Your comment reminded me of this, so I had to go hunt it down for ya.

I feel like you almost touched on this as well when you mentioned the cost of those club fees, but when I read it I immediately thought: if parents took that $1,000-7,000+ per season figure you mentioned (season, I assume, meaning once a year) and instead put it toward their college fund, for just the four years of…

I have to ask (even though I know this is now considered ancient in Internet Time) - does it count if you drank Four Loko when it first came out, before everyone knew it was poison (you know, when you just kinda assumed it was poison because come on - it’s malt liquor + energy drink - but you were in college and…

My dad - who has been my dad since I was one-year-old - is black. As a red-haired, blue-eyed, pale-to-the-point-of-danger-in-five-minutes-of-direct-sunlight, it says something about our relationship that I had no idea he wasn’t my biological father until 7-years-old - and even then, it took some kids mocking me about…

I can’t play scary games - so I just watch my breau play them. In fact, he bought me The Walking Dead game by Telltale and I made him play it for me so I could watch because I was too scared. We got through Resident Evil 7 okay (I watched) - that game was amazing. Outlast was noped out of pretty quick. I was surprised…

This reminds me of the Rick & Morty episode where the president talks about the secret tunnels/dungeons in order of national shame - I immediately wanted to take THAT tour.

I’m sorry, I think you meant to say “...so as not to mess up their covfefe”.

Right, it totally reinforces this idea that she couldn't possibly escape the pull of genetics or something - rather than nurture (her environment and having to grow up being the responsible one) shaping her behavior in a much more salient and influential way. She absolutely knows the consequences of Frank's actions…

This is old as hell now, but I liked the comment and figured “why not”. (The obvious answer being: no one is gonna effing see it, but whatever - I’m used to talking in a vacuum.) I think you’re definitely on to something here - just as the article mentions, I think it’s like how freemium games came into existence.…

You are not alone good Commentor. I’m specifically NOT hyping myself up for the game. Dream Drop Whatever was a slog I couldn’t play for more than 10 minutes before feeling just too out of the loop - this from someone who played Chain of Memories start to finish (and back again), even though I absolutely DESPISED the…

The proverbial Put on a Bus to Hell trope:

I actually opened this article just to kinda see where things are - I originally fell in love with the show’s first two seasons back in college but when I went back and tried to catch up a few years after that, I dropped out in like the third or fourth season because it became just too difficult to watch heartbreaking…

This is just unbelievable. I’ve worked a job handling cash that required us to use one of those pens to check if money is counterfeit - while I personally never encountered a counterfeit bill at any of those jobs, I couldn’t even tell you what you’d do in a situation where you caught one. But the whole point of the…

This might be something to do with the idea of “priming” in psychology - you know what you’re getting and prepared for it when it comes. You might avoid/drop something that looks overtly or gratuitously violent because you expect it will prove upsetting (I’m the same way, dropped Outlast like I owed it money after…

Okay, I know this post is from forever ago (especially in Internet Time) but I just HAD to comment (even if the likelihood of coming out of the grays on this one is slim-to-none). First off, why do these girls pose with their shill of choice like I pose with my cats? (Also, love that Lindsay Lohan mirror-selfie where…

Weirdly relevent: back when I was a super nerd just discovering all the fun things a computer + my imagination + printer could do, I put together a magazine I’d completely made up (comics at the back and everything) and one of the articles I wrote for the magazine was an interview with “The Rock” (I was also super…

I know this is pretty old now (I only just got the game for Christmas) and I would have agreed with you when I first started the unlock grind, but I’m actually enjoying it. I’ve got about 50 of the characters and it’s been a great time. What I found was the best way, for me, was doing a team Smash with me and a random…

To your point about “just wanting to get off” - back in college, this guy came over to my apartment (I lived with three other girls) for a mutual friend’s birthday party. I’d never met him before, but he was flirty and I was flirty back. At the end of the night, I was going to bed and he tried to talk his way into my…

I actually had to Google “stan” and Urban Dictionary was the first thing that came up - super helpful. But boy, howdy do I feel old as hell on the internet sometimes. I literally just used “back in my day” when referencing something on the internet and realized that’s it, it’s all downhill from here.

This reminds me of folks saying it’s okay when a female teacher has sex with one of their male underage students - no, you’re right, that’s not okay either. I think if you’re gonna do something like that - bring someone on stage for something inherently sexualized - you should pick someone before the show and ask…
