What is the appeal of Jennifer Aniston? She's a moderately pleasant looking person, and I suppose she's as talented as any other successful comedic actress. Why are the tabloids so breathlessly interested in her?
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
She has a really good publicist?

Customer was just told he'll have to redo several hours of work because his file crashed. "I don't have time to make copies and backups of things! Make your programs reliable!" I'm afraid I said, "well, unfortunately, you'll now need to take the time to time to recreate the work." I know better than engaging like that, but, damn, dude.
He was quite annoyed that I suggested his predicament might be in any way his fault.

This at least gives me some hope that the public knows who to blame in this shutdown SNAFU, and may do so come the midterm elections: [link]

Thrive to spite them
Because Angelina Jolie ruined her "perfect" marriage with Brad Pitt.
And she's been single and childless since then, which makes her, the LOSER but she's such a NICE GIRL! And bitchy slutty weirdo Jolie got the Man, The Kids, and...not a marriage but damn close to it!
And Ainston is just...alone. And secretly holding her pain as she pines a way for 1) a reunion with Brad, 2) kids, 3) a combo of 1 and 2, 4) a new love who will give her kids and SUPER AWESOME wedding so she can have VINDICATION over Jolie and finally prove she IS better than the skank who ruined her DREAM LIFE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my last brief sojourn in support most people were within what I consider normal parameters of confused and upset, and one guy was "I have an audit on Monday and I didn't try logging into your system until Thursday despite the due date for doing so having been three months ago! Why are you escalating my case instead of helping me immediately???"
I felt bad for the person who ended up with the case.
And then I got him again the next day, as my final case.

^^ What askye said. I think she has a surprising amount of that still pushing her rep.

Oh, yeah, America's Sweetheart heartbroken by the exotic beauty who lured Her Man away. Unfortunately, Her Man is ecstatic with the exotic beauty who loves kids as much as he does. So while Brad and Angelina are the poster parents of Celebrity Parenthood, Jennifer looks more and more like "Oh God, I Must Have a Man!"

Is there any point in posting a Snopes link on the FB of a family friend, pointing out that her copy-pasted screed against Obamacare isn't actually factual?
I know the answer is "No", but I had to ask.
I tend to Snopes people like that with a "That's pretty scary stuff. Fortunately, its not completely accurate..." and THEN I Snopes 'em.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
