Dumb change to Google maps that's been annoying me since the last update: - Reagen Nov 29, 09:04 3
- Do you guys have Waze up there? -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:05 2
  - Yes, although I find that annoying for other reasons. - Reagen Nov 29, 09:08
  - Seriously :) Did you see we're getting "OK, Waze" voice support in the latest update? -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 09:06
Halfway through the day - my child locking himself inside the car in the school parking lot and refusing to come out has been the high point. - elf kelly Nov 29, 09:02 3

We still don't know the title of the second Infinity War movie, right? -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 08:53 29
- Infinity War 2: Thanos Boogaloo -- nm - Epiphany Nov 29, 09:06
- Suposedly Zoe Saldana said it was Infinty Gauntlet -- nm - eag Nov 29, 08:59
- Infinity Ketchup -- nm - Max Nov 29, 08:58
- It's only one movie now. -- nm - David Nov 29, 08:56 16
  - Still 2, apparently.. -- (link) - Marlowe Nov 29, 09:04
  - This is my understanding, yes. -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 08:59
  - As of when? They continue to say Avengers 4 is the end of the road for many of the characters, as recently as this week. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:58 13
    - 2016. -- (link) - David Nov 29, 08:59 12
      - That link specifically says the second Infinity War movie is still happening but has been retitled "'Untitled Avengers' project. -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 09:02 9
        
        Okay, my mistake. So, there's going to be a fourth movie but it's not Infinity War. -- nm - David Nov 29, 09:07 7
        
        It's not titled "Infinity War Part II". I've seen no suggestion that they've actually changed the plot. -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 09:08 6
        
        its titled ( not really spoils) - Epiphany Nov 29, 09:09 5
        
        Don't make me get the hose. -- nm - David Nov 29, 09:10 4
        
        Its going to take a hose to get me off of Cap - Epiphany Nov 29, 09:19
        
        Dude! -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:12
        
        I instantly regret this phrasing. -- nm - David Nov 29, 09:10 1
        
        heh -- nm - Archer Nov 29, 09:20
        
        This is annoying in that it means we will not see the deaths I was expecting in IW. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:04
      - Hmm. That article trumps your IM with “Avengers: Infinity War Part II,” has now been renamed as an “Untitled Avengers” project. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:01 1
        
        It's kind of like saying that the Untitled Han Solo movie isn't happening because they decided to do "Solo: A Star Wars Story" instead. -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 09:04
- And what about the Justice League sequel? -- nm - Zack Nov 29, 08:56 1
  - "Wonder Woman And Some Other People Who Aren't Important" -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 08:58

Meghan Markle was one of the ladies on Deal or No Deal.... -- (link) - Remlik Nov 29, 08:49 2
- I *know*...but she was no Anya. - David Nov 29, 09:02
- I like the " started from the bottom, now we're here" - Epiphany Nov 29, 08:52
A quick thought on the quickening pace at which powerful men are losing their jobs due to their harassment of women. -- (edited) - TWuG, neck model Nov 29, 08:49 3
- I disagree with Franken resigning. I just don't see any of his allegations being in the same realm as these others. It can't be (or shouldn't be) a - pmb Nov 29, 09:21
- interesting take - I agree. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 29, 08:53

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed Alberta-based judge Sheilah Martin to the Supreme Court of Canada. -- (link) - Beaker Nov 29, 08:48
*waiting by the phone* -- nm - Bob Costas Nov 29, 08:44 3
- They tried to dump Lauer for Anderson Cooper a few years ago. I'm guessing they angle for somebody like that. -- nm - David Nov 29, 08:57
- I think the job goes to Willie Geist. He's been in the weekend role for that. - pmb Nov 29, 08:47
- Good luck with that. -- nm - Bryant Gumbel Nov 29, 08:45
This Seinfeld quote becomes more and more true to life.... - Beaker Nov 29, 08:44
Dan Schneider: still not wrecked yet. - David Nov 29, 08:38 13
- You *KNOW* a number of outlets are probably doing the legwork right now. NYT, New Yorker, Variety... someone wants this story bad. -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 08:58
- He must still have powerful people protecting him. -- nm - Inigo Nov 29, 08:43
- this is the creepy nick foot guy? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:41 5
  - This article seems to cover all the bases. -- (link) - Mop Nov 29, 08:57
  - Gibby! -- nm - Qale Nov 29, 08:47
  - Yes -- nm - Roger More Nov 29, 08:46
  - I...dunno. He's the Nickelodeon producer who preys on underage wannabe starlets and allegedly impregnated Britney Spears' younger sister. -- nm - David Nov 29, 08:45 1
    - ewwwww -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:48
- we talk about this *all* the time. wtf, people?? -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:39 4
  - I actually wonder if it's too target-rich an environment. They might have too many leads to follow. - David Nov 29, 08:41 3
    - And he's not as famous as those fallen. -- (edited) - spamlet Nov 29, 08:59 2
      - He's pretty critical to Viacom's earnings, though. -- nm - David Nov 29, 09:01 1
        
