Depends on the platform people are viewing things in. I know I've accidentally downvoted people about three times now, where my finger touched the wrong spot on the tablet/phone. I've even done it with the mouse, when trying to hit reply.
It's way too easy to downvote, even accidentally, to make it that

I am now going to insert a weird clause into my "If I should die" document, and it will include the following request: "On behalf of all Irishmen, please remove my liver for study, but only after cutting it in half and measuring the rings, for one last final dick waving contest.
Researchers must also take into

Yes, on my Droid in Chrome. (And it already had the whole Load More Comments nonsense.) Add it to the 95 theses of NuDisqus.

Hmm. I've gone and downvoted my own comment far too easily while trying to hit the edit button. As if NuDisqus wasn't bad enough.

I don't know if this is a known NuDisqus issue, but I've noticed Chrome no longer can search CTRL-F the comments on a page anymore. That coupled with Load More BS, and the ugly aesthetic, make this much harder to read/search.
And it totally screws up AV Club's mobile site on my Droid. The comments float over the

I can vouch for this. When we teach classes about e-readers at the library, we recommend this tip all the time.
This does not work well, however, with ebooks on your smartphone. (Unless you go Airplane mode for a while.)

I think I spend too much time at IKEA . . . and not enough listening to metal.  Scored 15 out of 20 just from recognizing those stupid cutesy names. We even own the LAST table, whose name I make fun of constantly.

My optometrist appointment was booked a few weeks ago.  This has been happening too often lately.

Can't like this enough.  In the beginning, road-blocks seemed realistic, and the citizens were believably cranky or loopy or disinterested.  Now, it seems that Leslie just has the magic touch, and only has cartoon-like obstacles.  And yet, the Ron POV — sometimes government just isn't the solution — never comes up,

It's my favorite coffee sweeter, and it only further fuels my real syrup habit.  (I buy jugs regularly; my family knows no other kind of syrup.)  I think that maple syrup makers know this, because someone started selling maple syrup crystals for that very purpose.  And it's delicious.
Coffee & maple syrup — two great

I don't understand why this would be useful, but, more importantly, I don't understand how it would work in the first place.
Guess geriatric me is having a hard time figuring out why — or how — anyone would log into Netflix with Twitter in the first place.

Thanks so much for linking this — I'm so happy to have advance warning of both her new album and her tour.  Ever since she popped up on AV Undercover, we were hooked, and I'm excited to get to see her live.
(Not that you needed proof that your form of advertising works.)
And I like this new album a lot, but I don't get

This has always bothered me about these kind of proclamations — many here on the boards have made jokes about "When is the platinum age starting?" etc.  But that is actually really the question behind this — are we in another TV age?  (Many of the points raised about choice of viewing options; streaming & DVR's; etc.

I've been on the internet too long when the acronym as AMILF — like, say, American MILF.  Or Anonymous MILF. I spent a little too much time trying to guess what the A stood for.
Then I got the pun.  /smacks head, turns red

So many other great things about this episode, but I feel a great need to highlight the knife-fight/dissolution of family.  Even if you take out the knife; the drama leading up to it; the poignant slice on the hand — that is the existential dilemma of any parent/father: when will my children disown me?  
Seeing it

I'm glad to see someone else thought this.  That open looked fake as hell — from the clouds down to the beards and clothing.  CGI flashback?  Probably.  It was really distracting.
But thematically, I guess I didn't care.  Especially when the "time-lapse" desert shot transitioned into the next segment.  That was

Although I would love to be there — line-up is great; I love Chicago and traveling for music -  my neighborhood is having a free local-music festival, running from 12-7 on Saturday only, and I have two young kids.
So I'm focusing on the positive - I'm exposing them to live music, going to shows, thinking about playing

Well, I'm sold.  I turned this on as a lark, and ended up listening to the whole thing.  That never happens to me with any streaming album, or most of the Great Job, Internets.
Maybe I should watch Boardwalk Empire?

@avclub-84d2c8892fcc6e60580f09d23082aa6f:disqus Thanks!  I have used that phrase a lot since watching FYEO, and now I'll be able to spell it correctly, too.

Not a super Kubrick fan, but I do recognize that some of his films are emotionally gripping to me — Shining; Clockwork — and others I have to wonder if I have the necessary experience to bring to watching them.  (See also all films about parenting, when viewed before actually having children.)
He is obviously telling
