Some company is marketing paper towel for home bathrooms to replace cloth towels. Sure assholes, let's waste more paper. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 12:55 1

        Pay attention, dingleberry. - musubi Sep 15, 13:20

  - So... - David Sep 15, 12:49 8
    - No, you'd need a question mark after the AISN like this: - JaxSean Sep 15, 12:53 1
      - d'oh. Good point, thank you. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:02
    - ooh, interesting. That's a tiny bug in the code right there. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 12:50
    - No, that didn't work. -- (link) - David Sep 15, 12:50 3
      - that's the one for the TiVo, right? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 12:54 2
        
        Yes. The kind folks at TiVo cannot imagine anyone ever needing more than 2 TB of storage. - David Sep 15, 12:55 1
        
        TiVo HiVe -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 12:59
    - yes -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 12:49
- add &tag=slack-01 to the URL I believe. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 12:47 2
  - looking at the url on the shop page, it would be slack01-20 -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 12:48 1
    - It didn't used to be that, did it? I know that's not what I used to type. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 12:50
sceire, yes. My baseball bat post was obviously meant as a joke, whereas - groiny Sep 15, 12:45 28
- It could have come out better and Loyola has form, but it was benign. -- nm - Roger More Sep 15, 12:50
- and, Dude, 'Chinaman' is not the preferred nomenclature. 'Asian-American', please. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 12:49
- Well...if he had the question and didn't know either name of the people involved, how should he ask the question? - Jim Sep 15, 12:49 22
  - really? this isn't difficult. "Whats the name of the rapper who interrupted the country musician?" - Guy Sep 15, 13:07 6
    - This is nowhere near as sensitive an issue in Ireland as it is in the States. -- nm - Roger More Sep 15, 13:14
    - [deleted] 1
      - i would refer to you as my "drunk friend" :) -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 13:12
    - That there could have been better ways to describe it does not mean that the way he did describe it was racist in tone -- nm - Stephen Sep 15, 13:09 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Right, because people are objecting to the musical descriptors used... - Stephen Sep 15, 13:28
  - there are a ton of better ways to describe it. - groiny Sep 15, 12:58
  - You didn't capitalize Caucasian, but capitalized African-American? How dare you. - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 12:50 13
    - black isn't an offensive descriptor. no one here insists on being called Caucasian. Caucasian is barely even a useful word. - TFox Sep 15, 12:54 10
      - your IM says it best. no one's bringing out the pitchforks, it was just a noticeable inconsistency -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 13:09
      - Maybe what Loyola was trying to say is that Taylor Swift is a country music singer while Kanye West isn't good enough to be considered a singer or - Jim Sep 15, 12:57 4
        
        i'm not a huge fan either, but it's not because he isn't good enough. he's plenty good enough. - TFox Sep 15, 12:59 3
        
        agreed, he is impossible to like, regardless of his talent. - groiny Sep 15, 13:00 2
        
        does ST know he recently released a remix of a Justin Bieber song with Raekwon from Wu Tang as a guest. - Guy Sep 15, 13:10
        
        that's a great analogy. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:01
      - Well, the fact that Taylor Swift is bland as fuck, with little to distinguish herself doesn't help who is describing her, either -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 12:56 1
        
        that would lend even more to the argument that she could have been "the tiny white chick". - TFox Sep 15, 12:58
      - Right, I am not all worked up about it, just kinda read a but ugly to me. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 12:55 1
        
        a "bit" ugly. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 12:56
    - White guilt comes out in all kinds of ways -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 12:53

  - I disagree. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 12:54
I hate that there is a future of warfare -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 12:45 2
- The day that the new Tetris outsells the new Halo... - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 12:47 1

musubi eats ketchup on burritos. I have proof! -- (link) - oblique Sep 15, 12:45 5
- It was a youthful indescretion that I immediately regretted. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 12:59 4
  - and do I need to bring up....hash browns! -- (link) - oblique Sep 15, 13:01
  - How do you explain Corned Beef Hash! -- (link) - oblique Sep 15, 13:01 2
    - Ketchup has uses! It should not be *loved*. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 13:05 1
      - I think you're a ketchup flip-flopper! - oblique Sep 15, 13:08
Lebron's popularity ain't polling so hot anymore. -- (link) - TFox Sep 15, 12:45

- It's a quarter off your Prime subscription. I think that's fair. -- nm - David Sep 15, 12:46 1
  - for a one day delay, sure. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 12:47
- mandy works at Amazon too? No wonder she's so busy all the time. -- nm - decline Sep 15, 12:46
- you should have asked for a hummer. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 12:46
- Isn't that, like, half the cost of the game? ($60 less $20 credit = $40 less another $20?) -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 12:46 2
  - Pretty much. I think it's fair. But: I'm never preordering something on their site ever again. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 12:53 1
    - well, duh. "I want this so bad! Mail it to me eventually!" -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 12:54
- i knew she was sending resumes out but . . . -- nm - bugsy Sep 15, 12:46
- that's 25% of your prime membership, eh? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 12:45
"NOW MY GOD-DAMNED CAT IS HOMELESS. ARE YOU HAPPY, AMAZON?" ... heh -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 12:43 1

  - I DEMAND RESTITUTION! nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 12:43
Reagen, you would be eligible and they've been doing a good one lately. - David Sep 15, 12:39 3
- It was Remlik asking. I don't have TiVo anymore. - Reagen Sep 15, 12:40 1
  - Look, all of you R people look alike to me. If that makes me 'R'acist, so be it. -- nm - David Sep 15, 12:41
