That headline is misleading as fuck, blowing into the cart doesn’t do anything, what’s all this about it being “bad”? If you’ve actually messed around with the boards inside these machines you’d know that short of snapping them in half or yanking out solder joints there not a ton you can do to actually damage the game…

School shootings were prevalent enough before Columbine that Warren Ellis wrote an issue of the comic book Hellblazer about it, Columbine happened right as the issue was about to be sent to the presses and DC pulled it, Warren Ellis left the series as a result over what he called artistic integrity (Its a thought…

I’m actually right there with you, I have very conflicted feelings about letting myself get too hopeful in the face of the horrible things I’ve witnessed in our political system in the short time I’ve been alive, and my depression tends to take these things to heart more than is healthy, so I am trying to keep a lot…

I’m not as bad as some people, it’s the crowds I can’t do though, crowds of strangers, I just shut down, and my mind gets bogged down by telling myself I’m a piece of shit for feeling alone and alienated from this large sea of people, that no matter what I’ll never be able to connect on a fundamental level with any of…

That has always been a fucking cause! Columbine happened like, 20 years ago, and this shit was going on long before that! I’ve been against pro-gun jackasses since I became a democrat at 15, and I haven’t swayed from the positions I held back then, it’s like our stupid fucking culture picks random ass times to…

Didn’t mean to make it sound like one should take precedent over the other, they’re both really fucking important :)

If cancer didn’t have access to firearms George Harrison would still be alive! 

I didn’t click through (because twitter) so I’d like to recant my statement

As someone who is mentally ill (and 1 in 4 people are) I would never want to own a gun, but I don’t care for the sort of insinuation of that thought process. The problem isn’t mental illness (although while we’re at it could we please better fund mental illness? I don’t know how I’m going to afford my medication and…

Vote and donate money, we can’t all be foot soldiers in this fight, but the ones on the ground can use every single vote and dollar you can spare for the cause

I’m on all the mailing lists, but for someone like me with crippling social anxiety (I used to have panic attacks when I was forced to leave the classroom during free periods in high school) a rally is the last place I want to be, but I wish them the best, and I try to do my part in the voting booth, and I applaud…

So did the counter culture of the 60's, but it’s not like that petered out into a fucking nightmare or anything.

I have voted on every single ballot that has come out since I’ve legally been able to. Every single time I get a practice ballot in the mail I go through the list and research every single thing on it and decide what I’m going to vote for, every single time I hear on the news afterwards that people in my demographic…

I’m only about 8 years older than these kids and voter turn out of my demographic is fucking abysmal, I hate to be cynical about this admittedly amazing out pouring of anger and hope, but I’m just so fucking defeated by our government and its processes that I have to hold off hoping for too much until I can actually…

They were never married as far as I know? The general feeling I got from the original show and the movies was that Kermit couldn’t really stand Piggy and that Piggy was generally just trying to pucker him up for juicier roles by fawning over him. The movies altered that dynamic a bit so as to have romantic subplots,…

Yeach, good point. I didn’t mean to make it sound like I don’t love Oz and his work, I’ve just heard a lot about how cantankerous he can be.

I don’t remember hearing much if anything from Ruprecht before Kinja, so I think he’s probably one of your guys. This place was also awesome when it used Disqus

The simple fact of the matter is, there a re a billion ways they could make the Muppets relevant in the modern era, one of the properties greatest strengths is its incredible versatility, you could plug these characters and their pathos into just about anything and it would have potential, but you have to capture the…

The Muppets have meta humor built into their DNA, that’s how they had always been depicted by their creator, and was a key part of the style of humor the Muppets were known for. Asking they be depicted without any sort of fourth wall breaking shenanigans is like asking Batman not have the batmobile, or Donald Duck…

Yeah, Frank Oz kind of sucks based on everything I’ve heard, he’s a goddamn artist behind and in front of the camera when it comes to his craft, but by all accounts he’s an asshole
