Agree to an extent. If given the option of two good beers I’ll try to support the little guy. But I love how many craft beer enthusiasts decided that goose island bourbon County was terrible all of a sudden

“There’s also the idea that as larger companies buy up smaller breweries, they’re able to present “the illusion of choice” on taps or shelves, meaning the consumer sees 12 different beer brands, but they’re all owned by the same overall company.”

Seems pretty dumb to defend the arguments against something you haven’t read

I think a big part of what makes the story work as well as it does IS the ambiguity regarding the guy. Because a lot of his behavior could just be a shy, regular guy who hasn’t dated in a while and doesn’t know how to act, or he could be a real creep—there’s two possible explanations for every one of his actions.

How could a man read that and say, without irony, that ‘it happens to him all the time’ and that he is constantly just getting used? Yikes.

Yeah, but the whole white supremacy thing... that’s only a minor side note to you, correct?

There must be a circle of Hell where I’d be constantly compelled to like a string of good joke comments on articles about bad stuff.

NERRRRRRDDDDD!

Smalls kudos the AV Club for not throwing “female” into the headline, like many other sites, as if that really matters in this case....

You guys are so goddamn cynical. When you get old you will see references to your childhood in the most unlikely of places an a single tear will stream down your cheek, a reminder that youth is for the young, vanity is fleeting, and everyone dies.

A Ready Player One article, huh? Well, time to do the ol’ “argue about whether this is a fun trip down nostalgia lane or a horribly written game of Remember The Thing.” It’s my favorite pastime here on the A.V. Club.
