Also we only need our penis once in a while. Having a lightweight retractable one is generally quite practical from an evolutionary perspective. Also I suspect the squishiness prevents injuries and infections better than a true boner would. Wales float. They don't have to worry about their boner bumping and scraping on the ground or on rocks.
I agree. We fight as a species and it's simply easier to fight without an erection that can risk harm to the "pass along my genes" organ.
You want one when you want one and any other time an erection is a liability.
The phrase "gird your loins" came about for a reason.
If it cost up to $8 to rent, then yes. Otherwise, hell no. There is no movie in existence that is worth renting for the prices in the story. $25 to rent a movie is insane. $50 to rent a movie is insanely stupid.
My home theater seats 14 fairly comfortably.
$25 for a large group of friends is trivial.
They're not even available later. They're not available at all. Look at all the Netflix movies that are only on DVD. Last night I looked for The Lobster and found it was only on DVD.
" A few kids out of 350 million people get shot by some crazy idiot who should never have been on the streets, "we need new gun laws""
What new gun laws were passed because of the Sandy Hook slaughter?
Try reading the post. He didn't say laws got passed, he said that lot of people, including the POTUS, wept and begged for massive new "gun control" laws.
Because something bad but really rare happened, we have to screw everyone else over.
The parent made a crystal clear analysis of the hysteria that seems to always follow very rare events.
If you're confident of that (as I am, actually), then you have nothing to fear from a recount, right? There's nothing wrong with double-checking tight races.
Unless you live in MN. We had both a Senator (Al Franken) and a Governor (Mark Dayton) lose and the Democrat controlled machine simply recounted over and over and "interpreted" the intent of votes until they won by a few hundred votes each.
Why?
Seriously, how is he even a patch on life long politicians who have been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people around the world like Bush and Hillary?
People that have added massive debt to the U.S. that has our kids names on the bills and forced crap like ObamaCare on us.
Oh, he MIGHT be as bad at some point? Perhaps, but he hasn't done anything yet.
...Of course, if the Dems win everything, then the troubles will go away, and she'll probably be able to serve two terms, barring issues with her health.
I agree, two life terms without possibily of parole would do very nicely.
And Al Capone was innocent of every crime except a tax reporting technicality.
Right, after all he was never convicted of murder, conspiracy to murder, illegal alcohol sales, prostitution, illegal gambling, bribery, intimidation, etc.
Here is a guy who's being audited by the Obama administration and has the full force of the Clinton political machine digging into every aspect of his life.
Man, he really must be squeaky clean if all they have is that he only paid the taxes he had too legally and he said "pu$$y" 11 years ago.
There are two types of movies being made now:
flash bang glitz that might benefit from a large screen but offset by garbage plot and dialog, not worth paying for so I watch at home
indie-ish movies with good story and plot but don't really benefit from the big screen so I watch at home
I have to disagree with that statement.
Take the recent film Rams, a very interesting Icelandic film. It benefits immensely from a big screen because of the fairly quiet nature of the film. Sweeping vistas in some shots, etc.
Seeing this on a tablet or computer monitor would be a complete waste of time. I have a 130" CinemaScope screen at home and that is, of course, the preferred venue, but a decent movie house will still be 100 hundred times better than a small screen someplace.
Nope. The studies have shown that the calories matter more than the makeup of them. All the issues with fat solids vs protein is from poor studies, not reality.
Wrong. This the same argument that claims that you can burn gasoline or wood in your car.
"BTUs is BTUs Man! No difference!"
The human body is an amazing thing to be sure, but the TYPE of fuel does make a difference.
And furthermore, fitness, in fact health in general, is one of those things that's hard to get and stay motivated for. Humans have very little incentive to go out of their way to stay in shape for most of their evolutionary history, so there's no one weird trick to the psychology for motivating yourself to stay healthy. Different tactics work for different people. If fitness trackers help 10% of the people stay motivated that's a success for those 10%, and the other 90% just need to try some other method until they hit on something that works for them.
The biggest motivator I have is a profile view in a mirror when I don't suck in my gut. Yikes!
In an earlier post I wrote about building a bunker for a rich guy in the '80s.
He couldn't build it in complete secrecy so tried to disguise it to the permit department as just a really big garage with a cool basement. I really liked the design process, scenarios, etc. I did have to draw the line when he told me that he expected me to break into city hall after final sign off and steal the blue prints that had been submitted.
I was a contractor in the '80s and I built a bunker for a client outside Atlanta.
He was convinced that everything was going tits up shortly, either from economic collapse or Soviet desperation.
He had flown off carriers during the Vietnam war and had gone through nuclear training. His training had basically taught him that in at least a limited nuclear exchange, most of the stuff simply wouldn't go off. Nucs, at least then, were delicate things that were expected to often be shaken enough in the boost phase that many simply wouldn't work.
It was a really fun exercise, to be honest. Studying how much concrete boils off from a particular size explosion, etc.
This thing had decontamination showers, weapon lockers, a buried well head, steel shuttered loop holes for firing at mutants, a secret passage leading to a door hidden behind a bookcase, the works.
Since he could pay for it from petty cash, it was no problem financially, just like the elite today.
Admit it, everyone here would do the same if they could. If for no other reason than the systems design exercise.
Better keep it secret!

...We can debate how much influence the Russians really did have, but I'd say the Wikileaks emails did Clinton tangible harm.
You mean lifting the rock to show a bit of the Democrat underneath?
An actual unbiased press should have done that but didn't.
It is abundantly clear that you don't know what fascism is. Maybe this will help.
Fascism is perhaps too strong a word to describe Trump's ideology. But authoritarianism sure does seem to fit.
Perhaps it's you that doesn't understand Fascisim. I suggest a well written and researched book instead of Wikipedia.
"Stronger together!" is classic Fascism. "I'm with her!" is classic cult of personality associated with Fascism.

Let's just say the whole Birther thing is a bit of a tell, then the not renting to black folks in NYC is kind of a give-away as well.
Yeah, the racist bastard!. And since the NYT is completely unbiased, everything is clear now!
she's a progressive. Not necessarily a great one, but she is at least trying. .
Trying what exactly? How fucking stupid that sounds.
"Progressive!" Someone with an IQ in the upper 2 digits or higher would take a moment and wonder towards what end is someone "progressing".
God, I get tired of hearing that phrase used to excuse the imposition of totalitarian stateism.
And the Orange Daddy earned every bit of it.

The hatred is astounding.
In Libya the western world organized and deposed a dictator as required.
Required by whom? Not me. Why the hell is it "required" to right all the wrongs in the world with which you disagree?

Hillary's emails. Or perhaps if used close up, her ethical sense.
Right, after all he was never convicted of murder, conspiracy to murder, illegal alcohol sales, prostitution, illegal gambling, bribery, intimidation, etc.
Clean as a Clinton!
Thanks, Obama.
Letting untrained pilots fly higher than three feet off the ground will require the addition of a new category to the Darwin awards.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Or maybe Assange has an agenda.
You seriously think Trump is clean?
Actually, yes, at this point.
Here is a guy who's being audited by the Obama administration and has the full force of the Clinton political machine digging into every aspect of his life.

The real issue is global overpopulation, and until we're ready to let natural Darwinism supersede political correctness, it's not going to change
We're doomed! Doomed I tells ya! Run away population growth
I know man, right? Along with "and" and "the" and "is", etc. Those racist bastards all use that language in their hate filled diatribes!
