    Yeah, I'm pretty sure the almost universal reaction to this story is shock that Detroit has any BnBs to begin with.

    I'm a huge nostalgia nut, so I loved how they went out of their way to make it look like a burned-out, abandoned Victorian home. The actors pretending to be crackheads really added to the flavor too. 5 stars!

    I loved how our room came stocked with an ample supply of ammo and bandages. Will definitely recommend to friends!

    The service was top-notch. The owners went out of their way to stay with me at the hospital after I drank some water straight out of the tap.

    Alternatively, you can just accept that the show ended, treasure the one season we got, and console yourself with the fact that it could have ended up just meandering for several seasons past its prime.

    Ask yourself this. Would you have lamented The Simpsons getting cancelled in 1998, if you had known then what you know now?

    Either way, comic books, novels, videogames, etc. are no substitute for the real thing. Just let it go, man.

    In other news, England and the U.S. go back to war following the discovery that the treaty that ended the War of 1812 contained a quotation mark followed by a period instead of the other way around. President Trump was quick to respond. "This perceived insult to the American quotation mark protocol will not stand!" British Prime Minister Teresa May also issued a response. "If war is necessary to defend our quotations, then so be it".

  6. YouTube isn't the only source of income. There is Patreon and Hatreon,

    Well, I'm pretty sure no mainstream conservative or classic liberal wants to be associated with a site calling itself "Hatreon." And sadly, Patreon (being a Silicon Valley company) is also subject to the same pressure from the radical left that infects companies like Google, Facebook, et. al. Patreon has already begun banning a number of conservatives (like Lauren Southern, for example), and all indications are that this is only going to accelerate as the 2020 election approaches. It could very easily get to the point where pretty much every conservative voice is blacklisted across almost the entire internet as we know it.

    It's part of the weakness of letting so many large left-coast/urban-elite companies basically have a monopoly on the mainstream internet. Conservatives need to start founding and funding more large-scale startups of their own in areas outside of Silicon Valley and Seattle to offer a counter-point and an alternative place for blacklisted voices and viewpoints. Otherwise, they could come to the harsh realization very soon that there are basically no mainstream internet platforms left for conservative (or even classic liberal) speech.

    Neo-puritan SJW authoritarians are DEFINITELY NOT liberals. So far as I can tell they are dead set against free speech, tolerance, individuality, and pretty much everything else that liberals favor.

    Sadly, such classic liberals are no longer welcome on the left in general, or the Democratic Party in particular, anymore. I am a classic liberal myself, and I didn't leave behind the Democratic Party so much as it left me behind. It saddens me deeply to see a party that once stood for free speech and true equality slowly morph into a party of authoritarian thought police and anti-white/anti-male bigotry.

    LOL, you just keep burying your head in the sand, Ami. Keep pretending that all SJW's want is equality, and that they aren't turning white men into the new "dirty jews". Keep telling yourself that even as they turn every popular culture depiction of the straight white male into either a fool or villain (the same way they did with the "dirty jews" in literature at the time). Keep telling yourself that as more and more SJW-infested companies stop hiring white men (hey maybe they'll give a few token spots to gay white men, hurray!). Keep telling yourself that as white men become a smaller and smaller minority in colleges, the professional fields, government leadership positions, etc. Shit, you can even keep telling yourself that when they start to strip white men of their voting rights and start sending them off to reeducation camps. Hell, by then it won't really matter anyway, will it?

    On the upside, you could always throw on a wig, cut off your dick, and proclaim yourself a woman. Then you can get hired again! Yay!