        Right, but you want hits and Dan Schneider doesn't get you hits like Matt Lauer does. - spamlet Nov 29, 09:15
I wonder what the impact is of Casey Neistat's recommendation on a place like Bubby's Pie Company in Tribeca. -- (link) - Mop Nov 29, 08:35 3
- If not for you, we would never have heard of it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:39 1
  - That's fine. But today, there'll be a line outside the place. -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 08:46
- Looks like he's doing Hot Ones tomorrow. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 08:37
One of my favorite things about being an author is having to decide if 'shithead' is one word or two. -- nm* - Qale Nov 29, 08:32
When you've missed your flight but you've got a wingsuit... -- (link) - Mop Nov 29, 08:28 [youtube] 1
- pff, 007 did that in a regular suit. -- nm - Max Nov 29, 08:51
[deleted] 10
- A bunch of effin a-holes. -- nm - CQ Nov 29, 08:31
- I hate the straw man of "welfare". There is no "welfare". Unless we start cutting medicare/medicaid and social security. -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 08:29 2
  - Wait for it... -- nm - znufrii Nov 29, 08:31
  - he said, we're doing it, but blame this guy right here -- nm - GOP Nov 29, 08:30
- Liars and thieves, the lot of them. -- nm - znufrii Nov 29, 08:27
- At least in this case the tax cut is currently unpopular in polling. When has a tax cut ever been unpopular. - pmb Nov 29, 08:25 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - I don't want to oversell my optimism. I'm not that optimistic. It's just that in this case the Republicans are proving inept at a scale we haven't - pmb Nov 29, 08:43 1
      - [deleted]
- I hate Americans, I hate America. -- nm - Ariana Grande Nov 29, 08:19
Hey Pippy from b2 - eag Nov 29, 08:15 2
- Pippy is smart. Why was this in question? - Spawn Nov 29, 08:28
- Heh - Epiphany Nov 29, 08:26
In looking at the ST archives, the one I'd forgotten was Jenna Wolfe. - David Nov 29, 08:11 31
- I've still always had a hard time reconciling the type of behavior attributed to him with the obvious fondness his on air colleagues (other than Ann - pmb Nov 29, 08:19 8
  - Something I've always said is that when you're capable of more, half of it is bad. -- (edited) - David Nov 29, 08:25 6
    - was he runmored to have had an affair with curry? -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:26 5
      - Oh yeah. There were even revealed blind items about it. -- nm - David Nov 29, 08:27 4
        
        Really. I just thought the issue was that their ratings were tanking and he pushed her out. - pmb Nov 29, 08:29 3
        
        I'm actually over blind items since I think so many of them are total BS, but... - David Nov 29, 08:32 2
        
        That blind item was about replacing Ann Curry after she left, not about him having an affair with her. It suggests he had an affair with someone else - pmb Nov 29, 08:45 1
        
        Okay, I was reading about this like two hours ago, but I can't find it in my browser history now. Remind me in a few days. - David Nov 29, 08:58
  - I am right there with you. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:20
- I'm having trouble reconciling the idea that a guy fucking around in the office is automatically a sexual harasser; which actually is the issue here. - Will Hunting Nov 29, 08:16 20
  - if he's the star of the show and being at all coercive, there's a difference. I can choose to doorman my boss, but if my boss is aggressive at all - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:26 1
    - And 'lo, "doorman" becomes a verb. -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 08:33
  - part of the problem is that Lauer or O'reilly or a person like that is in a postion of power - Remlik Nov 29, 08:25 10
    - that is kind of the easiest place to do it though. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:26 9
      - it may be. But you shouldn't do it. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 08:38 2
        
        people should not smoke either...... -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:43 1
        
        oof. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 08:46
      - I'm kind of speechless at this. -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:34 5
        
        why, you spend hours and hours with these people, more than your family in most cases. - groiny Nov 29, 08:36 4
        
        sure, but look at the problems it causes. It's not worth it. If he wants to be a player, be a man and do it where it won't effect - Remlik Nov 29, 08:44 1
        
