My coworker wasn’t really a stupid person, yet firmly believed every idiotic conspiracy mentioned in this article along with many others. It’s sad that with so many really interesting things history, journalism, non-fiction and science can teach us about the world, people are forming their whole world view based on…

So these are supernodes. It’s a feature, not a bug. The problem is Facebook period. 

The USPS provides a government service just like any other department — not sure why we should expect it to break-even or turn a profit any more than, say,  the Army or the National Weather Service or any other department ...

One problem I keep running into, living in a deeply Democratic state/district - every time these “oppose Trump’s latest buffoonery/illegal action” calls come up - who am I supposed to call? Representatives that are already on the front line voting against him every step of the way? I need people from Florida, Ohio,…

Well I can appreciate commenting on subject that they have no interest in but decide to comment on it anyways .  I can see the appeal of this. 1800 movies and 300 to series it would be cool to generate a easy playlist.

To conservatives, an even playing field and equality is oppression. If they don’t get preferental treatment, they scream “cancel culture” and “censorship”.

Predictions have a down side - 4 years ago they predicted a landslide win for Hillary so people got complacent and didn’t go out to vote, and you see where that got us.

I hate to use that over-used ‘boiled frog’ analogy, but things are going to get a little worse, then they’re going to get a little worse, then they’re going to get a little worse, then they’re going to get a little worse, then they’re going to get a little worse, then they’re going to get a little worse, then they’re…

I’m really torn on if I want more of this Watchmen or not. It was so well realized and handled (minus the low rent cosplay nature of one character near the end) that I don’t want them to screw it up just by adding more for the sake of more. If someone can come up with a compelling and worthy follow up I’m all for it,…

We are one step away from the government telling us Trump has no anus and was born in a land of unicorns.

“I don’t think it’s the government’s place to tell everybody to do that”

It’s a good thing none of the kids will go home, get over it, and pass it on to the rest of the family, including at-risk individuals like Granny and Gramps.

Don’t. Trust. Facebook.

That’s just bad storytelling though. As it stands, it’s the payoff to the earlier scene’s setup; by itself it’d just be a bit of fanservice apropos of nothing. We got that with Maul’s cameo in Solo, which just felt tacked-on.

Remember - all that violence that Trump says could happen if Biden becomes president actually is happening while Trump is President.

Like, why are people still considering voting this guy in? Just “anybody but Trump”? It is insane that anybody is still considering this guy.

“Ten comments later, I was in a bad mood and regretted the whole thing.” This is such a powerful observation, not just with internet commenting but anything that drains you or puts you in a shitty mood that you KNOW you shouldn’t do but you do anyway. Fantastic piece.

America can’t even decide whether or not COVID-19 is a problem.
