Hartsfield Jackson is a delight. I’ve used it countless times over the past 5 years, and every time it was an absolute pleasure. Hell, the food court even has a live piano player.
Had a layover at JFK a couple of times - talk about a shithole.

Lots of people have an insane amount of credit card debt.

I know I run the risk of coming across as a “police defender” and a person in denial about all the horrible stuff that has happened and continues to happen, but I’m gonna go for it anyway, because I can assure you, I *am* aware of all the problems.

You realize that there is a vast number of law enforcement officers in…

You’ve got it mixed up. Lorde’s not 73, she’s 37.

I imagined Anthony Anderson as his character in Blackish. It works incredibly well!

They really ought to take a workshop on that concept.

They put the spoiler in the actual title less than a week after the movie came out. Is it a big deal, in the grand scheme of things? Of course not. Neither is a rash on your junk, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be slightly annoying.

Indeed. Every time I bring this up with religious people, they try to weasel their way out of it and then proceed to act as if they adequately responded.

I appreciate the elaborate reply. Cards on the table - I am white, so clearly I do not have the same background and experiences as you. I would definitely enjoy grabbing a drink and having a conversation in real life about this topic, because I don’t think I’d be able to adequately convey my thoughts via a random…

The things I’d do for an Android smartphone with a physical snap out keyboard made by Nokia from the early 2000's... My desire borders on the obscene.

That’s interesting - I did not know that! Deeply troubling, but then at the same time, not very surprising.

Please note that I am not denying that any of those horrible things happened. “White people” have committed tons of atrocities - but then so have people of different skin color all over the world. Racism (an us-them mentality) is universal. It is unfortunately part of human nature. I think it would be more productive…

Black people are much more “disliked” in certain Asian and Arab countries than they are in Western Europe or North America. Just look at the Chinese Star Wars poster someone else posted. Don’t overgeneralize and turn “white people” into the enemy - what good does that do? There's tons of work left that needs to be…

Thank you! Goddammit, the sheer level of hypocrisy and willful obliviousness at Gawker and Jezebel (for both the writers and the commenters) is absolutely mindboggling.

As far as I’m concerned people can do whatever they want. If two people are in a consensual relationship and they’re genuinely happy, who cares about the age difference?

Io9 used to be amazing too! It still could be if returned to its former glory...

Don’t watch the show based on the violence and rape riddled books and then proceed to whine about how the show is too violent and too uncomfortable to watch because of the occasional rape.

So fuckin’ awesome.

How old was that guy, anyway? 70-75? Somehow I’ve always had this idea that old people in the future (as in, the people that are now 50-ish and younger) won’t be as clueless and cliché when they get old. I have zero evidence to back that up, by the way, so maybe it’s just wishful thinking.

That was absolutely priceless. Poor guy.
