The gameplay of first person shooters usually comes down to players trying to center their screens on other players' heads. All these games consist of thousands of people alone at home in front of their computers, flailing the mouse and keyboard to make eye contact with each other.

@acrata It's actually 3 sets of double doors, so 6 doors total. Don't bother looking for pictures though. They apparently haven't been installed yet. Custom fiberglass doors and frames with glass transoms to the corner balcony. They sound lovely.

The shoebill would only bring new users as an insurance policy in case there was anything wrong with the old users, but wouldn't do anything for them. That is the nature of shoebills.

@troubleMoney @gargron @Vann In the second episode of the BBC nature documentary series Africa (accessible on Netflix in the US) there is a segment beginning about 15 minutes in on shoebills. In that segment the older of two newly hatched shoebills bullies the younger until the parents agree it would be best just to let the younger chick starve to death. Don't keep watching either, because it's almost immediately followed by footage of an elephant calf dying of thirst.

There couldn't be a better word for what one does with a job application than 'submit'. It feels like such an act of submission every time.

If herbal tea is tea, then chicken broth is chicken tea.

For those trying to make sense of Melania's Christmas decorations at the White House, here is a photo of how other Slovenians were gearing up for the season last week (seriously, it's called "The Hike of the Krampus of Three Lands"):

Many will quote Oscar Wilde that "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit." Oscar Wilde obviously did not anticipate Memes. For those quoting him, there is no excuse.

This week in laziness and privilege: didn't want to walk all the way to the grocery store just for toothpaste, went to the hotel across the street and asked concierge, was assumed to be staying in the hotel, received toothpaste, walked right back across the street to my apartment.

Bill Hicks did a great bit about the second case in his stand up.
"Well pretend you're working."
"Why don't YOU pretend I'm working?"

How crazy is it that there are so many people out there right now looking at the world in 2017 and concluding that Sensitivity is a bigger problem than Insensitivity?

Somebody should tell all the people speculating about whether Alabama would sooner vote for a Democrat or a Sex Offender that that election already happened a year ago.

Ass 'cheeks' should be called 'lobes'.
