I have to say that one of the many things I’m enjoying about this season is the way the Esmail is framing Elliot and Mr. Robot, and how the other characters interact with them as one.

what a great episode. there is something about this show when it falls back to hacking and relationships that just makes it so enjoyable to watch.

I’m gonna try Elliot’s dating methods next time I go to the bar. “Hi stranger. Can I buy you a drink? I’m addicted to morphine. My mom just died but I don’t care. Let’s go back to your place”

Better late than never.

Outside of the twist at the end—which I’m curious to see how it plays out with a third personality—I loved the team coming together aspect of Price joining Elliot, Darlene, and Mr. Robot.

I was literally shouting at my TV “WHY THE FUCK IS HOWIE STILL IN THIS GAME PUT IN CABRERA YOU MORON!” Mea culpa, Davey. Mea culpa.

Networks pay millions for ex-players to explain these things to viewers, and 99 times out of 100 it’s obvious the analyst just tries to wow the viewer with jargon from their playing days and fill the airtime with word salad. Watson is more helpful and succinct in that clip than any of them. Does CTE make them…

60% of the time it works every time. 

It’s not about being loyal to a stranger, it’s contrarianism as performative intellectualism.

What on earth makes these folks feel such unrelenting loyalty to someone that they didn’t really know ? I mean, as a kid I worshiped Michael Jackson, Lawrence Taylor and numerous other celebrities but I wouldn’t waste a second defending their actions because their actions are indefensible. And feeling the need to…

There’s a very simple reason why McQueary didn’t go to the cops right away: sometimes when we see things that go against our pre-existing beliefs, our brains work their asses off to come up with reasoning. McQueary respected Sandusky as a football coach and seeing him rape a child was outside of what he expected. So…

Just from the elegiac tone of the trailer, I strongly suspect he’ll be dead by the end of the movie.

Florida Man, but in a good way

Communism was just a red herring. 

How about v4.33.0 Not 44.33.0. Build date of 9/6, not 9/12. 

Don Draper was only 99% right: the universe is indifferent to almost everything, but it actively despises the Mets and their fans.

goddam over a year later and this one still stings.

You are required to touch the wall with 2 hands simultaneously in breastroke or butterfly events. You get DQ’d if you dont touch with two hands prior to beginning the turn. It guarantees that turns stay on the same level and no one games the system with a faster one hand turn

When a man and a woman love each other.... or sometimes a man and a man, or two women, or a non-binary individual and a man, or a non-binary individual and a woman, or any number of other individuals I’m not currently addressing, they may decide to interact with each other in a way that makes both their bodies feel…

You know, Boonie is on to something here. For as Rousseau said in his Discourse on Inequality, “In fact, the real source of all those differences, is that the savage lives within himself, whereas the citizen, constantly beside himself, knows only how to live in the opinion of others.” That is, in “the box” the batter…
