I feel like some enterprising lawyer could figure out some way to turn this into an insanely expensive lawsuit.

Sueven

I bought something.

Sueven

I have no opinion on any of this, but I just registered a new card on Amazon, and it didn't require me to provide any information whatsoever beyond number and expiration date, and it reminded me of this thread.

Sueven

I thought this episode was an improvement.

Aslanna: I agree with you. The "perfect diet," to the extent such a thing exists, is probably not a vegan diet. I don't think you can justify veganism on health grounds alone; you need ethical considerations as well. My point is that I think veganism is a reasonable choice, and, even if no...

Sueven

Despite not being a vegetarian I feel like responding to Winnow. 1. Chimps. Yes, chimps eat meat. Yes, ancestral humans certainly consumed meat and animal products. So what? I don't think that whether humans are 'naturally' vegan or vegetarian is a serious part of the argument for veganism. I know t...

Basil is pretty easy to grow. Throw it in a pot; make sure it has enough water and sun; give it some plant food if you're feeling ambitious. Try this: 2 cans white beans 1 bunch kale 1 onion few cloves garlic white wine salt and pepper red pepper flakes parmesan cheese Use dutch oven. Saute chopped ...

Sueven

Honestly, the only reason its even possible to be a vegan today is because of the advances in food production and technology that we have. In the past, people would have starved to death if they tried to become true vegetarians. Also, from a sustainability point of view, we would have much less foo...

I agree that the dwarf is the best character. A few of the others are somewhat interesting as well-- I like the incest-brother, and Boromir does a good job with his character. I also agree that the savages-across-the-narrow-sea story is not developing well. So far I've gathered that (1) they're terr...

That Harper is a resilient motherfucker.

How will Infinite Jest come true if the Quebecois lose their influence???

Sueven

Aab: Agreed. I'm happy he's dead, but it's more of a somber than a celebratory happy. Tyek: Didn't mean to go after you; just the general culture of converting any event whatsoever into an opportunity to analyze partisan gains and losses. More of a cable news / internet "news" site phenome...

While I've never read the books and don't really read any fantasy kind of stuff, I've always been a sucker for fantasy on screen with high production values, so I've been watching this. I'm kind of in the Winnow / people Miir talks to maybe-it-will-get-interesting-at-some-point camp. I mean I unders...

Why are so many people arguing about which President ought to get credit? Jesus fucking christ. Retarded.

Sueven

Boogahz: Granted, I have not read the actual decision, but I can understand how a person should not be able to ignore the arbitration arrangement they agreed to. If that portion of the service agreement can be thrown out by the consumer, what other portion could be thrown out as well? Could they jus...

Sueven

This is a major, major decision. Consumer class actions are more or less dead. This one is a statutory interpretation ruling, not a constitutional interpretation ruling, so it could theoretically could be overturned by a very simple act of Congress. Good luck with that, though. The thing that sucks ...

One thing I like about Atlas Shrugged (the book): It proves that people can be moved en masse by literature. Now let's see some literature that moves people in a more productive direction...

OH NO HE'S GOING GALT. HOW WILL OUR SOCIETY SURVIVE WITHOUT THE BRAVE CAPITALISTS WHO BROUGHT US THE ATLAS SHRUGGED FILM.

Sueven

I think Tressel will eventually have to go but OSU as an institution won't be hit too hard, if at all. They'll probably vacate their regular season wins from last year, but who cares? They still won the games whether the NCAA says so or not. And Reggie Bush actually won the Heisman. If it happens on...

Sueven

There is no good argument against progressive taxation. OF COURSE the wealthy should pay more in taxes. There's a bit of a problem implementing this-- with the advent of globalization, it's easier and easier for the ultra-wealthy to evade taxes. But, in theory, at least, the rich should pay more. I'...

I don't think having the woman on top during sex automatically makes the man the bottom in the encounter. It just depends who's controlling the action. It's possible to top from the bottom. Anyway, this kid sounds like he's probably an obnoxious attention whore, but he's probably also confused as he...

I'm anti-nuclear but I'm even more anti-fossil fuel. So supporting nuclear it is, I guess.

Good luck to all those in Japan, hope your radiation situation doesn't get any worse.

Sueven

I think the issue with commercials like this is as follows: There's not even a joke. The whole commercial is a stereotype. They expect that you'll laugh at it because you find stereotypes amusing. If, instead of recognizing a stereotype as amusing, you recognize it as a tired, overplayed stereotype,...

Humans are omnivorous. For the vast majority of human existence, populations have had different diets based largely on regional availability of food. So Eskimos eat a lot of seals and so on. That is no longer the case. Food options have been expanding for awhile, and we can now choose to eat practic...

Sueven

I'm not a vegetarian. I typically don't cook meat in my home, but I almost always eat some meat if I'm at a restaurant, and I have no qualms with eating it if somebody else cooks for me. And there are no absolutes-- I made some meat chili a few weeks ago, I'll cook fish for my girlfriend, and I'm su...

