Is anyone else just tired of the way all the headlines around this imply something like “the invention of kissing” or “first kiss happened at this time” etc? It’s like: no, this is just the oldest exemplar of a record about it. It was almost certainly going on for thousands of years before. 

Freedom of speech is hugely important, and doubly so when it comes to bad people. You -want- to know what they believe.

So no one is going to pay them ;)

It’s good progress. I won’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good on this one. This technology will eventually help cut down some gun death numbers: good! It’s the vape vs cigarette situation: I’d much rather people vape than use cigarettes, but of course fewer people would die if they did neigher. 

If NPR only receives 1% of funding from the government (and I believe them), I’d actually recommend they stop doing so.

This is the man who saved gaming.

People keep saying this, but other than an occasional brainstorming session, the in office experience seems mostly to consist of annoyances, interruptions, and people stressed about commutes. I fail to see the benefits. 

I think part of the charm is someone from one culture attempting things from another. It’s a very peculiarly American thing to be offended about one person trying something outside of their own experience. Oddly, I think most Americans would argue that is exactly the point of America, but many people today certainly…

Hey. Everyone with strong opinions about who should be in this. Have you SEEN THE MOVIE? Take a look at the people in the background. The whole point is that these guys are being kicked out of a lily white colonial party. There aren’t any southeast asian dancers in this scene either. (This is the part where the…

You expect AVClub readers to actually -watch- the movie they have strong opinions about? 

Producer: “There’s an unexpected twist in this Jordan Peele movie.”

The snake eats its own tail. The wolf eats its own young. These things are mostly about convenience and probably whomever their casting crew had on rolodex. You can’t really win. There will always be someone angry. 

I haven’t read the book, so I’m not making an opinion statement other than that characteristics of bad people aren’t demonized de facto. Draco Malfoy had blonde hair. I don’t feel blonde people are being demonized. To the extent that she might be using an allegory to express how she feels (trans person killing an…

Come on now, nothing beats Brother Justin.

The Warrens were such incredible frauds, it is really hard to see them glorified in these films. I mean they were the most literal hucksters, making a career out of BSing people and just straight up lying. Honestly wouldn’t want to see them featured in anything. 

So.... Salesforce should stop paying for advertising? Or something? And that’s going to help them..... something something?

When I see “passion” on a resume, I usually discard it immediately unless it’s in a “hobbies” section.

But what if they are a slightly tanned person? Is it still colonialism then?

Exactly this. Why give away 2 hours of your day to driving or commuting? How about this: work from home and give 1 of those hours to your company. Everyone wins. 

Hey there, the 1800s just called and they want your opinion back.

Work from home is the best thing that’s happened to workers since weekends.
