    - They went for more than four hours without consulting their doctor about their caucus. Rough way to go. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 14:12 1

I need to lose like forty pounds so I would join the Diet Bet group, but my wife is going to Delaware for a trial for two weeks... - Mr. Havens Feb 4, 13:49 7
- Well ... how about ... eat better while she's gone. - Beryllium Feb 4, 13:55 3

- i hope everyone of those passengers sues him for the cost of their lost vacation time -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 4, 14:14
- What a fucking shitheel. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 13:41 1
  - In fact, don't even send him to prison. Send him to China to help the evacuees get in their planes. He can get the last one out. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 13:44
AOC will not attend the SOTU. -- (link) - Tim Feb 4, 13:27 15
- Am i wrong for thinking she should just suck it up and go? nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 14:00 8
  - It's damned if you do, damned if you don't for any Democrat at this point. -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 4, 14:09
  - you are not, she of course should go, cause now it just gives them (the fascists) more attack points. -- nm - Jovian Feb 4, 14:07 1
    - Like the fascists weren't going to give her shit anyway. Her constituents will love her for not going - TWuG Feb 4, 14:22
  - Everyone is welcome to their opinion, but I would not go. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 14:05 4
    - Like, I get the point she's trying to make. And in any other climate, it might hit. But in this climate, today, now - i don't think it does. - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 14:11 2
      - I honestly could not sit through one of his speeches without screaming at him. And *that* would be worse than not attending. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 14:21 1
        
        "You lie!" - TWuG Feb 4, 14:24

- I mean, I wouldn’t. -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 13:29 2
  - It is on TV. - zunk lake county Feb 4, 13:38 1
    - I like how we don't even poll this anymore because half couldn't give a fuck less and the other half is too depressed to tune in -- nm - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 13:38
When you return to ST, do you start at the newest & scroll back until you get to what you’ve seen, or start at the last thing you read & go forward? -- (edited) - Volnelk Feb 4, 13:25 14
- I start on Page 1, maybe scroll back one more page, and then see if anyone was talking about me... - Mr. Havens Feb 4, 13:43 2

  - so yeah! Volnelk - I got my eye on you *makes the fingers to my eyes and waves them about in your general direction* -- nm - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 13:37 3
    - You know what you did! - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 13:38 2
      - Haha. I’m scrolling back through posts. *where did I go wrong?* -- nm - Volnelk Feb 4, 13:40 1
        
        :P -- nm - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 13:42
- Newest -- nm - Krusty Feb 4, 13:30
- Roughly “newest and go back”. I’m on ST a lot, most of the time. When I miss something, it’s usually a big chunk and it’s hard to go back. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 13:28
- Newest and go back. -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 13:26 1
  - Same -- nm - Ender Feb 4, 13:27

- Simmon's (operator of lots of malls) is bidding Forever21, I suppose so they have at least one anchor store -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 4, 14:21

  - They have (had) two with one here as well. -- nm - Krusty Feb 4, 13:33

- So far, I've watched The Imagineering Story, and The Mandalorian. - JaxSean Feb 4, 13:18 5
  - I’m with Jax. Like I posted yesterday... I haven’t opened Disney+ in weeks. Last thing I saw was probably the Nutcracker and the Four Realms -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 13:25
  - I’ve watched Imagineers, some Marvel, Jungle 2 Jungle, and Avatar. -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 13:23
  - I don't get this. Why did you subscribe if you were not at least planning to dive into either Pixar or Marvel? - Spawn Feb 4, 13:22 2
    - I need to stop watching Ratatouille. It's starting to be unhealthy. -- nm - David Feb 4, 13:41 1

