The lightbulb industry is one of the extremely well-documented examples of planned obsolescence. All of the lightbulb makers in the world agreed to make their lightbulbs less efficient so that people would have to buy more of them. Fascinating history. It came out in court documents many years later as part of an…

When Donald Trump first announced his candidacy, how many states do you think he could find on a map?

Fishing happens in marine reserves every day.  It’s a mostly pretend conservation designation.  I wouldn’t rule out people breaking laws.

Yes, the bulge is random.  The shape of it doesn’t match the other outline.  It’s a literally impossible forecast.  No one would have ever forecasted that model because it’s atmospherically and mathematically impossible.  He doesn’t realize how stupid this makes him look.

No, the problem is not that harassers are all gay.  The common thread is their insane zealotry.  The VP is just a religious nutjob.  Stop blaming all discrimination on the minorities who face it.

He brainwashed gay men into hating themselves, then he took their money, now he’s giving that money to Donald Trump, and he expects gay men to have sex with him.  He’s still evil!  

Or maybe you should’ve paid attention in your science classes and studied intensively beyond tenth grade.  No one agrees with any of this.

The AV Club is re-promoting this article in September 2019.  I had to do double and triple takes, and still can’t figure out why.

Stop blaming gay people for their own harassment and discrimination.  The VP is straight, and yet straight people love to absolve themselves of everything.  It’s not funny (especially after the joke has been made ten million times).  It’s just lame and sick.

Even for people living in the south, it’s not really their “culture” either. Most bigots are not spending their evenings at the public library and studying up on history and genealogy. They are not collecting artifacts and visiting museums. They’re just dumb bigots.

However, even with all this money coming in, he still won’t pay his bills to the cities where he rallies, and he will still only be a thousandaire. How can all of these things be simultaneously true?!  Forget what his supporters say; he is one of the worst businessmen in the country.

A game show host once said, “When you’re a star, they let you do it.”

Almost all of the boomers I know never volunteer.  I mean literally whole decades go by without them volunteering anywhere for anything.  Their children are the “self-absorbed” ones?  Fuck that shit.

The chance of dying in a hurricane or a mass shooting is extremely small. Americans shouldn’t care about these issues because they might happen to them; they should care because it’s the reasonable and empathic response. Americans should care that other people are being murdered, even though murder is still rare.

At least today there are some people who care about us.  In 1,000 years, we’ll be boring, or heretics, or witches, and we’ll definitely be imprisoned and tortured, and no one alive will care.

Keleigh is a madeup misspelling of Caleigh? Where the hell are you from? This is some nonsense. Both names (like most names) are “made up.” You’ve been about as brainwashed as a Mississippi McKaiydenn.

“Grow up,” is your suggestion?!  It’s too late.  We just have to wait for them to die, and in the mean time, hope that their children aren’t equally worthless.  You can’t unbrainwash these freaks.

How is St. Edward Catholic School still awarding diplomas?  I won’t block anyone’s right to walk in there, but there is no way a teenager should be walking out with some kind of credential.  Those teens aren’t equal to teens who attend actual schools.  This is more Liberty University “biology major” bullshit. 

Has anyone provided an explanation for choosing Iraq as the destination? Did Greece refuse to accept him? Did we even ask Greece? It sounds like he had become a “stateless” person, and such people are supposed to get some protection from the UN. Has anyone at ICE even bothered to write up one of their PR statements?…

So a person who had bulimia 30 years ago can never buy a rifle, and their next door neighbor can buy 500 automatic and semi-automatic weapons with tens of thousands of bullets.  Why should any nation copy that idea?
