I watch Shark Tank because I like to see what ideas people come up with. Most other reality is so staged and fake that I have no interest in it. I want fake, there are shows people actually write.

I do not understand the value of straight horror. It doesn't scare me and I don't get it. I may as well be watching the tide come in (or go out).

I don't think it's an elitist thing so much as it is an inexplicable and kind of insane rage about things that aren't to our own tastes. To me, it's kind of turning the mirror on ourselves and talking about our irrational hatred of something that was never meant for us anyway.

The second season really comes into its own as an adaptation, which helps stop all the "book v. show" stuff. Still, I was hoping the third season would step into transcendence, and so far it really hasn't. Still very good. But it's not there yet.

Your choices are your own, and yeah, Radiohead has disappeared up its own ass, but it's good, good music.

Yeah, if it's real, see a doctor. Like soon.

I hated it but then I met a wife and so now I've seen it. I don't like it much but it's perfect chickbait.

I hate country so bad. Trips with my father in law involve it, and I just can't stand songs singing about how "good folk" are. These are real lyrics:

I finally broke and am reading it. It's not great, but for YA fare, it's also not terrible.

Definitely some login trouble and the like.

Just stop it. Everyone knows better than to try to pet YOU.

At least neckbeard deep, anyway.

I really liked that pulpy pulp of pulp movie.

Pokemon is and always has been awesome.

It's a hilarious video.

I hate fun, but other people can like it.

It doesn't help that it's one of the dumbest memes ever to grace the internet. An internet that has seen PLANKING.

Avatar is the most 90s movie I've ever seen. It takes everything you hated about the 90s (sanctification of indigenous peoples, herpy-derpy "spirituality", environmental heavy-handedness, virtual reality, and, ultimately, the white man's ability to turn on the charm without fail) and puts it into the spin-cycle.

Watch whatever you want. There isn't enough time to get to it all anyway.

I think of us as being upper midwest. We're in that Democratic bloc with Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Distinctly different than the plains states or the more southern-influenced midwestern states.
