Man, this shit drives me crazy, these people who seem to always need their values reinforced through their fictional entertainment. Insanity.

Man, I did a whole rant on the use of objective to describe creative endeavors, it’s somewhere on this thread. A pet peeve of mine. Unless they’re using the word in the sense of reaching an artistic goal, art is never objective.

Someone else on this thread mentioned they knew someone who was taking a humor studies course, the differences between cultures and what they found funny, and I thought, “That is the profession I didn’t know existed, that I’ve been searching for all along: Humorologist.”

Love the story, but gotta say after “fluff-muffins” and “bouncy snuggleballs”, I was disappointed you went back to plain old kangaroo.

I’ve started reading all the grey comments too. Thanks for that, it was just getting me frustrated and I didn’t want to do anything drastic like give up because I have very few outlets right now for “geek” discussions.

I made a comment for this story and I’m still in the greys. Besides Splinter, which was nice enough to follow ME, this is happening to me constantly on AV. Is this just because Kinja sucks? I’m getting a bit peeved wasting my time reading and thoughtfully (never trollishly) responding to the content, only to be…

Damn my innate curiosity, I had to look up the procedure, then immediately regretted it. Your joke was funny but at what price man?

I can feel any type of super hot ghost pepper sauce, as it wends its way through my digestive track, sometimes hours of suffering (unless I can fall asleep). I love spice and this is the only one that does that to me.

A truly amazing lady. I’m not sure I want her to be forever first lady though, I like to imagine her the first black female President. One can dream.

Drumpf’s hateful rhetoric aside, many want to also characterize these people as lazy, but in CA I worked with and observed many illegals for some time, and I consider myself a hard worker but most of these people put me to shame. It’s so obvious to most of us that all of this is just racist bullshit and deflection…

You know of all the things you wrote, the most troubling may be that enslaved blacks were “playing along with it”, it being systematic oppression, state-sanctioned brutality, forced labor and erasure of cultural identity, as if the slaves were just hop-scotching right with the “massas”. Insulting, demeaning and very…

No, you’re defending the idea that slaves, in an entire state and system devoted to keeping them in bondage, eradicating their past, making sure any feeling of humanity and culture they once share is denigrated to the point of oblivion had a choice to be a slave or not. It’s like you heard the Bob Marley verse about…

Yeah, and I’ve lived and worked among blue collar America all my life, and in various parts of the country, and I have a feeling if those immigrants are working, it’s work many born and bred ‘Muricans would rather be homeless than perform, especially at the near negligible remuneration said immigrants are probably…

Thank you, very cogent. I figured it was more than likely Repub.’s just manipulating the way information is parsed for their fanbase as usual.

Thank you, I thought that comment was some of my best work in a while, and so personal of course.

You’re exactly right, majority of the time it was to call K-9 units in. I wasn’t aware of the time limit aspect, thanks.

I thought this whole routine was a bit of a reach (not that I disagree), then that last line and I chortled. Thanks.

Align, be chained to the wheel of pain, or die, yes.

You know, I was hesitant at first to fully embrace seemingly hyberbolic phrases like “existing while black”, but every day it seems these assclowns give evidence of this reality. The arrogance and lack of empathy from not only the cops involved but their “blue lives matter” supporters is disgusting. For many people in…

Can anyone point me to legit information that supports or refutes the claim about “...denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans...” claim? It smells like BS to me.
