The word you are searching for is “cliche” not “trope” - tropes are not bad, tropes are everything. Subverting expectations is a trope. It’s called a cliche when it’s over used and predictable to the point of being boring.

She wasn’t wrong about AIPAC, but fucking come on, you can’t just say Jews control America through money (“All about the Benjamins”) with no context in a tweet. It was just really, really, really stupid.

Tell me he doesn’t look like The Rock’s Scorpion King in The Mummy 2.

Comment section so far is juuuuuuuust about what was expected.

I understand they are evil, but I’ve only had a late package once or twice and each time Amazon compensated me for it.

Everyone just needs to relax on this. It’s the holidays and all shipping companies/options are overloaded. Prime is still worth the cost if you get more than a few deliveries a year that you need quickly, not to mention the offerings for Prime Reading and Prime Video. Their TOU even says that some areas and items…

It didn’t happen to me, anyone in my family, any of my friends, or any of my co-workers in the last decade+. You know what did happen? Nearly all of them had their credit card and debit card info stolen at some point and had $1000's worth of merchandise stolen on their accounts.

If you want to be paranoid about…

Adam, enough of this. Unless you’re moving into the wild to live off the land, you aren’t escaping the absence of privacy.

I see this everywhere and it blithely ignores that Israel is FULL OF JEWISH PEOPLE and people often use antisemitic tropes to attack Israel. Let’s not act like there is not overlap there and that every criticism of Israel is somehow…

Holy shit, if you can’t trust football coaches & Catholic priests these days who can you trust?

Being anti-Zionist is often how people on the left of the political spectrum, express antisemitism. This happened especially in the 70s in socialist or communist circles in Europe and America, well before some antisemities on the left were able to use the Palestinian cause as a convenient cover.

Psst. Don’t tell anybody, bc it would ruin the joke, but he’s totally keeping the headphones and is actually truly grateful for them. But he couldn’t resist the joke about offering them up for trade. 

They need a better evacuation plan. 

Yeah but still.

I still think a team of American beats that team. It would be a team of someone’s nighttime imaginings. A Team of Dreams if you will.

This is what middle managers think smart people sound like.

Here are some writers who are butt:

I would love to do this but I also enjoy the routine of getting out of bed, throwing on some clothes, and trying to cook unsatisfying waffles in a room full of groggy strangers while fox news blares in the background.

This one scares me a little bit. She’s a candidate that I think is more about jumping on a bandwagon for a popular platform and less about actually believing in it. I know people like to reference it as a smear campaign, but dismissing some of it is basically the Trump “fake news” strategy.
