Yup. I love Reservoir Dogs, but I want to destroy every copy of it in existence because of douchebags who interpreted Mr. Pink's rant as a real-life excuse to not tip waiters, and not the ravings of a madman.

The whole "special/precious snowflake" thing bugs me because Tyler Durden said it in Fight Club and then suddenly everyone decided it was a clever phrase that they should start using all the time. Never mind that Tyler Durden was not a character to be admired, and his whole "You are not a special snowflake" speech was

"Butthurt" is one of the most idiotic new-ish Internet "words" ever, used mainly by bullies to dismiss someone else's concern which may or may not be legitimate. I think it's worth mentioning also that it carries at least a little tinge of homophobia. Someone is not "butthurt", they are upset, they are angry, they are

I once bought some wild salmon jerky from Trader Joe's because I love their eclectic snacks, and I love jerky, and I figured why not try it. Stuff was VILE.

Unless they're libertarians. Because libertarians are just conservatives who like weed, and maaaaaaybe don't hate the gays (as long as they keep a safe distance).

The conclusion may be counterintuitive given marijuana users’ propensity to, say, get stoned and eat half a box of Reese’s Puffs while watching Star Trek: Voyager.

I indulge in both, but I think booze is way more destructive, and if marijuana were as easily accessible and socially acceptable as alcohol, I would probably never drink. I think it's fucked up that alcohol is perfectly legal while marijuana isn't (I don't actually want to outlaw alcohol, but that's still backwards).

Ringo gets unfairly slagged because he was merely the least of four geniuses. As a drummer, he was the antithesis of flashy, but just kept the beat perfectly - isn't that what a drummer is supposed to do?

I love Zeppelin but I feel like "The Crunge" was a joke that didn't work. Then again, I wasn't around at the time and was never into James Brown, so maybe it would have been funnier to me if I was.

He was a brilliant drummer (who basically had two settings, loud and LOUDER THAN FUCK), but he was also a violent drunk who, when he wasn't hitting drums, was often hitting people. Listen to the beginning of "When the Levee Breaks" or "D'yer Mak'er" and imagine THAT guy beating the shit out of you. Ouch.

Was this the same guy who was in Derek and the Dominos?

If it is true, the sad part is that in less homophobic times, it might not have mattered as much.

I will cop to possessing that album on vinyl and listening to it occasionally. However, I think it is outright uncanny how much "Lonely in the Night" rips off Led Zeppelin's sound, right down to every single instrument. It's like the band heard some Zeppelin and said "Yes, we should sound exactly like that".

I always thought it was a test of character, and to see how you behave under pressure.

That's really the worst trolling attempt I've ever seen. Try harder. Maybe more nuance in your next attempt.

That's really just an honest matter of preference. I liked both for different reasons. I would say B5 reached higher highs, but DS9 was consistently better on average.

I always waver as to whether Picard or Sisko is my favorite captain. Sisko hated Picard (and with good reason!), but otherwise I think he shared a lot of similarities with Picard, temperament-wise, if Picard was more pissed-off and took less shit.

Speaking as someone who liked both DS9 and B5 - they weren't that similar, other than the hack observation that they were both set on space stations. I would wager to guess that anyone who thinks they were "basically the same" just based on that fact, hasn't watched much of either. Completely different themes and

….but also call you a fat idiot.

C'mon, with all the faults of Into Darkness, I still like it better than either Final Frontier or Nemesis.
