If pacing is a problem with Breaking Bad’s first season, Better Call Saul offers no relief there. I love it, much more than I liked Breaking Bad, but the plot was a very slow crawl.

I don’t know if this is a joke or not. Elden Ring has Ghiza’s Wheel as a weapon and is low-key considered “Dark Souls 4” by many fans.

It’s dependent on a given state’s terminology. New York, for example, has villages. They’re municipalities that fall within towns, but collectively offer additional services that the town does not. So I could live in the village of Pomona, in the town of Haverstraw, and I’d need to pay taxes to the village and the town separately.

smokers got breaks.

When I quit smoking, I pretty much stopped going to parties, conventions, dance clubs, and concerts. Having an excuse to get out of the crowd and noise and decompress for ten minutes every couple of hours made “going out” so much more tolerable for me.

What expenses? If everyone is on a general strike, there’s nowhere to spend money.

And honestly, your suggestion sounds like we’re trying to trade one evil billionaire dictator for another evil billionaire dictator on the off chance that the new one won’t destroy the global economy as thoroughly. That’s not actually an improvement.

The old joke about the French diet: they just drink wine, eat baguettes, and smoke cigarettes, but all Frenchmen seem to live to 100.

Turns out having fairer labor laws and access to healthcare does a great job of prolonging your life!

I think of myself as the chaos engine that drives the plot forward. Everyone else in the party would just sit and talk plans forever if I wasn’t out here rolling death-saves.

Client-therapist privilege is foundational to how therapy works, but most states have laws saying a therapist must report admissions of abuse. I don’t see doctors rallying against those laws.

The Comedian was based on Peacemaker. The initial pitch was that all of the Watchmen would be DC’s (at the time) recently-acquired Charlton characters. DC nixed the idea, so Moore just tweaked them and renamed them.

In 2018, someone fired six bullets into the Albany Democratic Party headquarters’ front window. I don’t recall a single Republican denouncing the act.

The issue is that he’s only been indicted in New York, and New York abolished the death penalty more than twenty years ago.

The Feds would need to press their own charges if they wanted to pursue the death penalty, which they have not done yet. That’s the laughable part: they’re trying to dictate sentencing before they pressed charges, gathered evidence, or secured a conviction. And the only way to get a death sentence is by unanimous jury vote during sentencing, which, let’s be honest, is going to be very difficult to get rid Luigi.

I just watched the new episode this morning. Absolutely incredible.

The Beach was just too weird for the Titanic fans. It was right in the wheelhouse for Danny Boyle fans at the time.

Of course the book was better, but I really enjoyed the movie for what it was.

I collect spores, mold, and fungus.

Isn’t that exactly what happened, like, three weeks ago?

Your parents can disqualify you from student aid at any age. My brother went to community college in his 30s and still had to complete a FAFSA (including parental income data) to apply for assistance.

I read it as one person who really hates “pronouns” trying very hard to academically justify their bigotry.

He’s just Mister Oogie-Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas at this point.

Same. I haven’t been to Germany in 20 years, and I complain to my wife about craving döner at least once a week.

And progressive tax rates collected at the state level distributed based on student density and district need are better than both options.
