A long time ago, comments used to have to be voted in my approved commenters. We used to have a star. It guaranteed that the conversation was legit or funny, but made more work for star commenters, who had to wade through shit. Then nick Denton "redefined" gawker by criticizing "star" commenters with a ruthless…

Okay there Old Man. Let me break it down for you: lots of young d-bags watch it, but an equal amount of normal martial arts enthusiasts love to watch controlled contact fighting. It's the most primal sport, the most direct person-to-person challenge sport, and one of the most technically demanding sports in the world.…

I don't feel any particular need to cloak myself in any sort of language in order to spare your feelings. And I find your ideas far more offensive than anything I wrote. If you're bothered by the connotations, or corollary implications of the ideas that you're presenting, maybe you should reexamine what you're putting…

Beyond nonsense. A character, fleshed out by years of continuity retains their motivations, their backstories, their families and their concerns. John Stewart lost nothing becoming Green Lantern, for example he merely took on the mantle of GL. It took nothing away from Hal Jordan, and neither did Hal take anything…

So you spent your time with James in this story alternately comparing yourself to Norman Mailer (quite literally, as a matter of fact), and exploring your own core of novelistic self-flagellation. Then you conclude with the statement that James has brought his high school troupe with him, and is in fact not a…

Calling yourself a "history dork" is pretentious puffery. It's double-sticky-super puffery if you're applying the standards of history to what is clearly dramatized historical fiction.

There are a few things said in this article that are dubious at best, some that seem specious and incorrect at worst. It's, of course, what I would expect from an outfit like Jalopnik, that's quite a bit more interested in fanning flames than in actually reporting, but still, it's disappointing.

Silva didn't decide to "hot dog" in his previous fight. His whole career is built on unnerving his opponents and then winning in unexpected ways. His skill is in massive precision on counter-strikes and his strategy is to lure opponents into vulnerable positions.

Of course fat in foods makes you fat, don't be a fucking idiot

I'm not being a word nazi. I'm taking journal in the sense that this article is taking it - a personal record of your daily status and activities. In point of fact, there's no difference between the terms "personal journal" and "diary", as both are records of daily activities. However, what the terms DO have in common…

There is no way in hell that the viscous monstrosity that you posted has a bottom crust that is anything but a disintegrated mush sitting in a pool of oil drained from that Costco mozarella.

Cream in stuff like this is weird, and I find it relatively gross. Not only does it add a whole lot of unwanted sweetness to dishes that should be savoury, forcing you to balance that out. But if you add cream to potatoes while they're hot, when it's easiest and probably best to mash and serve them, you get a sort of…

So the secret to mashed vegetables is heavy cream and cheese? The secret to lasagna is heavy cream and cheese (even though that's a horrifying abortion of a lasagna)? There's a secret to these recipes, and the secret is "you and your family will be fat".

Hey bud, nobody cares how you "feel" about anything on god's green earth. We only care that your actions make you seem like a reasonable part of civil society. If this means you aren't allowed to do things that other people deem racist well thats something that you have to swallow.

Just piping up to make this absolutely clear: As someone who's family is affected by PTSD, and who understands the condition intimately, this in NO CONCEIVABLE WAY is IN ANY WAY a solution or even a remedy either fully or partially, to PTSD. PTSD is a specific condition caused by extreme mental or physical trauma. It…

Was Myst a good game? Hard to say. It's puzzles were tricky but not ingenious. The game was hard to solve, but not exactly fun.

How do I get rid of this "restriction code" thing?

The anatomy of an A+ ACADEMIC PAPER ON DETROIT:

Wow so stress management manages your stress. HOLY SHIT!!!! LA REVOLUTION!!!

That statement is so completely ridiculous that I can't possibly continue any sort of dialogue here.
