Fine, I took the fucking candy from that fucking kid. So fucking what? His parents are probably gay-married and anti-2nd Amendment. - David Sep 25, 09:02 12

    - You forgot Shane and Stephanie. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Sep 25, 09:13

    - L3 -- nm - Pippy - booga boo Sep 25, 09:07
Folks, I'm releasing this cartoon drawing I just made of me, the child, and the candy. - David Sep 25, 08:59 3
- And there it is, right there in the corner. Family fucking Circus. -- nm - Qale Sep 25, 09:03 1
  - No, Olyphant! Ziggy! -- nm - David Sep 25, 09:05
- Like that bag you're holding literally says "a child's candy"! -- nm - Reagen Sep 25, 09:02
all this means you guys have moved on and i'm in the clear now, right? Bitchin'! -- nm - Kavanaugh Sep 25, 08:59
Destiny 2: In preparation for Stadia, I played 2 Gambit matches last night. 0-2. - Shaun Sep 25, 08:58
Folks, I'm being smeared by people who couldn't beat me in a rigged election. Don't listen to the leftists who are telling you the truth about me. -- nm - David Sep 25, 08:57 1
- That was like, ten lies! -- nm - Dr. Tran Sep 25, 09:02
Folks, I don't know where you're hearing this, but I would never beat up a child and take their candy. -- nm - David Sep 25, 08:55 2
- ... What is that you're eating right now? -- nm - Reagen Sep 25, 08:58 1
  - Whatever they say on Fox and Friends. -- nm - David Sep 25, 09:10
Spider Hulk Funko (Walgreens exclusive) in hand! Looks awesome (when I struck the deal I didn't realize it was a large one) - Beaker Sep 25, 08:40 1
- Well done honey -- nm - Mrs. Beak Sep 25, 08:54
I need to get my shit together. Feeling paralyzed at work by a couple large undertakings. I end up doing nothing instead -- nm - oblique Sep 25, 08:39 12
- "It would be nice to have that kind of job security." -- nm - con_carne Sep 25, 08:51
- I do the same thing sometimes. And I can't get past it until one becomes a crisis. -- nm - pmb Sep 25, 08:46
- So get your shit together, pick one and get to work - JD Sep 25, 08:46
- I am so there with you on this. -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 08:45
- I'm in the middle of a tedious task that will take me most of the next 2 days and the slog is killing me -- nm - decline Sep 25, 08:45
- This is me, sooooooo often -- nm - prayformojo Sep 25, 08:44 3
  - and then when I do get started, I usually see that it was 1/100th the task that I thought it would be, and I feel relieved but stupid -- nm - prayformojo Sep 25, 08:53 2
    - lawds yes -- nm - Pippy - booga boo Sep 25, 09:06
    - yep. -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 08:55
- I love doing nothing. I mean, I'm off Friday and tomorrow is a group function, so technically this week has been a write off -- nm* - Beaker Sep 25, 08:43
- I have this happen on occasion and completely sympathize. -- nm - David Sep 25, 08:43
- I have two tasks I need to do but I keep bumping them down my list to avoid them. Have been for a couple weeks, now. -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 08:41
I'm starting to wonder about the President's ethics... -- nm - David Sep 25, 08:39 1
- I know, right? I mean Sharpies? Those are so 4chan Up the Pooper. Everyone knows Highlighters are where it’s at now. -- nm - Qale Sep 25, 08:49

    - they do not...spoils - Chamberlain Sep 25, 08:48 1
      - cool, thanks; - Beaker Sep 25, 08:49
LIR Reagan and znufrii. Reagan: sorry if I was obtuse. My answer is that I’d place a wager confidently that there is a current crime - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:35 8
- So that's another benefit of this process to me - Reagen Sep 25, 08:38 7
  - heh, the Dick Cheney approach to hunting. (but I agree on the benefit) -- nm - Max Sep 25, 08:57 1
    - Especially with Rudy G Leroy Jenkins-ing it up on cable news. -- nm - Reagen Sep 25, 09:04
  - As a law enforcement attorney I won’t condone a view that says “let’s launch an investigation in hopes that they commit more crimes!” - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:39 2
    - Honestly I feel like the absolute opposite has been true here. They won't stop committing crimes long enough to allow law enforcement to either focus -- (edited) - pmb Sep 25, 08:44
    - I'm not saying do it *because* of that. - Reagen Sep 25, 08:42
  - I'm sure an actual crime*wave* is afoot right about now. -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 08:39 1
    - mmm hmmm - Pippy - booga boo Sep 25, 09:08
I am pretty sure we need to ban TWuG from ST for a day or two. -- (link) - Spawn Sep 25, 08:26 [Backboard] 4
- Learn how to use the internet. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 25, 08:30 3
  - I bet the top 5 in Flute Rankings in 2012 were all uggo's. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 25, 09:05

