Paid workers at non-profits can be some bitter, cynical people, man.

I mean, if you get an inside line on a gig at a nice enough restaurant in New York that’s a real career that isn’t in an industry where most businesses are on a long slowly downward spiral to nothingness.

I hear that, but these are public figures. That fame has brought them plenty of fortune. Independent explorations of public events that happened to them based on interviews with people willing to talk about them seem fine, and are only exploiting the same public nature of that person’s life that has given them so much…

Eh, Sorkin’s very talented.

If you don’t have a chimney and don’t want to use lighter fluid, you can just lightly douse a few paper towels in whatever kind of cooking oil you have handy, cover the charcoal with it, and light the corners. Relative to using lighter fluid it’s not really any slower and it makes for less cleanp and equipment to keep…

It’s gotta be worse than that. Kids are getting hit more in the 2nd wave in India, but it’s still not any more of an issue for most kids than getting the flu.

You’re underestimating how good Youtube is at segmenting people and driving engagement by feeding people a steady stream of content that is similar to what they watch and like.

It’s worth remembering that historically, there’s about 40% of the population that doesn’t vote, doesn’t care about culture, and mostly goes through life blissfully unaware of most of the things that people who are internet commenters really care about.

It makes sense, right? Those of us who grew up with the Reading Railroad are about a decade or two out from the age when you can start thinking about regular live Jeopardy viewing, which I have fond memories of on summer vacation at my grandparents place, whiling away hot afternoons watching Family Fued and Jeopardy…

I was going to say that this dude and those other people was fucking over Italian taxpayers so it’s weird to glamorize it (also the fact that he’s going to jail after making ~$40k a year for 15 years which seems like a ... bad tradeoff).

There’s definitely a class of guys who get into that and in certain contexts male body shaming is a thing, but yeah in general there’s less pressure and a lot of double standards from men about what is an acceptable shape for them and what is an acceptable shape for any women they might want to date.

Sure he’s cool with himself having the beer gut and letting it all hang out, lots of guys are.

Eh, the only problem with kale is that people are substituting it for lettuce when lettuce is perfectly fine for you to eat and also spinach when spinach packs quite a bunch and isn’t nearly as bitter as kale.  Otherwise it’s healthy and can serve as a filler if it’s dressed up properly. 

But there’s still time for us to get what we wanted out of this trial, right?

Also to get reforms and societal changes in place that keep us from being here in the first place.

I don’t think that’s going to happen. Something like 20% of people are onboard with mandatory vaccines, so it’s politically radioactive. 

Vegetables are also used to promote ridiculous diet fads but that doesn’t make vegetables intrinsically evil food items.

So what you’re saying is that some other celebrity watching all of this is about to go on a big long rant about how seeing mannikins modeling clothes triggers them and that specieism is a social construct and we should support everyone’s right to identity as whatever sort of animal they were actually born as and are…

Wasn’t that the goal under the Trump admin for everyone who was against his inhuman policies.

Notice how people who say stupid shit like this are never specific about what form that violence should take, how exactly they should employ it, what targets they should strike, how they plan to handle the inevitable overwhelming response from the US government to an insurrection that didn’t peter itself out after a…
