Wait, is this a response to the post or to a comment? I'm pretty sure that George believes that interracial relations, a lack of slavery (or at least a worldwide charter of human rights that decries slavery) and the right of women to vote are good things... it's just that it took a lot of people centuries to realize…

Well, I guess it's how you interpret "entirely destabilizing", right? The Gutenberg Press marked the start of one of the most tumultuous periods in European history, sparking both the Reformation and over 100 years of war between religious factions. Sure, we assimilated, but it wasn't without a LOT of pain and…

Famously defensive and combative person gets defensive and combative on Twitter. :|

I'm kind of in a depressing life slump right now and ended up watching the last two seasons of How I Met Your Mother in one go. I guess I mentioned it a few days ago when critiquing shows that seem to have a skewed racial view of New York, and was like "speaking of which, I wonder how that show's held up over the last…

I suppose it's a matter of personal taste. I felt like some of the answers meandered and could use a heavy dose of editing to bring out some more clarity and sharper jokes.

Well, actual hacking of databases is illegal, so they would be moving from a legal act (using publicly available information) to risking several years in prison.

I was hoping this would be as fun to read as those Thatz Not Okay featurettes in Gawker. But I guess it just goes to show that there actually is an art to writing Ask Abby-style opinion columns and not everyone has the ability.

I will believe this when we actually measure it against impotence from "other" days.

Definitely not the first laptop for womenfolk. Shoot, I'd see one come across my desk every other month back in my Gizmodo days.

Not quite a Princess, but I guess there's always Chicha from The Emperor's New Groove - Disney's attempt to make a buddy comedy.

Idiocracy had its funny moments, but at its heart was an incredibly classist movie meant to make anybody who's smarter than a "hick", but not smart enough to actually understand demographic movements and the role of a good learning environment in enhancing IQ, feel better about themselves.

I thought Yoga in the States was really about as religious as Christmas is in the States. As in, yes, you will have certain reams of the population devoted to telling you about how every move you make is in the worship of a deity, but most people just go about the motions of it because it feels good and is "fun."

They are so cheap that I barely know what to do with myself when I'm in there. Like cheaper than Walmart cheap, but way more fashionable. It makes me wonder if I'm wearing a shirt drenched in the lost dreams of sweatshop children.

Most of them are lovely in other ways, they just all seem to share the same obsession over curating their own closet that I can never match.

Strangely, the men in my life have been the most annoyingly particular about shopping. I had an ex try on about thirty different baseball caps before he picked the one he wanted. My brother once went to four different stores to find the Vans in the exact color/fabric he wanted. My dad gets his shirts tailored and will…

Facebook had only gotten to Top 50 schools in 2002, so it's probably not too weird that nobody had it in 2004 - I think they hadn't opened it up to people without a college id yet.

I was going to say, I'm lazy as shit, I don't think I want my boyfriend to know how much time I spend in one position on the couch all day.

Okay, so I got these sometime last year because they were on sale through Groupon and here's two observations:

That... that movie... blew my mind with its inability to come to a more obvious solution than a giant leg-operated ironing machine.
