Again, almost everyone on that list of 30 people is born between the mid-1950s and the late-1970s. Ma started making money off the internet in the mid-90s, which means his entrepreneurship goes back just about as far as Bezos, etc. That’s an issue of when the tech emerged, and nothing to do with inter-generational…

There are way more poor people than rich you moron.

He is in China. His parents are likely poor.

SO many Jezzies were defending these white female authors piling on a grad student

Brooke Nelson has internalized misogyny to the extent that she can see nothing of worth in books beloved by “teen girls” but is presumably impressed with the merits of a book centered around video game culture that is beloved by teenage boys

In fact I read the whole thing, quickly, before morning coffee, and right after the article and the comment had been posted, which I think makes my interpretation understandable.

Anything’s possible. 

If there were justice in this world, yours and OP’s star counts would be reversed.

The sum total of your classic rock takes in this thread has me creeped out that you’re my Tyler Durden or something, believing everything I believe but being willing to fight it out for your principles.

Wait, is this a real thing?

This review is about 100x as pretentious as the movie seems like it is, and the movie seems pretty god damn pretentious.

Seriously, I was 1.5 paragraphs into the part actually discussing the film before I realized it wasn’t summarizing the basic premises but giving a plot blow-by-blow and I was halfway into the movie.

This story has been screwing with my mind since it came out, because I could have sworn it was already the plot of a horror movie, but I couldn’t remember any specific film with that plot. So this cover image seriously messed me up, because I thought it was actually Natalia, but I was like “No, that’s it! That’s IT! I…

You think the French all need to kill themselves? Damn.
