We live in a similar neighbourhood. Essentially, people are grasping toward an aspirational life.

I cut off contact with my mom two years ago this month. As much as I wish the circumstances were different I also... still just feel really good being free of her. She was emotionally pretty abusive and my brother was pure hell and the two of them have always had a disgusting codependent thing that made my young life…

Ok, I’m inspired to give Sense8 another try. I liked it but Mr Flection was kind of down on it. I’ll just watch it on my own then won’t I ? You can’t go wrong with those directors ( forget their name offhand) and Darryl Hanah. I think half the reason I love her so much lately is her politics. Also Dr Strangelove is…

Oscars thread !!!

I almost had to restrain my own laughter during the meeting that my boss was actually trying to make ME feel like a greedy asshole because I was demanding a raise that, percentage-wise, was still only half the raise given to the CEO. A CEO who was already earning a salary forty times higher than mine before his raise.

Yep. That’s the corporate world.

I consider Blizzard to to be the opposite of Activision. Which is why I worry about their future. If Blizzard falls too far behind their partners, then calls of ‘well, their way doesn’t really work’. Then that will be the end of their quality releases, and their properties will go on a yearly conveyor belt of misery.

“about employees not actually realizing how much of a difference there is between their salaries and the CEO.”

That statement is missing a couple instances of ‘innovative’, ‘disrupt’, and ‘engagement’, but with a few tweaks I think that kid will be ready for his SXSW speech.

Casual observation show that conservatives have no appreciation for what they have or how they got theirs...just “I got mine, fuck you.”

I’ll see your bet on Born That Way and raise you Poker Face. No way Pence knows that song is about trying to make sure the dude you’re banging doesn’t realize you’re thinking about banging girl the whole time.

Being too stupid has yet to stop anyone in this administration.

“Born This Way” literally says every word in LGBT. It’s not even a metaphor. If he can’t figure out “no matter gay straight or bi, lesbian transgender life/ I’m on the right track baby/ I was born to survive,” he might actually be too stupid to implement Trump’s autocracy.

If Michelle Bachmann didn’t know “Firework” was for the gay community and Paul Ryan didn’t know he was the machine in “Rage Against the Machine” and Ronald Reagan didn’t know “Born in the USA” wasn’t about patriotism, I don’t have much hope that Mike Pence will understand what “Born This Way” is about.

Putin wrote it and faxed it over.

Removing someone from your life who does not add anything and only creates problems is a mature and healthy thing to do.

Bannon has to be in the running for grossest person ever.

It’s genuinely as if they’re actually trying to destroy everything. Every action they’ve taken or suggested is exactly the opposite of what would be beneficial. I just don’t understand how anyone is still defending him/them, when he’s destroying their lives and futures.
