I enjoyed the first season and some of the second, but it really didn't need to run for twenty years.

By what definition? I don't think a Chrysler has been manufactured in America since 2016.

Neither of them should've been punished? He was her boss, and decades older than her. He should've kept his pants zipped up.

I imagine jobs reports are going to be fucked for the foreseeable future.

No, the reports will be fine. They'll be excellent. Beautiful, even. They just won't be accurate. The administration has made it clear that they'd rather have good numbers than real numbers.

I just interviewed for an internal posting at my company. It's for a division that we all know is going to be laid off within five years, but I need to get out of my current role. The interviewer told me he got 53 applicants. When the same job was posted for a healthier division eight months ago, they got four.

So, yeah, definitely a few more jobseekers running around these days.

My brother spent a decade hating DS2. I talked him into taking another crack at it with me recently, and once I explained Adaptability to him, the game went from "compete bullshit" to "mostly bullshit."

I think if you marry young, it starts at 1% and grows from there. My wife and I are approaching middle age, and we're only unknowingly taking to ourselves about 20% of the time.

Oh no, filler is a good thing. Filler gives you time to know the characters, and adds depth and color to the world. Filler is where writers actually get to stretch and try out ideas. Filler is what makes a show feel full.

Imagine the X-Files with no filler. We'd lose the Jose Chung episodes, "Home," "the Post-Modern Prometheus," and so many other great episodes. Without the filler, it's just an endless slog through Chris Carter's poorly planned mythology. Just the smoking man and vanishing babies for ~~eleven~~ nine seasons.

suffer loveless relationships

Sex is not the sole expression of love that a person can give to their partner.

I think this one is getting coverage because the shooter was trans. I have a feeling a marginalized group is about to be further vilified and lose more rights.

inherently higher coolness

Ah, autism is nature self-correcting to fight climate change.

Nothing so nefarious as that. Just like a lot of the Constitution, it was to help maintain chattel slavery.
