Re: To the extent it comes up: Trump crap post-WH years
I’m a Sebastian Stan stan. Yeah, I misread that tweet as implying that Stan thought it would be a flattering portrayal and I was very confused. Glad I had that backwards. If the actor thought it was going to be a flattering portrayal and it wasn't, either it's the worst actor of all-time or the wor...

It will never not piss me off that some stores that offer gift cards will only apply them to the full price price plus sales tax instead of to the item(s) before tax is calculated. And then these same stores have the nerve to add on an additional charge because you pay with a credit card. Pretty su...

If I lived in your neighborhood and you put in a fucking charging station I might murder you in your sleep. It's not dead center in the neighborhood and you could wall it off.

It's tricky with Israel. If you criticize, say France, for their policies, nobody calls you a racist or anti-semite. Of course, the vast majority of reasonable people can separate the actions of the Israeli government or IDF from all Jews (and Hamas from Muslims/Palestinians), but American politics ...

I figured it was a little less diluted than some sports. But I guess the same teams win all the "big" sports, too. One interesting thing with lacrosse is that it's spread all across the country at the high school level, but it's fairly stagnant at the college level because of Title 9 issu...
