I definitely do this, although i'm not sure whether i do it more than i do with other topics though. And i think i was like this before i majored in a subject where a lot of test problems take the exact form "Find a counterexample to this universal statement" but i'm less certain of that point.

I wonder how much of that was how successful the initial pushback was. If everyone had voted at the levels people angry about Obama did in 2010, do you think that would have made that same contingent even more determined, or were they emboldened by looking around and believing everyone agreed with them?

I think we can be excited that it will no longer just a technicality on paper that a woman can be president even if we don't like which woman got to be president this time. I mean even if it had been Michelle Bachman, and the alternative had been better, it would have been some kind of consolation in the face of the…

My first thought was "noir parody"

He's actually pretty good in comedies. And i say that having no interest in his wood.

It's one of those things where, if everyone affected (or even just a double-digit percentage of everyone affected) spoke up at once, the people punishing them for it couldn't possibly shut them up or keep them down…but there's almost no way to coordinate that, so your options are either trailblazing at great personal…

Some of the craziness right now is in fact an angry response to the ways things are better now, some of it is an angry response to the ways things are worse, and a lot of it is the political strategy of blaming the improvements for the problems rather than addressing the problems directly.

Not that it makes that much less gross, but you know actual elephants do have breasts right? They're mammals and they only have 1-2 kids at a time, so they have two breasts rather than a row of teats or an udder.

Which possibility is weirder:

Is she who Pootie-Tang was always talking about?

If you're a would-be super villain and you get beaten by a house cat, even a house cat with powers, do you just give up on villainy, or do you have to go all the way to killing yourself in shame?

Thought this one sacrificed way too much in other areas for the sake of shitting on Selina constantly. That "twist" was pure nonsense, and if all they wanted to do was get her out of the white house for next season, there were drastically simpler ways to do it. This was suddenly a show about a universe in which the…

I may not have seen everything involving Thanos that they've put out so far, but i'm not sure Thanos has an army at all. I mean he definitely doesn't have a populated home base. At most it seems like he might like a super powered version of a loosely organized terrorist group's leader, sending out orders, empoying a…

It's amazing how often the ways comic books get around killing people seem worse than death.

They actually show you that they're somehow a colony animal, and that the characters who survived the first film somehow don't know that yet in the commercials don't they?

It was definitely very cheesy, even at the time, but that didn't really impede anything it was trying to do.

This review actually gave me some interest in seeing this, after the trailer initially put me off by showing that ship that was so big we'd all die within hours if it entered the atmosphere and then didn't do anything else.

With my dad it's mostly trains. There's the things you'd predict, like complaining about cars that are out of period or don't match each other, but he'll also complain about stuff i'd never consider at all, like the sound of the engine doesn't match the visual or the markings are wrong for the region they're in, or a…

Maybe some other show stole all the facial hair while they were busy trying to get their tattoos back from Blindspot.

Wait, Vinyl had a murder plot?
