That show is mostly about cheesy drama and cringe. Don't get me wrong, I watched all of it, but I never would have watched it if my roommates didn't.

But there are really funny parts, but those honestly end up being inside jokes, meaning you have to get to know the characters.

I was the same way with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I had the TV on in the background and it was on FX, just programming, and the episode where Dee and Dennis get addicted to crack to get on welfare was on.

Until then, I hated that show and couldn't get the hype.

(on a side note, that show went to shit by season 7... so it goes)

But I digress: once you learn the characters (and starting at season 1 is rough because the characters aren't really developed yet) the Office becomes much more entertaining.

    One that seems to be new to a lot of people: sardonic or sardonism. It is kind of like sarcasm or facetiousness, but darker. The definition is grimfully mocking.

    "I was just being sarcastic. Don't be so defensive and serious."

    "I was being sardonic. Did you take offense to that? Good."

    They are conservative. Do you know what the word means, or are you just drinking the flavor-aid?

    Did you know you can be liberal AND conservative? Stop pushing the narrative.

    And no fucking way is the republican party conservative, and neither party is remotely liberal.

    Nah, it was Digg's update to their UI. I remember, because when that happened, the user base jumped from 32k to 500k, and it only got worse. In just a weekend, it went from great to fucking shit.

    What I think is funny about Reddit is that its content was intellectual and there were no memes. That's because the founders were the ones making the posts using different accounts.

    They were trying to drive traffic while also setting a tone. Digg updated their site and WOOOSH, became flooded with memes and trolls, and then, because the medium became so popular, here comes the bots and executives making REALLY shitty decisions.

    And now it is dead.

    He isn't conservative. Typical voter: doesn't even know what words mean any longer because of propaganda.

    The national debt is skyrocketing... how is that conservation? "But you know what I mean..." I know what you have been told to say.

    Right! This! I suffered back pain when I was twenty. Dude, I can touch my toes, in fact, the floor.

    I arm wrestled a 27 year old who bragged about how I was old and weak.

    He tore his rotator cuff trying to prove it.

    I think kids don't understand aging. They better get their heads wrapped around it or they will simply become the stereotypes they are mocking.

    Kids are fucking stupid, and that's why we have idiot adults.

    Yeah man, I was a junior back then. But I think my airgapped system at home is fine.

    Now I am a systems maintenance manager and these exploits being discovered have kept me quite busy.

    So yeah, again, we were talking about a story from 20 years ago. A couple of things have changed since then.

    My airgapped system? What are they going to do? Get at my music library? They should go after my NAS, not my home theater.

    And I am such a dork that I bought a 70' tv and the first thing I did was destroy its wifi capabilities. Now I am past its warranty, and everyone is like, "you mean my TV has been spying on me?"

    My friends said I was an idiot and paranoid. Well, who doesn't know who is laughing now? Google.

    It wasn't that bad. And I had two routers for failover. That was the failover router; I just wanted to be an asshole towards the douchebag who has a wife at home with a newborn baby, who hit on women 15 years younger than him constantly.

    So I b-lined to the machine that I knew would have the longest uptime.
