When the AV Club joined Gizmodo and switched commenting systems (and all the commenters complained), one of the editors made a point to inform us that ratio of commenters to clicks is so minuscule that if the commenters didn’t click, it wouldn’t much matter. I assume it’s the same on most sites.

Hermine got robbed of star baker. That's all I've got to say about this week.

Yeah I’m getting a little tired of the writers being so precious about regional food specialties. As if nobody anywhere ever can recreate them, or heaven forbid, improve on them.

“oh no, muh face freedom!!!1!”

Assuming that the third letter writer’s s/o voted for Trump again in 2020 (I’d be more leniant if they had a change of heart the second time around), she just needs to ask herself if she’s okay with dating somebody dumb and/or gullible and/or bigoted and/or has no empathy.

I can’t for the life of me figure out what Batman's plan is here. "I'll take it down this street, OH NO NUNS, maybe the other direction down the same street, OH NO MOTHER AND BABY!" As if he didn't know that there were pedestrians in the area.

Just enjoy the dulcet tones of whatever ad or video is autoplaying on the page.

This was inevitable, seeing as how most of the other sites have done the same, but it still sucks. 

Thank you for writing this so I didn’t have to. Referring to 00's pop punk as “emo” is huge pet peeve of mine. Of course I sound like a tool saying “No, REAL emo is Jawbreaker/American Football/Cap’n Jazz/etc,” but it’s the hill I’ve chosen to die on.

The same for anybody unironically using "SJW."

No mention of the fact you can already pet the foxes?

I’ve been enjoying cottage cheese mixed up with kimchi and artichoke hearts for breakfast lately, it really is quite tasty.

Those Green Lanterns were not very good.

Who wanted this? Bring back potatoes and verde sauce!

But it wouldn’t mean anything coming from a midwesterner. Isn’t their whole politeness thing just a big social facade? I’ll take nice words with effort from a surly New Yorker for a buck, over a saccharine “Bless your heart!” any day.

Yeah they should probably consider not booting a minority three weeks in a row. ESPECIALLY when Rowan should have gone home this past week.

100% agree. Two weeks in a row now he over-promised and under-delivered, and by his own admission has not been able to get his bakes done in time when practiced. If you have time to polish an old vase, you have time to practice a bake. Let him go so the people who actually care can compete.

Did somebody change the definition of “Bernie bro” without telling me?

Honestly, I think VP Ivanka would have been less scary than VP Pence. At least if Dolt 45 would go down for crime time, Ivanka would surely have had a hand in it and would go down too.

That’s a pretty typical monthly rent where I live (small city in PA).
