The euphemism treadmill argument is so dumb.

That's my biggest mcmansion (and general suburban housing) pet peeve. Big-ass garages right in the front. There's a new-urbanism-lite development around here that puts garages on the side or behind and it instantly looks so much better.

For every good local restaurant, there's five more that serve the same reheated Sysco junk that Applebee's does.

As someone who's not really a baseball fan, it seems like baseball season goes on forever. Like it's the World Series -> some holidays -> January -> Spring Training again. There's so much fanfare to the beginning of the season, while with basketball, nobody really pays attention until about two months in.

He's been droppin hundreds since they had small faces

Lol, you think Netflix doesn't pay for their bandwidth? All that fiber that goes to their (well, AWS's) datacenters isn't cheap. They just don't want to pay for the bandwidth *twice*.

I know a lot of people IRL who like his stand up specials, but to be fair, I know a lot of college-educated cultural Catholics who ya know, *would*.

Love S1 had funny bits. I didn't really like it when it tried to be serious and I found Rust's character to be genuinely unlikable most of the time. But the more absurdist and cringe-humor bits were pretty funny. I lost my shit at the "sarcoma?" bit for some reason. Was season 2 any good?

"Relationship issues" might be a thing . But I guess I can just ask my sister about that. Thanks for the kind words.

Last time I was in St. Louis, I somehow survived walking from City Museum to the Arch Crown Plaza at 11pm. Not my wisest decision.

I'm only 26 and I'm already irritated by most of the kids (in age and/or attitude) in my community college classes. It's such a high school mentality, "we have to be here anyway, so why not just fuck around in the back row." Only you *don't* have to be here, and some of us pay out of our pockets to be here, so I…

Not really a regular here, but it seems like a good enough place to vent.

Not to impose some purity test, but people who complain about "the more annoying parts of the left" are rarely actually progressives. "I'm super duper liberal as long as women and minorities keep it to themselves."

Titus is great live, kinda helps that I'm familiar with their music, but I love Patrick's stage presence and dry sense of humor. And they're loud as shit in a small venue. Saw A Giant Dog open for them and they were great too, I don't think the lead singer stopped dancing the whole set.

Mumford >>>> Imagine Dragons. Like at least Mumford and Sons sounds sincere and has a few songs you can sing along to. Imagine Dragons sounds like they were scientifically designed to be as dull as possible.

Cake had a #1 album in 2011, and I'm assuming things have gotten even more dire since then.

Is Carbondale really a "city"?

Their latest talking point seems to be that the mainstream media is obsessed with Trump's ice cream habits. Nah, the media is obsessed with possible treason.

I can actually almost respect 4chan in its utter chaos. Haven't regularly used it since like 2012 though, and I usually avoided /pol/ anyway, so maybe it's worse than I remember, I don't know.

There wasn't much about Joanne that stuck out for me the first few times I listened to it, but now it's in my weekly rotation. It's just a nice, grown-up album. Million Reasons is one of her best ballads.
