Lots of hardcore republicans where I'm at, and they're saying Trump's lead this time is proof that the last election was stolen. I wouldn't be surpeised if there was widespread voter fraud on the right, but I doubt it would be to the tune of millions to explain the gulf we witnessed.

Dude saluted a foreign military officer, to the confusion of all.

Did anyone else have a ton of trouble making sense of the headline? Granted, I'm not exactly sober right now, but that seems confusing.

I get to pay 4k a year, just to be able to be charged only 6k out of pocket. After that 10k, I still would owe 10% of every charge after that.

Or I can pay 2k a year for the privilage of being charged a little over 8k out of pocket. After that, I'd owe 20% of everything after.

So every year, I get to gamble my prospective income on how much healthcare I think I'll need. I want to save on monthly costs? Hopefully nothing emergent happens. Expecting a procedure? Now I'm out a few extra hundred a month just so I don't have to pay more than 10% after already paying 6k.

All this is assuming I don't get denied coverage and have to foot the whole bill anyway. I need to see a specialist, though, and the only one nearby isn't in my network. I gotta drive an hour and a half or pay 100%.

I'm paying more than the savings I'm able to put away to assholes who own yachts bigger than the house I rent.

Who would view this system as favorable?

Watch V For Vendetta next, also Hugo Weaving. In that film, he does an excellent job of portraying emotions from behind a mask. He does a better job from behind a mask than a lot of actors can do with their entire face.

When I have kids, one of the greatest challenges I'm anticipating is going to be keeping all the voices of the dwarves in the Hobbit diverse yet consistent.

I'm not so sure about that. If a mermaid and a centaur had a baby, there's a chance they'd give birth to a regular dude. Perhaps we're just not breeding minotaurs with the right things. Someone install Cloud Meadow and get back to me.

Could be a few bad months from being homeless, never a few good months from being wealthy.

It's wild to me that ctl+alt+del is relevant today at all. I used to read webcomics in high school all the time, CAD included. Loss was definitely eye opening, it was a real moment of "wasn't this comic about video games?" But then it was forgotten about for so long. It's a marvel to me that random moment in such a dated comic got meme'd on this hard.

No no, it's okay, my nephew is half porpoise, I can say that.
