One problem I almost always have with post-apocalyptic scenarios is the ease of life afterward. Something had to end civilization. If it is, say, a disease, then sure, you're left with everything you had before. If it is akin to Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", you're pretty much shit out of luck.

I kinda think it's the default after having that much work done.

Bah, those "poor" people had a big ass bowl of onions. Am I supposed to feel sorry for them? Death on a massive scale and lots of onions means stew, and lots of it.

Not every problem, there'll be a porn shortage.

It's just B. The universe is telling us we should all just B. The world would be a better place.

Well, I'd point back to the point, what Ricky Gervais said.

I think the fatal error is pretty obvious. If he had been a budding Steven Spielberg, the average person wouldn't even know what he looks like. He wouldn't have been the face of the movement, he would have given the film a Ugandan face and a Ugandan voice.

Sure, you can have a position, I think everyone should. I think almost everyone will agree with our shared position on the Zimmerman character, too.

I agree. I think a lot of cultures get a pass when we look back simply because they were too embarrassed to even address it in official documents and literature. That doesn't mean the neighbors wouldn't have stoned you to death if you tried to live openly with your partner, they just didn't document it after they…

When it isn't linking it's just regurgitating unattributed snark they got elsewhere, my point is 90% of offense is bandwagoning crap. People get offended in herds. Just look around here.

Did she actually hit someone? I thought police found that the guy made it up.

I was under the impression that open homosexuality caused a loss of caste, even in pre-colonial India.

I'm kind of surprised how easy going we've gotten. A few years ago someone throwing white powder would have had the whole place quarantined and people in hazmat suits testing for anthrax.

Isn't it sort of mob rules on what is offensive, though? That makes good sense in some cases, others, and with how things work online, I dunno. Taking offense is kind of viral, like the Kony thing. It was warmly accepted virally, then it was offensive virally.

Would be just as good. The problem seems to be that the adjectives are what matters, and not the 'planet' thing that seems to evade definition.

They were funny, but I'm surprised by a sudden rush of appreciation for these poor souls who were so much like us. How much of what we have would have been lost without their efforts? Thank you, wherever you are.

A lot of this mess could just be resolved by ditching the word "planet" and replacing it with "thinger". We'd have "Big, Gassy Thinger", "Small, Rocky Thinger", etc., etc.

I'm sure nothing could possibly be "too thin" for Uncle Karl.

Awesome. Now I can say my lack of sex is just sex that's too dirty and irresponsible to report...

If I were Justin Beiber I would have so much fun with stuff like this. I'd be tweeting how awesome Milli Vanilli is just to see the confused looks and sales spikes.
