Wait, so not only does this system encourage people to downvote other people instead of actually responding to them, but it gives them the benefit of anonymity? Like bonus anonymity in addition to the anonymity already afforded them by using a fake screen name on the Internet?

You also feel like I might as well post inappropriate pictures of your body now (without your knowledge or consent)!

All I've heard from Pusha T's new album so far is "Nosetalgia," which I loved, so I'm excited to check out the rest.

I say, "Oh, hold on a second — I gotta run to the bathroom really quick." Then I go to the bathroom and look them up on Facebook. Then I come back and list whatever they had listed under Music. And then we bang because we're soulmates.

Dear Dikachu,

Yo definitely. One of the very few hidden benefits of having an ancient, dinky iPod mini or shuffle or whatever is that I'm constantly culling the songs on there to make sure I won't skip half of them, and that's one song that I don't think I'll ever pull from rotation.

So I'll admit I'm a rockist in denial, but what's with the A.V. Club reviewing things like Miley Cyrus's new album, and then failing to review (for example) Danny Brown's or Pusha T's new albums. Who exactly are they writing the Miley Cyrus review for? Is there anyone out there who was truly interested to get a

What about online dating? Then he wouldn't have to worry about "ruining friendships" or possibly being creepy to an uninterested party. Because, you know, it's a given that people ask other people out on online dating sites. Is he against online dating? Would he make the same excuses about not being attractive enough?

It's nice to hear that even though The Who are massively famous old rockstars they still decorate for Halloween. Kind of sweet, in a wa—

I like adding copious amounts of bourbon or rum to warm, mulled apple cider. I think it is almost time to start doing this.

Good thing you can say it to all of us FAKE PEOPLE, then. Is that what we are to you? I am a real people. We are. Real. What? Am I a real people? We? I am real. What am I? I am real. People. I am real people.

Yeah it was 8 minutes after 12:00 and there were still only like 15 comments, so I knew something must have gone terribly, terribly wrong.

Speaking of pumpkin-flavored coffee, I think Dunkin' Donuts made a serious marketing misstep by going with "Dunkin' with Pumpkin" on their signs instead of "Dunkin' with Punkin'."

Maybe this is my own cynical projection, but I never thought of this song as very joyful at all. When he sings "We won by a landslide / Our troubles are over," I always heard it as, like, dripping with irony and even a little rueful — like from a guy willfully ignoring the problems in his life/relationship. Especially

Not when that something is racism. You can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone is racist. Even if someone didn't intend to be racist, they can still be "guilty" of racism. (I'm really regretting having used the phrase "benefit of the doubt" because this legal analogy doesn't really hold here at all.) Like

Oh when Phil wrote that he trusted "[Lewis's] and Chappelle's instincts," I thought he was saying that Chappelle had also perceived racism. In which case I see no problem with the "don't know for sure racist" thing. But maybe Phil's sentence was unclear and/or I read it incorrectly.
