Dark Souls 3 is really good. It's the most refined game in the series from a gameplay perspective, and in my opinion probably the most accessible. Some fans of the series didn't like its relative straightforwardness compared to the first two, but I like the fact that every DS game is structured a little

He might have been confusing him with Frederick Douglass.

It is not.

The book is anti-totalitarianism. Orwell was a socialist when he wrote it.

Not really, Merriam-Webster's descriptivist view of language is pretty much the mainstream school of thought now.

I have long said that the purpose of Trump's war on the media and total disregard for the truth is not to convince people of any particular set of facts, but to create confusion and foster the impression that facts simply aren't knowable, that anything that isn't right-wing narrative is left-wing narrative and the

Hahaha okay man

I think there's a fair criticism that for some people, "mansplaining" has just come to mean "when a man explains something." However, the phenomenon of men assuming that women are less competent or knowledgeable in a subject than they actually are is very real, and that's specifically what the author was talking about

Traditional conservatives hold a strict constructionist view of the U.S. Consitition. Alt-righters think the Constitution is gay. Traditional conservatism is (ostensibly) based on a set of economic and moral principles, while the alt-right is grounded more in identity politics and explicit ethno-nationalism.

Said it before and I'll say it again. A terrorist attack at some point is basically inevitable, and when it happens Trump will say that he tried to protect us but the courts and the media and the liberals wouldn't let him.

Um…how old do you think I am…?

That was his original plan, but Seal Team Ricks killed the bug-person before he could tell Rick. So instead he just hijacked the Citadel of Ricks and teleported it into the middle of the Federation prison. That's how you get level 9 access without a password.

The variety of humor on this show is really great—this is a weird comparison, but it reminds me a little of Arrested Development in that regard, in that it so effectively blurs the line between complex, cerebral humor and asinine silliness. "Seal Team Ricks" is a lot funnier than it needs to be.

We're not, I don't think.

I imagined that once he'd been in prison a while, he stifled the feelings that had led him to turn himself in and convinced himself that he'd had this plan all along. But as we know, Rick thinks planning is stupid.

I keep seeing people trying to downplay this type of shit, saying it's just trolls doing the Nazi stuff, it's not genuine, they're just doing it to rile up liberals, etc.

Rick is one of the more complicated characters on TV, and I don't think any detail of his characterization is ever meant to cancel out another. He's a person of contradictory impulses who often seems blind to his own motives. I think his drunken speech at the end of the episode was basically true, but I think his

Like, Jerry sucks, but I kind of hate the way a lot of fans treat him like he's this completely unsympathetic character who only exists to be mocked. His inability to connect with his family or win their respect is really affecting, and you've touched on one of the reasons why—he may be pathetic, but he's usually

Hahaha, yeah, that was about it. One of the best easy-to-miss gags of the night.

I always think it's funny that C-137 appears to be the only Morty who's not a complete disposable moron.
