i want out

Bigtime yep

In 2002 I had an internship that, per hour, paid over 35% more than I make now (without taking into account "2002 money vs today money"). I'm also fewer hours now.

Once ICE is abolished, can we finally do the same for Dubbya's sick fucking perverts over at TSA Security Theatre?

Explains a lot about why so much of the gamer community's been such a toxic trash heap for awhile.

The old "evolution of a programmer" bit needs updated with a new final step.

If only I'd heard this back in 1999!

"This raises new questions about Joe Biden's health"

Emphasis on the word "some", to be clear. (This IS the internet.)

Some sports fans really can't handle that their hobby isn't as universal as they make it out to be.

Disney's been pumping out Star Wars and it's been awhile since Paramount finally remembered they had Star Trek to make money off of. Isn't it about time for some Stargate by now?
