Good. I hope they ignore the company for 10 days just to twist the knife.

People who got taken advantage of with no resources to help themselves are getting help, that's a good thing. I'm not getting anything out of it, but someone else is, and my upper lip is stiff. Maybe you should consider that.

Or, if your cat is a fat, clever little shit, she will jam her paw in deep and then yank all the kibble out so she can binge on it and then barf on the carpet.

Can we please have a fucking literacy test for journalists before they're allowed to report on news?

Object-oriented programming is a meme, if you can't code it in HolyC you don't need it

Funny you should mention that, I found a particularly cringeworthy forum thread featuring child millenials lying about being badasses from back in 2005, and through the magic of Google Groups we can even laugh at sports fans' forgotten shit takes they posted to Usenet 40(!) years ago:

Here's five of my favorites, especially because most of them provide some character lore/development that enhances watching the movies:

The Corbomite Maneuver - Kirk's captaincy style
Amok Time - Spock lore
Journey to Babel - fun, ethical dilemma episode, introduces Sarek
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - moral lesson episode, introduces the self-destruct, and I've found that modern viewers are fascinated by the fact that racism has become alien and confusing to future humans
The Galileo Seven - character drama, features Spock making survival choices that weigh the needs of the many against the needs of the few

Also, we were were cringeworthy than they are now. I was there in the late '90s and the early 2000s. I remember the forum posts, the livejournal drama, the unfunny memes, the rise of MySpace. The Xanga sites alone were far more cringeworthy than Tumblr ever was, even if you ignore the underage nudes AND early 2000s fanfiction that people posted on their Xanga pages it was still worse. At least zoomers don't have emo hair and post about their angst in the form of shitty poetry with handles like xXx_darkbl4de_st0rmwind_xXx, and those of us born in the mid '80s through the early '90s cannot always say the same.

I hated George Steinbrenner at the time, but I'm sure he would have turned down all the tea in China rather than put an ad on the Yankees' pinstripes.
