It isn’t just that our specific shitboxes are familiar. It is that our shitboxes rarely take on unfamiliar shapes. They are almost all more or less the same. I mean, how many cars under 20,000 2017 dollars have been sold in America in the last 30 years that you can really say are either mechanically or cosmetically…

But that’s the right number of horsepower.

All my fears are built into the world that would be destroyed. 

Yes, it was ISIS doing the gassing.  

Organizer = uppity.

You’re right, of course. But that still doesn’t make the previous poster’s statement a non sequiter.

And it seems she communicates with her partners through open letters.  

Discrimination...Racial in the cases cited here, but also class and age.

Chinese banks require browser extensions that only work in Windows (not in WINE, not in virtual machines, I’ve tried). Some even require IE. Some have even required OLD versions of IE. (IIRC that was ICBC, and they cut that bullshit out.) Yeah, imagine having to reinstall windows because you need IE8, and can’t…

So, how many times have you given pointers to a guy who was giving you bad head?

How exactly is a man supposed to figure out if they’re doing it wrong?

Movies I give a shit about, and hear about before they’re out of theaters.

That’s not a non-sequitur.  Epistemic closure gave us trump, and Facebook was one of the drivers of that.  

The problem is, they won’t say that’s why they’re firing you. They’ll cook up some lie you can’t disprove, or just say “you’re not a good fit,” and you’ll get nowhere suing them without proof they did it because you asked about pay.

Everyone’s income should be public information.  EVERYONE.  

As someone who has for the last 35 years resided almost exclusively in the head part of the market, he very well may be unaware that the long tail exists.

What’s metal?

America is making progress. Now paranoid rich assholes are focusing on bike color instead of skin color.

What if it were rotary powered?

And then people bitch about immigrants not integrating.

Conservatives have only two types of complaint:  projection, and “stop hitting yourself!”
