Between the garbage autoplay ads and the even trashier Taboola clickbait below the comments, the only way to read these websites these days is disabling everything and enabling reader mode for mobile (chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode).

I just want to read one article without having to mute “Hey Lauren, I like your top.” If I wanted to watch Kinja video content, I’d unmute the video, or click on the original links (the Punjabi-Canadian hockey story was excellent video journalism just btw). Auto-play audio is fucking annoying, no matter what site is…

Too many auto-playing ads. 

The realist in me tells me it is something that it is inevitable--but still at least two decades away, so approaching it as an all or nothing prospect is woefully foolish.

The numbers don't lie, guys in funny glasses hit better when they're clean shaven. Obviously he's been studying Sabometrics.

I am a firm believer that the one thing the federal government is responsible for with our taxes are roads, infrastructure and the military. This would include border security.

I don’t really have any patience for this right now. Every single candidate on the Dem side, including freaking Tulsi Gabbard, is an incalculable improvement over Trump, who’s not only the worst president in US history but one of the worst leaders of a country in, at least, modern history.

All fair points. I hadn’t seen much that impressed me, but things haven’t really started getting serious yet either.

“Reparations” can mean a lot of different things. Cash payouts of thousands if not hundreds of thousands to people who are not prepared will not improve their lives in the long run. You don’t fix poverty with financial payouts, there have to be long term institutional changes first.

Fun fact: “The Touching is, To Me, Off Limits,” was the original title of MC Hammer’s 1990 breakthrough single. 

Wow. So, basically he’s saying that we should all come together and work as one organism to protect and support one another, like some kind of a commune huh?

I can’t get past the fact that Hart’s just not funny.

Hart’s original apology apparently only existed in the same world where Donald Trump gets HIS facts:

Fuck off asshole. 

Definitely not one of The Best Splinter Stories of 2018.

Counterpoint: Fuck off?

Is anyone else confused as to why these sheriffs deputies are dressed like they’re getting ready to invade a third world country?

Also: almost no one can really tell the difference between a certain pair of corded headphones and an equivalently good pair of wireless headphones.