Sueven

Isn't this just a totally logical extension of the fact that a lot of people use the thing as a blu-ray player? OF COURSE the "how often do you use it for gaming" numbers are going to be lower on the system that has multiple functions rather than the system that has one. Am I missing somet...

Sueven

I'm completely disgusted by most of the conversation about this situation. Including some of the conversation here. Who gives a fuck if his crazed views leaned left or right? Seriously, what the hell does it matter? The crimes have an obvious connection to unhinged and violent political rhetoric. Th...

Sueven

My question about paying players is... What about all the players in the other sports? These folks can work just as hard as the football players, and their opportunities to work for pay are similarly limited. Will they get paid as well? The revenues from football and basketball typically subsidize t...

And as for the (shockingly heated) pop music debate: I like the modern list better than the 80's list. That's probably because I sometimes like to go out dancing in shitty drunken clubs, and that's the music they play, and it's fun to dance to. I wasn't going out in the 80's, but if I had, I'm sure ...

Sueven

Winnow: Don't you think it's a little strange to list the prominent musical genres of each decade, and to pass by the 1990's and 2000's without even a mention of rap or hip-hop? Do you think that your disdain for an entire era-defining genre of music might have something to do with your disdain for ...

Tebow at least has a pulse. Next step is to see if he's any good. How's Dumervil coming along?

I actually don't mind the new Big Ten logo. It's not great or anything, but I think all of the logos that are pictured in this thread (the new and fan-made big ten, the old and new pac ten) are of roughly equivalent quality. I don't really like the general aesthetic, but I also am very pro-simplicit...

The Mets have dropped from a disappointment to an embarrassment over the past two years. At least you cleaned house this year and can start over. Hopefully it helps; it's fun when the Mets are at least competitive. You've got to think that the Brewers are a 2011 contender now. Obviously the looming ...

Phillies / Red Sox World Series??? Some big moves this offseason! I'm amazed that Cliff Lee signed for less money than either Carl Crawford or Jayson Werth. Now the Phillies are going to roll out there with a Roy Halladay / Cliff Lee / Roy Oswalt / Cole Hamels rotation. Amazing. They probably have t...

The Legends and the Leaders division? What the fuck Big Ten...

I agree on Leach, Masteen. Sadly not sure how much it matters in terms of his future job prospects.

Muschamp, huh? That's a pretty reasonable hire I guess.

Sueven

I think the Gators have to hire Mullen. None of the other choices are reasonable. Leach: His biggest problem is the way he left Tech, in a haze of accusations regarding player safety and lawsuits and recriminations. Plus he never quite managed to raise Tech above the gimmick offense reputation (no c...

Champ game: Good one. Two interesting teams that have been consistently good but haven't managed to break through. One of them gets to win a title. Auburn's got an interesting story and Oregon's the weird-ass northwestern Nike factory. I'll be happy with a championship for either. Rose bowl: Also a ...

Jesus, the amount of content that game has now must be ridiculous. Can you, I don't know, solo the Temple of Veeshan these days?

I really encourage watching this video, especially the back and forth that follows Perkins' first statement:

Plus he did mention it... He spent the entire "any last words" question talking about the charity. Also, is this fucking bizarro world? We're bashing LeBron to take less money in order to play with good teammates and win? We're bashing LeBron for donating shitloads of money to charity and ...

Sueven

I think it's kind of silly to accuse a team of buying a championship when it's impossible for them to even hit the luxury tax threshold and they play in a league with a fairly strict salary cap structure. I don't get all the vitriol. So these guys want to take less money so that they have a better c...

tax cuts = spending

if you don't cut taxes, then you're not spending money that you don't have because you have money

Kilmoll: Her first amendment views do not appear to be particularly absolutist, and that may be troubling to first amendment absolutists. But the majority of legal types-- both conservative and liberal-- are not first amendment absolutists. Her views seem to fall within a fairly mainstream range. Sh...

Sueven

She's basically guaranteed to get confirmed, assuming that she doesn't have an epic meltdown during the confirmation hearings. Liberals aren't particularly thrilled with her. She's got a professional reputation as a ideological bridge-building type, rather than as an ideological advocate. But she's ...

How about the manner in which the administration of "change" has gone about business? They got their healthcare rammed through by basically buying votes. They want amnesty through so they can have a voting base to get re-elected (and to be fair Bush wanted the same craptastic amnesty and ...

Sueven

Also, what are the egregious things that this administration has done unilaterally and without votes that render you unshockable? Healthcare: Passed both houses of Congress. Stimulus: Passed both houses of Congress. Student loan reform: Passed both houses of Congress. Ledbetter Fair Pay Act: Passed ...

Sueven

I think it's almost certainly true that the Obama administration is investigating the extent of executive authority to act unilaterally with respect to immigration. Seems like it'd be irresponsible not to investigate and figure out what your range of options for confronting a serious policy issue ar...

Badass. My new kick is lentils. Bag of dried lentils is like a buck or two. And that's a lot of lentils, and they're good for you. Can boil them with broth and some vegetables and spices and make a soup, or drain them and mix with some herbs and vegetables and dressing and make a salad. Two best rec...
