LOL wut?

I mean, it sounds like he’s just had his fill of the guy. “He’s an ass” might very well be the reason. Like, when you just have to walk away from unreasonable people.

I agree. The dota2 subreddit was absolutely rip, and Valve has been very responsive to it lately. If you look at the replies to Gabe’s post about it it’s like night and day — everyone was instantly sold. Dota2 nerds is weird

I don’t understand — you’ve got three sources; TMZ (reporting word from within Team Taylor), Kanye, and Taylor’s PR flack. The first two agree, and y’all are saying the last one is the one telling the truth, based on a bunch of assumptions about the people involved? Seems dubious.

Because it’s not a list. It’s an email being addressed to a giant number of people individually. The system is working perfectly. :)

So what it is, as you seem prepared to accept, is that now you have a chance to experience things the way that many folks basically *always* do, with no representation. It’s not that big a deal because it’s exceptional for you right now — imagine if the way you feel reading this was the way you felt reading everything.

So you found it easy to make every financial decision a wise one? It’s really easy to judge, and much harder to understand. I’m glad that you’re better at handling being poor than some other folks. Your judgments scream “lack of empathy” to me regardless.

You clearly don’t understand what it’s like to have as little money as that, though. It’s psychologically not the same — the anxiety forces you to cope in various ways that prioritize short-term survival — which makes all this cold rationality totally inapplicable.

$2.50 is not a “micro”-transaction. That shit is like half a meal in a lot of parts of the country.

I definitely agree that there are ups and downs, there are transitions and there are superstars. But the original cast was what, ~5 years? Lots of modern greats put more time in than that. Even Nasim Pedrad, very funny person, did 5 years before she got suckered into doing Mulaney’s weird thing (I like you John but…

Ugh I swear to god people saying this exact thing will never end, ever ever ever. There’s no way that you’re watching SNL on the regular. SNL is no less consistent or funny than it was before. It is a crazy thing to even try and do and when it fails it’s still a bold attempt. Sometimes, it’s even great. “SNL used to…

thank you, sbh twentythree, for bringing this little number to my attention!

Do not like. Either “take the center” is a sound strategy and means our system sucks, or it’s a wack strategy and it means conventional wisdom about political campaigns sucks. Seems to me that the center follows the stronger pole, hates being pandered to, and nearly always rejects ‘centrist’ Democrats, reinforced by…

You know, I *genuinely* appreciate your sense of indignation. Too many people I know had no such reaction or ultimately made me feel like they thought less of *me* for it having been done to me. She still doesn’t seem to understand why it was so evil.

....when you’ve been cut off in the midst of believing the relationship to be humming along just fine—or worse, going great[, you] are left to put the pieces together, to put together a narrative from the crime scene where the relationship fizzled or crashed and burned—and to do this, as it happens, with no help from…

It just sounds to me like angry mob-type behavior. Making this about feminism seems therefore only to feed into the mobbing- it’s a continuation of the usual feedback loop through which mobs form. It’s not about feminism and this situation says nothing about feminism nor feminists. Mobs R bad, and so is this…

I think you’re overstating the significance of the lifeboats. Yes, the only people from the old MU (or UU) who are likely to be conscious of the old continuities right now are those aboard the two lifeboats. But we don’t know that these versions of the heroes aren’t basically them, but with new memories. Doom could…

Yes, I acknowledged in my prior reply that the divorce rate is not the same as a fidelity rate. Divorces can occur without infidelity — just as, by the same token, marriages can continue with it. And there are non-monogamous marriages, too, in which fidelity has a different definition. Suffice to say, we don't have…

Yeah, there are no claims to superiority here or anywhere else that I can see, just claims to validity.

I understand that "discriminate" is often used synonymously with "be oppressive towards", but we are all discriminating in various ways, many of which have nothing to do with anything problematic. It's a reference to personal inclination. So I see zero shade in that statement you quoted, which simply means that they…
