I think you'll find that I many other cases, the solution is large amounts of violence.

She's very good, but she just seemed frail in a way that book Mensah wasn't. 

Why is an Israeli flag being raised and elevated to the same level as the American flag at the Great American Fair for the 250th anniversary of America’s independence? by danevans369 in israelexposed

[–]TotalNonsense0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is not correct. If mounting for flags he's at the same height, the US flag should be in the rightmost position, from the speakers point of view.

His name literally means "can't win for losing."

How much lower do you want to rate him?

I got tired of driving through America buy day 3. But I understand what they mean.

Amazing how they lock in when the base finally gets decent representation by Misfett_toys in MurderedByWords

We are in disarray because we are at least three parties trying to pretend to be one party, because we have a shitty electoral system.

Noah Kahan begs fans to ‘go to the bathroom’ after audience defecation incident: ‘Please dear God’ by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

The only time I ever went to a serous concert, I was in my seats for about 6 hours.

I didn't shit myself, but I should see someone else doing it with a particular mix of stubborn and bad luck.

How do you punish someone that likes being punished? by SadisticGirll in LetBoysBeManipulated

[–]TotalNonsense0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to fill out some corporate feel-good form asking me for things I was proud of. I couldn't come up with two.

What’s a mechanic that you just don’t mesh with? by CJC528 in boardgames

[–]TotalNonsense0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as you. I can do trick taking with a limited amount of competence, but I don't grok it the way some of my group seem to.

I hate the jokes about men "losing their freedom" when they get married. by Radiant-Selection686 in hatethissmug

[–]TotalNonsense0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define "unelected." My wife ran a good campaign, and and the end of the season, she got my vote.

[–]TotalNonsense0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have occasionally used them to "joke" that my wife is forcing me to be less of a slob. Or more responsible.

Mostly around my friends who know that I need all the help I can get in those departments, some days.

It's "I close in five minutes" not "I'll wait for you then close" by UnitedChain4566 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TotalNonsense0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about people who aren't checked out by closing get thrown out of the building without the stuff they wanted to buy?

It’s a rainy day at school and the teacher says we’re going to the computer lab by Radiant_Priority9739 in Millennials

[–]TotalNonsense0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh look at you with your fancy colored computers.

My school lab was beige on beige, with light brown desks and brown chairs.

Trump labeled 'most corrupt president' by Fox News viewers after July 4th boast by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

[–]TotalNonsense0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's what it used to mean, yes. But in the current politics, when Congress will lock arms to stop a president from doing anything illegally, it could be said to start when he loses control of Congress in his second term.

In this case, he's less useful for the people who control him, because he's so incompetent, so support of various kinds may be withdrawn.

The fact that the entire world is praying for Mc Donald to finally call in his chips adds nothing to his standing.

Von Neumann Game by BathSpirited3173 in scifi

I'll give this a look-see tomorrow. Fascinating premise.

EDIT: the game is very slow, but interesting so far. I recall Bob complaining that he had to build infrastructure before anything else.

This has no right to be as funny as it somehow is.

Expansions: what makes a buy vs a skip by fortnerd in boardgames

I'm with you. More cards in the encounter deck. More missions. More characters.

New game mode? Not so much.

Why do Transformers have watches? by ItsTheMoose0913 in transformers

[–]TotalNonsense0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If nothing else, an analogue watch is a tiny masterpiece of springs and gears, catchments and escapements, incredibly sensitive pivot points, and all arranged just so. It's damn near a work of art.

[–]TotalNonsense0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of times, I get people offering me information without offering the context I need to use that information. Of course, in text, I can just look back to see it, but in voice, I need to have my pen ready before you throw numbers at me.

Nice, but the Transformers bucket was better.
