  1. you have to respect a woman who rocks a 2-liter soda like it's a bottle of Poland Spring she brought along for her afternoon jog.

  4. i totally agree. the first time i genophaged my crucible at the citadel, i was like Oh Shit now everybody's gonna get mass effected. best campaign ever imho.
  5. LOLOL knew you'd appreciate this as a golfer. i think you golf. i dunno, maybe i made that up.

  8. i just feel like if it's 2015 and you're going to an Afroman concert, you should really expect the unexpected.

  10. i'm actually pretty surprised so many people watch it across the pond. can i ask why?
  11. we're supposed to get two feet -- the important thing, though, is that there's no work tomorrow.
  12. i don't follow competitive gaming, but of the few clips i've watched this game is definitely memorable to me (especially the end).
  13. Let's just say I left you a Yelp review that's totally NSFW.
  14. kinda feel like it only takes one problem for the whole thing to fall apart -- nice idea, just dunno how long it'll fly. i'll say for my part that i've participated in monetary transactions with people here who i've come to trust, and the experience was great.

  21. http://foreignpolicy.com/2014/12/17/pakistan-peshawar-afghanistan-terrorism-ttp/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=*Editors+Picks&utm_campaign=2014_EditorsPicks_Promo+NYU17%2F12# "Pakistan’s military is learning from its mistakes in the past. But it confuses tactical with strategic gains. Pakistani TV channels, perhaps encouraged by the military, interviewed jihadi leaders such as Fazlur Rehman Khalil and Hafiz Saeed to get their response to Tuesday’s carnage. They were presented as legitimate religious leaders. But even though they condemned the school attacks, they regularly advocate violence against targets outside of Pakistan and are not among the country’s top clerics. It is but another reminder that the government in Islamabad has failed to effectively delegitimize jihadi violence against the state. Of course, that’s in part due to a long history of jihadism as an instrument of state policy. No remedy will be forthcoming until the nation’s leaders wake up to the reality that this double-edged sword vitiates the very idea of a sovereign nation-state, creates monsters that threaten Pakistan’s existence, and encourages Pakistan’s neighbors to give the country a taste of its own medicine. Military operations alone won’t make Pakistan safer. For the government to give its citizens the peace they deserve and earn respect in the international community, the business of jihad will have to come to a close." when i posted on this topic originally i'm not sure i really had a point . . . if i did though, this article crystallizes it into something much less offensive. hopefully. i mean, sure, we can feel sorry it happened and "unite" ourselves against killing children by sharing a graphic on social media or something equally meaningless (as if we really needed to unite on that), then proceed to forget about it. . . . or we can take this opportunity to have a difficult discussion about a complicated issue, and observe that the national reaction there has the potential to turn into a cultural wake up call.
  22. heh, yeah, "the guy i knew" probably would've thought that, too.
