Yeah don't take normal cabs, Uber is cheaper and better. The bus is alright for the price but stops way too much and I'm not patient enough for it. I've never tried the monorail.

The casinos dont let Uber drive up and make you walk to the curb. The taxi unions did it on purpose.

Bellagio has my favorite restaurant ever, Le Cirque.

I give such awkward hugs. Im self conscious about hugging. I can't get the comfort element from them cause Im too worried about accidentally crossing over to weird territory lol. Maybe I need to talk to a therapist about that :3

Try the hover hand.

The death rate is lower, it's the result of older people and more at risk people staying home and the young protesters doing the spreading.

Also, black women refuse to get their hair wet, not sure if it's related (although it seems to be because they're wearing an expensive wig or they have some weave that took 4 hours to do).

Sounds like something a poor would say.

They should do a weekend at Bernie's.

Go post this on a less liberal board and you'll have guts.

It's weird because generally the stereotype is they are athletic...

My mom is like that, she's always talking too loud and interrupting everyone while trying to be funny, and she just repeats the same jokes over and over.

Tolerance to any drug works like that.

Foie gras, the fattened liver of duck or goose, is no longer illegal to serve in California, as long as the product is comes from an out-of-state seller and is transported by a third party, according to a ruling from a federal judge today, reports the Associated Press.

The luxurious delicacy has had a lengthy history in California, where it was first banned in 2004 at the urging of animal rights activists. In 2015, U.S. District Judge Stephen V. Wilson determined that the state law clashed with the federal governments Poultry Products Inspection Act, ruling in the favor of the plaintiffs, which included Hermosa Beach restaurant Hots Kitchen (which is now closed), and multiple foie gras producers.

Foie gras could then be sold and eaten in California, but not produced in the state. Menus across Los Angeles and the state of California served foie gras, an expensive add-on or ingredient that often appeared in upscale restaurants. However, in 2017, Ninth Circuit judges rejected the the lower courts ruling and said the state had a right to ban the food based on animal cruelty. In 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, which meant the foie gras ban was indeed upheld and enforced for the past 18 months in California.

On July 14, 2020 U.S. District Judge Stephen V. Wilson, who originally ruled in favor of foie gras producers and a local LA restaurant in 2015, again determined that foie gras could be sold in California: There is no principled way to distinguish between foie gras produced out of state and transported into California by the purchaser and that which is delivered by a third party, wrote Wilson.

The ruling is a major win for out-of-state foie gras producers, who said they had lost nearly a third of sales due to Californias foie gras ban. Meanwhile, the current coronavirus pandemic has led to closed dining rooms, and only limited takeout and delivery service for restaurants. The situation has resulted in numerous permanent restaurant shutters across Los Angeles (and the state). But hey, chefs can start serving foie gras again (does it keep well in takeout containers?), as long as it comes from outside of California and arrives through a third party.

Should be good news for the small farms that produce foie gras at least.

https://deadline.com/2020/07/ready-player-two-sequel-novel-ernest-cline-november-publication-date-1202980261/

Ready Player Two, novelist Ernest Clines sequel to his bestselling Ready Player One, will be published by Penguin Random House imprint Ballantine Books on Nov. 24 in North America, the publishing house announced today.

The book can be pre-ordered beginning today. International publication dates will be announced in coming months, and are expected to exceed the 58 countries and 37 languages in which the original was published.

Cline adapted his debut novel into the Warner Bros. Steven Spielberg-directed film Ready Player One. The 2018 movie took in more than $582 million worldwide.

I guess I'm on board, I enjoyed the first book, although all the 80's references got annoying.

I can't stand McDonald's egg patties, I always have to take them out and just have a bacon and cheese biscuit.

Not always, sometimes they are too focused on themselves and have to ask if he finished.

Game shows and talent shows, I guess that's all we're getting until the quarantine ends, since on those shows it's easy to socially distance the contestant and the host or judges. Can't shoot a normal show where you need lots of actors and camera operators.

