm - LMS Jun 29, 07:42

      - Trump's tweets are what's wrong with America. Graham is lucky his are only what's wrong with politics. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 08:37
