      - And the message Trump is sending is clear as can be. -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 08:06 1
        
        is it "do you like me, check yes or no" ? -- nm - Truman Apr 13, 08:16
    - oh yeah, I dont agree he didnt do that, as he was convicted and his former bosses boss refused to pardon. -- nm - Truman Apr 13, 08:01 7
      - I thought it came out later that Richard Armitage was the source of the leak. Scooter was only involved in the cover-up, from my recollection. -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 08:03
      - nmbl -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 13, 08:03 5
        
        yes, but scooter wasnt convicted of the leak, he was convicted of lying because he "remembered things differently" - Truman Apr 13, 08:06 4
        
        Right. So calling him a liar is accurate. Calling him a leaker is not. - Strongbad Apr 13, 08:26 2
        
        I feel like you are missing the point that he was also a leaker, just not the leaker in this situation. - Truman Apr 13, 08:37 1
        
        Richard Armitage admitted he was the initial leaker in 2003. - Strongbad Apr 13, 10:02
        
        but...but....but....*WITCH HUNT* -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 08:07

I just re-listened to Carly Rae Jepsen's two albums. She deserves so much better. These are basically pop perfection. -- nm* - MDH Apr 13, 07:33 28
- She also had the true song of the summer (except straight women made sure it was that awful Ed Sheeran song). -- (link) - MDH Apr 13, 07:58 [youtube] 2
  - You need to accept that straight people have bad taste in music. - ty97 Apr 13, 08:11
  - damn those dastardly straight women! -- nm - decline Apr 13, 07:58

  - There's a reason she's headlining gay pride all over the world. get with it ty97. -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 07:38 3
    - I'm not a milennial like you. Old people like me and Dawson don't know how to 'get with it'. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 08:01 2
      - I didn't think millenials knew about albums? -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 08:05 1
        
        Unless they get one for free and then bitch about it being in their library. -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:08
  - I think he means her two *songs*. - Spawn Apr 13, 07:38 16
    - I can't really speak to it personally because I haven't listened, but I can say that those albums (particularly the second, which got little airplay) - pmb Apr 13, 07:46 5
      - That is pretty cool. She is what, 17 now? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 07:47 4
        
        i know you're kidding, but i googled. She is 32. -- (edited) - Andie Apr 13, 07:50 3
        
        Her Canadian Idol season must be what, like 15 years ago now? -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 07:55 2
        
        11 years. She was 21. Crazy to think she's 32. -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 07:58 1
        
        Maybe. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 08:10
    - So one more than Kylie? -- nm - JaxSean Apr 13, 07:45 7

        For someone who goes to a lot of concerts, he might want to consider going to a good one. *Shrug* - MDH Apr 13, 07:53 4
        
        I don't want to go to a one-song concert!! - JaxSean Apr 13, 08:04 3
        
        no, you go to concerts of people who have never had a hit. - ty97 Apr 13, 08:06 2

      - Hmm. I know that THANKS really, really, really, really likes her. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 07:44

Marvel's Cloak & Dagger promo. -- (link) - Shaun Apr 13, 07:28 [youtube] 5
- I do not like the... lack of a cloak. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 07:33 4
  - there is another promo running on Freeform that shows him with the cloak -- nm - decline Apr 13, 07:37 1
    - Yeah, I think at the end of this one we see it from afar. But as I said below, I remember it as being part of his power. Looks like they are more - Spawn Apr 13, 07:40
  - Maybe it'll take a bit of time for the proper outfit, like Daredevil S01. -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 07:34 1
    - I figure, but I visualize him almost not having a body. Just the void under the cloak. - Spawn Apr 13, 07:35

    - wait what - Jovian Apr 13, 07:54 1
      - Unblocked! WooHoo!!! - Spawn Apr 13, 07:55
  - Today -- nm - not sycor Apr 13, 07:46
- non-sequitur. I want a Land of the Lost movie. - ty97 Apr 13, 07:23 8
  - I think I watched it and it was horrible except for maybe one part. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 13, 07:32
  - ty97 turned into pixie... rather quickly, actually. -- nm - Spawndroid Apr 13, 07:25 6
    - You take that back. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 07:28 5
      - Okay. It did take a little while. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 07:31 4
        
        I thought he just changed his username. -- nm - jnine Apr 13, 07:38 3
        
        I might be able to see pixie killing ty97 and taking over his identity. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 07:41 2
        
        That got dark - ty97 Apr 13, 07:50 1
        
        That is where pixie lives, now. - Spawn Apr 13, 07:54
- The trailers make it look... not sucky? Still there's no way I would go see it without some good WOM. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 13, 07:23 6
  - The reviews I've seen have been good. -- nm - Ender Apr 13, 07:38 3
    - yeah, the one I posted on B2 made me decide to watch it -- nm - decline Apr 13, 07:39 2
      - Has it started yet? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 07:42 1
        
        Started today -- nm - not sycor Apr 13, 07:45
  - Go? It's on Netflix. (But agree on the trailer.) - JaxSean Apr 13, 07:31 1
    - My mistake, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 13, 07:41
- DANGER! DANGER! -- nm - Spawndroid Apr 13, 07:22
In a 1994 Gallup poll, 17% of Americans did not know what the Holocaust referred to -- (link) - ty97 Apr 13, 07:17 1
- (I despise milennial bashing BTW) -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 07:17
The study itself says they surveyed people 18 and over, so apparently they're counting 18-year-olds as Millennials. -- (link) - mara Apr 13, 07:13 6
- That doesn’t sound too much of a stretch, though they’re likely on the cusp of whatever generation comes next, once we decide on a name for it. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 13, 07:18 4
  - No, I guess not. But really the point is that on the other end, they may be in their 30s, so a huge majority of them have complete high school. -- nm - mara Apr 13, 07:27
  - Agreed, I was 'Gen Y' in college. That no longer even exists. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 07:21 2
    - Gen Y is just the old name for Millenials... -- nm - Ender Apr 13, 07:39 1
      - Not really. I got re-classed into Gen X - ty97 Apr 13, 08:09
- They were born in 1999 or 2000 so it makes sense -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 07:18
I could not tell you how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust. - ty97 Apr 13, 07:11 7

- I know that, but I could not tell you how many Americans were killed on 9/11. -- nm - Spawndroid Apr 13, 07:24 3
  - 2996 -- nm - decline Apr 13, 07:25
  - I know the number from WTC, but not the Pentagon and the planes. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 07:25
  - without googling, the number in my head is 3100 ? -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 07:24
- 6 million is the official estimate -- nm - decline Apr 13, 07:13
- 6 is the number I use (it gets more complicated when you start bringing in the other groups they targeted) -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 07:13
Bayern vs Real Madrid and Liverpool vs Roma - who ya got??!! -- (link*) - Beaker Apr 13, 07:11 3
