This was my last Splinter article. The hypocrisy here is fucking astounding.

Exactly.  The CEO of the company my dad worked for used to skip work on Fridays, pay to go to one movie at the mall, and then just go from theater to theater watching other movies for free until he got bored.  The man collected classic cars as a hobby but he was too cheap to buy a second movie ticket. 

I’ll go months without hate-watching and then I’ll come home from work pissy on a Friday night when Trump’s done something stupid, and I think to myself, I’m just going to watch Bill’s opening monologue.  I’m going to turn it off before the panel. But then I get sucked in and hate myself. 

This comment takes an amazing left turn at the end. 

I mean, 10 million people are playing ESO through Bethesda. It’s the second most popular MMO right now and it won a handful of awards for best MMO in 2017, and it’s been around 4 years, but that’s clearly just an “unestablished platform” 

This isn’t a huge shocker.  I play Elder Scrolls Online - the current Bethesda/Zenimax MMO - and you can either purchase the game through Steam or through Bethesda.  People in my guilds who log in through Steam are constantly complaining about it when they can get on. Those of us who bought and log in through the…

Too everyone in the grays telling me how stupid I am, I’m going to repeat again, I am not making this argument, I am just trying to answer a question about someone else’s comment. I’m not trying to make any point myself about Universal Basic Income, so kindly shut the fuck up.

I converted the closet in my extra bedroom to an indoor grow room for about 4 5-6 saplings, 3 full plants.  I had to restart my current grow cycle after I forgot to secure the closet door and my cat knocked it open while I was at work and pulled every single sapling out of the ground and chewed them up.  Fucking narc.…

Forgive me for going part strawman here, but I’m trying to enunciate the argument he’s making more than make an argument of my own here.

In discussions about Universal Basic Income, opponents will often make the claim (here’s my strawman part, sorry) that if you pay someone money who doesn’t have a job, then they will…

The theory was that they all died in the plane crash and that the island was purgatory - that everything that happened on the show was purgatory. That was not the case. Half of only the last season took place in an after life (in the LA metro actually, not on the island), not any part of the rest of the show.

So if…

IMO Fargo has done a consistently good job with it’s casting. I’m going to be optimistic and hope that Noah Hawley and team think something about Rock’s style, deliver, presence, etc. is perfect for this character they’ve created. 

Funny, I thought the UFO angle made it the most interstellar.

3 is the only season I haven’t seen yet and I’m in purgatory waiting for it to come on Hulu.  

“is just free-associated bullshit some guy dreamed up.”

Has anyone seen Dan Brown lately? Because this sounds like an especially bad Dan Brown plot. 

So much this. I was talking to two of my friends who I usually agree with political, but despite their liberalism, they have a deep attachment to Christianity (I’m in the Bible Belt). We’re currently in a lot of debates about medical marijuana here now and I made a comment about how I personally use marijuana. That…

Based on what you can see from the packaging, this appears to be the butcher they used if anyone is interested:

Don’t forget, they’re also useful for giving Splinter bloggers something to rail against.  

I get so confused by trolls like this. My coworker who bought an AR-14, my two cousins, my uncle, the multiple clients I had with them when I practiced in a small Oklahoma town, ALL claim to have spent money on this gun (and it’s not a cheap investment for the average person) because it’s a superior weapon to the…

If I was Hannity, I’d be asking why Trump recommended I use the same lawyer that Giuliani is now calling incompetent, corrupt and a known liar.

Sometimes you throw a person a bone when you’re trying to win a bigger point.

I’m a property lawyer who spends all day arguing with bankers who don’t have law degrees but think they know more about the law than me. Sometimes I’ve got to kiss their ass a bit to get them to lower their defensiveness and actually open…
