I did not know that, & I appreciate your comment clarifying why the flippant tone of the article isn’t horrifying. Thank you.

When Will Arnett and Amy Poehler split up 10 years ago, I wouldn’t have guessed in a million years that he would have a better reputation than her in 2022.

We’re stopping the rise of fascism in America like we’re stopping climate change.

Capitalist society is hellscape enough for us adults, with every little damn facet of daily existence carrying a price. The commenters arguing that kids can (and should) be expected to learn about debt the hard way lack empathy and understanding that kids lack the developmental capacity to “buyer beware.”

“...he may of collapsed...”    Something’s wrong here.

I know AV Club is little more than US Weekly Lite these days but jesus christ, who cares? What is newsworthy about any of this? Was there any point in writing this beyond not-so-subtly helping Styles promote his album?

There is an old episode of “Bullshit!” with Penn and Teller about gun control. It ends with a young boy, who was a big fan of CoD, being taken to a range with his mother and being allowed to fire an AR.

I fire real guns semi-regularly and videogame guns extremely regularly...

There is nothing, NOTHING in a videogame that can prepare you for that level of force and power.

Nothing can prepare you for the first time a round gets jammed, and for half a second you feel like you’re holding a timebomb.

I have a friend who works at Comcast and he claims that for years the company that owned Red Box actively lobbied against getting state and federal funds to expand high speed internet to rural areas because they knew once people could stream shit their last market was dead. Apparently Family Video spend money doing…

Looks like a really popular video game that I can’t get into.

...it’s almost as if we live in a nation with precious little respect or protection for regular working people!

I like that “minimalistic” interior. Most high-end RVs have interior designs like a cross between a poor person’s idea of a Vegas high roller’s suite and an upscale whorehouse.

hurting themselves and risking grievous injuries for the enjoyment of a bunch of creeps

I like how they call anyone who just doesn’t want them clogging up the roads in their town “Antifa,” as if being opposed to traffic jams is some sort of radical left conspiracy.

These Freedom convoy jack-offs are the most pathetic bunch of losers on the planet.

Does NOT Compute! Twenty-two years old, quarter of a million miles, nearly $13,000, poor-to-miserable fuel mileage when we’re routinely seeing $4/gallon (or more) at the pump. The asking price is absurd . . . and yet, it will sell close to asking because the world is crazy right now. No Dice.

I am sometimes guilty of giving people driving etiquette reeducations on the highway. If i get a chance to pin an aggressive driver into a deep right lane backup I will. I love to bait the guys who are weaving in and out of lanes to get stuck behind something slow.

Really amazed at the “both-sides-ism” here.
