"''"Padme, your boyfriend whom you've known for about 2 weeks by this point came home and ranted for a solid minute about how he savagely murdered a whole bunch of people, women and children included. Deary, this is the part where you pack your bags and quietly leave. ""

- Vladimir Putin (translated), Putin's 15 years: A presidential retrospective (RT)

""The most pressing analogy I hold to heart is how Britain stands with mouth a-gawp as it gets progressively fatter and iller, yet remains defiantly opposed to designing streets that people feel safe to ride bicycles on, and continues to let its populated areas be designed in the image of nutritionally-vacuous, big-brand food and drink. As waistlines expand, obesity becomes 'normalised', and solutions drift further and further outside society's collective imagination.""

""The NFL, Price is Right, WWE, most major TV networks across the nation are "going pink" to "spread awareness." Horseshit. You give no fucks about helping victims of breast cancer, you just make it seem like you do. You go pink for October, and then...NOTHING. Not a single mention of it until the following year. All you give a fuck about is how your company is viewed. You want to be "hip" and "cool." You're not. Ironically, by saying you care for a while, and then not care for the rest of the time, shows you really don't care at all. You'd be better off not taking a stance on it at all.""

"''"My five-year-old son just got a trophy for soccer. I was as pleased as any father could be, and I pulled him on my lap, and praised him. Then I figured out everyone got a trophy. All my praise turned to lies in my mouth. I could not unsay what I had just said to a five-year-old. I could not tell him that this trophy was meaningless.

''I could not tell him to try his best, either, because the reward was the same for his best as for his worst.

''My other son quit the team before the season ended, and the coach wanted to give him a trophy in any case. I was revolted by the idea, deeply offended.

''They are trying to make my sons into little, weak, selfish, puling nonentities: boys who will cry if they do not get the same reward for hard work as for goofing off. Boys who will grow up to think life is unfair unless they are handed everything they never earned on a silver platter. I cannot regard this attempt with anything but a deep mistrust, bordering on hatred. Who are these people, and what do they have against my boys? Why are they trying to spoil them?""

""[Changes in modern media, compared to old works, make] the story reflect the sensibilities of a modern audience. Fiction is [a] product of culture, and culture is a product of circumstance. Our circumstances now are not the same as they were in classical times, so neither is our culture and neither is our fiction.""

- MrBtongue, Tasteful, Understated Nerdrage: Genre vs. Literature

""''[...] [H]old managers accountable for mismanagement. Any manager who leads his team into a death march has failed his employees, his superiors, and his company's investors. He has not done the job he was hired to do, which is to deploy the company's resources intelligently and profitably. We've all been to those triumphant post-ship meetings where these so-called "leaders" got big praise and a bigger bonus check as a reward for wreaking havoc on the health and personal lives of their employees. That's a perverse feedback loop, which perpetuates an abusive system. Any manager who put her team through more than a month of pre-ship crunch to get the product out the door should be getting a pink slip, not a promotion.""

- Evan Robinson, It's Not Just Abusive, It's Stupid

""''[...] I'm a little flabbergasted by the existence of [the New 2015 Macbook]. And being real, that is partly because I know someone who I tried to convince not to buy this. "It doesn't make any sense," I said to them. ''...And they bought it anyway. ...And it hurts my heart.""

"''"[...] [Compare the Bill Cosby rape allegations] to the Michael Jackson molestation accusations. You remember all the famous friends who came out in droves to defend Michael Jackson? Well, for one of America's most beloved entertainers, it's odd that there aren't a whole lot of people rushing to Cosby's defense. Not even those who defended him back [in a court case] in 2005.""

"''"Kafkaesque doesn't even begin to describe how fucked up this is. Those poor kids are going to have their lives ruined because some fuckwad at the police station decided that was the only charge they could stick on them.
