  • Books-A-Million and Barnes & nobles have one advantage, people that really like books like picking up the books and looking at them. It also helps that you can usually get coffee and read your acquisitions and there are board games and all sorts of things that they sell to kind of balance out the mix.


  • If they had come up with a good interface.

    There are a couple of stores that I have seen that used to be brick and mortar or catalog based and made the transition to online but their website is terrible.

    McMaster-Carr comes to mind. I’m never really sure if I have found the part I’m looking for whenever I shop on their website.

    Maybe it’s a skill issue, sure, but online shopping should not require an onboarding process.



  • Automatically killing all pedophiles tells pedophiles to murder their victims as the punishment for murder can be less than the penalty for pedophilia.

    Would you rather a child be sexually assaulted and survive or for a child to be sexually assaulted and then murdered?

    That’s the decision you’re making when you vote for summary execution of pedophiles.





  • But it takes a special kind of comedic genius to reach the point where you go from being raunchy and edgy and counterculture to being a milquetoast “adult” for kids comedy movies.

    Happened to lots of comedy greats. They get a following, they make some money and then a movie opportunity comes along that fits them and their comedy style well and then they get addicted to the money and then they sell out.

    Eddie Murphy, Bob Saget, Steve Martin, Andy Kauffman (kinda maybe), George Carlin for a while before he came to his senses and went back to comedy, almost happened to Dave Chappele.

    I feel safe in saying that we can add Jack Black to the mix, I wonder if he’ll return to his roots or if he’ll just stay a sellout.
