I’m of the opinion that there are certain foods in certain styles where it’s the only mustard that really works. I’ve tried nicer mustard on my bog-standard cheeseburger before, and it just isn’t quite right. It’s not bad at all, it just doesn’t quite scratch the itch, you know?

No, you’ve misunderstood that one, too. Better luck next time!

I suspect that John Oliver is way less rich, and that fewer people have died buried in coal and stone or had their towns obliterated to get him there. Certainly, he’s bankrupted fewer critics, and spent less money for the right to do all those things.

Also, steam vents and fog machines become defensive devices. 

Iain Banks suggested Coherent Radiation Emission Weapons System. 

If they’re used for ground vehicle point defense, anything in the vein of rockets or shells is likely coming into line of sight before it’s a danger anyway, right? 

I also thought Trent Reznor was a choice I wouldn’t have guessed. It looks pretty interesting, though.

I’m still here and it’s my home and I want it to be better. But also, just. Shit, man. There are some real assholes and not a few outright dumbasses here.

Goddamn it, North Carolina.

I don’t think Chidi ever realized he was in the Bad Place on his own (which is also weird). But he also has that tendency to believe in authority, and he thinks Eleanor might be God or something pretty close. Simone is very smart, but thinks she may be hallucinating all of this (but also might work it out before too…

Same here. I didn’t expect it to be so damn gorgeous. It helped that it was also hilarious and occasionally heart-breaking and I kept having feelings watching it.

Not so much “must” as “should.” You can see any number of powerful assholes kicking down at any given moment. It’s commonplace, and it’s not interesting or even transgressive except in the way that bullying is. It doesn’t take any degree of cleverness or even much thought. Any dipshit can just be cruel to someone with…

I’m late to the party, but when I was very small, there were commercials for some kind of candy (Heath bars, I think?) and for some reason, it was implied that the woman in the commercial either was a werewolf, or that the candy bar was somehow connected to werewolves, or something to that effect. I was 3 or 4, so…

One thing that gets me is how some churches and individuals think that there’s no trick too low if it’ll get someone to say the words. However traumatic or hurtful or damaging it is, it doesn’t matter in their minds if they “secure that soul.”

You tricksy so and so. Well played!

In a literal sense, and within many ethical frameworks, yes. In other ethical frameworks, they are being used to dreadful purpose. 

I’m not 100% sure, but I think I’ve seen that image in some 5e stuff. Which I guess isn’t really related to Gygax, but might appear in both properties?

The funny thing is that someone probably had to explain to them why alt-righters were being banned on social media, and they understood it so poorly that they think it applies here, too. They were probably so excited to think they were gonna get to turn that around on someone!

Dear grays guy,
