Burneko, I love your writing, but this is horrifically misguided. It doesn’t matter if the old Star Wars movies suck! They don’t have to be amazing pieces of character stretching story. Think of some of its influences, those old Errol Flynn swashbuckling flicks. Guess what? Their characterization is paltry, and there…

Larry David as Bernie Sanders was objectively the bee’s knees, but I’m surprised no one’s talking about how thoroughly SNL just eviscerated him. In the span of like three lines, SNL managed to utterly destroy him. Besides being an anonymous goon with little redeeming social value, I would point to that skit as the…

Never forget that Aubrey is BFFs with The Weeknd, whose first album (House of Balloons, I don’t care that it’s technically a mixtape) was basically one big ripoff of the Toronto producer that originally worked with him.

SO played out, but I keep coming back to Pilot G-2 pens, with the .05 width. Such a pleasing line, great flow, feel great in the hand, satisfying click, and you can refill the ink cartridges, making them ever so slightly more environmentally sustainable.

Considering the restaurant in the story had several varieties of food that could be classified as “dip,” I wouldn’t have the foggiest what she was talking about.

We actually agree on WAY more than I expected. People like your friend are what I think is broken about cycling. You still have to obey the rules of the road, and if you absolutely MUST swerve through traffic (buses, taxis, etc), at least do so as considerately as possible.

It’s not really a full stop, so much as a slightly slower one whose momentum I then parlay into getting more speed if there are no cars around. Otherwise, I just perch on my pedals and wait my turn.

You definitely see examples of people who are complete assholes (Critical Mass, I’m looking at you), but I don’t think it’s necessarily black and white. The way I do it, I’m very careful about how I break the rules of the road, and it’s always in an effort to avoid further traffic. I read an article a while ago that…

It’s cool that you can doubt people based solely on your empirical knowledge. It’s almost like there’s a difference between San Fran and Chicago! North Ave and Ridge Ave are known deathtraps where I’ve had experiences, and I’ve ridden along several different stretches of Halsted and Cortland where drivers have…

1. No idea if you’re asking Thompson or the crowd (or both!), but I think the Sixers have a facade of being entertaining. They’re still raw enough where you’ll see lots of stupid mistakes.

I agree with what you’re saying, but this is the EXACT rationalization I use to roll-stop through red lights, ride through traffic, etc., when I’m on my bicycle. When I lived in Chicago, I had drivers legitimately try to kill me EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN A BIKE LANE, so I just figured it made more sense to bend laws in the…

Internet perfection

Nah, my PS4 is pretty damn slick. No complaints: games are awesome, their indie section is better developed than XBone, and their deemphasis on online play means I don’t have to squabble with pubescent madmen.

Good lord I needed this post, and this win. On the verge of tears right now; fuck the Cardinals forever and ever.

It’s almost like there are OTHER players on the team, without whom victory is impossible!

Packers beating the Steelers for the Super Bowl, after I’d spent hours praying to Vince Lombardi. During the final minutes, I’d barricaded myself in another room that my friend had kindly set up a stream for, because I was a mess of nerves and unfit to deal with humans.

God DAMN that is some fire kinja

So stupid. +1

One thing I noticed in the first half (I’m old and went to bed at halftime) was that Graham was noticeably out of sync with the offensive playcalling. There were a few passes thrown his way that were seemingly designed to be fades to the corner, but he cut in towards the middle instead. Either the QB or his TE (or…
