“Trump has treated the American people, broadly speaking, as shit-eating dumbasses” ... keep me posted on when this actually stops working for him. Note: Outrage, protests, “can you believe this shit?” questions, his stupid executive orders he passes to distract everyone getting blocked are not an indicator of things…

1. As non-PC as it is to say it, stereotypes are often based on a kernel of truth. There is a reason (sometimes outdated or becoming outdated) that they exist.
   

I’ve not seen this insult in common usage, but maybe it’s just the crowd I hang out with. The reality is getting insulted by idiots is a part of life, unfortunately. No matter how “normal” you are there will always be idiots who pick at the slightest thing to put you down, in order to make themselves feel better. An…

He *is* his mirror-universe counterpart!

Good job objectifying those women! I can see you have assumed they are dumb based on their looks. They are lucky to have someone like you who is smart enough to see how they’re being shamefully manipulated and controlled. Also, great work objectifying Monster as a monolithic entity, single mindedly out to suppress…

I’ve seen all 9 BP nominees from 2016 plus all the Marvel movies. Comparing an artfully done indie movie like Moonlight to a big budget Marvel movie is like comparing an orange to chocolate cake. They’re both food, the cake costs more, and you’d probably get more people saying they like cake. But really, what’s the…

OK, yeah, you’re right... I missed the expensive part. There’re plenty of crappy pay media players (on desktop and mobile), but they’re not expensive. I guess I was just thinking VLC is good free software.

How about VLC media player?

Next up: article railing about similar meaningless “often quoted” metrics in other product categories: LCD monitor contrast ratio, phone display PPI, copper cable oxygen free percentage, etc. Unfortunately marketing != meaningful information communication.

Looks like a good deal but I tried it and got the message: “Please add qualifying items to your cart for promotion ZEROG.” Clicking for details on the discount says it is good for $80 off qualifying products. The monitor linked in the article is $370, so even if the promo code worked, it would be $290, not $200.

I tried Prime Pantry. Once I filtered out products that I bought generic or store brands cheaper than Amazon, products I would use often enough to need regularly, and products that Amazon actually had, it was VERY difficult to bypass the $5/box fee. After a few months of way too much shampoo, way too little dog food,…

Every “news” story (including this one) has a bias in it, all the way down to the words used by it. The biases run from < 1% (“Armstrong Walks on Moon”) to > 99% (“Election is Rigged”) but none are 0% and none are 100%. Claiming some news is “fake” means you’re picking an arbitrary bias percentage above which news is…

I agree with your assessment of unbridled maximizing profits being the cause of a lot of the inequities we have today. Unfortunately it’s not just the 1% fat cats benefiting from that, but everyone with a stock portfolio or retirement fund. And, if the government forces corporations not to maximize profits, foreign…

Warning: these things are a GREAT concept, but currently really broken on a Galaxy S6. The phone continuously loses contact with them (kind of eliminating the value of them), and constantly wants to restart the phones bluetooth, which causes any music or phone conversation to be dropped. Tile has been telling me…

I’ve got two of these and I can say they installed super easy, and seem to work really well. The app and web interface are a great way to analyze your energy usage.

Just remember, 50% of the world’s population has IQ’s under 100. We should prevent them from voting, voicing their opinions, and perhaps from breeding, right?

And here I thought this article was going to be about the fact that Gordon Freeman died at the end of HL, and HL2 was all his dying brain concocting a hero-fantasy dream as he breathed his last breaths. It explains the gap in time between HL and HL2, the hero worship in HL2 for a guy who was basically a nobody in HL,…

I bought 3 of those Dash buttons yesterday! $12 down the drain.
