  1. If you have a laptop most libraries offer WiFi now and they're often pretty open from censorship. But I'm also sorry to hear about the troubles and am hoping for the best for you!
  2. You might try changing the channel/re-syncing the the keyboard and receiver (should be a button on each, but you'll probably have to do this after taking out the batteries anyway...), but it sounds like it's got problems... So just take all that you have back to Costco in a grocery bag, they'll look up the receipt off your membership and happily take it back! I fucking LOVE Costco!

    Skyfall

    Saw Cloud Atlas after Skyfall, took me forever to figure out why he looked familiar! He's even sexier in Cloud Atlas!
  4. Sick! I like it! ;o)
  5. The guy was 16 when they were first in touch, but I haven't heard the relationship was sexual before he was 18... taking that more from what was revieled of emails than what this emotionally unstable 'boy' says. Now why, if you're in the kind of position Clash was in... or even in general you pursue such a relationship at all is fairly questionable. I have had a couple CL exchanges where the guy on the other end reveals they're underage (obviously didn't originally say so) and the second that happens I never reply again and put their email in my 'crap' file...

    First love

    Still waiting. Sometimes wonder if I'm broken...
  7. It may be the case of conservative media over-covering a rather small group? Like Fox's extensive coverage of Tea Party crap but almost none of 99% which was *much* bigger...? Just a theory, I'm curious as well.
  8. I didn't realize they made superbikes that small..
  9. I thought it was more transparently union-busting, myself. It's hard not to believe the name and the product won't be bought out and continue... without all the current employees... Then again, as fat as Americans have gotten there're quite a few who at the least avoid the worst of the worse junk-food (i.e. Hostess's whole line...), so maybe their marketshare was tanking?

    Who wrote the Bible?

    Here's a little video on the Bible I quite enjoyed...
  11. For what it's worth, I sent them an email: http://www.macysinc.com/contact-us/ thinking that may do slightly more than signing some online petition. Still this side of fuck-all, most likely. But I said if he appears in ads this season for Macy's I'll never step foot in there again, and I mean it!
  12. Only fair, I spent a couple hours on Art of Manliness yesterday!
  13. Happy birthday!
  14. I am offended by that summary! I was an Obama supporter and like many others didn't support her for two reasons: I didn't believe she stood for anything other than it being her turn. I believed her election would drive the right over the edge and nothing would get done. Her work as a senator and especially as Sec State have changed my mind on the first one, and fsm knows the right couldn't have gone any more batshit than they did on Obama, so now I hope she runs too. Though I'd also be OK with Biden. Would love Warren, but she might be a bridge too far at the moment. I think that unwanted childbirth is a large cause of poverty, which becomes a negative spiral. The eugenics is BS and it's hard to believe others still believe it, but I am all for offering everybody--especially those who can least afford it access to birth control, or even incentivising something like Norplant.
  15. Or maybe dad's a green nerd and it's actually li-on for Lithium Ion batteries? ;o)
  16. Found a pretty good sub-reddit for discussing such things (and much more) among gay guys: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaybros/ If you're looking for a way to kill many, many hours, Reddit is your answer!
  17. He's not actually that low profile. He wrote a book, did a tour, pretty sure I saw him interviewed on Daily Show. And of course it's hard to think of a more damaging allegation for him. Whether the extortion succeeded or his lawyers managed to convince Stephens of the dangers of defamation, liable and a massive countersuit...
  18. http://www.quickmeme...ilver/?upcoming I take it he's gay?? Anybody read his book?
  19. I just didn't really care about this topic, powerful men behaving poorly is to be expected... but this quick summary of the details, the triangle, and the woman in the center of it (NOT the biographer!) piqued my interest a bit. In a supermarket tabloid kind of way... though the mention of classified docs in the biographer's hands elevates the seriousness, for me.

    I also like that if a post/reply gets enough of them it becomes 'popular', just wish it was easier to see without going into a thread... for example I don't always keep up with the pornification section, but would love to see at a glance the 'best of'--threads so liked they've become popular, without going into each one. But overall I like 'likes' too. Some of my posts don't get many responses but at least I know they're read and somebody agrees!

    Skyfall

    All in all I liked it, but felt there were too many reminders about it having been "50 years of Bond" and too much carefully trying to make sure we knew to expect another 50! The plot was a bit meh as well. The bad guy was well played but his plan doesn't stand up to any thought. I'm not going to kill _ now, or now, OK, now that nothing else has been accomplished and it's a lot less likely to succeed I'm gonna do it! But it did have great opening weekend, so I'm sure there's more coming soon. And yet MGM will still be teetering on the edge, I assume?

    Table for one?

    For me the type of restaurant and time of day play a part. Breakfast or lunch alone in a somewhat casual place is no problem for me at all. Dinner, especially in a more fancy place does feel weird, but on the other hand there are a lot of places with full-menu bars, and there are certainly other single people eating in there.
  23. That's the $64k question, do they admit mistakes were made or continue towards becoming completely irrelevant as a party? And they got rid of Michael Steel... Boehner is probably safe but McConnell...
