I’m still kind of mad that ‘female empowerment’ is embodied by a girl, rather than a grown-ass woman. But I guess girls are non-threatening enough to not crush the testicles of these manbabies....

I’ve always wondered: if I’m just too lazy to shave, is this a feminism victory? Or am I just a fucking lazy slob? I’m fine with either, really. I’ve just always wondered...

White women who want to broadcast their politics (in addition to actually taking action, ahem) could also just wear a t-shirt from Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Amnesty, SPLC, CAIR, BLM, NOW, NPR, DNC ... the possibilities are endless. Just anything at all besides almost literally #notallwhitewomen.

Petraeus was sentenced to two years’ probation in April 2013 for passing classified information to Paula Broadwell, who was at the time writing his biography and with whom he was also having an affair.

What we need most in the next four years if Trump is elected, are minority leaders well-versed in parliamentary procedure, with a book filled with favors owed to them, and an unwavering commitment to progressive ideals.

Are you kidding? Of course she had an economic message. She talked about jobs and infrastructure and tax plans ad nauseum. But she didn’t promise a pie in the sky because she’s fundamentally honest.

Also, specifically targeting all the women in D leadership positions, but, totally coincidentally, not the men. How many of them realize that this Ryan guy is a center-right D who was pro-life until recently? Gah.

Preach it.

The Republican party intentionally funneled money into local elections to get control of the state legislatures. Why haven’t Democrats?

That has nothing to do with the House Minority Leader and everything to do with the DNC and DCCC. The House Minority Leader is someone who is able to use and manipulate the rules of the House and to organize members. It’s role is more technocrat and much less ideologue. I’m kind of tired of liberals being so…

The young need to buy in and participate. I’m 36. I vote, I pay taxes and mortgage payments. Why are all these politicians so much older than me?

No, it’s not. We offer the best policies for blue collar workers, across the board. The ones that vote against that just to register how much they hate foreigners are not the ones we need to be trying to retain. We need to appeal to independents, and try to turn out the vote among younger voters, instead of…

But she wears that outfit when the MiB enters the church! That’s not a memory, it’s what happens in the present. “Don’t pay too much attention to it” isn’t good enough for me, given that attention to detail lies at the very heart of this show.

Yeah her outfit with the MiB I can’t piece together. Maybe they will all realize it is a dream in the afterlife where they are trying to find each other.

A lot of the time they guess the twists using a sort of “meta-reasoning,” where they use knowledge of the classic tropes of fiction to figure out what the writers are trying to do. Classic tropes are classic because they’re good, so I see your point.

But could it be a good thing? It felt like Lost and True Detective tied themselves in knots just to make sure the nerds weren’t right. I could see the appeal of a show that’s actually guessable. The suspense may be gone a bit, but fan engagement might be higher. Not sure, tbh, just thinking out loud.

It kind of makes you wonder how writers are going to make thrilling or shocking shows, now that there is a networked army of nerds working to ferret out any conceivable lead or clue in popular TV. Before you had to outwit the individual viewer, now you have to outwit an informal NSA.

Everyone is a host and there are no humans left on earth. Maybe it even takes place on Mars or something.

You may be joking, but I’ve seen it suggested many times on a handful of MRA/incel sites and forums. Unduly entitled men have been saying this for years.
