  1. Have you run Disk Utility on it yet? That should give you a little more information on the drive at the very least.
  2. Those were loss leaders.
  3. They're not so different those two.
  4. Is banning a social media platform no one really uses and arresting a douchebag supposed to be unappealing? I guess that's another one of those things that makes more sense in-person.
  5. Did you just talk shit about Wayne Brady?
  6. They''re not even well written essays.
  7. You've mentioned this before and I'm convinced you have absolutely no idea what such a Civil War would look like. I imagine you see yourself standing out there protesting with a bunch of happy black and brown people, united in your distrust of the government and basking in the bullshit that all people are treated equally regardless of their skin color, gender orientation, and economic situation. Let me tell you what actually has a "zero chance." If there is another civil war, it will be a protracted proxy war between those that identifying with white/heterosexual/christian and everyone else. You seem to assume that there is a portion of people that support Trump simply because he represents the disenfranchised and the forgotten, and that is dangerously half-baked. The people he represents do call themselves disenfranchised, however they're predominantly white or white identifying. That incudes some black and brown people who, while not identify as white, ascribe to the power structure that rewards minorities for participating in a system that picks and chooses which of them are worthy of participating. It does not include people who are actually disenfranchised - LGBTQIA+ people of color, those who have gender dysmorphia, first generation immigrants. Moreover, the tell tale that these people aren't actually disenfranchised is who among them claims it - such as Congresspeople, Senators, Governors, and, even, a jaded Supreme Court Justice or two. The fact is, who you see as disenfranchised are not the people who actually see them selves as disenfranchised, and it's the latter that is threatening a Civil War. NOw given that, if you actually listened to these same people who threaten civil war, you would also know they ascribe to same misogyny, bigotry and racism their shitty disgrace of a human being messiah. They won't always say it openly, but it will show up nonetheless. They'll be the ones saying that schools are indoctrinating children with LGBTQIA+ curriculum without proving any evidence. They will say that illegal immigrants are all criminals and are stealing jobs despite historic data that doesn't support either assertion. They will be the ones that call Black Lives Matter a hate group or point to the fictional Antifa as an existential threat. It stands to reason that any conflict that comes out of his demise will fall along those bigoted ideological lines regardless of what you might believe, and it also stands to reason that resulting violence will based almost exclusively on appearance and identity rather than anything so esoteric as a ideological belief. I'm not trying to be cruel here - just making sure you understand reality. You can pretend the people driving the hate are the people who disagree with you all you want, but they aren't. In the unlikely event a civil war actually happens, there's a zero chance you and your wife would survive regardless of how sensible you think you are.
  8. We did? I mean it’s a kind of the “it” genre for western streamers, and how good they are is about what you would expect from an over saturation.
  9. Did anyone besides you read that?
  10. I think he’s counting on people reading his absurdity. You know he’s shitting thousands of dollars down the toilet a day just to keep a market leading social media platform from going bankrupt.
  11. It’s not a bad album, but you can really tell the difference. MoP and AJfA…have raw authenticity that belies the less-than-polished sound. The Black Album has the polish, and lyrics that some studio exec and producer thought would get radio play. It’s as close to a Faustian bargain you can get in modern rock.
  12. My point is that the Black Album is when the wheels fell off. By St Anger, they couldn’t go much lower.
  13. You probably should., though.
  14. Yeah... until you hit the water table.
  15. You misunderstand, the Black Album was the point where Metallica went from innovator to hair-band-in-disguise.
  16. No. There isn't a half naked goddess with huge tits as the antagonist. And Sully doesn't count.
  17. Because of the Black Album, Ghosty. It's always because of the Black Album,
  18. Man, you acting like you're fucking scoobdog or something. Don't act like that motherfucker.
  19. I'm not entirely sure where Sa'ar stands on most things war related, other than the fact he apparently disagrees with much of what Netanyahu is doing and that Netanyahu's circle doesn't trust Sa'ar.
  20. RIP This is distressing for some reason.
