In this case, the market will eliminate Uber.

Yeah, I mean, there’s plenty to be said about the condition of the traditional taxi industry, but the solution to that problem is not for an unscrupulous company like Uber to drop in and “disrupt.” We must remember that it is not Uber’s goal to be the ideal answer to all of the problems with the taxi system, but to…

But for many people, they don’t understand the distinction and will herald the triumph of FF at CES.

But we did it.

Oh fucking please, like they wouldn’t have been delighted to perform for someone like Ted Cruz who, let’s all remember, would have been just as much a disaster, if not more so—in bottom line material terms, as opposed to mere hurt feelings—than Trump stands to be.

Voting without care for your own damn self, because you’re just that dumb.

How do we get evening news to start covering platforms and stop covering scandals?

As terrifying as this whole thing, the schadenfreude I get from seeing supporters’ eyes open about how they were conned has been beautiful. Just beautiful.

Exactly what I was thinking, too. I haven’t followed hockey since I was in 4th grade. Jagr was a favorite back then. I’m 35 now and the dude is still on the ice. Incredible.

The “elites” they were angry at were the ones who they saw as betraying the interests of White America.

But this is America, which means that your solutions would be loopholed into meaninglessness almost immediately. Pre-existing assets would fall into accountant-jiggered “holding corporation” abysses, as would any income (from speeches, say) generated during the 5-year ban period after one’s presidency had ended. Once…

This SNL crap is just another form of normalization. The “resistance” moves into cheap late-night TV comedy, where all of the commentary is divorced from real-world efficacy, and only serves to placate the already-converted.

Go watch Adam Curtis’s HyperNormalisation, then come back and re-test those arguments about how pop culture and comedy will save us from a reality that’s trending in a bad direction. I’m sorry, but this cheap SNL shit is a form of resignation. We accept that we can’t win in politics, so we retreat to the world of…

NASA in the 60's all going out into space like chumps... but you know, defund NASA because the private sector is the capitalist messiah.

The endings were fine. People just couldn’t handle that the series was over.

2 years sober next month, and I’ll be dealing with the repercussions of this for the rest of my life.

Most people that complain about ME3, do so because there’s literally no way for it to end that would have made those people happy.

Totally effed up that they brought a baby into this - she got pregnant like, what, a week after they got together? Ugh people.

Because she technically assaulted him and he was technically defending himself.

But I’m getting hung up on the notion that they *couldn’t* cast an Asian actor because “stereotypes.”
