Yeah, I was getting a serious Your Name feeling off this - that even sounded like it might’ve been Radwimps in the background.

I think it’s entirely possible to bring up things such as the garbage Jones peddles without giving him the chance to peddle it himself. If you do a news story about “Alex Jones claims that Sandy Hook didn’t happen blah blah blah” there’s a disconnect in the audience that doesn’t occur when you have Alex Jones himself…

Honestly, I don’t think he should even be given enough airtime to be “exposed.” I seem to recall that years ago someone - I believe Oprah? - had some KKK/Nazi types on the show in order to talk about how awful their beliefs were, but soon realized that all they were doing was giving them a voice and publicity that…

The t-shirt folding trick is one of the few stupid human tricks I know. Also it makes my drawers the only part of my house that looks like I actually care about neatness.

...............why would it not be.

My sister had to get an abortion a couple days ago because my future niece no longer had a heartbeat. I’m now especially pissed at asshats who think she should’ve been forced to carry a dead fetus for a while and would love to develop some kind of fantastical technology that would let them do it and see how they like…

I went to see a movie last week and the dude next to me had his legs open enough that his foot was in front of me, plus his arm was overlapping the armrest far enough that his elbow was jabbing me in the ribs. I was ready to punch him before the previews ended. :/

Speaking as someone who used to DM games quite a bit, a lot of it comes down to the players. If you have a group that’s engaged and playing along, DMing is one of the most awesome things in the world. When you’re in a group that spends their time browsing Facebook until it’s their turn or keeps chatting with each…

As soon as you pull the “I have [insert trait here] friends so I can talk about people who are [insert trait here]” card you lose.

That’s how I feel about pretty much all of the Disney Ghibli dubs. They seem to have picked actors based on name recognition rather than how they fit the characters.

My grandfather was called by his middle name his whole life and didn’t even realize he had another name until he was in his teens. It’s not like people keep their birth certificate framed on their bedroom wall or anything - your name is what people call you.

All of this is really making me want to move to Austin right now, ngl.

What is it going to take to make Naruto finally go away for real?

Do they swab your hands for bomb residue? I get that almost every time I bring homemade baked goods in my carry-on, because I guess baking cinnamon rolls equates to terrorist activities.

My parents were in New York in the summer of 2001, and my stepfather forgot that he’d forgotten to pack his pocketknife in his checked bag (and we’re not talking Swiss Army here, he likes knives with blades a few inches long and VERY sharp). The TSA guy opened it and examined it, then waved it over his head and called…

I really don’t know which one it was - she just kept staring at the scissors and opening and closing them and commenting on the comb, while I stared at her blankly and wondered if they’d flag me as a terrorist if I asked if I could leave.
