lol, “discriminatory and oppressive practices?” Against white dudes? I don’t think those words mean what you think they mean.

So... I don’t know a ton about cars. At my last oil change at one of those drive-thru regional chain places (I know...), I let them convince me (again, I know. ugh...) to use “high-mileage” oil in my 2013 Hyundai Elantra with about 96K miles on it, which (surprise!) made the oil change really expensive. Couple…

Damn, I need to get with the times... I’m still almost exclusively mp3s (and cds and vinyl). I still don’t “get” streaming and it still feels wrong to me... like, you don’t “own” any of your music and you have to sit through commercials to listen to it.

The plastic cover provided a convenient place to tape in a tiny cheat sheet...

Indeed. Agreed. Also, on a related note, an interesting companion to Nolan’s important article may be this one:

Fucking Americans....

LOL... who takes the CONCACAF “Champions League” or anything involving MLS seriously?

There’s actually A LOT MORE in common culturally and historically between Brasil and Portugal than there would be between Ireland and India...

Wait, did I miss something? Wouldn’t target furniture be just about as “sturdy”, if not less, than IKEA furniture? Nether one os exactly, you know, winning any prizes anytime soon for durability, but at least IKEA offers products made out of, like, actual wood..

Wait, did I miss something? Wouldn’t target furniture be just about as “sturdy”, if not less, than IKEA furniture?…

Nothing plases me more than to see a dipshit anti-choice homophobic bible-thumper miserably fail. Go back to Florida and take a swim around sundown in a gator-infested pond, Timmy.

I thought the Weekend was a band... don’t they do, like, cheap ripoffs on good shoegaze/dreampop music?

I still use firefox because I hate change and I like to have my bookmarks live physically on my laptop. I still can’t get used to all this “cloud” stuff. Goes for music streaming too. I’m more of a CD/mp3 person. Oh well.

Most disturbing/depressing part of this is that it’s 2017 and you have grown adults who believe in an invisible omniscient being in the sky who somehow cares about their team more than it/him/whatever cares about others, because...?

Hey, rest of country - I’m chillin at the beach here in Florida where it’s about 80 degrees and sunny right now. LOL!!

First off, yay Frans de Waal! He’s great. Check ut his stuff. I highly recommend “The Bonobo and the Atheist.” Secondly, what about the opposite problem? I find that being surrounded by/being reminded of too much blanket *positivity* can be a problem. The “curation” effect of social media means everyone’s on there…

50 pages of photos!? What would possess Leah Remini to think that anyone else besides her would care to see 50 pages of photos... I’m assuming, of her? Of her with other celebrities? I don’t get it.

Why the fuck would you want to stop swearing?

Thanks for posting this. We have a severe mythology in the US that being poor means being on “easy street” where things are “handed to you.” It’s the American Dream mythology wrapped up in American exceptionalism, and of course it’s highly racialized. Just the other day my father heard about how little it allegedly…

Fuck me. I’m 34. Have basicaly been sedentary since, like, my late teens/early 20’s. I gotta start doing something...
