  1. He panders to the racist, xenophobic and obviously under-educated demographics.

    And you say he's lost already? Do you know *where* he's running?

  2. Re:No liberal bias? on Facebook Offers Political Bias Training In Wake Of Trending Controversy (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, and if you think that "depriving humanity of another life" is "saving a huge expense"

    It rather depends on the life, doesn't it? A repeat offender spending most of his life in the slammer is likely an economic dead loss. A humble - but steady and honest - worker? Probably not.

    you obviously have no idea how retirement funds work in socialist countries.

    I totally do. What I don't understand is how it's any different in non-socialist countries.

  3. Mark Zuckerberg, David Schwimmer and Sarah Jessica Parker walk into a bar.

    The bartender says "Did you all get fired or something?", and they say "No".

    So he asks "So, did a relative die?", and they say "No".

    "Well, did your team lose?" "No!".

    "Well what's with all the long faces then?"

  5. Other ads make me go "Arrggghhhh!!!!!" and drive me to chopping up my TV with an axe!

    Google's going to bombard you with ads for TVs and axes now. Maybe anger management courses too.

    Disgraceful. You should have a good slug in your coffee when you arrive and not touch another drop till lunchtime.

  10. It's a statement about a possible future.

    In other words, just big talk. He won't, of course. He'll put up with it - just until the end of the current season of $foo, to see how it ends - by which time there'll be reruns of $bar, and in ten years he'll still be with them.

    As former UK P.M. Neil Kinnock said: "If everyone who said ''I'm never coming back here!'' actually followed through on it most businesses would close within a fortnight."

    Ever wonder what motivates people who swindle others on Craigslist?

    Could it possibly be money?

  15. Many moons ago, I was on the road in a hotel on a public holiday, worn out from the week before. I don't recall which historical epic I watched or whether it was TCM or HBO, but I was that bored I timed it and yeah, it came out to about a third ads.

  16. If Hulu Plus has commercials, what did you have to sign up to to get did of them - Hulu Doubleplus?

    And if so does ordinary Hulu have anything other than commercials?

    I'm sure some people would actually watch it in any case.

    The rest of the ads produced usually make me determined to not purchase the product tho.

    I think I read something once that said that even if you consciously think that, subconsciously it might still work.

    Then again, I might have just read something that made me think that.
