""''[...] [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.""

""By the way, did you hear from an unnamed source, from another unnamed source, from a third unnamed source that's really close to the project that Deadpool is going to be in Logan, that Power Rangers are going to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Fast and Furious is going to crossover with Transformers? It's true! I read it on a blog, it has to be true! What, you mean to tell me that an unofficial news source would make up an entire story just for me to click on their website that's filled with advertisements? That's insane!

"''"I can understand the sentiment of getting upset with the overuse of the "something bad happens to a female character to motivate love interest/father/brother/friend to act" trope, but it's the freaking Killing Joke. Joker doesn't shoot Barbara because she was Batgirl, he shot her because she was Gordon's daughter. He didn't strip her and take photographs to be a perv, it was all meant to try and break the commissioner. To show Batman that the only thing that separates sanity from the Joker is one bad day.

It wasn't like she was stuffed in a fridge or the various other ways female characters have been killed over the years (Ultimate Wasp being eaten!?), and it's not like The Killing Joke was the end of the character. DC took her and remade her into Oracle, showing she could be awesome in spite of her disability to the point there are people pissed her disability was fixed in the New 52. And it allowed other female characters to replace her as Batgirl, some of which have pretty devoted followings.""

"''"This [The SEGA Mega Classics Hub] reminds me of some of the things Sega did that helped the Genesis become big (situations where they decided to collaborate rather than fight). Sega partnered with Blockbuster to promote renting Genesis games and consoles, while Nintendo was fighting Blockbuster in court to ban or limit rentals (which allowed many Americans to tryout the console). ''EA had programmers crack the Genesis cartridge lockout in order to publish games more freely, and rather than taking EA to court, Sega negotiated with them a different licensing deal (which would lead to EA Sports games becoming system sellers for the Genesis). Nintendo spent years fighting Tengen in court when they did something similar. ''While Nintendo was mostly against videogame ratings systems and censored their games in response to political pressure, Sega was willing promote videogame ratings and created their own rating system, which eventually led to the industry standard rating system we have today."

"lets be honest. vaporwave is only a concept. a stupid gimmick. how long can you go with the same fucking gimmick? [...] even vektroid said it was a joke. we took the joke with passion because it was an interesting idea. it was more than chopped and screwed slowed down songs. it had atmosphere and image. but the progress made is going back to being a joke. maybe it always was."

"[...] [Christian Weston Chandler] is arguably one of the most well documented people in human history. His entire life is on the internet from his childhood up until today, and we fill in more of the blank spots all the time. Imagine googling your name and seeing that. Imagine embarrassing photos you took ending up on fucking TV and shit. Imagine being followed and harassed relentlessly by a bunch of weens. Imagine every time you meet somebody you find out they were actually fucking with you and don't actually like you. For 10 goddamn years. That would do a number on anybody's mental health, never mind a guy who wasn't all that healthy to begin with."

""[...] I see more and more new age leftards use [ Idiocracy ]  as one of their biggest arguing points against Trump, his supporters or anyone that disagrees with them "You see this movie?! THIS IS OUR REALITY NOW!" while being completely unaware of how the setting is more inline with their views and modern lifestyles. A hedonistic wasteland obsessed with consumerism, sex, media and celebrities that has an unhealthy loyalty towards companies and brands and loves the idea of being ruled over by them. These fucking people are so oblivious to the nature of the world within the film it's honestly shameful.""

""Alzheimer's is the ultimate pirate, pillaging a person's life and leaving an empty landscape behind. It sweepe up entire families, forcing everyone to claw their way through overwhelming grief, confusion, helplessness, and anger. Perhaps for your comedy you would like to visit some dementia facilities. I have — I didn’t find anything comedic there, and my hope would be that if you’re a decent human being, you wouldn’t either."'"

- Patti Davis, daughter of the late Ronald Reagan, An Open Letter to Will Ferrell (via The Daily Beast)

""In an internet-centric world, an age of diminished returns where millions live their lives as if they’re dealing with undiagnosed cases of agoraphobia, Bruce Springsteen is an anachronism. Experiencing life, romance, and many of the other things he used to sing about requires disconnecting from the grid, leaving the house or your local java emporium/internet cafe, and feeling the wind in your face, the pavement under your wheels, and a swelling in your heart. You just can’t get that from MySpace or YouTube, even with a vivid imagination and enough Class 1 narcotics to stagger a Clydesdale.""

"Kenji: So uh... how is that practical again? Kyo: What do you mean? Kenji: Well, [Rose's] armor seemed kind of- Michelle: It isn't meant to be armor. It's a type of flexible attire that can bend and morph itself to match your body's current shape. She just happened to design it after a suit of armor. Trust me, I find it to be just as ridiculous as you do."
