quote [ In the following political test, you're asked about your attitude concerning different political topics. You will have to rate statements by fully agreeing, agreeing in part, being neutral, disagreeing or strongly disagreeing. You may emphasize up to five statements, if a certain issue is extremely important to you. After finishing the test, you'll get a detailed evaluation of your test and can compare it with the results of other participants. ]
I always found the old standard Political Compass to be kind of limited in how it displays results, as well as lacking the option to give 'no opinion'.

quote [ Many news outlets covered Univision Communications’ purchase last week of a stake in The Onion, the world’s leading news publication. According to NPR, Univision bought a 40 percent controlling interest in the company, and also acquired the option to buy the remainder of The Onion in the future.
But what’s gotten no attention at all is that Haim Saban, Hillary Clinton’s biggest fan and financial supporter, is Univision’s co-owner and chairman. ] I have faith that avid Onion readers will be able to see through this blatant ploy.

quote [ Donald J. Trump and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont harnessed working-class fury on Tuesday to surge to commanding victories in a New Hampshire primary that drew a huge turnout across the state.
The success by two outsider candidates dealt a remarkable rebuke to the political establishment, and all but guaranteed protracted, bruising races for each party’s presidential nomination. ] And by wide margins, too. Looks like people are voicing their dissatisfaction with the political status quo by firmly siding with the anti-establishment candidates.
With any luck this could be the herald to the end of the two-party system if they can both secure the nomination. At the very least the late-night talk show circuit will be very interesting for quite some time.

quote [ People at one time did not have the privilege of seeing a famous rapper debate a famous astrophysicist about whether the earth was flat. We are deprived no more.
Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., a Grammy-nominated rapper-singer better known as B.o.B, released a “diss track” on Monday aimed at the noted astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson after the two had argued on Twitter about the shape of the planet. ] Well, at least there isn't a risk to public health and the long term viability of human civilization like there is with the anti-vaxers or climate change deniers. Still, the fucking shape of the planet should be completely unambiguous. And for the life of me I can't even imagine what possible benefit there could even be to a global conspiracy to foist a round Earth model.

quote [ The Super 88 is so pent up, mechanically and aesthetically, it's the perfect representation of 1950's American sexual frustration. ]
This guy has been doing a weekly Plinket-esque review of cars and car culture for quite a while. Great stuff, I was never really a car guy but I've been digging the hell out of these. My mind goes blank when he starts to talk about horsepower and torque and all that technical malarkey, though.

Why didn't anyone tell me excavation kits are a thing?

quote [ Nick Jensen, who posed with his wife Sarah on the cover of the latest issue of Canberra CityNews, writes of the Christian couple?s decision to end their marriage under the headline, ?Gay law change may force us to divorce?.
...Mr Jensen goes on to explain the divorce plan, where the pair will continue to live together, have more kids, and refer to each other as husband and wife, but will legally end their marriage because they believe ?marriage is not a human invention?. ] This had got to be the most bizarre protest of gay marriage I have ever seen.
Also, he uses the word 'organic' to describe how rigged and unchanging god's definition of marriage is. Or have I been had, and this is the Australian version of The Onion?

quote [ "I think it's probably because niceness doesn't really happen to much around here. So it feels odd when niceness does happen. And it feels so odd that it's unnatural, maybe even wrong. Maybe being nice here in Moralton feels dirty." ]
An episode was written and scrapped because they had less episodes ordered by Adult Swim for the final season than they were expecting, so they animated it themselves for the hell of it. Starts off taking place concurrently with the season 2 episode "Offensiveness" but ends "the next Halloween" after Orel has become disillusioned with the rampant hypocrisy going on in their town.

quote [ ... ]
So who else here is a grown-ass adult who still indulges in cartoons meant for 10-13 year olds?
Marked NSFW for Adult Swim and crazy anime stuff, too.
