“Private Backyard Benihana” just debuted at #3 on my list of things to blow money on when I win the next 10-figure powerball. Right behind a self-financed reboot of Even Stevens and right ahead of my own artificial island on the South China Sea.

This is solid Kinja.

The problem with about 99% of the criticisms of the Oscars is people spouting off hot takes while completely ignorant of how those nominations are voted on. Only the best picture category is voted on by “The Academy” as a whole. Every other category is voted on by members of that category’s “branch” of the academy.…

Screenplay awards are voted with ballots that don’t list the writers, voters just vote for the film by title. So the writers wing of the academy voting for Compton wasn’t a vote specifically for its white writers, just for the movie’s screenplay.

This is meta kinja.

There’s no way any army is following a dude who stops to collect herbs as often as he does. Like, you have an army. Go get someone else to pick your herbs for you. It’s called delegating and it’s a critical management skill.

“You gotta pay the Troll Toll.”

Ha! Me too. I chalked it up to him thinking that a British accent would make him sound more authoritative as his responsibilities increased. I like to think my Inquisitor was a pretty insecure guy, deep down. It’s why he kept collecting different thrones for his castle... just trying to compensate.

The problem with that argument is that the Olympics would not be held in “San Francisco” the Olympics would be held in “The Bay Area” with their proposal including using facilities in San Jose, Berkeley, Oakland, Palo Alto (Stanford’s athletic facilities would be heavily used like USC’s would be in the LA plan) and…

I want to say you haven’t read the actual plan where they are, indeed, using almost entirely existing structures, but that would mean you’re just calling people “dumb than a 1yr old infant” on the internet without knowing anything about what you’re talking about. So I won’t.

Wow. A lot of drone hobbyists are suddenly more knowledgeable about how California wildfires work than the San Bernardino County Fire Department. Must be all that sweet footage of wildfires they've been getting this month.

Even with that caveat, this is insanely misleading. Netflix is incredibly significant as having a huge share of the massive-and-growing streaming distribution channel. That’s a big deal. But the comparison is really more between viewers of Netflix and viewers of cable networks (which is the real cord that you’re…

If we are going to be very particular and non-hackneyed then, human waste is not infectious...

This is good Kinja.

This is all nice verbalization of passive aggressive thoughts that run through your head when you're mad that you're taking 25 second showers but your neighbors are still using sprinklers (the nerve!). Not too useful for anything other than venting.

Jeez. So when the other commenters above you write that sometimes people strike tones in these discussions that can diminish the efforts (which may have flaws) of people using their platform (and privilege) to educate on important topics and turn off potential allies... you put this up.

It is also completely bullshit.

Key question: is this Jean like blue jeans or Jean like Jean Claude VanDamme?

First thought when seeing the top picture: that's the fanciest sign for a fire hydrant I have ever seen. Those Aussies sure know how to treat their firefighting equipment.
