Its got the reputation, calling that reputation a meme is you going out of your way to use a term other than reputation. Whether or not its true is a separate thing.

True and succinct, although "destroyed" is excessive -- its still just as possible to enjoy undertale on its own.

R&m though really is a victim of its fanbase. I tried watching the fan favorite s3e01 with my dad, who has seen all of seasons 1 and 2, and he really couldnt follow the plot. It made me realize that I probably only liked it because I watched each episode of seasons 1 and 2 at least twice (the dvd commentary is great). I'm just going to skip watching the council of ricks episode from season 3 with him, it's really self indulgent.

Yep. They also don't know what to do with him now that his character is, by their own admission, "some kind of fucked up God."

This season was originally going to have four more episodes that would address this but Harmon and Roiland didn't know how to resolve it properly. They admitted that the final episode was originally an arbitrary one which they "finale-ized" to wrap up the season.

Yeah I think little has changed in SV in the last year compared to the near 180 in public opinion. My theory is that journalists and readers who used to hate trump as a hobby are bored with the lack of scandal and have turned to SV, the only other interesting new thing in the us.

It would be funny if the distinction between politics and history was explicitly whether the subjects' life was over. Id love to pedantically say to someone "osama bin laden is part of history now, not politics"

I just came back to sf after a 3 month trip and I have no clue how I ever got used to it. I took my parents to a cafe that sold $4 nitro cold brew and we couldn't sit outside because the smell of homeless people's shit from across the street was too strong.

This author's article points out the unique aspect: you can see the expensive restaurants and the homeless inches away from one another. that's what makes it not just unjust but so aesthetically absurd as to be dystopian.

Its because its an excerpt from a book, I think. I totally agree, I'm on board with the point of the article but its written like an amateur Adam Curtis.

I agree but wish the article was better written. This is for a general audience address those readers dont need huge digressions into zucks well known personal life, nor the etymology of the term algorithm and hacker.

I like create react app a lot but i wish there was an easy way to add a second page. I tried doing this recently and found it was actually easier to implement react router with code splitting to avoid loading my main page's huge js file.
