I’ve read quite a bit now about the dangers of drinking, so I gave up reading.

Another day, another piece of anti-Irish propaganda from Gizmodo. And right before St. Patrick’s day, too. Do better.

Dang. I’d always heard that alcohol consumption could potentially lead to memory loss, but never imagined it might actually shrink the brain. In fact just the other day I was reading about how alcohol consumption might actually shrink the brain, which makes sense since I’d always heard that alcohol consumption could…

Yeah it shrinks your brain, why do they think we drink????? Its a feature, not a bug.

Nobody says, “It’s a wrap!” they say, “That’s a wrap!”

I bet the Facebook page readers love slideshows just like we the io9 readers do. /s

DVD movies first came out in 1996, so it may very well have already surpassed VHS in longevity. And they’ll continue to be released for at least a few more years. DVDs may not come close to the quality of Blu-ray (especially 4K UHD versions), but on a display or player with decent upscaling, it can still look…

On topic - what is JJ thinking? Rookie leadership mistake in any profession to commit people without their knowledge or consent.

Annie Hall didn’t have sequels so it isn’t as good as Star Wars?

That’s probably true, but fifteen years ago, I would’ve scoffed at the idea that every c- and d-level Marvel superhero would star in AAA films that make hundreds of millions of dollars almost by default.

Yeah, but that’s why mid-range budget studio movies have all but disappeared in the last ten years. The way the industry sees it, there’s no point in making any movie unless it stands a chance of making all the money in the world.

Lying to kids is awesome because they’ll believe anything.

I used to lean out the window and shout “Boo, Ice Cream Man!”, because fuck that guy!

This reminded me of playing hide-and-seek with my three year old when he hid under his blankie on the livingroom floor (because that totally makes you invisible) and then fell asleep. He napped there for two hours. I won!!

That is exactly why they told all nazis they weren’t wanted in the hobby, begone dumbass.

Dear young nerd, I am an old nerd. I did not like football players at school because they were mean. I eventually (and probably later than I should have) realized that not all football players are mean, In fact, the very best football players are all extraordinarily smart and have to put in an amount of dedication…

Dismal “everyone dies from this” thought process is pretty sad tbh. I hope your mindset proves false for the Queen of England and Justin Beiber (Statistically they will probably be just fine regardless of their vaccination status).

My first and only ever published fan letter was in Tom Veitch’s Empire’s End (the letter was absolutely FAWNING over Dark Empire II, to which Empire’s End was the sequel) as an 11 year old immigrant kid.

Yes... which makes me wonder who decided that they would have a refusal to change if things weren’t working?
