And if you point out the manipulation, you merely confirm their suspicion of you.

Still too short for Lesley Knope, though.

You’re saying that the premise presupposes the existence of some intelligence to insult? You might just have a point there.

You’re really reducing this to the most cynical interpretation possible. As a guy who considers himself a feminist (are guys allowed to be feminist? If not, then I’m pro-feminism), I appreciate that among all the jerks who deservedly need to be called out, every once in a while Jezebel is willing to point to someone…

I finished high school in the mid ’90s, and I sometimes find myself wondering how I finished last-minute term papers. My life has so little in common with the 1993 version of me that that guy might as well be a creature from another dimension.

It seems like a lot of the criticism of this show (and its parent show) comes from a failure to understand the difference between a plot-driven series and a character-driven series. These are two different things.

So he’s a real-life Bobby Newport, then?

Both guys were extremely creepy even before the manifestos and the more extreme of the two had already generated many complaints to HR before he finally crossed the line. The employer was ... not super responsive to staff concerns.

I worked in an office some time ago where, in a span of about six months, two different coworkers thought it was appropriate to send manifestos to the entire staff list. Both read as severely unhinged - one guy left the building that day with a security escort. The other managed to stay just this side of forgivable…

Every team should be required to have the QB’s hair match the color scheme. I want to see Brady with silver hair and Eli with blue locks. Gabbert with teal? Awesome.

Really? I do remember that I spent a lot of time on optimization, maybe those long-forgotten tweaks actually paid off.

I remember being amused that Microsoft was finally releasing a real, consumer-focused OS instead of just another shell to sit on top of DOS.

The woods on the moon of Endor. Preferably far from any Ewok tribes, don’t want you getting them sick.

The 6-year-old me, asleep for lo these 30 years, has unexpectedly awoken on this unremarkable Thursday in August and shouted with glee.

Google is acting as an intermediary between the content creator and consumer, but often now they deliver the content, packaged as if it was their own, but keep the associated revenue for themselves. And in the process they are squeezing the life out of vast segments of the economy.

Technically you already covered this, but it’s an important subset:

What about the vig? You obviously don’t know much about loan-sharking.
