You are soooo wrong. The series 2 is all you need. Is it louder? Probably. Is it made of less expensive materials? Probably. Does it have fewer features? Looks like it! Does it brush your fucking teeth so you don’t have cavities or other dental ailments? Yes, it does! (Also, don’t push on it - you don’t use much pressu…

Do you think y’all could put a link or song/band info in DUAN? Sometimes the link won’t work on mobile and youtube doesn’t let you see the info when that happens (or I just don’t know how to get the info) so I have no idea what song you’re linking to. On desktop you can usually still click through or hover over to get…

I disagree with you too.  I don’t think that’s what any of us were saying, and I think being white carries a lot of burdens, and one of those is being responsible for the racism of other white people. Another is a responsibility to be proactive to a) use my advantages to help others and b) mitigate the damage caused by…

First, this gives me an opportunity to bring in somethign I wanted to above but I was already getting too long-winded: a lot of this depends on your definition of “white.” If white is an analogue to the powerful elite, or maybe even ‘the light-skinned powerful elite,’ then sure, I mostly agree. White used to be…

I completely disagree (while also completely agreeing). Just some background on me so maybe where I’m coming from helps put my comments into the proper context. I’m a white person. Throughout my life I’ve been told ‘pick your battles,’ ‘it’s not worth the risk to speak out about [fill in the blank],’ etc. I’ve been…

I was thinking the same thing. I’ve listened to Hardwick’s podcast on and off in the past few years. When #metoo started, he was noticeably quiet about it. On at least one occasion his opinion of a questionable person caught my attention as a potential red flag (glowingly called TJ Miller a “force of nature” when he…

Make phone calls! It’s surprising how much a few phone calls do because they essentially work like polls - if a congressperson gets more calls about one issue they think it’s representative of the general feeling about something. It’s not gonna sway someone who knows that their constituents will re-elect them…

This doesn’t directly address #metoo, but is relevant your mention of his treatment of everyone regardless of fame (and power): the Hanoi episode should have a monument that plays the Obama scene. Watch the entire scene with Obama, but especially from 31:00. It’s looking back at an alternate reality where people still…

Interesting take, but I think part of the problem is that you can’t analyze pulp as if it’s literature. I’m not trying to make some superiority point here, or in any way disparage comics. Rather, the reason why the Shadow King is alive has less to do with the complexities of Xavier’s moral, ethical, and character…

I wish I had seen this! Girlfriend in high school, driving her 90's Corolla in her first-ever snow, starts to lose control a little bit, suddenly yanks on the handbrake. Me as we’re now in the middle of a full-360: “What are you doing?” Her: “[My friend who is older and should know better] said the other day ‘when in…

How is margarita not on here? It meets all of the above requirements. It’s basically the same ingredients as a whiskey sour but way better and more fun. 1/3 the ingredients of a long island iced tea. I mean, screwdriver?? I’m sure the staff skews younger, but I didn’t realize you were all high schoolers stealing from…

I love how, in the video, he waves, and then his hair waves right after.

This is the cutest thing. Yeah, probably some privacy issues (for the child), but that’s a sweet kid. Asks the guy his name and then says “Ok” because he probably thinks now the guy’s not a stranger so he can talk to him (and hop into his bathroom stall), just wants to get some help washing his hands cause he’s a good…

I’m confused about a few things. First, this is a 2 month old conversation, so welcome to the conversation! Second, are you yelling at me? If you are, your anger appears to be misplaced. Third, I appreciate your dedication to immigrants, even though you’re a bit incorrect (and, with all due respect, it’s…

You’re wrong. He wasn’t allowed to shoot first. Because he didn’t have a gun.

I think this is the only site where I won’t get thousands of “you liberal snowflake trying to ruin everyone’s fun” comments (only a few dozen, if people even see my grayed-out comment).

A little confused, you’re taking the “go back home” angle, right?

NOOOOOOOO!!! I have three things that I’ve been meaning to return for a few years and haven’t gotten around to it!! They definitely don’t qualify under the new rules. I hadn’t done it yet because I felt guilty about the policy, but definitely didn’t consider my problems to be abuse under the previous policy (I had one…

I live within range of a WEEI affiliate and it’s programmed into my radio because they carry games, so when flipping through stations this morning I heard Gary Tanguay telling the two dinguses that their show is shit and they cater to the lowest common denominator. I only caught the end, but maybe there was something…

I like your writing. I just wish you still did Foodspin on a regular basis (I know technically you do some Foodspins, but basically just the “use this product” or “don’t do this to your food” variety; no longer any recipes). No disrespect to Chris Thompson! I like his stuff! But for whatever reason I was always more…
