What a sad reply to a useful site! The all-capsness of "NO national parks, NO..." etc. presumes that this specific list of designations are necessary for a hike to have value. If you had only remembered the Appalachian Trail, mayb

It can be both. And, I know some animators who consider Disneyland to be something of a monument itself.

They are certainly similar, but if you're choosing Peanuts as your main example of a comic strip that reuses some standard formatting... you're forgetting that in addition to the art, there's also decades of character and wor

The word "them" has been used for centuries in cases where the writer may want to refer to a subject, or subjects, of no specific gender. I wonder why it's suddenly bothering you.

I suspect the person you are responding to is suggesting that these culture war issues are merely meant to distract from the real problem, which is wealth inequality. Many of the people worried about 'moral fabric' are fine with d

Your opinion isn't popular, but I agree with you. Taking just the first image as an example... this is a digital recreation/modification of a Saul Steinberg cover for the New Yorker originally done in 1976. This cover created a ex

That is interesting, although the originals are more convincing! Not least because (as you point out) the grain and blur of the original photos aren't matched.

This is exactly why Terry Gilliam named his production company Poo Poo Pictures. He liked the idea of studio executives having to ask their assistants "Did the Poo Poo memo come in yet?"

"E.T. is not green. I'm really surprised that this isn't a common complaint. We'll fix that as well." ET isn't green in the movie. Why would this be a common complaint?

72 out of around 128 million is about %0.005 which indeed does not seem like a lot.

This is a highly questionable list, and not only because it recommends 'Freakonomics' (I suggest listening to the 'If Books could Kill' podcast about this book - their analysis is really on point). In regards to the rest

The humor doesn't quite hit - it feels a little over-aggressive and not clever, but the details in the article are accurate and well organized.

KCRW out of Santa Monica is an extremely good station. But,like most, probably the exception that proves the rule.

The first endorsement on the page is by the notorious fraudster Deepak Chopra. Probably enough of a reason to avoid purchasing.

This really was peak marketing idiocy. I knew people who worked at Cartoon Network at the time. Jim Samples' disconnect and subsequent resignation reverberated down the ranks and tanked a lot of careers and projects. Who would think th

But only to a point, correct? Otherwise we end up in the current dialogue where flat earthers, moon landing deniers, and a large percentage of religious believers feel more platformed than ever. It's far too easy for the uninformed to

This must be a specific cultural thing. In my group of friends and family, generous offers like those used in the examples aren't seen as 'tacky'. They're just generous and speak to a spirit of wanting to share.

> And in the end - why is this a bad thing, to be distracted? If it’s in our nature in the first place? But is it indeed in our nature? That comment assumes: if a condition exists, then that condition is correct. But, for example, it&#x

Yep, not true at all. My solution has been to just stick to smaller/niche subreddits that appeal to my interests but stay rather small. And I can (anecdotally) say that the majority of them are apolitical.
