Kinja is so broken it’s constantly messing up comments these days - no idea why they are so invested in it, most sites *want* comments and engagement. Sometimes it feels like the trolls are the main ones who will stick out being stuck in the greys because their main goal is to distress and someone who just has like a

Yeah they didn’t put up a message about it. It’s a damn shame they had some great commenters 

The ad has actually a great example of this promoting irresponsible behavior- the lady tweeting about hiking during a blizzard and getting paid for it... which means someone else might try something “weird” (bc it puts you in danger) and die or get in trouble instead of profiting

I put his sexism as kind of like Eminem’s - they both seem to be mainly playing a part to be “funny”, but the sexism in their work still influenced how people thought even though there seem to be some elements from the way that people talk about them that make them seem not so bad personally

Stern’s divorce was apparently “amicable” and although he started dating new wife a year after the divorce he didn’t get married until 8 years after the divorce. Also he’s been married to new wife since 2007 so the marriage is now 16 years old, approaching as long as his marriage to the first wife. It seems like a

Planned Parenthood usually tries to discourage counterprotesting near them since it’s still disruptive to the patients. Howeeever you could always “protest” with open carry outside some of the crisis pregnancy centers

Stand Your Ground is useless unless you’re the right kind of person and often then applies in ridiculous cases like “unarmed person argued with you”.  Part of gun control is that it’s wielded as a tool of right wing and fascistic power. If you are the “right” kind of person, you get to behave in ridiculous ways like

Yeah- I mean I do think wearing crocs while performing sounds like a recipe for more injury but the tour manager sounds like a nightmare and Lizzo was responsible for hiring her. It seems like she was making some very toxic decisions as an employer

Yeah, how much of human history and the human experience was lost before the written word? 11,000 years is more than most of us can even imagine properly. How did they plan those mounds, what did they mean to them? And all that lost under our current piggishness.

Yeah but theoretically if someone gave a shit they could also still talk about other topics sometimes. I don’t care if my doctor discusses baseball with his colleagues as long as he properly diagnoses and treats whatever illness I have. Dark things are shocking to people who never encounter them but they get less

In the book, life is slowly dying on Earth and the main religion is centered around a bond with animals. The ‘electric’ animals, just like the androids are just subtly different enough that they don’t have true empathy and you can’t connect with them the same way. The electric animals don’t count as much because

I’d rather watch a show just about Alva from Disenchanted

Obviously we need a smart wedding ring that gives you live updates about whether you still love each other

The salt in the air tends to wear on concrete structures extra fast 

Ugh hadn’t heard Debra Jo was in on it too..... Why Kitty?!

It’s an interesting moral quandary maybe for 8th graders+ but probably not helpful as a way to teach the Cold War, especially when you consider the thing about a nuclear bomb is you really can’t control anything and you probably don’t have a set up with sufficient protection or resources to make much of a difference

I like this episode for Oliver’s storyline especially but there were some things I was confused about: did they explain why Theo isn’t in prison? He pushed a woman off a building. I’m also surprised Mabel still wants to hang out with him considering he killed her friend. And the actor who plays the CoBro blockbuster

Also loved the fact that Charles was offended he didn’t get Ferris Bueller, even though he was 40 at the time

Yeah I’m not sure at what point he started getting so dull - he was fun in his early roles. Also yeah I’m not sure why his voice is usually so high now. Age?

Yeah honestly it would be better if the characters were allowed to age a bit. Rick and Morty wants to be ‘realistic’ in random ways such that the characters not aging feels weirder than the Simpsons (and it still got odd there though after a much longer time). Or at least put in some lampshading about it. The best
