There are two kind of people I consider curmudgeons when it comes to beggars night:
People who insist on handing out things other than candy, as though indulging in sweets one night a year is directly responsible for any and all child obesity.
People who do hand out candy, but get pissy when people show up whom they don't personally approve of. "Damn teenagers, trick-or-treating is for kids!!" "These kids came from another neighborhood just to get more candy!!"

There was a lady around here last year who gave out Grapples.
I think she should get a pass cuz A) those things are fucking expensive and B) the novelty of an apple that tastes like a grape is weird enough that kids are into it.

This is our first "fall back" with Vanilla 2.1
Let's find out if it handles the time change any more gracefully than Vanilla 2.0 did

Random chatter: the toy section at Roses makes Wal-Mart look like FAO Schwarz
I mean, we're talking absolute bottom-of-the-barrel, sub-dollar-store levels of cheapness and shoddy construction, here
I have convinced my self to go to a college party. Not a true and proper one, but it'll have alcohol and I won't know most of the people there, so it counts more than anything else i've been to.

Have fun! Make sure to only drink booze classy enough to be worth getting drunk on, though. Anything less and you'll just feel kind of trashy in the morning.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, hold on. This isn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation, or the building of a dam. Dinosaurs had their shot, and nature selected them for extinction.
John Hammond: I simply don't understand this Luddite attitude, especially from a scientist. I mean, how can we stand in the light of discovery, and not act?
Dr. Ian Malcolm: What's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.
Dr. Byron J. Thinkpiece from the audience: Hmm, I am certainly having my intellect tickled by this film.

pffffffft, i'm not going there to drink alcohol
I'm going to watch other people drink alcohol and eat all the chips
that's not hyperbole. this is going to cost 5 bucks out of pocket. that's enough for a day's worth of groceries, and I intend on making up for it

Eating all the chips is a good plan, but good alcohol is not expensive. If $5 is the price of entry, you make that money work.
Completely fair. I apologise if I seemed excessively forward.
This said, I was not actually suggesting getting drunk, merely suggesting that availing oneself of expensive proffered beverages in reasonable amounts seems like a good investment. Particularly liqueurs, which are really tasty and more syrup than booze much of the time.

Chris Pratt: Building a super-dinosaur is a stupid move that didn't need to happen.
Dr. Byron J. Thinkpiece from the audience: What is this misogynist dreck? I spit on it, and all its children.
if you are suggesting that Jurassic World was devoid of misogyny i must protest (and it had nothing to do with oppostion to super-dinosaurs)
if you are just pointing out that the first movie gets a pass for bad stuff while the most recent gets attacked over comparatively benign elements then that's a completely fair point
I haven't gone to any parties yet, and don't plan on doing so.
I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't gotten to see my friends on campus recently, though. I may have been willing to go out tonight if I knew their plans and had a costume, but eh.
“She’s not really nude … but that’s what it makes you think of,” O’Connor explained. “So one of the reasons she [chooses to appear without clothes] is to attract and demand attention. And she does it to put people off so that they’re on their guard when talking to her and she has the upper hand in those conversations.
...The only Reach I know of that was bigger than this one got destroyed by the Covenant.

What's weird to me about O'Connor / 343 addressing it and attempting to justify it is the fact that, honestly, they didn't really need to; they weren't responsible for Cortana's design prior to the fourth game and they ended up going with a look that clarified the fact that she appeared to have clothes on in the fifth one.
I feel like it'd be more reasonable to just cut the faux-backstory bullshit and say that the way she looked was grandfathered in from the Bungie entries.

This is also true, though there are some exceptions, as liqueurs can sometimes be more alcoholic than than some spirits and can have as much as 55% abv. For example Goldschlager which is delicious and has a slightly higher abv than a lot of spirits. It's not a liqueur, but as far as drinks that have less alcohol than liquors go, I'd recommend a nice port wine to go with a dinner or after dinner, as long a you don't buy a cheap one (i.e Don't buy the 8$ bottle of port wine from the grocery store, though I will say the cheap stuff isn't half bad, even if I wouldn't call it great).
One Yakuza group cancelled their annual trick or treating event out of fear that a recent split would lead to violence.
What kind of world is this where good honest mobsters can't run a fun event for the whole family?????
In Japan, unlike other mobs, the Yakuza aren't actually illegal and are regarded as a corporation, which leads to weirdness like this. Of course it also lead to events where the family of a police officer who was killed in a gang war was able to sue the Yakuza for 80 million Yen.

Also, Stuff You Like did a less technical attack on the same concept recently that was pretty solid.