        for every problem, there could very well have been 10 non issues. - groiny Nov 29, 08:47
        
        yes, but in most cases you can't be fired or sued for jamming non-work people. like, he had to have known it was wrong. - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:39 1
        
        co-workers throughout history have been jamming. - groiny Nov 29, 08:41
  - I'm sure it is more than that -- nm - ty97 Nov 29, 08:22 4
    - I presume as well, but the stories were him whoring around - Will Hunting Nov 29, 08:25 2
      - Yes, but if he tanked the careers of his partners after it was over, that is actionable. -- nm - pmb Nov 29, 08:33 1
        
        or if he bolstered them (morales). -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:35
    - I am slightly pleased that I no longer work at the bank, where the female to male ratio was like 20 to 1. - groiny Nov 29, 08:24
  - For sure. Just like what Franken did is not what Moore did. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:17
  - yeah, this is my thinking as well. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:17
- Which STer was she? -- nm - WST Nov 29, 08:13
There is an exchange is Dark Knight that encapsulates a WB problem. - Spawn Nov 29, 08:04 27
- Speaking of the Dark Knight... -- (link) - Shaun Nov 29, 08:15
- Hmm. - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:07 3
  - Exactly. - Spawn Nov 29, 08:11 2
    - Does JL have it's climactic battle end in the 30 seconds of darkness right before a blazing orange sunrise? - Will Hunting Nov 29, 08:24 1
      - Nah, that's too subtle for JL. They just went full-on blazing orange CGI. -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 08:41
- but, with Batman, it makes perfect sense. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:07 21
  - I am using it as a metaphor. (Yes, with Batman it is correct. In the comic, he avoids JL set appearances, etc). -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:10
  - Right? He’s the terror that slaps in the night. - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:07 19
    - If you compare JL trailers to that Avengers trailer it is *literally* night and day! -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:14 18
      - Except when it’s night (Homecoming had some of that). And Marvel is even better at that. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:15
      - compare Avengers to EVERY Zach Snyder movie. - groiny Nov 29, 08:15 16
        
        So, we are in agreement. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:16 15
        
        I think we can all agree that his films have a distinct pallor. It’s just that Batman is supposed to be a creature of darkness. - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:20
        
        on the look of the movies, of course. - groiny Nov 29, 08:18 13
        
        It's like he's married to the visual style of 300 and hasn't adapted. - Shaun Nov 29, 08:21 2
        
        Which is doubly bad given he's only really earned his career via visuals. - Will Hunting Nov 29, 08:27 1
        
        True. 300 worked amazingly well because he almost literally ripped the visuals directly from the comic. - Shaun Nov 29, 08:28
        
        Superman, Wonderwoman, Cyborg, Flash and Aquaman. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:20 8
        
        well, I am more talking Man of Steel and BvS than JL here. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:21 7
        
        Past mistakes are past mistakes. I am talking JL vs Avengers right now. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:24 6
        
        They had already sunk everything into Snyder, they had 3 movies worth of visual style built in, impossible to change course now. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:25 5
        
        Yes and no. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Lets do it again!" - WB -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:27 4
        
        Didn't they basically sign him up front for multiple film deals? - groiny Nov 29, 08:33 3
        
        I wonder how much that costed them in BO.. - Marlowe Nov 29, 08:39 1
        
        Imagine if they had dumped Snyder and got Whedon. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:59
        
        When you have this much riding on it, you find a way. - Spawn Nov 29, 08:38
        
        right to your im last line. -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 08:19
Page Six: Lauer allegedly sexually assaulted an NBC staff member during the 2014 Olympics (nmbl) - Brian Nov 29, 08:04 7
- Um, this was reported at the time, IIRC -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:10 2
  - Accused of rape nearly 4 years ago, and he gets off the hook until now? -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 08:37
  - I thought you were confusing it with your 2010 post...but nope! JenBro posted a 2014 Olympics article that was later taken down. - David Nov 29, 08:19
- The thing I keep thinking is, there was Matt Lauer for the last several weeks reporting these stories of Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, even Charlie - pmb Nov 29, 08:09 3
  - How do you 'get ahead of the story' if you did that? He was presumably hoping it did not come out. -- nm - ty97 Nov 29, 08:17 1
    - Acknowledge past indiscretions. Seek treatment. There is a well-tested course of behavior for this to try to salvage a career. - pmb Nov 29, 08:21
  - But the girls I do it to like it. -- nm - Scumbag men Nov 29, 08:11
