This is either an iPhone problem or they fixed it already. Because I clicked reply on your comment to see what would happen and it works just fine on my phone.

Up until now, I only experienced the new format on my phone. While there are some kinks in the mobile format, I thought it wasn't that bad. Can't say it's an improvement, but it's not much worse either, if kinks like avatars not loading are worked out. But from the comments I figured the non-mobile version must be an…

What is this magical fantasy land you speak of?

It makes me think the screen of my phone is dirty.
Or dirtier, I should say.

Ah, a classic reverse Murray.

To be honest, now that I have read a few comment sections on my phone (of the non-i persuasion), it's not that bad.
Sure, the avatars don't load until well after you've read that section. But other than that, the worst thing is the comment-overlay is a tiny bit translucent, making me think my screen is dirty.

Well, I haven't seen it on a computer yet, but what I understand from the comments here it's totally different on a phone. The comments button sits between the articles and opens a full screen overlay in which the comments are loaded.

On the one hand, your historical analysis is 100% correct.
On the other hand, at first this new format wouldn't load any comments at all on my phone and now that it does, I can see less comments at a time because of stupid bars at the top and bottom.

I thought it was more of a tiny macroaggression.

Hey! I know what they are, just not when or how to use them. That means I'm in the least despicable minority within the majority!

I think I understand your argument and So you've been publicly shamed is an eye opening book that highlights the damaging consequences of the actions of in essence well-meaning people on the internet.
(Full disclosure: haven't read the book, have heard multiple interviews with the author.)

Wire tapping a presidential candidate that is suspected to be under the influence of a foreign government, is something any sane secret service would do. It's practically the definition of their mission.

Or a greater chance than throwing dice and landing on a six.

The Black Mask strikes again!

It can be two things.
Bush and Cheney in this case.

So apparently your aunt positioned herself as the center of the family and everybody else was just defined by their relationship to her.
Great job! I assume you just go by niece 2?

I showed my girlfriend a tiny part of this picture - just one dimple of a strawberry - and she still identified it as red.

I don't care about IPA overload. If a bar has 20 beers on tap and 10 of them are IPA's, that's still somewhere between 6 and 12 beers I'd enjoy.
I just don't understand the popularity. It's not like it's the most accessible kind of beer. So I don't get how this has become the gateway to specialty beers.

Ah good, thick Indian (or Pakistani) chai is the best. As creamy and rich in taste as the best chocolate milk you've ever had.

Horowitz was the hero in this situation. But I don't see how some people frame Beatty as the villain. Absolute best case scenario: he looks at the card, realizes what's wrong and says "I've been handed the wrong envelope" without saying anything else. But that's a bit much to expect under the circumstances. He clearly…