  - "Favorite Gadget: Kitchen Aid Mixer" -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 08:33
my house is old, a cottage, built in 1942. I need new HVAC and am thinking about mini splits. am I overthinking that the anachronism of the - amanda Sep 25, 08:24 16
- I googled. That is fascinating. Never heard of such a thing. -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 08:36 1
  - I had to google it also but then realized we use those in our wiring closets at work :) -- nm - oblique Sep 25, 08:38
- It would cost 10x the amount of money to retrofit an old house with ducting than it would to buy a mini-split. -- (edited) - Shaun Sep 25, 08:27 9
  - I need four in my house. sh*t is expensive. -- nm - amanda Sep 25, 08:28 8
    - How big is your house? -- nm - Shaun Sep 25, 08:29 7
      - it's a massive 1231 square feet. the original house is about 800 SF; it's the two additions/conversions that kill the air flow and make me get four. -- nm - amanda Sep 25, 08:38 6
        
        we use fans to blow the air around a bit (blows the air down the hall to the bedrooms) -- nm* - Beaker Sep 25, 08:46
        
        be sure to get multiple quotes from multiple vendors cause I wouldn't think you'd need more than 2 -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 08:45 4
        
        Depends on room configuration. I almost regret not getting a fourth unit in our kitchen even though it’s open to the living room which has one. -- nm* - Super Daddy Princess Sep 25, 08:47 2
        
        ... aren't you doing a refurb now? - Spawn Sep 25, 08:48 1
        
        We’re opening up the wall further and adding some additional insulation which should help. -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Sep 25, 08:50
        
        Agreed. 4 would be for like a 5000sqft house. -- nm - Shaun Sep 25, 08:46
- They're super common here and most older houses here don't even have a way to put ducts in (mine doesn't). - Reagen Sep 25, 08:26 1
  - thanks buddy. -- nm - amanda Sep 25, 08:27
- I don’t even notice ours most of the time. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Sep 25, 08:26 1
  - gotcha. -- nm - amanda Sep 25, 08:27
ha ha -- nm - multiverse of mudness Sep 25, 08:21
Nine times - oblique Sep 25, 08:16
Does the president think he released the transcript of a different call? Is anyone going to tell him? -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Sep 25, 08:15 53
- They are banking on the idea that they've slowly moved the bar to "every element has to be on tape, with absolute certainty of unambiguous meaning" to - pmb Sep 25, 08:20 47
  - Given that it is unlikely impeachment goes to the final stage in the Senate to out him, what is the victory criteria here? -- nm - oblique Sep 25, 08:21 46
    - I mean removal from office is my Kickstarter stretch goal but I've never had any real illusions it would happen with this Senate. -- nm - Reagen Sep 25, 08:25 43
      - I thought he meant victory for Trump. For victory for democrats, yes, it would be some idea that it would look so bad for republicans that they'd - pmb Sep 25, 08:27 42
        
        I have an inkling of an idea that McConnell bails on Trump if it seems likely to cost the GOP the Senate in 2020. - Super Daddy Princess Sep 25, 08:34 21
        
        I'm still betting he thinks the appearance of transparency will be enough to allow them to continue to gaslight. -- nm - pmb Sep 25, 08:35 20
        
        I think it will. I don't think this transcript moves the needle at all. -- nm - Inigo Sep 25, 08:37 19
        
        To me it’s concrete definitive proof of something, which is different than rank speculation - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:42 18
        
        I don't believe most people will see this as concrete proof he did something illegal. - Inigo Sep 25, 08:55 5
        
        your last line: and also the sitting party lost the presidency -- nm - decline Sep 25, 09:03 3
        
        Well, that was mainly cause Gore was a moron. - Will Hunting Sep 25, 09:07 2
        
        Gore was a bore -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 25, 13:41
        
        heh -- nm - multiverse of mudness Sep 25, 09:08
        
        You certainly do not have to convince me, who has never supported impeachment politically, that it is a good idea politically - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:59
        
        Exactly. These proceedings will be about something concrete that Trump did, vs Mueller Report. -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 08:44 11
        
        Mueller Report has tons of concrete stuff -- nm - multiverse of mudness Sep 25, 08:53 10
        
        concrete, like the shoes the whistleblower will soon be wearing... -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 09:01 1
        
        [snork] -- nm - multiverse of mudness Sep 25, 09:02
        
        Then concrete stuff that can be summed up in one simple sentence! -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 09:00 1
        
        yeah -- nm - multiverse of mudness Sep 25, 09:06
        
        The distinction I’m drawing is between seeing the actual picture of the body and a report describing the picture - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:56 3
        
        I am someone that thinks *everything* moves "the needle" because said needle is at the midpoint of the space between the camps and .. - multiverse of mudness Sep 25, 09:02 2
        
        Ok, I think I missed your point about the Muller report then, sorry -- nm - JackDawson Sep 25, 09:03 1
        
        just sayin' -- nm - multiverse of mudness Sep 25, 09:05
        
        But the Mueller Report is a long-ass document that even members of Congress haven’t read about things that happened years ago. This is LIVE! -- nm - Qale Sep 25, 08:54
        
        Yes, the Mueller Report is a tipping point in *any* normal situation. -- nm - David Sep 25, 08:53
        
        I think you’re setting the bar too high. This is the kind of stuff that is very damaging potentially for an election - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:30 19
        
