Anything that people sympathize with will eventually be used to try to sell them shit. All anyone can do is hope there’s still something left to sympathize with once that’s begun

And here I thought the worst crime someone could commit with a communal microwave was reheating fish

10 or 100 of any measurement being 1 of the next size up and water freezing at zero degrees and boiling at 100? It’s like you want math and science to be intuitive and accessible or something

The Switch is really great for couch multiplayer. I feel like there’re a number of people who would tell you they bought their Switch so they can play with their friends, but don’t feel like they were missing out by sticking to local wifi and avoiding one more sub fee

That means his money has more influence! People truly do not understand that scale of wealth if they think not having the cash on hand is an asterisk. Those stocks and bonds aren’t consolation prizes, they’re the ultimate goal

Now that’s some solid satire! I just googled Pink Boots because you made me laugh, and they sound awesome

It’s abuse, put down the Kool-aid and leave the whataboutism to the GOP

The right views misogyny as an entitlement that’s celebrated or excused as needed. They’re deeply shitty people, there’s nothing more to say than: Brett Kavanaugh. That said, their shittiness doesn’t excuse or absolve the left from a problem that effects the whole country (world, really).

They aren’t angry at pants, they’re angry at women for not living up to their expectations/fantasies. There could be a million reasons that yoga pants specifically have been violently fetishized by this particular wave of misogynists, but really it’s just about policing what women wear and using it as an excuse to…

Yeah, that doesn’t work here. There are toxic men of every political stripe, if you aren’t looking at your own side too you’re ignoring half the problem

Leto was signed as Morbius months ago and the writing was on the wall. Same as Affleck was rumored to be out as Batman (and his brother said that explicitly on a radio interview) before Justice League, and Cavil is “still attached” after being announced as leaving the role.

Are we doing media jackets we’ve always wanted? For me, it’s always been that gold number Luke wore in the last scene of New Hope 

Don’t you know? They’re all future CEOs just riding out a bit of bad luck. Any minute now the system they’re defending is going to start working for them and then the money rolls in

It’s all about cost-benefit. If there is a union, the costs of layoffs could outweigh the benefits, and they’ll find somewhere else to cut costs. And if they don’t, you’re still going to end up with a better deal than “whatever we give you”

Every word here is so true. Depression originates in my brain, but my brain is also where any effective coping mechanism is going to come from. Since I can’t outsmart myself, any counter will always be temporary. But by the same token, depression’s hold is just as tenuous. Keeping that in mind is actually a really…

“Ownin’ the libz” and “passively murdering people with immune system disorders” are interchangeable now? Maybe we can send her some Keurigs to smash

I think treadmill metaphors are the best way to relate living with depression to well-meaning people who can’t wrap their head around it. “You’ve just got to make yourself get back out there” is objectively good advice that’s impossible to take sometimes, but “I definitely need to get back up to speed, but this feels…

Two opportunistic shitheads she has no control over behaved like opportunistic shitheads when given the opportunity, and that’s Pelosi’s fault because she called something people were offended by offensive? Or are we modulating our standards on what casual bigotry we’re willing to accept from our politicians as long…

They’re launching PS5 in the next year or so and players expect cross-play (especially players who have cut their teeth on mobile, ie new customers instead of returning ones). I’d say not alienating those potential customers just to continue doing something that worked well 6-7 years ago is pretty much all-upside

Because Activision decided to take the cut of those record profits that would have gone towards paying those 800 salaries and add it to the money they paid their investors, and everyone left at the company could do all the work these people are leaving behind
