When that blog originally posted I remember thinking, “Is this classic HamNo failed satire (but not about yogurt)?” A lot of people seemed to think he was pulling one over on us—those contrarian idiots that are such a vocal segment of this comment section were so eager to screech, “YOU ALL DON’T GET IT YOU IDIOT…

I’ve said it elsewhere, but sometimes it feels like the people who argue the loudest and like all the time seem to believe that railing against Centrist Devils in the Splinter Comment Section counts as real political action.

When it was actually working I was a big fan of the pending system. Every comment was still visible to anyone who wants to look “in the greys” but, also, there was some amount of work that had to be done to prove you deserved to have your opinion immediately visible to anyone who scrolled down.

Lol, at your last sentence. I would rank them similarly. Although you’re totally right about certain topics being BANANAS magnets for shitty comments on someplace like Jalopnik. I’ve been checking out that vertical on more daily basis since I was randomly approved recently and I find the average every day discourse…

He looks like someone I would bang quickly because he is my type and then he wouldn’t text me back and I’d be bummed but I would get over it.

Oh god. I have a friend on keto right now and I want to slam my head in a cabinet door every time it gets brought up. I’m like, you and I are otherwise totally healthy people who don’t eat junk all day. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong but I don’t think I’m gonna become an obese diabetic because of the bit of whole wheat…

There’s a reason in some dark corners of the kinja world this particular splinter person is known at “Paul Blest Mall Blogger” I forget which commenter said that originally, but every time I get to use it I’m just delighted and it combats my frustration.

At least this being on the root means it’s not a circle jerk of RT-informed weirdos in the comments. Comments more nuanced than, “NUKE ALL THE CENTRISTS” (paraphrasing) are refreshing.

There’s a vocal segment of the splinter commentariat who seem to only get their news from The Intercept or Splinter Blog Posts Summarizing The Intercept Articles. It’s Russia all the way down!

...but without its shell...

My V50 is the AWD T5 trim and I almost added a blurb in my original comment like, “lol gas mileage” At least I get to pass slow pokes.

There was a volvo v60 parked next to my V50 today and all I could think was, “I dunnnooooooo... I think mine looks cooler.” I didn’t realize how tall and angular (as in around the gate, very crossover-y) even the Volvos were getting.

When the Red Vine dealies appeared as I scrolled I legit gagged a little.

And the workouts after coming back from a full rest day. *kisses finger tips* I’m beating personal records set at the end of last season (sept/oct) and I’ve only been out on the road for a month. It’s super fun right now, but I hope I make it through an eventual plateau.

I’m happy to here this. I was worried for half a second. I’m a cyclist, and have been for years. But this year I finally got a little more serious about my recovery nutrition. I was one of those hipsters who was like “Bah, I can eat a good dinner I don’t need supplements.”

I spent a shameful number of hours of my childhood watching the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer infomercial

kinja-ers not knowing about tomatoface make me sigh nostalgically.

You are not familiar with Gawker lore, huh?

If she’s from the Midwestern state I think she’s from this is more true than if she was just a regular ol’ NYC blogger.

“Buncha Crap” is a great way to describe the smoothie I’ve been making :)