Speaking of Disney, how early is too early to start planning a possible fifth birthday trip to WDW for A, sixteen months from now? -- (edited) - znufrii, human scum Feb 4, 12:53 6
- Uhm, 2018. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 12:59
- I would say eight months out. Talk to me when you're ready. -- nm - David Feb 4, 12:55 1
  - *makes a note in his calendar* - znufrii, human scum Feb 4, 12:59
- you should have started when she was born -- nm - decline Feb 4, 12:54 1
  - No way you're going to get into a decent boarding group if you don't apply before they're born... -- nm - Ender Feb 4, 12:57
- I think David would tell you start now -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 12:53
And of course TSLA runs up another $40 after I hit the sell button. Ah well. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 4, 12:51
One poll never tells the whole story. You'll drive yourself insane if you react to every bit of noise in the signal. -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 12:50 1
- oh yeah, I don't even believe it. He's never been over 44% -- nm - mud Feb 4, 12:52

  - Vegetarians gotta eat. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 12:47

  - A Musical -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 13:21 1
    - Starring Kristin Chenoweth as Henry Fonda. -- nm - Diva Feb 4, 13:29
- I like the idea of jury duty. I hate doing it because everything.... takes.... forever......... - Beron Cherry Feb 4, 13:17 1
  - They should make it into an app -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 13:35
- Nice! At least we know there will be one competent person in the jury pool -- nm - Krusty Feb 4, 13:03
- Awesome! -- nm - JaxSean Feb 4, 12:47
- :( -- nm - decline Feb 4, 12:46
- I am so, so sorry. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 12:45 7
  - I acknowledge that I live in Hicktown, USA, so my experience is very different... but I really cherished my time on a Grand Jury. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 12:46 6
    - I am not gonna speak any more on this thread as I do not want to curse myself. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 12:47 5
      - I am currently immune unless I get, like, Federal jury duty. I’ve done city and county. Maybe state? I dunno. -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 12:56 3
        
        in san fran, you could be called up the next month, the city is relatively small with only 750,000 residents but a large footprint - zeitgeist Feb 4, 13:16
        
        my mom called me in *tears*...'son, what did you do? there's a federal summons here" I don't know if she thought I was drug dealing or scamming - zeitgeist Feb 4, 13:14 1
        
        Oh my on that second part. I mean, yeah, but... yeah. -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 13:30
      - Bacon wishes you never get called to jury duty. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 12:49
Now all this despot has to do, is just pretend to be Presidential tonight. - Jovian Feb 4, 12:37 16
- Oh, he is gonna victory lap the hell out of us. - Spawn Feb 4, 12:39 15
  - rumor is he's going to make a 'let's come together' speech -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 12:54 10
    - It would be the smart thing to do. nm -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 13:03
    - "come join me because I am great" -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 13:00
    - "..and do it my way." -- nm - . Feb 4, 13:00

      - yeah, riffing off something Van Jones famously said right after a teleprompted speech -- nm - mud Feb 4, 12:59
    - it would be the smartest thing he has done in 3 years. - Jovian Feb 4, 12:55 4
      - even if he does it, i would bet he will NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL himself and he'll go off script at some point. -- nm* - Andie Feb 4, 13:06 3
        
        Actually - we're due for him to stick to the script and have one of those weird sniff-speeches. nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 13:10
        
        He has, being generous, an hour of Statesman in him at a time. -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 13:10
        
        he only has to stay even keeled tonight and then somewhat normal for 7-8 months - Jovian Feb 4, 13:08
  - probably true. but he should start pretending to be for all Americans. He will be at 60% by October. - Jovian Feb 4, 12:43 3
    - I honestly think he might lose some of his base if he did that. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 12:46 2
      - nah. he doesnt have to start blowing the left. He just needs to stop attacking the left like the fascist that he is. - Jovian Feb 4, 12:52
      - certainement -- nm - mud Feb 4, 12:51
Jim - I was old as shit when he was born so I feel ancient now. :) Max, he still loves things solar system and maps (he’s freaking out at the map he - kelly Feb 4, 12:33 3

"Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!" -- nm - David Feb 4, 12:31
I'm thinking about buying a Nintendo Switch. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 4, 12:25 5
- Lite for $199 that doesn’t actually switch, or Switch for $299 that is the OG. -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 12:38
- Join us! Animal Crossing soon! - Dark Callisto Feb 4, 12:36 1
  - I've heard good things about it. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 4, 13:13
