I just got the replacement for my expiring credit card. The new card doesn't have the number on the front. It's weird. -- nm - prayformojo Nov 14, 08:17 17

- It's a Trap! -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 08:23

- That reminds me... my current card is getting kind of ratty, time to order a replacement. -- nm - Ender Nov 14, 08:19 3
  - I order new Discover cards every year or so. Just to change the designs. -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 08:20 2
    - I like my design, so I always keep it the same, but the front starts to peel off at the corners after about a year. -- nm - Ender Nov 14, 08:21 1
      - My wallet one stays the same (black with initials), but my car one I like to change up (Union Jack currently). -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 08:23
- Number on the back? Yeah, mine have had that for a couple years. - Spawn Nov 14, 08:19

  - I agree with your IM, especially after his comments on method actors. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 14, 08:30 5
    - Counterpoint ... - Beryllium Nov 14, 08:36 4
      - Does Hanks say that he does nice things because he's being method? - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 14, 08:41 3
        
        Your IM is why Pattinson's statement is so very good. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 09:46
        
        No, I'm really a bad person but that's how committed I am to my craft. It's like in The Prestige. -- nm* - Tom Hanks si Nov 14, 08:47 1

Masked Singer from B2 (spec spoils) - Alex Wilder Nov 14, 07:57
Catching up on that Northwestern thing. Offs. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Nov 14, 07:51 20
- Not that it's good, but people grow out of this shit after university - Reagen Nov 14, 08:05 16
  - My take on this was shock that they would apologize for doing their job. If you are at a public protest, you may get your picture published. - zunkskunk Nov 14, 08:24
  - There still should have been an adult in the room to tell them that apology was ridiculous. -- nm - Ender Nov 14, 08:13 2
    - Agreed. I just don't think it signals anything larger about society. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 08:17 1
      - *ding* -- nm - mud Nov 14, 08:36
  - Your over justification of this kind of stuff is getting more and more extreme, IMO (respectfully) -- nm - JackDawson Nov 14, 08:10 3
    - I'd conversely say the same for you and feel I've been consistent in my messaging. - Reagen Nov 14, 08:13 2
      - How so, though? Every example that comes up is more and more extreme and you defend it. I'm not reaching to defend more extreme positions - JackDawson Nov 14, 08:19 1
        
        1) I've defended nothing. These guys are being stupid and ridiculous. (edit because letting autocorrected to lying, which is... yikes) -- (edited) - Reagen Nov 14, 08:27
  - Sure, but it’s also of a piece with the broader generational archetype JackDawson laments below. -- nm* - znufrii, human scum Nov 14, 08:07 7
    - I'm saying this repeats for every group of 18-25 year olds just like puberty repeats for every group of 13-18 year olds - Reagen Nov 14, 08:09 6
      - We were ridiculous about so many things but not that in college, you can't really make this argument to sweep it under the rug - JackDawson Nov 14, 08:13 5
        
        Yes, and I'm saying that I remember similar sounding things during my period of university in the late 90s. - Reagen Nov 14, 08:15 4
        
        The elevation of individuality based on entirely subjective and often self-serving feelings already made sensitive by over-bearing parents is unique - JackDawson Nov 14, 08:20 3
        
        They are self centered, self important idiots. That is the condition of being in their early 20s. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 08:31 2
        
        Yes, but what are they being self centered self, important idiots about? - znufrii, human scum Nov 14, 09:00 1
        
        I don't see it as making a difference. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 09:02

  - Here -- (link) - znufrii, human scum Nov 14, 08:05

    - heh -- nm - mud Nov 14, 08:28
- Fun Fact: Disney got Charter to email me saying that I’d find myself in trouble if I continued to torrent movies after I pirated Tangled. -- nm - Qale Nov 14, 08:06 1
  - That's when you got a VPN? -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 08:07
- I love it. maybe they havent actually seen it -- nm - mud Nov 14, 07:48 3
  - I have only seen parts of it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 07:57
