As someone who just told their wife this week they want a divorce because of a serious pattern of horrible behavior, and am now getting pleas to go to counseling and being told it was both of our faults’: people with mental disorders have a very hard time owning up to their mistakes and issues and will try to…

She’s right—everyone at Silicon Valley needs to wake up and drop TJ Miller from the show!

Jesus I remember when the AV Club’s site was an afterthought—something to dick around on between print editions. And then they hired this guy to start writing these things called “newswires.” He churned them out like a machine and they were hilarious. So good, in fact, the site’s entire posture sort of changed to ape…

It’s snarky and somewhat political, but it never reaches the sheer douchebaggery level of a Recognitions to put it mildly...

So giving cancer having dog, potentially cancer having food.

Jesus. If only I had some kind of way to express how I feel about ... wait a minute! Something’s coming back to me! Something I used to enjoy!

Seriously wtf?

So let me get this straight, he customer orders at the counter, and you just tell them how much their food is, and you think you deserve a tip at all?  For fucks sake.  You think the cashier at walmart should get a tip too?

you’re publicly shaming people giving you free money because it’s not as much money as you want?

we’ve reached peak fucking gawker here. 

What are you talking about? If I buy food from a place for $9.50 and I give them a ten dollar bill, then tip them the 50 cents. How am I doing the wrong thing? What if I only had that amount on me? You know how the guy with the expensive watch got it? Buy saving his pennies, and not just giving away unnecessary money…

So you put out a jar begging for money then going to insult people who bother to give you a hand out? 

Yup... yet another Captain Obvious article... don’t even look at what they’re dropping in; sometimes I add change from what they gave me, so they might be giving you more. You hear the change drop, say thank you, move on.

Canada discontinued the penny years ago so I find this whole story questionable. You're not giving anyone 6 cents, ever. Certainly not if you're working at a restaurant.

Say thank you and stop being an asshole. Those measly coins add up and if you are a jerk about it there will be fewer and fewer of those coins. 

You’re mis-construing what Kurt Metzger said. Perhaps because you’re not smart enough to understand it, perhaps because you want to generate page clicks, or perhaps just because you’ve been told you should hate him.

So this is it huh? You banned me for mild criticism meanwhile the neo-Nazis in the greys never get banned? Nice to see what your priorities are. I’m going to contact the people at the site about this, because your ego isn’t a valid reason to ban people.

Auto-ban? I post here all the time. Substantively. That’s a severe mistake to make for me posting my opinion. That’s horseshit. Banning me for criticizing you, mildly, is absurd behavior. I’m not a bloody troll, and the number of trolls constantly harassing me proves that.

HamNo,

Wow, so apparently I’m now back in the greys? I wrote this and suddenly I’m punished for it? What bullshit fucking cowardice is that? I’ve been out of the greys on Splinter for ages.

I’ll say.
