But hey, I suppose somebody has got to take the first steps.

Absolutely. I suppose I'm approaching this not from a 'She's abandoning her family' perspective but more from a 'There's no way in hell I could do this myself, I'd probably have an existential nervous breakdown before the rocket left Earth's atmosphere from sheer loneliness' perspective.

I don't want to come off as trying to shame this woman for her choice. This is more just random thought of me grappling with the implications of such a fundamentally life altering choice. At the end of the day, its ultimately her choice, everyone else be damned. I suppose I'm just projecting my own ideas onto her. If…

I'm a little with you on this. Even realizing that there is a basis of sexism to it, to me, its just completely unthinkable to leave your family behind. I suppose for me, what scares me of the totality of it. And to be fair, it would be something I'd think about every one of the final 24 people, men or women. We're…

And even beyond just people, there is a ton of stuff that you'll never even have the chance to do. Ever.

My bent on the thing was that it was less about what gets through to this particular dingle berry and more about what kind of message it sends for us to cheer on his harassment.

While I agree about the need to explore space, I can't fathom the idea of leaving everything behind, forever. I mean, its one thing when you know you're going to die in the near or immediate future, saying good bye to everyone you love, but to essentially have to say goodbye to people knowing that you may live for a…

Well, to be honest, I could see a professional actor feeling weird about something that isn't cool to do in the real world. Like, if an actor felt kinda grossed out by doing a rape scene. Yeah its acting but its still disturbing.

Yeah. I mean, I won't bust peoples balls too much over changing their mind, if it looks like they'll at least acknowledge that they were wrong to begin with and make honest amends. But this guy's 'mea culpa' smacks of him not really getting the point. Like, if this hadn't of happened then he would have completely gone…

I would love to wake up tomorrow and see 'Bad Things Steve Carrel Has Done' memes all over twitter, tumblr, etc.

Perhaps he'll get it in a simpler joke form:

Only when its Hitler... There, Godwinned this mutha' right proper.

Yes.... YES!

I will go so far as to say that he shouldn't be harassed. Not because he doesn't deserve some hell in his life for what he's done. He absolutely does deserve some hell. But he shouldn't be harassed because it just reinforces the underlying idea that online harassment/doxxing/swatting/et al. are legitimate ways of…

You say 'not haha funny, but fuck you funny' as though there can't be significant overlap between the two...

Yeah, if this guy had a Venn diagram consisting of his alter ego, Connors, Rankowski, and random idiot, then it'd just be a single circle.

No, shit. You kid around with people you know, because you know their boundaries and what is and isn't kosher. You have an understanding with that person as to what can and cannot be joked about and generally speaking you're able to get away with more with a close acquaintance than with the public at large. That's…

I find it scary that there is apparently a segment of the population that absolutely cannot empathize with another person's situation until they specifically go through the same thing themselves. Also scary: People that think that sending death threats to strangers in any way constitutes humor.

Steve Carrell didn't call his mother on Mother's day... He took her on vacation to Hawaii

"Bad Things Steve Carrell Did: A homeless man once asked Steve Carrell for change, but he didn't give him any. He gave him a $100 bill instead because that was all he had on him at the time"
