- In 2007, I'd only played two of those so by default: Rock Band and Halo 3 - JD May 11, 09:11

Hmm, this is an interesting take. Possibly no help for tax-avoiding companies? -- (link) - Beryllium May 11, 08:49 1
- Er. Twist, or development, might make more sense than "take" here. I'm still half asleep. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 08:50

I'm now living in the money pit. Sump pump went out. Luckily it went out by making extra noise instead of silently going into the dark night and - oblique May 11, 08:29 11

Yo dawg, we heard you like games, so we put a game inside your game, so you can game while you game. - Qale May 11, 08:19 [Image]
Colorado restaurant illegally reopens with no social distancing for Mother's Day. -- (link) - loosilu May 11, 08:08 16
- One of my coworkers who had Covid is based in Colorado -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 08:44
- So that'll be a vector in coming days. - Mop May 11, 08:31
- "I’m so happy so many people came out to support the Constitution and stand up for what is right. We did our time" guessing they never really read it -- nm - colin May 11, 08:29 13
  - Doesn't that kind of comment make you want to slap them? -- nm - loosilu May 11, 08:45
  - I could vaguely, barely, minimally, understand opening up for a short duration. One day max. As a show of protest or demonstration. MAYBE. -- nm - Qale May 11, 08:32 11
    - there just no way to justify this - you become a danger to your family, workers, random people. this is flat out saying you don't care if people die. -- nm - colin May 11, 08:34 10
      - I quantified it as best as I could to give the idea (which isn’t even what they did) an out. -- nm - Qale May 11, 08:37 9
        
        I can't see any out. We already have numerous examples of one gathering causing a flareup. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 08:44 8
        
        Absolutely. I am not discounting that nor truly playing Devil’s Advocate. The restauranteurs should be charged. -- nm - Qale May 11, 08:48 1
        
        don't charge them, just make them go work a few shifts in a COVID ward. they're clearly not afraid... -- nm - colin May 11, 09:06
        
        i mean, the solution is the same as it always was.. tons of testing, isolation. but at this point, i think we're just going to see incredible levels - colin May 11, 08:48 5
        
        I agree with you. I wanted to leave just a extremely faint hint of room for protest, which I don’t even agree with. -- nm - Qale May 11, 08:50 4
        
        i think you can protest without hurting people. go stand out with a sign... but don't bring a bunch of people with you. do it solo. - colin May 11, 08:55 3
        
        Well I did say that they didn’t even do what I was trying to give space to. -- nm - Qale May 11, 09:07
        
        I like your IM - I wish I could expand our circle a bit - Pippy - can't seem to get it right May 11, 09:03 1

like you care: just cancelled HBO and signed up for HBO now so I can get HBO max. I still don't understand whether it was necessary. -- nm - amanda May 11, 08:07 10

  - oldies? OZ, Sorpanos, The Wire, Rome, Deadwood -- nm - Beaker May 11, 08:42 4
    - Most of that stuff has been on Amazon Prime. Have watched Deadwood (twice). Will at some point finish The Wire -- nm - JaxSean May 11, 08:47 3
      - I really liked Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind as well as I Love You, Now Die (especially the defense episode) - JD May 11, 09:04 2
        
        Do they get Wagner to confess? -- nm - Reagen May 11, 09:05 1
        
        Heh. Heh. Heh. The driving force behind the doc is Natasha Gregson Wagner and refers to Daddy Wagner and Daddy Gregson - JD May 11, 09:21

- Well, my heart is racing. JUST. LAND. ALREADY! -- nm - Mop May 11, 08:29
I suppose this is relatively quick in the cycle, but do reporters not get tired of being taken for fools by this admin? -- nm - Reagen May 11, 07:51 21
- in other news, Obamagate is still trending with over 3 million engagement. - Jovian May 11, 08:01 16
  - Trending is meaningless. Somehow the WWE manages to still get it done for RAW and Smackdown and nobody is watching those. -- nm - Qale May 11, 08:34
  - When Trump promised to Lock Her Up, I did not realize he meant everyone in America. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 08:10 10
    - no, like a true fascist, he meant everyone who is against him. - Jovian May 11, 08:28 9
      - when you say "likely" are you resigned to the idea he'll win it Nov 3rd? -- nm* - mud May 11, 08:31 8
        
        No. If its an normal honest no bullshit election, I think Joe is going to clean his clock. What I am resigned to is - Jovian May 11, 08:36 7
        
        Republicans think they're going to lose. To wit: -- (link) - Reagen May 11, 08:50
        
        I'm in the camp of - they just fix the results to say what it needs to say -- nm - Pippy - can't seem to get it right May 11, 08:40 4
        
        Elections are run by the states, though. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 08:49 2
        
        I don't trust them either -- nm - Pippy - can't seem to get it right May 11, 08:54
        
        Aren’t we currently missing someone on some federal board or committee that’s supposed to oversee them though? I’m sorry I’m not more helpful. -- nm - Qale May 11, 08:52
        
        yea but that would imply massive voter fraud on a scale never imagined before. I dont think anyone is capable of that. - Jovian May 11, 08:44
        
        i think ultimately they don't have the stomach for true violence.. there's a chance they end up in the crosshairs on that one, too scary. - colin May 11, 08:38
  - That’s almost though admittedly a tad slightly less crazy than thinking trump and family will eventually be arrested imprisoned too etc -- nm - JackDawson May 11, 08:07
  - which was begun in the middle of the night in NA, noon in Moscow, in response to his speaking out on that radio interview -- nm - mud May 11, 08:03 2

    - by bots -- nm - mud May 11, 08:04
- I think you’re totally misjudging their motivations. It’s been $$$$$$ since he walked down the stairs -- nm - JackDawson May 11, 07:58
- if one is asking a direct, tough Q to the fakeprez himself, the moment he realizes it he interupts & starts speaking over the reporter -- nm - mud May 11, 07:58

  - I like it, but I like Homecoming better. -- nm - Diva May 11, 08:31 3
    - Agreed. Homecoming got better with repeats. FFH did not. Both are great, though. -- nm - Spawn May 11, 08:39 2
      - I havent rewatched either yet, but this is what I'd expect -- nm - mud May 11, 08:41 1
        
        MK chews up the scenery. -- nm - Spawn May 11, 08:41
  - I loved it but it is one that does not stand-up as well to repeat viewings. -- nm - Spawn May 11, 08:30 4
    - I've seen it a handful of times now, and I disagree. It's been very enjoyable each time. -- nm* - Shaun May 11, 08:34
    - I’ll need to try but the kids are funny and the villain is a strong twist. - Will Hunting May 11, 08:31 1
      - Comics might have hurt me there. FFH spoil - Spawn May 11, 08:41
    - so you're saying if i haven't seen it yet, i shouldn't and just enjoy the idea of it existing? -- nm - colin May 11, 08:31

- Lots of Bob's Burgers and some Single Parents which I just started. I've been looking for a fun sitcom I hadn't seen yet. -- nm - Krusty May 11, 08:11 2
  - I love single parents. do you? (have you seen superstore?) -- nm - amanda May 11, 08:13 1
    - Superstore is funnier than it has any right to be. -- nm - spamlet May 11, 08:25
