Norm expressing support and sympathy for his friends is understandable, forgivable even. But pretending that these two have had an even harder time of it than their victims? Asshole move, right there.

What you say is absolutely true, and I whole-heartedly agree with you. However, let’s be honest here... you and I both clicked on this article and read it, which means that we are part of the problem and not part of your solution.

I feel like you missed the second half of that joke:

Gott in Himmel, are we still doing this? Just out of curiosity, is there a statue of limitations on this? Or will there be bitter, going-nowhere arguments about TLJ until the heat death of the Universe?

And Snape kills Dumbledore.

“Didn’t you know that Snopes is a liberal propaganda site?” Really and truly, I saw someone post that exact thing on a Fox News article the other day. I know, I know, nothing should really surprise me anymore, but...

Ah, so it’s a good old-fashioned “it can be two things” then. 

It took me a minute to realize that “on flights” meant while flying on an airplane. For some reason, I assumed you meant “while drinking a flight(s) of vodka”.

Music is art, and art inspires passion. Getting fired up about things is kind of our raison d’etre here at the AV Club.

Speaking as a Dad myself, yeah, I’m more of a Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull guy (when I’m in an old-school mood). Zeppelin, Creedence, even the Stones, sure. But the Eagles? Nah, man. I hate the fuckin’ Eagles.

St. Paul resident, here. And I have absolutely heard the same things you have. Even from people I respected, and considered to be decent and progressive. Things like “that shitty driver in front of us on the highway is probably a Somali” or “those people leave crap all over their yard because they’re Hmong, and they…

Don’t be dense. No one drags an already-screaming kid into a restaurant. But if you’re in the middle of a meal, and your child decides to have a meltdown for whatever reason, letting them watch YouTube on your phone for 15 minutes to keep the peace seems like a perfectly acceptable solution to me. I get that it’s a…

Well then AS A PARENT YOURSELF, you very well know that there is nothing more fucking obnoxious than some rando trying to tell you how to parent your own kid. How about you show a bare minimum of common courtesy, and recognize that not everyone does everything the same way you do.

Unfortunately, potterpoet can always be relied on to not only provide a terrible take on just about any situation, but also to aggressively and dogmatically defend his/her/its idiotic position.

You wanna talk about “deep cuts” from Michael Moorcock? Allow me to share one of my favorites (though not really in the same category as the examples you made). This is from over 20 years ago, so forgive me that I’m fuzzy on some of the details.

I don’t remember exactly, but that is probably what happened. Thankfully, it got mostly ignored back then, and it seems like it is being mostly ignored today.

Agreed. My cat was coal-black all over, but had a few traces of white on his face - whiskers, chin, ear-tips - that it gave the impression of being very aged. His generally cranky/befuddled personality just sealed the deal; we named him Abraham.

And io9 is actually better than most places on the internet, or at least it used to be (things were different back in the days when Charlie Jane was around). Was that particular article cross-posted to Kotaku, by any chance?

Stories about an “unearthed offensive joke” from Trevor Noah’s 2013 stand-up comedy routine started making the rounds on media outlets today. That didn’t take long.

TGWSAGA?
