I was just thinking about this the other day; yeah, they’re pretty privileged and out of touch (like LOTS of rich people), but to my knowledge they’ve never given the impression that they’re totally awful people. There are some reality shows where the whole point of the show seems to be that the people in it are

I actually really loved Community all the way up until the end, but I felt that the last episode was SO MUCH a ‘wrapping the show up’ episode that I don’t really think that continuing it is such a hot idea. I know it’s a pretty universal sentiment to rag on the last few seasons, but I really thought that final episode

I was looking to see if someone else beat me to this response - stuff like lifting your confidence on a bad day, picking you up when you’re stranded, helping you move - those aren’t ‘manipulative tricks’ or ‘taking advantage’ - those are things friends do for other friends! What kind of garbage friends do people have

While the bear managed to avoid security cameras, investigators were able to construct the following sketch based on eyewitness testimony:

I hope it’s funny AND a bit scary. One of the things that made the movie special when I was a kid was that it was not only hilarious, but that things like the library ghost and possessed Dana legitimately scared the bejeezus out of me in between Bill Murray’s snark. In fact, I think it made the comedy even better,

The Ghostbusters jumpsuits are... fine. I don’t really feel anything strong about the Ghostbuster’s uniforms in either the new OR old versions (and Ghostbusters is SO my jam). But McKinnon’s NON-jumpsuit Ghostbusters costume is EVERYTHING. It will be a travesty if i don’t see 1,000 cosplay versions at every con,

“they get more liberal, it’s just that society outpaces them so they appear more conservative compared to younger people.”

Hrmmm... I thought that they were making a big deal out of the monsters in this being practical effects, or was that just for the Comic-Con promo last year:

That was my first thought too; if they make obtaining marriage licenses something they can do online, won’t EVERYBODY just do that and put him out of a job?

That was my thought, too. How is that Ricky Ricardo AT ALL?! There are so many props and looks associated with the character that have nothing to do with brownface - his distinctive retro hairstyle, his friggin’ CONGA DRUM for chrissake - ANYTHING!

There’s one who’s stinking up the comments section of ‘Defamer.’ Basically, the defense he’s spewing out is ‘this was one case ten years ago, and you libelous trash (his words) need to stop trying to connect all the cases to this! OBVIOUSLY if he’s not in jail, it didn’t happen!’

To be fair, I DO have a hard time believing Amy Poehler isn’t Leslie Knope, and I don’t REALLY want to be corrected on the matter.

I don’t get it, either. I remember that back in the 2008 primaries, people equally believed that President Obama was unelectible - “He’s too left! He’s a person of color! He has HUSSEIN IN HIS NAME! Do you really think Americans would elect someone with HUSSEIN in his name!?!?”

By basis of comparison, Sanders almost

Eternal Sunshine is so SO good, in that way that I can only watch it every few years because it totally wrecks me every time.

Ha! You need a gold star for that!

Not just to ‘the blacks and gays’ but also to ‘the illeagles.’

I had an honest cabbie tell me once that most cabs say their machine is broken on weekends so that they don’t have to wait until Monday for a payout. It’s frustrating because all of them have window decals SAYING they accept cards, but then you get the disappointment after you finally flag one down and they say

When I was in college there was a machine on campus that converted money into dollar coins, and I used to convert all my cash into coins and carry it around in a little leather pouch because it made me feel like I was from The Shire. Clearly I was the pinnacle of cool as a teenager.

The ones I hate even more? ‘Cash only’ cabs - which never SAY that they’re cash only, but suspiciously all have broken credit card machines when you try to pay. I know Lyft & Uber are problematic, but after years of having several cabs in a row tell me they won’t accept debit cards, the concept of ridesharing seemed
