“During his interview with Tarantino, Colbert randomly brings up The Thing...”  uh, probably not.  i’m pretty sure talk shows don’t work that way.

He’s just a person trying to middle road an awful person’s behavior in the name of respecting the dead.

It sounds like the people closest to him were more grieved by his living existence.

Look I have been on and off SA from its start back in my college days, great site, its maturing well.

You really can’t turn this around into ‘perhaps it is u who are petty’ - the guy gleefully harassed and targeted minorities, and much of his anguish was that his website matured (to a degree) while he didn’t. The Something Awful website bankrolled his entire lifestyle even as he grifted and complained server costs…

Something Awful produced a wild amount of humor and culture for decades and had a massively outsized influence for a long time. It was a place where I learned a lot about writing, about politics and some other things.

We need to get more young people into the PSTEM fields.

What exactly is pseudoscientific about giants battling reptilians in an epic battle that sunk a continent beneath the waves millennia ago? I don’t know about you, but information like that is EXACTLY what we need! 

Mostly fine with these but can we make an exception for “Can I speak to your manger/supervisor/etc?”? In my experience, 99% of the time the higher-up can magically deviate from the script and do the common sense thing that I am asking customer service to do (i.e. - return a non-functional product under warranty or move…

Dave is in my top 3, but my God, he’s making it tough. And there’s also a salient reality that people forget about Dave: he wasn’t a stand-up superstar before Chappelle’s Show.

Yes, he had done specials before. Killing Them Softly was great, but it dropped in 1999, a full 4 years before the 1st season of…

I mean, sure, Chappelle is doubling down on some very problematic stances here, but...really? We’re doing the “I never thought he was funny, unlike you plebes” thing?

Disappointing to learn “Beat Bobby Flay” was a cooking a competition and not people beating Bobby with wiffle ball bats.

Southern Comfort mixed with Bud Light 

I am *so* looking forward to another game that defined my childhood being remade into an Action-RPG lite with much of the strategy ripped out of it!

And it’s fucking terrifying that a group of strangers online can get you fired just because they can get it trending...
