The perception is that the dude screwed up, failed to follow directions. Which is technically, if only technically, true.

As a white person I can say I fear the so-called “purge” not being imaginary anymore after enough brutal and senseless murders like this one, even if that’s the only circumstance in which it ceases to be a paranoid fantasy.

Feels like an anti-drone measure, to me. Clear the skies of things you don’t want up there, that are difficult to find or hit from the ground, and invisible or untouchable from conventional warcraft, save a too-obvious dude hanging out the door of a helicopter with a shotgun he’s never going to get into range with in…

Strewth.  I’m sure there’s more to spend it on in LA, but I also bet that a Billion dollars goes a lot further in Sweden, on top of being his familiar home and not as objectively insane as LA culture, even compared to the rest of America.  They don’t call it La La Land for nothing.

I can see multiple ways in which Notch’s windfall could induce all kinds of psychological problems, from melancholy on up.

Yeah, they make do with the occasional rape of a staffer or their housekeeper, and an unnecessary Xanax, Oxy, or Vicodin prescription.  Maybe some weed they have a story ready to blame on said housekeeper if it’s ever found.

When her ideas are just too sensible and must be discredited at any cost, “she’s just a waitress; she shouldn’t be writing policy”

I fear otherwise, but really, a campaign based heavily if not entirely on “No Collusion After All!” should fail just as badly as Hillary’s “Look How Awful the Other Guy Is” strategy.

Er, am I the only one who can’t figure out what in the nine circles of Hell “volunteer work” and letting the city keep his bail has to do with whether there’s any evidence of his guilt or not?  Which probably ought to be the primary, if not the only determining factor in whether charges are pressed or dropped, no?

No love for the bowdlerisms in The Good Place? Holy motherforking shirtballs, that’s a shame.

I missed the call for these, but I don’t think my three worst would have passed muster against some of the above.

I thought the purpose was so that you can’t easily tell that they’re doing exactly that in the first place.  It’s all theater.

That’s just asking for your car to be torched, your house and Wikipedia page vandalized, etc.  Doesn’t justify it, but sure is asking for it...

Not to mention all the AR-15s in the world are not going to enable a successful insurrection against the 2st century U.S. Army, Marines, and Reserves. Having a volunteer (well, mostly volunteer) military in the first place is the best real insurance we have (such as it is) against tyranny of that scale. The idea that…

One does tend to irrationally fear that which one desires to do or routinely does, but feels guilty about. Repressed parents fear their kids masturbating, etc. People with violence in their hearts fear violence more than those that don’t.

Aspartame doesn’t cause cancer. Hell, neither does the original, demonized sugar-substitute, Saccharine. Well, it will if you eat your body weight in it for half your life, like they fed to the rats in the infamous study. You’d have to be eating literal cakes of the raw powder by the double-handful, daily, for…

What kind of push is really coming to shove in a grocery store, though?  What’s the absolute worst, most frustrating or enraging kind of conflict you can have there?  Line-cutting?  Come on.

Not that the completely unreasonable, fully-entitled outrage over stupid, petty, minor, inconsequential stuff doesn’t happen, because it does... but I’d counterpart this headline with:

And yet, Apple fans still act mystified at where all the vitriolic hate comes from...

Sounds perfectly fine to me, so long as it comes with the requisite 30%-40% boost in gross salary it’s going to require to hire my own accountant, buy my own health insurance (and possibly for my family - in which case make it a solid 50% bump at least), allow me to build up a nest egg that protects me against…
