    The Alex Rodriguez defense takes shape

    I'm so conflicted. Hate the Yankees, but also hate Arod. I think I'd like to see them have to continue to pay him for years

    Munn's not the word

    I only know her from the Daily Show. She really, really flopped. And if you can't do the Daily Show I don't think you're a gifted funny person, that show has outlets for all types of comedy.

    Reverse Zimmerman- Black guys kills unarmed man and claims Stand Your Ground

    Unfortunately is close enough that I fear it will catch on. But the guy was in his car, Atkins was unarmed according to evidence, the shooter was not injured. I don't see how that isn't murder.

    Model turns out to not be Congressman's daughter. Odds They start dating? (PIC)

    I think style matters too. Some people just automatically call girls hot that have bright blonde hair, wear skimpy clothes, and are skinny. And usually they are good looking. But you see a lot more chicks like that in LA or Miami just because it is the style there

    do actors deserve to be paid so much money?

    I didn't realize Channing Tatum was such a high earner. I think I've only seen him in 21 jump street

    Venezuela, Bolivia or Nicaragua? Where would you go?

    Never been to any. But Bolivia because it has mountains/cold. You could probably fly to Venezuela if you wanted to go to the ocean

    Kindle case question

    My last Kindle broke while traveling.. apparently the screens are sensitive to pressure and I stuff it in backpacks etc. Do the $40 cases prevent this? Or are they soft? Any cheaper alternatives? I travel to places where Kindles aren't sold so it is a huge inconvenience for this to happen again.

    Patriots TE Hernandez in big trouble

    The whole thing is still pretty unbelievable. I mean the circumstantial evidence is damning, as is his conduct during the investigation, but it is hard for most people to wrap their head around motive. Guy is a multi-millionaire, victim is only casually linked in terms of relationship, and it...

    Looking for Writers for a Tech Blog who will be Paid

    Especially if it's this pay-per-click bullshit. It's the publishers/editors job to select content that will attract a readership, that isn't the writer's job. In general I'd guess you could find better pay blogging about tech issues for a news site that doesn't specialize in it. The smaller...

    Looking for Writers for a Tech Blog who will be Paid

    $5 for 500 is slave wages. At minimum $50 for 500, ideally $500 (but that is more likely if it is destined for print)

    So the new office I'm at has a lot of people that play disc golf

    I was into it when I lived in NorCal, it's a lot better if they actually build parks for it where you live (like there is around Arcata/Eureka). Frankly I enjoy it as much as real golf but it is free and more laid back. Like bowling it is worth investing the same to learn to toss the hard way...

    Woman kills husband and herself while trying to park her car

    Sad. This is freak x2.. husband to do what he did, wife to put her head out the window.. very unusual both. Hopefully having such a weird thing happen will be of some benefit to the child over the long run, of course that is doubtful but you see it in movies.

    Face it: Monogamy is unnatural

    It's obviously unnatural, if it were natural nobody would cheat. Everyone has had some urge to cheat before, whether they acted on it or not, jut by virtue of being attracted sexually to other people besides their partner. You are fighting cravings to not fuck the shit out of everything.

    World exclusive: Iran will send 4,000 troops to aid Bashar al-Assad’s forces in Syria

    While the comment stings, I wonder why exactly it is supposed to be false. We won in Iraq in terms of defeating Saddam Hussein but it's hard to argue we brought any kind of replacement government there. More of a chaos organized as best we could, to last long enough where we could not exactly...

    Employers: Entry-Level Applicants Are Just About Useless

    I'm a December '08 grad, as bad as it gets really. There has been a lot of generalizations in this thread either blaming employees, companies, or both. Having witnessed it over the past few years, I can say the trend is towards freelancing in one way or another. It's smarter for a worker to...

    Ran into a punk kid at McDonald's today.

    I did this once.. kinda thought the dude took advantage of it though he requested quite a bit. But maybe it doesn't happen often. But never did it again.. didn't really feel that great since the guy came across as greedy/entitled. edit: probably the main reason I haven't done it again though is...

    Patriots TE Hernandez in big trouble

    Not my first choice, but yea if I had more than $1mil I could probably be ok as an international fugitive. Without having thought about this much, first thought is to buy a plot of land with a nice home in a South American country with which the U.S. has no extradition treaty. Might be better if...

    Paula Deen dropped by Food Network

    Her mistake was admitting it. But I agree with you. Not because we've all done it, but because context is key. If I referred to "******s" to my best friend, which I probably have done but can't remember specifically, that would have a different meaning than if I said ****** in public to a...

    Patriots TE Hernandez in big trouble

    Wow.. I wonder how much of that 12 mil he has, if any? Or what he had from previous contracts? If I was as desperate as that, destroying or cleaning everything.. I mean at that point I'd imagine you're better off fleeing the country

    Patriots TE Hernandez in big trouble

    Can't believe somebody would throw that kind of life away. And just to kill someone who seemed fairly inconsequential. He is obviously guilty of obstructing justice and the only motivation to obstruct justice would be if he was an accessory or murderer himself. Why else destroy the security...

    James Gandolfini - dead at 51

    I noticed this as well. I had a picture of him as a fat guy from his later roles, but for most of his career he wasn't really overweight. I'd just have to assume he had a really unhealthy lifestyle for the past 10 years

    Great example of this was when he become a 3-point threat in the first half of the game. Just started nailing them. Through the game he basically morphed into Danny Green, Tim Duncan, or Tony Parker whenever the moment suited him. I guess I kind of get the hate, though.. I hated Jordan in...

    Fringe

    I'm not sure if I like her.. the worst I could say is for such a well cast show, she is the worst. But she is also the lead. And the guy fro Boston Legal.. not a fan. Looks too much like an action figure to be a believable character

    I'm also picking Miami, because I'm rooting for them (they beat the Zombie sonics last year so I am a fan). But yea, could go either way. I couldn't pick who I would put money on. San Antonio has been the better team over the past 6 games IMO. But Miami has proved capable of stepping up when it...

    Did Sopranos age well? Should I watch it?

    Yes I just started watching it for the first time. It actually has some charm, vintage late 90s feel which is weird to look back on now (I'm 26 so most time periods I look back on and either wasn't alive or don't remember). Kind of creepy though because the first couple of episodes show Tony...
