Yeah he's good

It's kind of nice too because this is a different community than other ones and I talk about different things here. When I'm posting on reddit it's a constant effort to never ever ever say anything even mildly personally identifying because that site is full of crazy assholes, over here I can actually loosen up and…

This is an honest question about how this site is structured, I'm not trying to be shitty: Are people getting assigned to political stories they don't want to write? From the zeal you find in the writing it feels like they're coming from a very intentional place, but that might just them being good at writing what…

Yeah exactly. I don't want to remember myself lying back and accepting this, and I'm honestly a little proud that they're willing to risk losing some readers in order to do the right thing. I'll be staying, that's for sure. We could very well be standing at the beginning of one of those parts of history that gets a…

Yeah at the end of the day it's a pop culture website, all the content won't be interesting for all the people reading. The vast majority of stuff on here doesn't interest me on any level, but I've figured out how not to get mad at articles about marvel movies or indie bands or whatever. I just don't click on them…

I completely agree. I'm set up for news updates from a bunch of different sources, but basically once a day I have to learn about some happening from another place. Nobody can cover everything, so I'm happy to be getting information from more angles. Plus avclub employs funny, passionate people, so it's a better…

Yeah nobody ever got their heart stolen by a gentleman email scammer before he caught the last train west. It's all getting less interesting

You'd need to be able to hijack the customer support line or something, there's just so many layers now. There's a reason it's all gone over to carding and email scams, in-person confidence hustles just don't work the same way these days.

You ever hear that line about world war three being fought with nukes and world war four getting fought with sticks? I think we can look forward to a revival of acoustic music being played on scavenged instruments

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Homeboy found a notebook and rustled up a pen, started some headings, gave it just the most cursory conceivable once-over, and then couldn't even be bothered to hang onto his book. It's so much funnier than if it were just nothing

We really should have learned our lesson with Tila Tequila. People who are hot on the internet for a living are not real celebrities and it's unhealthy for them and for us to treat them as though they were

Apparently the deal is a bunch of professional instagram havers were going to show up, so it sold out before the bands were even announced. To borrow from Onstad, it's a bunch of "bright eyed liars with half a soul and the balance owed to Satan," shelling out thousands of actual dollars just like you or I work for…

I don't even like puns and that was pretty alright

Yeah it's actually funnier than if there were just nothing. With nothing, it's very clear you got scammed. With nothing plus a cheese sandwich, it looks like someone had started to take the first step to endeavor to think about stage one of the beginning of the logistics and then something happened and they stopped.…

God that's fucked up. We've gone from Woodstock to people buying tickets to a festival before it's confirmed there will be music in under fifty years. The draw to this thousand dollar music festival is that you might get some validation from strangers out of the deal. Black Mirror is a documentary

True, but it sucks in direct proportion to how able you were to pay and how much of your cash that was. Getting short changed on your last twenty bucks is a very different kind of suck than your luxury destination music festival not working out, and I sincerely doubt anyone was spending their bottom thousand dollars…

My buddy is dragging me down to Guatemala for a week here pretty soon and I'm gonna be stoked if I get a relief tent for some parts of the trip we have planned. Dude is talking about renting hammocks and paying extra for mosquito netting, it's gonna be rugged. Harden up, rich kids.

I don't think it would work any more. That's a pre-cell phone hustle if I've ever heard of one

Preacher hurt me on an almost physical level. So many parts were done so well, but the fish was clearly rotting from the head down. There were just some absolutely bizarre decisions that clearly got made very early, and it led to such a fundamentally wrong-feeling product.

I'm with you on that one. If they fuck this up and you decide to try the. lol afterward, you'll still be going into the better version of the thing knowing half the stuff that happens. You've spoiled the destination and much of the journey if you go at it that way. Just read the good book instead of gambling on the…