I was pretty disappointed, they assume you have a lot of familiarity with the historical figures going in, and the songs weren't as catchy as I expected. The love story between Hamilton and his future wife was confusing and it seemed like a lot of it was to give the females something to do.

Garzoorpafield is way better than Garfield, now give me my fucking enchilladas.

Origin movies are always boring, there's the tedious first mission, the "discovering their powers" scenes, then finally, we get the fully powered and suited up hero, and the movie ends.

except that trump got 3 million less votes than hillary got provingt hat democrats do vote
the real problem is the electoral college will give the win to the loser of the election cause its a really messed up system

The electoral college is a problem, but mostly because the states are winner take all and the Democratic voters are distributed disadvantageously in a handful of coastal states. But I know countless millennials who hate Trump but still don't want to vote because they think Biden is bad too, or they just never vote.

Ill start.

In Michael Crichtons novel Jurassic Park, the character Ian Malcolm clearly and unquestionably dies but in the follow up novel, The Lost World, Ian Malcolm is alive and the main character

Also, the island and cloning laboratories depicted in the first movie/book were all for show and the actual cloning was happening on a different island that nobody ever mentioned....lol wtf.

The problem is those Republicans vote. Democrats don't all vote, lots of them protest because their candidate didn't win, or throw up their hands and say it doesn't matter if we vote anyway because both parties are corrupt.

They are still a thing. It seems strange to someone like me who is so visually oriented and can't imagine getting aroused if I can't see anything, but some people like the interaction part.

dude, she tried to kill a man, and she tried to achieve so by lying to the police.

wannabe killer and liar? Fuck her, she deserves it

"She tried to kill him" is a big stretch. If some asshole came over to me and started lecturing me about following the rules, I wouldn't call the police, but I'd definitely tell them to get lost.

Also, what kind of hobby is bird watching? Sounds like a hobby for incels.

These celebrity apologies sound as fake as the apologies given to the state by political prisoners in soviet gulags.

How was he being that?

He could have minded his own business instead of trying to police everyone and make sure their dog is leashed. He had an obnoxious, bleating lisping voice too, take away the race part and lots of people would say he deserved to he told to fuck off.

you mean you dont think she filed a false police report?

She didnt deserve to lose her job and have her life ruined. The bird watcher was being a bossy asshole too.

She's probably dumb enough to be persuaded to vote for a third party candidate.

I went to the dentist a couple of weeks ago, somebody sneezed in the waiting room and everyone tensed up. Man life is crazy now.

They were supposed to make Elsa gay in Frozen 2, such a disappointment. There's a throwaway line from another female character to Elsa, something like "you can live here with us...." that hints at what they were thinking of doing.

It earned him a lot more flak than you'd expect. It's actually what caused him to lose me, too.

She's not even a big religious zealot or Fox News viewer, she doesn't follow the news or politics at all. I don't think she cares about his religious views.

Trump is okay with Caucasian immigrants so as lobg as she's white, she's not wrong for supporting him. She's just a disgusting racist as well.

She's not white, she's Filipino.

She says Trump has been good for the economy, plus Biden is too old (even though I pointed out they are almost the same age). Also, she's an immigrant and Trump is anti immigrant, but she doesn't see the hypocrisy.

Haven't you seen the ozarks? Lots of drugs and crime in those small towns.

That would mean there's no point waiting for a vaccine, might as well reopen everything.

They would be disgusted by our approximately 200 competing governments.

The issue with the IPA trend is that it is a bit more accessible in terms of extreme flavor beers, compared to triples, quads, imperial stouts, Flemish sours, etc.

Granted, when I see people rant about IPAs they tend to focus entirely on the dank bombs which is more typical in West coast style. The new trend (at least on the East Coast) is New England hazy styles, which tend to be bombastically tropical and juicy as opposed to bong water.

It's true, all of the local microbrew IPAs I tried in San Diego tasted like bong water. At least they have high alcohol content.

I wonder what will happen to the show, with international travel shut down? I can only put up with so many zoom check-ins with people formerly on the show.
