Oh, whatever. Like you weren’t gung-ho for Hillary’s 68-year-old ass in 2016, or wouldn’t happily chow down on Biden’s 76-year-old cock in the 2020 primary/general. Concern trolling about “age” is going to be the signature take this time around, isn’t it?

Curtain doesn’t have to do anything, the republicans will become extinct on their own unless they adapt and they haven’t done that since the 50's.

The “cars depreciate/don’t borrow to buy it” advice misses the obvious: cars can make you money. For most people, they need a car to get to work. And no, public transit is not a realistic option for most Americans.

I mean, the fact that you’re making decisions is part of the narrative. It’s not just some arbitrarily-present detail. That said, if you just want to watch the thing, you can let it time out and make decisions on your behalf. I have no clue how it turns out if you do that, but it’s a thing.

Perhaps the question you should be asking yourself is if it’s reasonable to assume that they’re referencing Nazi shit. This is a label that mostly specializes in giving exposure to Asian rappers. As far as I can tell, none of the rappers are Nazis. As others have mentioned, the number 88 signifies good luck in Chinese…

Dude, if you can’t manage a family of four on $100k without feeling stretched, then I don’t get how families pulling in half that amount can make it work. Odds are, if you look at most people who claim that $100k is too little, they are stretching themselves too far with unnecessary extravagances, shit they think they …

Or you need to stop overanalyzing shit just because it gives you an occasion to be needlessly outraged.

I sincerely doubt that it’s intentional, but in this day and age, with all the shit going down, I think they might want to consider rebranding.

You realize that people aren’t going to stop using the number 88 in things just because 1488 is a thing, right? Like, maybe try not reading shit into things that almost certainly isn’t there. Not everything has to be an occasion for you to overanalyze and get all outraged.

We are all subjected to full body scans prior to boarding an aircraft...

Fuck off. We’re all getting fucked. To say Trumps supporter don’t deserve the action their consequences makes you one of them.

But hey, they voted bigly for Trump, so they get what they deserve.

This would be my review of Black Mirror in general. I get it. The convenience of technology strips us of our humanity.

I was hoping it was going to be clever enough to point out that despite _ME_ making choices for the main character, _I_ was only given the choices being fed to me by Netflix itself.

They’ll still vote for him out of some misguided belief that he’s the right man for the job and that the absolute best Democrat could never do better than the absolute worst Republican.

Yeah, I guess what I’d say is that turning actual homelessness into the benchmark is sort of an American thing. We tend to feel that we’re not bad off, as long as it could theoretically be worse. It’s that “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” mentality. And it doesn’t do us a hell of a lot of good in the class…

Zero-sum demographic arguments are fucking stupid.

One problem with invoking luck, fate, or the deity-of-your-choice’s will as the reason for success or failure is that it leads too many people to throw up their hands and leave everything up to one or all of those beliefs. Should we consider ourselves lucky for every positive and unlucky for every negative in life? I…

That is very different from the real dangers American families are facing. Of course a large medical expense or more than one missed paycheck would ACTUALLY devastate us, which is shitty, but regarding this article: we could find $400 and we could tighten our belts and miss slme income here and there.

For a lot of people... are they (me included just living beyond their means)?
