The more common Comments have become, the lower my estimation of the human race.
Me too. I generally come out of a comments section thinking that people are selfish, petty, small-minded, and just plain mean.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The comments on the NYT can actually be enlightening!
Of course, they are moderated.
My local paper is a classic cesspit. Soooo many racists.

Same for the Guardian UK. Hell, AVClub has some great comments.
Newspaper comments seem to be particularly bad. There's a weird dynamic on SF Gate where the stories are all about life in San Francisco and the comments are all right wing conservatives from the suburbs.

How else will you realize you're living in a den of iniquity and that your souls are in peril if they didn't come in on their missions of salvation?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
People really need to stop questioning the overall rationale of the big project I've been working on for weeks. It's due Thursday! It's too late! Give me specific ideas of what to do, or stay out of it!
OK, I'm done.

Tonight I really need to try and list some large items for sale. So far all I've managed to list is books.

I got a container of coconut milk kefir at Whole Foods today. It's really good. I think I'm going to start using it in smoothies. (And, of course, I just saw a blog post about how to make it from coconut milk and kefir grains, which would probably be healthier than the commercial kind that has stabilizers added, but this is healthy enough for now. Sometime when I have actual free time and free space in my kitchen for it to ferment, then I'll make it homemade.)
