    There's a systemic "meh, push 'em through" attitude that's gross and does a horrible disservice to the students, their education, and any chance they have at advancing in their careers.

    One of the main reasons our educational system is a joke in this country. I watch videos on Facebook of how students in, say, Japan attend school and I just marvel at how many light years away we are from even approaching that level of quality.

  5. The Legend of Korra

    in Cartoons

    I've finally watched the first three seasons and I'm beyond impressed. I think I might actually like Korra more than Avatar: TLA, which is saying a HELL of a lot.

    I can sum up Season 3 in one phrase:

    "Suyin wins. FATALITY."

  6. Transformers 5 and Beyond

    This thing is getting DESTROYED by critics.  And even the "positive" reviews I've seen have largely been full of underhanded "complements" to the insanity and incomprehensible plot.

    God, this makes me so happy.  I almost WANT to see this now because it seems a majority of people are finally seeing how abhorrent this fucking series is.

    I bet it will be a prequel outlining how a 20-year-old John Kramer was wronged by his engineering teacher and that's why he began building elaborate traps.

    Oh, god, so he's Hitler in the 21st century.

    Actually...that kind of fits...

  9. RIP Chris Cornell

    I'm devastated by this one. Even moreso because I had the chance to see Soundgarden two weeks ago and I didn't go. I'll regret that until the day I die. RIP to maybe my favorite songwriter and vocalist ever.
