- I need to lose as much weight as I can before January. We've booked time at a "super inclusive" - oblique Nov 9, 09:11 6

  - too left wing? -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 09:12 21
    - [deleted] 3
      - The world reporting is basically why I read it. Obviously it's a pro-market magazine, but I think it's fair in its reporting (but not objective) -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 09:23 1
        
        Yep, I appreciate that it looks at more the just the US (or US and Britian). - ty97 Nov 9, 09:24
      - This post is amazingly....correct. - ty97 Nov 9, 09:17
    - they tend to be left-wing socially, right-wing liberally. you know... - TFox Nov 9, 09:13 16
      - I'm half-joking - I read it every week - but I've seen editorials advocating universal healthcare and protecting large bonuses to bankers -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 09:17
      - they trust the markets too much for my taste. - ty97 Nov 9, 09:14 10
        
        to their credit, they have backed off that some post-collapse, and acknowledge that regulation can make some sense, if done thoughtfully. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 09:16 9
        
        What I've read of the Berlin Wall issue seems to sound like more of the 'trust the market' they are known for. - ty97 Nov 9, 09:19 7
        
        I think their points recently tend toward "in most cases we trust the market except where it doesn't make sense..." - TFox Nov 9, 09:22 6
        
        So, basically, they are saying "oops, should have regulated those banks some a few years back" - ty97 Nov 9, 09:23 4
        
        Actually, they were pretty much saying it at the time - that things weren't sustainable, that mortgage-based securities was too obscure, etc... -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 09:26 2
        
        But were they calling for regulation, or just expecting the banks to fix it themselves? - ty97 Nov 9, 09:28 1
        
        They rarely advocate for regulation, for sure, but regulation has lots of unpredictabe consequences, especially on the political side - Roger More Nov 9, 09:35
        
        it's not like they were the lone voice of getting that one wrong. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 09:26
        
        (i suck at typing today. there should be an "intervention/regulation is clearly..." up there.) -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 09:22
        
        [deleted]
      - "right-wing liberally"? i'm just lucky i wasn't talking about gay sex like groiny. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 09:13
      - Right-wing liberally......ummm...wanna try again? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 09:13 2

  - My other option was (Time? Newsweek?) with a cover story "The State of Hilary" - ty97 Nov 9, 09:11
Steam requires the Steam app to be installed (not a big deal) and actually I like it as a distribution method - oblique Nov 9, 09:08 4
- so basically, if you buy through steam, that retain your license? - tRuMaN Nov 9, 09:11 3
  - I'm sure not at the same time, but yeah, I have my old purchases waiting for me -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 09:12 2
    - hmm, cool. but do I need a steam account to buy a steam gift? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 9, 09:12 1
      - Probably (not sure) -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 09:35

    - There was 2:06 left which was even dumber. -- nm - Shaun Nov 9, 09:13
  - Dumbasses. They need to get their shit tight over the bye. -- nm - Shaun Nov 9, 09:07 22
    - I absolutely love that many people are using this phrase. It sums up so much -- nm - CQ Nov 9, 09:07 1
      - good times, good times -- nm - con_carne Nov 9, 09:09
    - well, they could be the Bears.... nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 09:07 19
      - There's always next season... or maybe the one after... *ugh* -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 9, 09:19
      - Basically the same boat. -- nm - Shaun Nov 9, 09:10
      - Ya know...I was all kinds of excuses for Cutler even after we traded him...but the fact remains... - Jim Nov 9, 09:09 16
        
        He had a tremendous game yesterday. It wasn't him giving up 41 points and punching guys wearing helmets. -- nm - David Nov 9, 09:24 1
        
        *this* Even LaGarrette Blount had the good sense to wait till a guy took off his helmet. (nm) - musubi Nov 9, 09:28
        
        Wait, didn't he have a winning season at Vandy? (nm) - musubi Nov 9, 09:13 4
        
        no, he didn't. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 09:29 3
        
        Really? I coulda sworn they went to a Bowl his senior year. - musubi Nov 9, 09:30 2
        
        we went to a bowl last year, after he left. before that, our last bowl was when diet Coke was invented. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 09:32 1
        
        I stand corrected. *tips cap* (nm) - musubi Nov 9, 09:33
        
        After years of Grossman and Orton and McNown..... - groiny Nov 9, 09:12
        
        He's fine. When the worst running team in the NFL runs all over you, your D needs a serious kick in the ass -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 09:10 7

        heh. I shouldn't laugh, but that's funny -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 09:19 2
        
        I only saw "highlights", but did they ever show what happened that set Tommie Harris off like that? - musubi Nov 9, 09:25 1
        
        *jets cross-country to get in the middle of that too* -- nm - DeAngelo Hall Nov 9, 09:28
        
        this is true -- nm - oblique Nov 9, 09:14
        
        yes, this is accurate. - groiny Nov 9, 09:13
"I'm talkin' about 1.21 jizzawatts!" -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 09:03 4

  - Just give me the first five words of that post, change it to present tense. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 09:12 2
    - yeah, eff her. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 09:14 1

        less Zmed, more Pfieffer. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 09:25
      - That just proves you have awful taste. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 09:14 4
        
        maybe if you just swallowed instead of gargling with it..... - groiny Nov 9, 09:15 3
        
        So, you embarass yourself on Board 2 and still you continue down this joke path? How sad. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 09:20 2
        
        who's joking? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 09:24 1
        
        You're like the Andy Dick of ST jokesters. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 09:25