        At a minimum, he certainly seems terrified of Biden. -- nm - David Sep 25, 08:45 1
        
        Yup. Weak. -- nm - JackDawson Sep 25, 09:01
        
        No, I agree with that. My IM was more my realistic expectation. Removal is pie in the sky. -- nm - pmb Sep 25, 08:34 6
        
        Show the people more actual instances of how corruption and abuse of power works and I’m confident enough will throw him out in 2020 - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:37 5
        
        Sure, but I'm sorry, I do not think it is unfair to be skeptical of information provided by this white house. They have shown every willingness to - pmb Sep 25, 08:41 4
        
        Absolutely, but just know that that skepticism does not translate - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:44 1
        
        I don't disagree with that. -- nm - pmb Sep 25, 08:46
        
        Of course. But the, sanitized, condensed version they think makes them look good is damning by itself. -- nm - Reagen Sep 25, 08:43 1
        
        Understood. Still makes you wonder if there's even more. -- nm - pmb Sep 25, 08:44
        
        Do you think impeachment in the House = actual corruption or actual criminal activity in the minds of most people? - oblique Sep 25, 08:33 7
        
        I think Clinton is extremely lucky that his impeachment happened twenty years ago. Today, Bush beats Gore in the popular vote following Clinton. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 25, 08:38 6
        
        Well, now the sexual harassment aspect of Clinton's issues would have gotten a lot more light. - Inigo Sep 25, 08:40 5
        
        ... like Trump's? -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 08:42
        
        Really, you think so? I mean, how many women have accused Trump? How many people has he paid off? And it doesn't even blip. -- nm - Chamberlain Sep 25, 08:42 3
        
        *ding*... but actually, as a D, yes. -- nm* - Spawn Sep 25, 08:42 2
        
        Yes, that's the difference. -- nm - Inigo Sep 25, 08:46 1
        
        Yeah, I forgot about the high ground aspect. - Spawn Sep 25, 08:49
        
        This is exactly where I am. I have no delusions that he'll be removed from office. I want enough damage to cost him 2020. nm - Chamberlain Sep 25, 08:32 1
        
        I think Pelosi was counting on him already being fucked in 2020. He's losing that election if it's held today *absent this* - Will Hunting Sep 25, 08:46
    - Acquitted by the Senate. "Total exoneration". -- nm - pmb Sep 25, 08:23 1
      - and all 53 GOP senators will burn in hell! -- nm - multiverse of mudness Sep 25, 08:24
- To wit -- (link) - Reagen Sep 25, 08:18 4
  - It would make for the shortest episode of Law & Order ever. -- nm - David Sep 25, 08:25 3
    - This entire presidency is "I never did/said such a thing. Fake news!" *reply tweet showing he did/said such a thing." - Tim Sep 25, 08:42 1
      - Trump's presidency has definitely caused me to worry more about some parts of society. -- nm - David Sep 25, 08:47
    - The trial scene in his A Few Good Men is about 30 seconds - Reagen Sep 25, 08:35
are we sure that the whistleblower isn't Jalen Ramsey? a whooooooole lotta stuff would fall into place.... -- nm - prayformojo Sep 25, 08:13 1
- Sue Gordon -- nm - Remlik Sep 25, 08:21
I had to stop watching the news when that guy from Mother Jones started quoting Nas. -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 08:12 1
- 6ix9ine and Im out -- nm - Prez Sep 25, 08:20
Ransom aside. 15-year-old me would never have believed how good I am at typing. -- nm - rollo Sep 25, 08:11
So LIR: dawson and ty97 - are you available to meet for brunch on Saturday? I think mel and I are meeting with krusty... -- (link) - Diva Sep 25, 08:09 [Backboard] 11
- This Saturday? I can meet. I have two friends in town from Mexico. They may be shopping they may join unless you don’t want more guests in which case - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:31 10
  - I would love to meet with your friends if they are around. I hate to ask, but you know much better than I - what would be a good place for a brunch - Diva Sep 25, 08:35 9
    - Oh not at all happy to give some suggestions what area is convenient to you and Mel given where you will be staying or where you have to be - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:38 8
      - We are staying in Theatre District and I have a matinee to attend at 2pm. We don't mind going downtown a bit for better brunch options. 10:30 am ok? -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 08:41 7
        
        That’s fine. Also you’re probably staying by me and ty also lives by theater district - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:45 6
        
        I forgot you are bunking there for now! If you think it best to brunch around there, that's fine with me. - Diva Sep 25, 08:49 5
        
        So we are neighbors. Sorry for the noise! Will revert back ASAP -- nm - JackDawson Sep 25, 08:52 4
        
        So let's keep it in the HK/Theatre District. Where's good? -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 09:01 3
        
        Yes for sure. There's a bunch of places. I think Pulqueria on 9th comes to mind? Toloache on 8th? Only issue is: do they open at 10.30 - JackDawson Sep 25, 09:05 2
        
        I can investigate. And 11 am is fine if we're staying in Midtown. -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 09:08 1
        
        Only Pulqueria I found is in the Bowery. Taking this to email - hope that's okay. -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 09:16
