If you're going to use parentheses, just go full-on confusion with something like (B[D)(S]M).

I'm sad to say that it took me a minute to recognize the actual meaning.

They do that on Reddit? I definitely remember seeing criticism of her unfunny comics practically every time.

My views on Republicans are similar. The voters are both ignorant and poor, as well as selfish and wealthy. Those are two subsets of the same group. The leadership tends to fall into the latter category, with a few idiots thrown in for good measure.

I have had no trouble with my Brother printer in ~7-8 years of use. Of course, laser vs inkjet is not a particularly fair comparison, but I am still never going back to HP, Canon, and the like.

Shrinkflation hits IKEA Family by removing 5% discount (i.imgur.com)

IKEA Family is a membership program, like grocery store memberships. The only real feature of the program was their 5% discount. But now, they are getting rid of it to focus on "New Lower Price offers". I'm not holding my breath that their prices are going to come down anytime soon....

This is ignoring all of the other ways in which we're fucked.

Can we just get some real public transportation options in the USA? I've visited Washington D.C., Boston, and New York City recently, and I'm in love with the subway (etc). Where I live would still require a car, but afaik, none of the major cities around me have anything more than a lackluster bus system.

Breaking Rule (i.imgur.com)

A tumblr post of a Twitter screenshot saying "accidentally watched 30 minutes of a breaking bad episode at 1.5x speed didn’t even realize it was like damn these dudes are hauling ass today" and a second reply saying "same but opposite energy" with another Twitter screenshot saying "Better Call Saul is so good that I...

Watching at 1.5x for 30 minutes without realizing... How high was this person? It's either that, or brain damage; there's really no other explanation.

People have taken the line "violence is not the answer" to the extreme. It is true that violence is rarely the answer. However, there are times when violence is the only answer, because words will literally never work.

Thank you for expressing my sentiment in a much more articulate (and concise) manner.
