I totally get what you like about Auld Lang Syne (actually, I don’t get the chord stuff, I’m not that musical), but it’s become a different song to me. I’ve lived in Japan for a long time, and that song is the national “we’re closing” song in every mall, gym or other place with set hours.  It now has a Pavlovian…

This is the most interesting trailer DC movies have managed in a while. That said...

I remember how f-ing mad I was when I bought this game, I thought it was impossible. Not having tons of games, I kept at it and one day I got it. I don’t think I ever got it as well as I did now just watching that YouTube play through, but video game logic wasn’t what it is now 30 years ago. I’m sure I finished it…

Congratulations! My first home came three years ago, and though I haven’t done it recently, I had a lot of nights where I looked around and smiled, thinking “this is my place.” There’s an incredible empowerment at having a place.  For me, I just have to keep paying for thirty years, but it’s mine if I can keep it up.

We shouldn’t pick on looks, but man, if I were to choose a human avatar of Pepe the Frog, this would be it.

I love American culture, I love speaking the world’s language, English, but I’m so thankful I wasn’t born in America.  Honest truth.

I would love it if these sites were owned by a benevolent billionaire who wasn’t obsessed with extracting every dollar of profit out of them. Just having a healthy media company, where people get paid, and good product is made. It seems a little far-fetched in the nightmare America that was predicted in gritty ‘80s…

This is somewhat of an American problem: in America, the managers are jerks, and the customers, 5% of them, are terrible, giving the managers confidence in their crappy attitude.

Total nonsense. RT scores were greatly unbalanced by obsessive fans complaining. 54% of 2,359? That’s like 1,400 real humans, assuming some weren’t bots. Most people don’t care that much.

If you want to make a difference in America, become airport security or border patrol or police. Right now, thousands of paranoid, immigrant-hating assholes have become border patrol, thanks to 9/11 and a confused concept of patriotism. Too many decent people choose to become teachers or hospital workers.  The…

This makes me so mad, because we all knew it was a matter of time before some nut would attack a media outlet, and because we all know how this will be treated by the stooges in the swamp that Trump has built. They will blame a mentally ill individual, they won’t place any blame on the continuing proliferation of…

Heartbreaking. My daughter is now nine, and I can’t imagine a day without her (or at least a brief FaceTime when she’s with her grandparents). Dads who leave their kids aren’t loving people, but they must have had something break them when they were very young.

Why am I grayed while this is here? I want to participate but Kinja is garbage.

The Drudge Report is even more nauseating, massive all-caps saying he hung himself despite the CNN link not stating it. It’s this sort of stuff that makes other countries think America is a shithole country.

I kind of love her

“If anything has changed between now and the movie’s 10-year anniversary, it’s that the internet has transformed into this place, where every conspiracy theory is true, where everyone is always watching, waiting for you”

This case doesn’t bother me because it’s a wedding cake, and baking it would be having the baker participate in something against their religion. I think it’s incredibly dangerous to say that you can refuse service as a right. Imagine a gay kid in a small town, kicked out of their home: the local motel refuses to…

Kushner seems like a less terrible person here. The purpose of prison must be reforming, not punishment. Sessions continues to be a repugnant human.

I can’t not sing along if I’m into it. It was an embarrassing habit at age 14, but I’ve generally managed to rein it in as an adult.
