"Reading?? What the hell do you think this is, a library? No, you want to go back out to the highway, head south for about half a mile, you're looking for the intersection of Queer Street and Fuck-You-For-Not-Using-Google-Plus Boulevard."

Giving a speech on how we need to waste more money on Amtrak while standing three fucking inches from certain, spectacular, disembodied-head-soaring-through-the-air death.
Walking on the roof of a train powered by overhead electrical lines.
Seriously, the only thing that would have made that video better was if the train hit him. I mean, the timing! His flunkie's all "Safety.. as you know, is paramoun--" then BAM! Decapitated Senator!
Oh, Lord, why do you taunt me so?

I don't know what morbs just said because reading is for [insert set of people that contains everyone on this forum].

This girl is very famous. That is photoshop picture of her. She looks much better in life.

There might be minor airbrushing, but I linked to an entire gallery of photos of her and that's exactly what she looks like.

Plastic surgery is real life Photoshopping.

KILL ITI'm not saying I want to hear her theories on a topic like, say, the social construct of racial identity (spoiler: she is a white supremacist), but I don't want to kill her. I'd be too busy trying to snap it off inside her to care.

She's a human Barbie doll. There's nothing there, buddy. Just molded plastic.

Or worse, the ones that try to become like anime characters using surgery, at least to me they project abject terror.

Using public money to pay for people to display their garbage on a street corner.
Now, see, that's one of the better ideas you can have. Sure, it sucks for us, but somebody out there got paid to litter. That person is a genius.

Yeah, that's why I said "paying," not "getting paid." What do you expect? It's Canada.

The project, on display at 33rd Street and Avenue C, consists of two bales of scrap plastic and was intended by Haftner to start a discussion about waste and the place of art in the city.
You know, there's such a thing as doing too good of a job, buddy.

The worst thing about it is anyone who writes code and uses the internet knows how to search for that kind of video except with less quizzes and underwear.
Remember, being a heterosexual male is an illness and society is going to try to make you feel guilty for it.
If it was a site that used scantily-clad men to help straight women, it would be unremarkable. If it was meant for gay men, it would be hailed as "brave"* or a big step towards yada-yada.
That doesn't mean I care for it. Does everything in our culture need to be overtly sexualized? And I doubt it's really all that helpful for people..
(*This word is almost always misused. Unless they're talking about a firefighter charging into a burning building or a soldier charging an enemy to save a fellow soldier or someone facing real harm, then when you hear this word you can be sure the speaker is full of it. In fact, what they mean by "brave" is "this was the easy, socially-acceptable thing to do, and, in fact, we'd probably criticize you for not doing it or for doing the opposite.")

The bad idea in this case is jumping into a river while being attacked by a superpowered fish but you don't know how to swim and your skull is made of paper mache.

Pfft.. you're just envious. Like Jeff Bezos, you wish you hadn't passed up the opportunity to give Joe Klein's cunty offspring $10 million to build a shitty website.

It's astonishingly shitty. The color scheme is a crime against vision, the content is vapid and condescending, and their "cards" thing is like somebody new to the internet heard all the complaints about slideshows, and thought the problem was with the photographs. How does something like this exist and get money? Why aren't I pitching something to an idiot VC right now to get on the bandwagon? "It's like Vox, but the color scheme is black on white."Have we discussed Vox yet? That thing is terrible in every conceivable way.

Dude, you live in a universe where Twitter--a company will always lose money--is worth $25 billion.

Copyright theft as a business idea.
I hate activist journalism. But last week, I was responsible for the death of a startup. It was probably the fastest death in the history of the tech industry: four hours from launch to deadpool, by my reckoning.

The author has attracted much fish due to his culture comment.

Likely Harrison Ford lines in Star Wars VII
Get off my lawn, ewoks!
Hey Lando, got any Tums?
My hemorrhoids feel like a missle just hit my exhaust port
Tell Jabba I'll have his money right after the early bird special
Come on baby, hold together. I used to say that to my ship, now I say it to my wife
Last time I had a hardon I was frozen in carbonite

I love that he blamed it on Android. I would have gone with the "Someone stole my phone at the bar" gambit. "They must have found the names in my contacts and decided to do that as a prank. Kids these days, I dunno.."

America is a sad place, now. People will do anything for money. Anything. Even people like Harrison Ford who I used to respect see no problem in selling out for a few more bucks. I mean, the guy's gonna be dead in a few years, most likely, he should really be enjoying retirement.
Of course, he is married to Calista Flockhart, right? On second thought, if I was Harrison Ford I'd be looking for any excuse to be out of the house, even if it meant hanging out with greasy nerds like J.J. Abrams.
