Seinfeld- Jerry and Elaine are exes and breify get back together at the end of season one

I was never a big fan of Seinfeld, and didn’t know this.

I suppose this “loophole” was intentional.

(Disclaimer: the previous statement was made based on nothing but cynicism and decades of reading the news.)

It’s easy (and encouraged!) to dunk on Trump for all the human rights abuses and excessive use of lethal force, but the amount of “soft power” he’s given up is truly staggering. Previous administrations, both Republican and Democrat, spent decades building up quiet US influence around the world, and he’s destroying it like a toddler knocking over wooden blocks.

I hate this headline. “Why are you stupid peasants whining about the destruction of the ecosystem instead of simply spending more on stopgap measures?”

Give more money to the companies that helped create this problem! That’ll fix everything!

a disingenuous prick who insists on using alt-right "debate tactics"

These people are quite possibly social media’s greatest plague.

Payment processors/banks should not be the arbiters of ethics. If a thing is legal, they should be REQUIRED to handle it, or lose their ability to conduct business nationwide.

They want to achieve ignorance. Concern for the climate HAS to pit you against corporations and fossil fuels, and Trump can’t have that. It’s much cheaper and easier to hide the facts rather than fix the problem.

That, for so many reasons, is an incredibly sad headline

This whole thing is grotesquely fascinating, but my biggest question is this: did the husband even glance at the watch before giving it to his wife, or did he just hand her the package it was mailed in?

I know that if I gave someone a $650 gift, I’d look it over carefully to make sure it was in good condition, but that’s just me.

At first I thought it said “outwit” and I was like “Um, dude, a potato could outwit you.”

 

I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

 

Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
