“He turned out too many first-time voters” is not the biting criticism you think it is

Nah, honestly, the first fifteen minutes and theb fight are the only parts the movies did better, the rest is trash. They do a really good and efficient characterization of Lyra and explaination of the world that the show somehow failed up, but generally this has beenna huge step up

Oh, it's so bad

You say that about Bernie like it's a bad thing! Triangulation is a con job.

Oh, for fuck’s sale, just read it, that's not what it's about at all

Should it? This show is a non-situation filled with staggering tragedies, maybe our expectations of short-form TV serials have gotten a little too narrow

Lol how the fuck do you see this as a proportionate response

Imagine thinking the old AV Club was down with reactionary claptrap

All of these styles are uncool! They go from incomprehensible directly to nostalgic, because the olds must be kept off their feet, but “cool” is too elusive to become a proper teen uniform. They are, nonetheless, the style of the most popular girl at the local public high school, and you definitely thought that girl…

Good God, can you imagine

Withdrawal is not an "emotion"

See what I mean about the megalomania? Do you really not see the connection between your belief that you can consciously control your own mental state and your problem drinking? Your irrationally internal locus of control has caused you as much (or more) pain as it has prevented. That’s no way to live, and it’s…

No, it’s not, and claiming it is borders on the megalomaniacal. The only people with a worse take on addiction than people like you are the Twelve-Steppers. Neither god nor force of will had any affect on the relative speed of a very normal biological process. You got lucky, but you aren’t even a statistical outlier,…

I’m glad your experience was so unusually easy, but it was exactly that. Unusual. You didn’t exercise your will better than others people did, you were just luckier. Chemical dependence is a physical reality and you can’t expect people to just decide it isn't anymore. That's not a choice they get to make.

That’s what I figured, too

Hey, fuck you!

Man, there’s a huge crossover. Sports is hella nerdy. Stupid, expensive merch, 70's-ass affiliation symbols and signals, expansive lore, vicarious performance of superhuman feats for the hopelessly couchbound, tables of nonsense to memorize... Football is very easy for anyone who’s ever been deep into a science…

Can you really call being the face of Crocs the same as being famous, tho?

Ina show that features plenty of both, the goths are never actually shown doing drugs or having weird sex, meaning Keefe’s dark past actually only consisted of... dancing.

Because people can have an easy time with one thing and a hard time with another, different thing
