    I haven't heard of Ariana Grande before - should I be glad?

    Because the culture of the MRAs helps enable and push its members towards violence like that. Just like the anti-government conspiracy nuts like Alex Jones inspire those of their followers who go on mass murder rampages, like Jared Loughner.

    Considering that NASA picked Armstrong specifically to make that first step on the moon because he was a very dull, bland man whose personality would never threaten to overcome the accomplishment, unlike more colorful astronauts like Buzz Aldrin, making a movie about his life sounds just swell.

    The must have some levels of shame, though, as they try to lie about their motives so often. Just look at the "Gamer Gate" bullshit, where eventually they realized that harassing a woman just for being a female game developer and because her ex asked them to wouldn't be publicly acceptable, so they instead made up

    "a group of diehard Park fans who work on recreations of the movie’s vehicles"

    And I'll name it after - breaking into someone else's computer systems to steal their information. Because those two concepts have so much in common.

    "Tip" isn't proactive, or a totally outrageous paradigm.

    David Morse?

    "Lifehacking" is not an actual word though. It's also an incredibly annoying and stupid non-word.

    Will he play Fire Marshall Bill or Vera De Milo again?

    The Commissar's Report? I hear that, don't turn around, oh-oh-oh, he's in town, oh-oh-oh

    But hell is much more pleasant than any high school.
