I would also just like to point out the super crazy FBI/Comey involvement at the last minute knocking Hillary down in the polls 4-7 points a week before the election. What the hell was that!? Nobody seems to want to confront it because it seems hard…
Yeah, I don't know. I get why you would be frustrated with the DNC and with a couple of Hillary's policies, but, not to oversimplify it, I think it is pretty hard to rationally disagree that if Hillary had a penis she would have kicked the shit out …
+1
Also, I think where we are right now is ultimately the result of people being fame, celebrity, or status obsessed and of being unwilling to confront anything and retreating more and more into our personal little bubbles because we are all, espec…
If Powell's wasn't on Hawthorne you probably would've had to just order your books on amazon or drive across town to the other Powell's, but I get what you are saying. I am on board with this line of thinking for most businesses outside of bookstore…
I don't really follow your logic on selling $50 million of product. I could sell a billion dollars of product but if I make nothing on any of those sales that doesn't really do me any good.
Unless things have completely changed, bookstores make alm…
I don't think there is a bookstore anywhere that is doing anything but barely hanging on. I would guess there is an unseen benefit of eating that cost. 7.5% is a very small percent. That's about $1.80 on a $25 book. I would guess there is an increas…
I dated a dev lady for a couple of years and was constantly blown away by the subtle dismissive and shitty things people would say to her. There is so much sorta well-intentioned sexism in the development world. It is weird to see. When she was firs…
It is a tax on sales and not profits from what I understand. So Powell's can absolutely not afford it. Books make almost no profit and often best sellers sell at a loss. They do a lot of sales but make almost no profit. There are a solid amount of b…
They did.
I have heard such mixed things on 97. I am all about making super rich companies contribute to the community they got rich being a part of, but I feel like if they raised the 25 million threshold to like 100 million it would be less contr…
Wow! She's great. That title is pretty clickbaity through. Curry is an inch shorter and was 402/886 from 3 where she is 30/67. Her percentage is maybe higher but yeah, when you are only picking open shots...still though, she is super young so anothe…
That sucks.
I watched those Olympic games too. Way more fun than the Men's! Partially though, and I think this has something to do with it's popularity as well, American men's pro has had like 60 years and millions of dollars worth of scouting and…
I will post it here, but soon...yeah. It has a long way to go. Still putzing my way around Unity pretty hard, and I am making it a turn based RPG so I need to write a story, make music, and make a crapload of sprites and other stuff. I am hoping it …
A support group would be funny. I do have a lot of mixed and difficult feelings about the stuff he does.
I think I have shared this before, but this is the sorta thing that he does:
IT IS SO DAMN CUTE AND LOVING!
...but also highly highly annoy…
I sprayed him once and he looked at me like I had murdered his family and then ran off and hid in the guest room for a few hours. He is a very sensitive boy.
If Joey was who I think she is/was, I was so sorry to hear about that. I can't even imagine how heartbroken some people are. I doubt there is anything I can do to help anybody, but if there is, I would gladly do anything I can. I hope everyone is ok.
Yeah, those condos suck but, and I'm by no means an expert on this topic, it seems like everything I have read says pretty much nothing else works to keep rents down other than flooding a market with rentals. Those condos make a lot of rentals very …
300% hike! Yikes. That's unethical and ridiculous. I am more optimistic though. I think a lot of the endeavors and people that feel like they are forced out will still exist, just farther on the outskirts like every other big city. The bummer being,…
Arguing with old guys about politics by the ocean over a cup of yogurt sounds pretty cool too though. That's what happens in Greece right? I would play a game of that as well.
Yeah, it is pretty cool that games are getting so big on trying to satiate wanderlust and exploration and in a lot of ways that would never be conceivable in real life. Like, I can save up to go to Greece, but pretty hard to save to become a space a…
I would wait on a Wii U. There are not many good games for the money, and it is a pretty failed system so it probably won't get much future support and will probably be hard to get much resale value as well. Even if you are buying one just for the n…
