Saying something’s easy to hate doesn’t mean one hates it or that hate for it is justified.

One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending…

there was a great comment/idea about why nebraska sucks ass now in (i think) a SBNation article. excuse me if I am way off on this.

I really like the show, but its fandom is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. A bunch of people seem to think that the show endorses Rick’s behavior and philosophy and...no, it realllllly doesn’t.

I hope so.

Lens flare and retread complaints, that’s what I call a fresh take!

Sure, shitkicker.

Ugh, Ellen, NO. When someone tells you they are afraid of something, it is cruel to subject them to it because YOU think it would be funny.

we [whites] on the left want to pretend

Shit like this shows that upper class whites can be racist as hell too. I know we on the left want to pretend it’s all the confederate flag waving, uneducated yokels that are racists, but it’s middle class and rich folks too. It’s classist to assume racism is a poor man’s game.

Linda Cohn was suspended for criticizng her employer.

You’re aware that it was the penultimate point of the second set, which ended with a score of 22-20. You do that shit for 90 minutes and see how easy a two minute point will be.

And those employers can refuse to hire a rapist. Just because he’s free doesn’t mean the rest of the world has to forget that he’s a rapist. There can also be consequences for actions aside from those imposed by the law.

And were they given scholarships to play football at a public university, thereby sending public funds directly towards their benefit?

I have to ask: How is he not being allowed to move on with his life? He went back to high school (where he played football), graduated, and is pursuing higher education. That seems pretty good! There are a lot of people, who didn’t rape anyone, who don’t get that opportunity. In what world is not getting to…

“Hey, I have a lot of black friends. Exactly four.”

Look, even if this shit had been nothing but actual pranks, that’s still an evil thing to do to your child. Your kid should never, ever feel tricked by you. On purpose. For your amusement.

Again, why is suicide his only option vs. “not being rehired after sexually harassing people”?

“ she didn’t know she hit him”. Oh, okay, so your best defense is a reckless disregard for use of a fucking firearm? Like, I deal with a lot of homeless folks. Thanks to our broken mental health system, a lack of social services, and rampant drug abuse, it is totally possible for a homeless guy to, for want of a…

But when she ripped up that photo, Sinead was protesting and trying to get public attention on the Magdalene laundries that were yet another Catholic Church horror show. (And more to come!) The only reason the Magdalene laundries were discovered is because a developer, who had just bought land from some nuns, found a…
