I don’t think there is such a thing as “happy trolling”. The way I understand it, trolling by its very definition is malicious. Some people have decided that expressing dissent with a stated opinion in any way means “trolling”, which I think (again, just my humble opinion) completely misses the point.

As someone who is in that exact same position - wife and three daughters under 10 - I can confirm it is indeed both hilarious and exhausting. However, as I like to tell people who express their sympathy, “I ain’t seen nothing yet.” In a few years I’ll have three teenagers under the same roof. It’s bad enough now when…

Dude, the boat you’re in sounds very similar to my own. Wife and three daughters under ten, have to get creative to find any peace and quiet. I have found that insomnia (and long, leisurely bathroom breaks) is the most practical way to get a little private time.

Yuuup. Saw Basic Instinct in a theater with my Dad and both of my brothers, with us ranging in age from 13 to 16. There was no discussion of the movie afterward, which was something we usually did quite a lot of.

In my mind, the MCU’s main strength has always been its rock-solid casting. There were a few times where I strongly questioned their choices (Chris Pratt, Benedict Cumberbatch) but they always turned out to be fantastic for the roles they were given.

I almost keyed someone’s car once; thankfully circumstances stopped me and I realized that it would have been a terribly shitty thing to do.

I pulled into a parking lot at the local grocery store once and accidentally nudged the car next to me with my door. It was very slight (I always open my doors carefully), and I have plastic guards on the edges of my doors so it wouldn’t have left any marks anyway.

Hey now, if Trump and all of his supporters get to live in a delusional reality all of their own making, why should we have to miss out on the fun? Yes, the Gorilla Channel story was obviously, preposterously false, but it was also hilarious, so therefore I will actively choose to remember it as being “true” for the…

Dammit. I had heard that they were planning to bulk out the show with some random stories about different gods and other “in the style of” vignettes, so I had no clue how far along the main story line would be after one season.

This is completely off-topic from the fine point you made (maybe a fifth category? nevermind) but I just found this album the other day, and had to share for reasons that I think you will find self-evident:

I have yet to see the first season, but I’ve read the book (several times) and spoilers don’t bother me in the least bit.

“Oh, brilliant!”

Crowdfunding?

It’s hard to be sure from the two words of dialogue we’ve heard so far, but it certainly seems to be so.

Let it go, my friend. Everyone knows it’s not official, they’re just having some fun.

Capt. Lethbridge-Stewart mentions his family, and “his boys”, but doesn’t name them specifically. He could easily be the Brigadier’s grandfather.

Ever since Gawker shut down, a lot of the shitposters don’t really know where to go on a regular basis. Some went to Deadspin, lots went to Kotaku, some hang around and troll Jezebel, and some ended up on io9. Now they have AVClub to infest, it was inevitable. (For what it’s worth, it seems to me that Jalopnik was one…

“Why don’t rape victims come forward with their accusations immediately 100% of the time? Those bitches are obviously lying!” Do you see how you have answered your own question? If not, then I cannot help you.

“When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get.”
