Because the liars are lying in order to hurt and upset the enemy. It makes them happy. 

Your joke definitely suffered from Poe’s law. 

I liked whatever version of Tropico I played, but it did get a little stale after a while. The stealing monuments thing just makes me wish someone would do another Evil Genius game. I’ve never beaten EG because my games always bugged out during the rocket building phase and I couldn’t proceed.

I don’t understand how we lost our sense of irony. How can someone look at a piece titled “The Worst Thing That Happened Today” and think that’s meant to be taken seriously? Thank you for trying to stem the tide of humorless scolds. 

I can’t fuck with a Mallo Cup, honestly. Junior Mints is a strong as hell choice, but the problem with this draft is as long as whoever drafts first and takes Reese’s doesn’t pick something insane, they win by default. It’s the Lebron of chocolate candy, it can carry a bunch of humps on its shoulders to the finals. 

Your ideas are worrying and I would like to politely decline your newsletter. 

I agree that there will be a predator in the Artic, but it may not be at all like a polar bear (assuming they become extinct). The earth will be ok after we’re gone. It will be very different than it was before we arrived - which it would have been the case even if we never existed, because of the passage of a lot of…

Pretty sure all the species we drove into extinction will remain extinct, but, yes, the earth should find a new balance after we’re gone. 

I’m too old and have too much family history of heart trouble to try it, but godspeed. 

My initial response was “if you want a gross fatty burger, just use 73% beef instead of 80%. Why do we need to bring butter into this?”

Lousy millenials not knowing stupid internet tropes from when they were in grade school...

Seriously. After they talked about how amazing she was and how they were competing for second place.

I’m pretty bummed out that you put a spoiler in the lede so it showed up as I tried desperately to scroll by it on the main page before my brain could register it. 

At least you got the article quietly updated to “Any alternative to filling your body with more Sackler-family pharmaceuticals is a net win.”

I feel like MDWAP is a little less fun than it was in the first two seasons, but the surprisingly big name guests they’ve been able to pull for the footnotes have sort of made up for that. Nothing will ever match the episode with Jim Sterling post-surgery. That was truly incredible. 

FUUUUUUUCK everything is so awful. 

Really torn, because Shea Serrano rules and is extremely funny, and Bill Simmons sucks and is extremely lame.
This is a nicely eclectic list - good job, AV Club!

I like Calypso more than Squirrel or Owls, but I respect that you don’t have any interest any more. I find the stories of his adulthood with his siblings more compelling now that I’m older than I do his freewheeling youth. 

Michelle Obama’s Becoming. I don’t think autobiographies work for me; I’m finding it a bit dull.
