The race of the Ancient One, the writer's use of the term SJW, #oscarsowhite, #shirtstorm, almost any of the twitter firings (the people whose lives were ruined for single bad jokes about aids, Arlington cemetery, dongles etc), Reebok's limited edition collectible Aliens shoes being made for men…

It is legitimately the thing that frustrates me most about modern society. We have almost unprecedented ability to popularize any issue, to raise awareness, to crowdfund worthy causes, to report labour abuse and what do we complain about? Things that affect rich (from a global perspective) first world people, whose…

What is the correct term for people determined to get angry about everything and anything, except for issues that would actually require them to make a change in their lives? (like say, not using or buying things made by modern day slave labour)

Would "hypocrite who complains about 'social' issues often while wearing clothes made by modern day slaves, usually children" be better than SJW?

Because mass produced collector's edition is at best, an oxymoron, at worst, a way to extort money from wannabe collectors who don't have the cash to have a unique collection?

Or, it's a collectible… So, limited, release.
But, sure, let's get angry at the corporation for not catering to us and creating exactly what we want, when we want, even if we don't actually intend to buy it!

Technically, all but about 3 to 5 percent of the wage gap is made up. (or, stunningly bad statistics.) It's about the same as saying that black people commit more crime per person; technically true as long as you you ignore all the context.

They know it won't change anything, start a new movement, start a conversation or anything productive. But goddamn will it get some clicks and engagement. Look at the comment section. By any metric besides worth, this article has knocked it out of the park for the AV club.

There's a delightful irony in your criticism of my incomplete sentences when you had at least 4 sentence fragments in yours.

She wasn't hyperventilating, she was making her captors underestimate her. Same as she did when they first moved into their new town (pretend to be docile domestic housewife). Same goddamn thing.

There was plenty of winking at the audience. Carol hasn't used rosary beads once before, takes them, pockets them instead of trying to free herself. Then plays completely out of character (do you really expect Carol to hyperventilate?) One of Carol's strengths is that people underestimate her and she played that up…

So, I take it AVclub did not read the book. The book is an incredible searing indictment of extremism and the exact sort of language and nonsense we're seeing heavily in Europe now, especially in regards to refugees. That's why the book works. Not because it's Hitler as a wacky guy trying to set up an email account,…

Other episodes are generally better. I'd try the first and second.
This one did what a lot of critics wanted it to do, but this isn't playing to their strengths.

I completely agree. And love that this episode has a character banging Santa Claus and is still more realistic than normal.

I agree wholeheartedly with your first point. I mean, it was okay, but about half the first 2 scenes were just going for Santa puns. Santa Claus is coming to town was great, but it beat everything else so hard the other puns just felt forced.

It really depends what you want. I think people were thrown because season 2 is more of a mystery, and a confusing one at that. There's a lot going on. Whereas the first season was more about tone, style and some random philosophical musings thrown in. Season 2 is more detectives and some reasonably blunt themes.…

I'm impressed by the show so far. There's heart and goodness to the characters relationships almost in spite of how they may interact.
Plus, like King of the Hill, a beautiful amount of empathy for its characters, which is increasingly rare these days.

The trailer seems like it was made by someone who missed the entire point of the show. Like doing a trailer for the Simpsons only showing physical comedy gags.

Why are awards so unique and special? Do holidays count? Does Martin Luther King day celebrate adultery and thus disrespect women/marriage?
