Well this is motherfucking wonderful: after I’d claimed a burner Kinja account, and pasted the password into an unsaved text editor document, but before I’d managed to save it or put it in my lastpass account, my system crashed. So now I think I’m OK on this system as long as my cookie lasts, but I can’t ever log into…

also what the fuck is up with that URL auto-converter? no, that whole thing is not one big link.

Here’s my first observation: there’s no default redirect to TLS (i.e. if you go to http://www.avclub.com you don’t get redirected to https://www.avclub.com ) and even if you explicitly go to https://www.avclub.com all the article links are to non-TLS URLs (e.g. the link to this article sends you to http://www.avclub.co…

testing with some addons...

welcome to the nightmare...

eh, there's different ways to whole foods. if you're some kinda LA cartoon character rich person, sure, you can fill your fridge with their stuff. but otherwise you can just buy a few things from them where it actually makes a difference (like good cheese and some specific produce), then just go across the street to a…

Yeah, that fallacy irks me too. Especially because it's *really fucking old* but people don't learn; they just keep on drawing their damn adoption curves based on the early uptake, and constantly being shocked - shocked! - that some people just never get on board. Just because *some* people adopt Thing doesn't mean…

well, because:

Cole says that Whedon wrote to her: "When I was running Buffy, I was surrounded by beautiful, needy, aggressive young women. It felt like I had a disease, like something from a Greek myth. Suddenly I am a powerful producer and the world is laid out at my feet and I can’t touch it."

A couple of years back I wandered into a coffee shop here in Vancouver. Everything was stainless steel, wood, and/or exposed brick. Every single person in the damn place was sitting in front of a Mac. Every guy in the place had a stupid beard, incredibly expensive jeans, and some kind of dumbass ironic t-shirt. And…

Don't forget the wise, level-headed and perfectly pitched intervention by *Lindsey fucking Graham*…

Wait a minute, Andrew Bird is touring with B&S? If they're doing my town and I missed it already I'm going to…well, I guess it'd be appropriate to sit in my bedroom and mope quietly, right?

"Beat a Nazi by proving yourself superior, not by giving in to
incitement."

gee, it's nice when you tentatively reach out an olive branch and someone bites you in the hand, huh.

Um…but you said "Would you side with a liberal driving a car into a bunch of them? No.
Of course not. You'd be insane to do that. I assume you actually care
about the law, yeah?"

"The Counter-protesters gave them exactly what they wanted….because the
old line of "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to my
death your right to say it" isn't something people of college age seem
to believe anymore."

"No. Of course not. You'd be insane to do that. I assume you actually care about the law, yeah?"

Well no, no it isn't. For a start, I didn't actually *argue* anything. I pointed out that your characterization of an action was incorrect. You may infer whatever you like from this, of course, but I did not in fact do anything beyond that; there is no 'argument' in my post.
