When I was in Elementary school I always thought about what the Presidents did to get themselves in History Books.

Suddenly I'm reminded of that now with Trump. He's trying really hard to go down as the worst President in history so that he can be in the history books 15-20 years from now. That's the kind of legacy he wants to leave behind.

I'd go for Bernie but isn't he older than Trump? By the time 2020 rolls around I think he'll almost be 80... so that ship has sailed.

Huge fan of Gen 2 but yeah, I'm going with HeartGold/SoulSilver (even though that's technically Gen 4). It just felt the most complete out of every other game since they love to add and remove features left and right. But Gen 4 games like HG/SS and Platinum had almost everything you could ask for.

Parks and Rec is the only one of these shows I actually think is good.


That's promising..., I'm watching it through for the first time ever (up to season 5 now). I'm a big fan of the Office, but I'm wondering if Parks and Rec will be able to outdo it.


I'm almost done with Season 4 of Parks and Rec. So far, while it's a good show and most characters are likable (except Tom Haverford and Chris Traeger), I have yet to have laughed until I cried. So unless that happens down the line, I think it's looking like The Office takes the crown.

I just don't get the appeal of The Office, all the characters are unlikable
Try the UK version, that was pretty great imho.


I guess if you find them all unlikable there's no way you'll enjoy the show, that's for sure. I'll admit, sometimes Michael Scott is unlikable for me as well. But he makes up for it more often than not so I can let it slide. (I'm one of the few though that probably thought the show was better AFTER he left.)

As for the UK Office.. ugh, that show bored me to tears. But at least I know I gave it a shot and I know British comedy isn't for me.

30 Rock? It has its moments.

So if I have to rank it right now it's Office > Community > Parks and Rec > 30 Rock

There's a chance Parks and Rec gets ranked higher once I finish it but we'll see.

It's not just Reddit, it's the social media stuff like Facebook (where people are in their own groups and whatnot).

Less and less people visit forums in general. As I see the fall off from every forum I go... whether it's GameFAQs or sports teams I like. People like being in their own little bubble where people tend to agree with everything they say only. They don't want to argue or have a difference of opinion with people from message boards.

But yeah, that number is depressing and it's not going up anymore in the future that's for sure.

Before social media? sounds like hesa just a big baby.


Social media is irrelevant. The internet existed back then. Message boards like this one existed back then. There was tons and tons of hate.

Social media isn't the only place hate exists. Hate existed before social media, and it will exist after social media. Hate is eternal.


This.

I think with Twitter and whatnot these days, it's all about "social status". No matter how much people talk about bullying, it'll always exist especially when people can hide behind their computers or phones when doing so.

Contemplating suicide is silly though considering it wasn't his fault. The only problem is letting people get to you.

But like you said, all this "hatred" had been around long before Twitter and all the other nonsense. They just don't see it because they can't go to every message board in existence.

Sucks that you have to go through this. The simplest way to prevent this kind of thing is to give the person caught the death penalty. Yeah, I know.. it sounds extreme but this kind of BS thievery shouldn't exist.

I had that issue happen to me twice in the last 10+ years.

1) Debit card. This was way before I got my credit card, I had to buy gas and I was at an unfamiliar gas station one time. I stupidly used my Debit Card instead of Cash. Next thing I know the person who stole my information purchased $99 of gas 8 times in one day (All in different cities).

2) Credit card. I went to Pavilions/Vons one Saturday night. I frequent this store pretty often too and never had any issues. Well, one night I bought like $40 worth of groceries and then when I got to my car I realized I forgot to buy bread. So I went back in, bought bread and went to a different line for checkout. Used my card again. The next day, I suddenly see a $550 charge from a flight from LA to Dallas along with a $35 Uber ride.

You'd think tracking someone down who used that kind of information would be pretty simple right? Just put them in jail.. do SOMETHING. Not just a slap on the wrist.

This is why it keeps happening. It's an inconvenience for us whenever it happens.
