In my experience they've already been looking to trade up long before they're "stolen" away. They don't leave the person they're currently with because they don't want to be single and the person they're with is "better than nothing".

Okay, it is time for an intervention. You guys (collectively, everyone who writes for Jalopnik) uses the word "terrifying", or variations there of, way too much. Seriously, if this were a drinking game we'd all be terrifyingly drunk. At some point, when everything is terrifying, nothing is terrifying. Please get a…

You can't win with proper grammar in West Virginia, trust me. "Good paying" is exactly the folksy shit that got George W. elected.

"Ah, read about this," guy says at the beginning. Left out: "on Foodspin."

Can't help myself—this was the absolute first thing to come immediately to mind.

I have theory that this is part of why pop culture these days is so mediocre. How many people reach adulthood without learning how to handle criticism? Constructive criticism is a great gift to creative people who know how to use it. It's sometimes hard to deal with and it can sometimes hard not to take it…

The more I think about it, the more creeped out I am by this Hale lady. Okay, some lady wrote a bad review and maybe lied about the book. It's called trolling. It's the internet. It happens. The fact that her response to this was not to try to dispense with concerns over the content, but rather to ACTIVELY STALK THIS…

So, I used to be a book blogger for YA books, popular enough that the New York Times seemed to think I had an opinion worth sharing at one point or another. And there are plenty of things I could say about how publishers rely too much on bloggers and court them too heavily. But. BUT.

My bad, I spaced on that and the explanation. I'm changing it. You should chill, though.

Breaking out the L.A. uniforms a bit prematurely, eh guys?

Here's an amazing idea, assume every copy shipped will sell, then make sure your servers can handle the load of all of them being online simultaneously. Assume player participation will drop precipitously and lease hardware as required. It's not fucking rocket science.

I have been laid off from my share of game studios, mostly big ones. The story is always the same, "we didn't meet sales target", "we ran out of money", "we have to delay our game and we have to let go a few people to free up budget".

Those Cardinals fans love dominant pitching, but will gladly settle for three Ks.

"Sorry about that. Here, have some blankets..."

A spanking - a quick smack on the butt to break a cycle of hysteria, is not beating. But good luck telling the people on Gawker media this, most of them don't even have kids. It's the classic "well from my armchair and keyboard I can say 100% of the time if you spank you are bad". This is simply not true.

I've started to notice the people that say "Don't tell me how to raise my kids!" are the exact people that need to be told how to raise their kids.

She should have held up his rap sheet and asked the cocktard to read it.

I am super mad at you for making me look at a pic of Jack Black.

Hey, I agree with you. I just know that I'm a Skins fan and I use similar logic-salves to soothe my fears about RGIII.
