“Because _____ has always been _____, so we should continue to do it” has always & will always be a piss-poor argument against change. Hell, it doesn’t deserve to be recognized as an argument - it’s simply small-minded inertia & laziness.

I’d like to know the number of instances where being required to pay 5 or 10 cents per bag is going to make a difference in someone’s grocery buying. It’s not like a paper grocery bag can’t be reused a dozen times or more (pandemic restrictions aside, of course).

It’s almost as if China is a place where they casually run over protesters with tanks.

I mean, you're NOT a commie just because people might say you are. Words mean things. 

Don’t carry a weapon unless you intend to use it, and ALWAYS assume that people around you don’t know you are the “good guy”. Unfortunately, the guy in the car can easily argue that he felt threatened, because he was approached by someone carrying a gun. It’s sad, but when two people with guns approach each other the…

Does lying to yourself actually help?

There has been a 800% increase in the number of potted plants in and around my home.  I’d say my wife needs to be stopped but it seems to be bringing her some joy while the outside world continues to be a dumpster fire.  At least I know what a Fiddle Fig is now...

Phonebooth doors open in the middle of a city, and there’s no one around.

This movie needs to take place in 2022 or something, and make a joke about “NEVER travel to 2020.”

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Alex Winter a few times. We live in Austin, and when he promotes his documentaries, he usually comes to town and does screenings of the new stuff, retrospectives of films like Freaked and Q & As and stuff like that.

I can’t help it. I laugh my ass off everytime I see Rip Bill and Swole Ted. I just want to see these guys promote themselves in WWE or UFC or something as versions of those characters.

It’s the result of the commentariat complaining about politics every time the AVClub posts an article about the last happenings from That fucking idiot.

This sounds like a job for Twitter bots.

Say what you want about her choice, but damn....... it worked. The cops were so confused they left.

I mean pickles on sandwiches of all kinds predates Chickfila probably by a century.
