Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Last I heard, Coca-cola still uses Coca leaf extract for flavoring, though obviously without the active ingredient for cocaine.
How does one develop an aversion to Lidocaine, I'm , uhh, asking for a friend...
Response to medications is super variable between people.
On one end of the spectrum you have antibiotics which are nice and consistent. On the other you have psych meds.

I don't have an aversion, but I do have a resistance.
Genetics, in all it's wonderful and unpredictably variable glory. I wouldn't recommend it.
Antibiotics are very prone to causing allergic reactions in the susceptible. I'm not allergic to anything except an antibiotic.

Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
I don't know about a regular cleaning but as someone who apparently has nerve clusters not quite in the right place in their mouth and has a body that flushes all of the novocaine away from their teeth and into the rest of their face in like 10-15 minutes? I fucking wish.
Having a crown put on when the novocaine wear off halfway through a crown is a hell of an experience. That I've had three times >_<

The song and dance number at the end is just amazeballs. Give that man and his crew some (more) awards!
Oh, and Bob Murray (the rich douche-canoe of this episode making a reappearance on the show) can go fuck himself.
He really wants Bob Murray to sue him again, doesn't he?
It's an issue for frivolous copyright claims too. Lawful Masses on YouTube covers a lot of those, the host Leonard French being a copyright attorney by trade, and he always gets downright giddy when a copyright troll manages to get in trouble.
He is doing good work. A true American hero.
He's British but America should claim him for all the great work he's done.
They actually bring that up in the song and dance number (the "Bob Murray dips his balls in my hot dog water" part, I believe); he can't sue them again because their comedy show falls under the parody clause, basically, as ruled by the judge when Murray dropped his suit.
America is broken in so many tiny ways all over the place
I mean, I'm sure someone has a better, factual, non-pithy answer.
But that does seem to sum it up as well.
They were impeached but not convicted/removed. Basically, the Chief Justice was MASSIVELY corrupt (the one Oliver joked about), and the others were more low level corrupt like abusing government vehicles and going to expensive lunches on the government's dime, so the House said "fuck it" and impeached the whole lot for lack of oversight and abusing money.
Two resigned (including the one Oliver joked about, who was convicted in a criminal court), one was reprimanded, and an injunction blocked impeachment from proceeding against any of the others, but they were likely to be only reprimanded too.
Murray Energy operates a coal mine in West Virginia, which is technically owned by "The Marshall County Coal Company". (This is done to limit liability. If somehow this company gets a huge fine, you can just shut down the company to stop it from reaching your real company.) "The Marshall County Coal Company" is one of the entities that sued HBO and John Oliver, which gives them standing, under the principle that defamation against the CEO is also defamation against their company. (HBO's lawyers were arguing that this wasn't good enough. I haven't been able to find the Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim, which should contain that argument. The judge did not rule on that, as the case was dismissed for other reasons.)
I will also point out that this never got to trial. Essentially the judge read the Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim, said "Yeah, that sound about right", and dismissed the case with prejudice....and it only took eight months. Then it got appealed.

For a more upbeat moment.
My favorite part of that is John throwing the bottle.
I cannot believe that the Japanese town is going along with this.
Or AT&T for that matter.

Color me baffled that people go through this much clothing.
Yeah the average seems incredibly high and confusing to me as someone who only buys new clothes when current ones don't fit or get damaged. Like I probably buy less than the average of the 80s in a given year. And certainly don't only wear a clothing item only 3 times.
But that's averages for you, when you're an outlier.

Hey hey I'm not a sad nerd thank you, I'm very positive

I’m trying to find the video, unfortunately google is failing me, but it was definitely one of the Daily Show alumni covering the use of sweatshops for rapid fashion changes to keep people buying clothes.
My ragged Yugioh t-shirt is not sad! It's eco-friendly!
My response was "turning one of the last bastions of unionised labour into low-quality sweatshops is not the answer to digital distribution disruption".
Honestly, if you are shopping at these places all the time, I could believe it.
The #1 thing with the clothing from fast fashion places is that it's CRAAAAAAAAP. That shit is garbage. You can feel it if you have enough experience with what good clothing feels like. It's cheap and it falls apart quickly. You pay way less for it but it's gonna fall apart or look shitty fairly quickly.
So you combine a lack of durability with some people trying to stay trendy and I can see some serious churn in many people's wardrobes.
Yeah quality on certain items is definitely shit. Like you get what you paid for is certainly in play here.

Putting a pin in the philanthropy of billionaires.
Now with a lot of these shows I get the need for comedy cause these are bitter pills to swallow. Yet it always feels like a weird thing of "hey these people are actively destructive but man what a bad haircut!"
Sometimes it feels like these shows are just trying to get in cheap jokes and not foster change because hey, we just laughed at how silly this person despite them having an inordinate amount of control over our lives! We sure showed them!
But then the alternative might just be outright despair?
Or maybe I'm just mad at myself that I don't do more.
