And that’s exactly the way it SHOULD be and why the EC was set up that way. So that the more populous states can’t dominate the federal government and deny the less populous states equal representation. It’s also why each state gets 2 Senators, regardless of population. The Senate evens out the representation in…

I’m gonna see it this weekend. Mostly because of the buzz around the movie (I feel like I have to form my own opinion about it) and because I won’t lie, I love Affleck as an actor, I think he’s a huge talent. Really, both Afflecks are though Ben is better as a director than as an actor. I don’t want to hang out with…

Stop trying to make “alt-left” happen, it’s never going to happen

When Obama signed the auto bailout Republicans treated it like a Communist revolution.

Don’t do that. You might wake up as stupid as these people and no one needs that.

Nah. We’re not.

Wasn’t this a costume though?

A million times this. People making 6-7 figures posting silly 5 minute videos. Wait until YouTube finally wakes up and realizes they have no real competition and could pay 1/10th that.

They can be pissed but no, they don’t have a right. They decided to leverage a free tool that has no loyalty or obligation to them so they could make money.

I’m not upset, just annoyed. I’m tired of seeing these stories that treat YouTube as the end-all, be-all of web content, and its users as oppressed masses. And as has been said elsewhere, this is not and employer-employee relationship. If those skills and that content are so valuable that they’re marketable on…

I know YouTube users consider YouTube a monopoly. That’s a ridiculous assertion on an open web, but fine, I can see how a community that was born on one platform would be so reticent to try a competitor. See my second point, which you conveniently failed to quote: find something else to do.

They do have the right to be pissed. And they can try to hold their companies accountable... though I wouldn’t recommend it if job security is something they consider important.

So if YouTube is such an awful company, such an unreliable platform for consistent video, why do you continue to do business with them? This is my point: if you’ve tied your entire professional existence to one service, one that’s proven itself to be monolithic and more or less unconcerned with individual users’…

In this metaphor, a camera and a greenscreen would be analogous to power tools. YouTube is more like a giant billboard operator that, for reasons of its own, has decided to give the architect free rent on dozens of its signs. The architect really shouldn’t freak out if one of the lightbulbs goes unchanged for a while.

“This is people’s careers,” JackSepticEye explained. “To completely switch how you do things and not tell anybody is a shitty thing to do.”

You can’t trust these people to deliver an addressed piece of luggage to a pre-determined location with any regularity, and now you want them to give you DRUGS?

I’ve often said air travel would be better for everyone if they drugged us when we walked in the terminal door. Wake me from my coma when I get to my destination.

Guess who wrote it? One of the new people! Who’s surprised? Not me. They always say the most unrelentingly shitty things. Like, what’s his name? Rich? Rick? He literally just seems to not understand the difference between being sassy and bitchy and he’s an ass 99% of the time.

Right?? For a feminist site, the writers sure do like to take catty swipes at women.

If the tone you were going for in the Kristin Davis section was total asshole, you really nailed it.
