I know that's steep but it replaces netflix and the fact that it works OFFLINE on your phone (playlist) is worth it to me. Seriously, i'm rocking it now. THis is f***ING AWESOME. This must be what it was like when the beatles came to the united states.

wish I had stock in spotify.com. This is so awesome. quick edit: perhaps secondshare.

Just signed up for spotify. VERY EXCITED. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) It's less relevant...because the supposed frontrunner seemingly believes he can't win there but will own the state next to the one he was governor in. Really, you can minimize the impact/bounce that either of them would get from a win. "Oh, it's just Iowa, she'll only win one state, Huckabee won Iowa last time". "Oh, it's just N.H., they were going to go for Romney anyway since he was the governor in Mass.". I'm not trying to minimize early wins, but Iowa in Republican primaries recently (obviously small sample) seems to choose candidates that have less of a chance in the majority of the states. The opposite of Iowa for dems, which sort of shows they can win more conservative bellweather states.

sigh.

It seems to me Iowa is much less relevant for Repubs than Democrats. Bachmann winning would certainly legitimize her as "one of the front runners", but NH is the big one. Also, hasn't Romney mostly conceded Iowa already?

saying "shut your f***ing kid up" is never an appropriate response.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) So if you're at a nice restaurant or a movie theater trying to enjoy a nice dinner or movie and multiple whiny ass 2-3 year olds are going apes*** for no reason because that's what they do wouldn't piss you off? And management is not supposed to impose when they see their paying customers are getting annoyed by said whining/crying? What's rude? "tell your kid to shut the f*** up." Nobody does that. But you have to see their point of view. you aren't even addressing what's being said, just doing your "I'm EXTREEEME" schtick.

restaurant is spelled wrong.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 06:12 PM) It was in the 1880's and 90's. when gold was bad and SILVER was GOLD

there was a strange tilt to that article I can't quite put my finger on. But god I hate the gold standard talk. Was this around in the 80s and 90s?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) Are you talking about the .com where you seek cheap places to stay? The idea seems sort of faddish/hyper modern to me...and potentially dangerous. I'm not sure what I think of services like this, it's basically a more evolved version of CouchSurfing, which is/was "free", and I put that free in quotations because nothings free. I've read some oddball stories of people that have done this, and "paid" in other ways. I can't speak for everyone on this, but I personally wouldn't use a service like this, because frankly the idea scares me. The risk/potential for meeting some wackado would weigh too heavily on my mind and I'd never get any sleep. If I were to ever do something like this I'd probably roam the countryside camping on my own...I know I should trust people more, but I don't...and the world around me gives me plenty of reasons why. I don't know. I did couchsurfing when I was in Brazil and it was fine. The ratings system allow people to regulate pretty well and most won't stay with someone who isn't rated. Renting apts for short terms is something pretty common elsewhere that often isn't an option here.

Institutions apparently don't matter, so it's okay.

didn't an airline company just ban kids from first class too? KIDSISM

y2hh what do you think of airbnb?

Same. It's tough when you are making enough money to live but are still putting off major stuff.

it sucks b/c i let my girlfriend get the delivered movies while I got the streaming.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 09:48 PM) no you go to hell. no steve, you.

xrt isn't trash. go to hell.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 07:22 PM) And I call complaining about gay people being loud with their homosexuality reaching. You have to meet someone on their grounds. I can see J4L probably making the most flamboyant of gay culture in his idea of a gay person (see: big gay al post). And I think he's using that as a shield. And when it's pointed out he wouldn't want to hang out with bros either, it's beside the point, which is that that stereotype really has nothing to do with them being gay as much as having a loud personality.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 07:29 PM) Why are you being so loud with your heterosexuality? I find it offensive. Well, I mean, I wouldn't want to live with a huge Bro. A very flamboyant gay person might not fit your personality. But it also doesn't have much to do with them being gay.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 06:39 PM) http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writ...ml?eref=writers This was from yesterday but I didnt see it posted yet. Not surprising,but what does everyone want for him? Dan Hudson (sorry)

I really hope you do live with a gay person J4L, you'd probably soon be on our side. Plus you'd probably go to a lot of fun parties.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) And you're naive if you don't think 99% of fathers or future fathers don't agree with me. I just come out and say it without trying to look like a nice guy. If I came home one day and saw my 6-year old son kissing another 6-year old boy, I'd go f***ing apes***. I'm not going to try to be understanding. I'm gonna be like WTF is going on and attempt to put an end to it immediately. Anybody who disagrees, I'm going to pull a Balta, you're lying to me and yourself. No, we're not lying. While I have a problem with kids kissing each other that young, there is nothing abnormal or wrong about being gay. I'd love my son for who he is.
