Hey Lauren, I just want to chime in along with everyone else and let you know this is a really shitty post. Like, colossally shitty. I don’t even have any snark for you. Clinton won the popular vote, she was profoundly qualified, and she got shat on for being a woman who knows how to get shit done in a world dominated…

I think you’re underestimating the anti-intellectual factional stupidity of the Republican base. Watch me rationalize it all away in two words:

Good news is, he’s never done anything like this before, so gross as it is, maybe this was just a one-t—

Only thing I worry about is that he gets a free pass if a Republican is elected to office in 2020, because you know a pardon is coming. Given this site’s (and in general, the left’s) propensity for turning into raging purity hellbeasts around election time, it’s not a given that the Democratic nom gets elected. I know…

They’re also limiting the private beta’s ubiquitous request for backup audio pings to one per 15 minutes

Also:

I don’t really expect to change minds with this comment, but I do think inability to find compromise within our own party is going to be our downfall. There is a way to think both that 1) Feinstein should advocate harder for the Green New Deal, and 2) that trotting out kids and cameras with the specific intent of…

Not trolled, but they’ve certainly fallen, hook, line, and sinker, for misleading propaganda that they want to believe. Again. We’ll see if they correct this, or if they haven’t learned anything since they went full Berner in 2016 and dutifully played their role in getting Trump elected. My money’s on the second one.

Snowball’s chance in hell would be giving it too much of a shot of happening, I think. I’ve been wrong before, and I’d be happy to be wrong again, but Splinter’s track record on biting on self-defeating propaganda and staying the course means I would be surprised.

I’m Not Sure how I feel about this. Definitely still excited for the movie though.

TO BE FAIR, a cirle with an X in it is the symbol for Slenderman, so maybe Roger Stone was just trying to set Slenderman after the judge. “Pagan symbols,” you know? I’m sure that’s what it was.

I don’t think you should fault yourself for wanting to believe a victim. Believing is about seeking the truth earnestly, and if at the end of that the victim ends up being a lying liar who lies and made it up out of whole cloth, then that’s what it is. You follow the evidence where it leads, even if it ends up…

1) This show was fucking terrible. Just awful. Incoherent, stupid, poorly acted, poorly written, poorly shot, poorly paced, poorly directed. I am dumber for having watched this show.

I understand, which is why I led with the Amnesia example. I feel like the Outlast scare worked though — I’ve rolled my eyes at my share of jump scares over the years, because they were telegraphed, or they were substitutes for actual fear in terrible horror movies, but this one felt different. It was sharper, more…

The entirety of Amnesia: The Dark Descent is probably the most scared I’ve ever been in a game, with the peak coming in the prison area when I was too scared to leave one of the cells because of the horrible sounds I was hearing in the dark. Just couldn’t do it. 

Based on some of the other pictures I’ve unfortunately seen of Trump in his MAGA hats (or MAGATs), I have have to ask: Where the fuck is his hair?

I’d very much like any Supreme Court case to end up 8-1, with only Bart siding with the government, just to show how much he doesn’t belong on the court/needs to be impeached.

But the important question is, who is better at emails? Uh huh. That’s what I thought.

AAAA This news has put me in such a good mood. Absolutely can’t wait.

I was iffy on Hollow Knight, but got it on the recommendation of a friend. It’s easily among my favorite games. The story, setting, and characters are compelling and heartfelt, the art design is spectacular, the music is haunting and beautiful, the gameplay is rewarding — easy to get into, but tough to master — and…
