In 1st year psych in Australia we learn that psychology is “culture blind and culture bound” that is, largely dominated by a middle class western, US and European mentality. Indigenous psychology is a a first year requirement and at every step, you’re asked to consider how basic stuff like Piaget’s cognitive…

Which is why you have MRA’s bitching about how having a feminist Max shits all over the originals manly all-American values. I’m not even kidding. That’s an argument I’ve read.

I wish I could just pre-star all your comments.

So if a male flight attendant refused to serve women because of his religion, that would be ok?

I am so glad we’re going into spring in Australia where these abominations would get zero play due to the immanent heat death of anyone wearing that much cord.

Given that we’re talking about goddamn motion pictures, I think everyone here is fairly clear that he wasn’t referencing the Renaissance. Daily life must be so difficult for you given that context seems to play no part in your understanding of the world.

We call those Zooper Dupers in Australia and they all have space related flavour names. I can eat about 20 in one sitting

We did 1984, A Streetcar Named Desire, Jane Eyre and Hamlet all in one year. That was a pretty depressing year.

Cool would also be knowing that France hasn’t lost every major conflict and that the country has existed a lot longer than just the last hundred years.

I found people much easier than animals too. People donate their bodies at the end of their lives. They’re not specifically killed so students can tinker with their insides. I guess that’s why it’s easier.

I wish Kafka was still around to write a short story about Chris Brown

According to that Russian guy, dolphins are natures vaccine. They cure Down Syndrome!

6 month old babies walking! Even though the inner ear isn’t fully developed at that age so they have no equilibrium! The power of dolphins...

Maybe sea births will help thin the gene pool?

This! My 24 year old super fit, super healthy sister had a text book perfect pregnancy, which she intended to have drug free in a hospital and she ended up having an emergency c-section because she just wouldn’t dialate enough. These hippies get so caught up in how natural the process is without seeming to remember…

I see what you’re saying, but who creates your idea of “perfect”? And why is there so little variation in what “perfect” is?

Sinister. From the first shot with the grainy super 8 film of the family slowing hanging, I was shitting myself.

Yeah I suffer from sleep paralysis and if I didn’t know the neurological cause of it, I would assume I was being haunted. It is fucking terrifying and truly feels like I’m awake and experiencing stuff my brain is rationally telling CAN NOT BE HAPPENING. Any time someone’s ghost story involves them waking up in the…

I think it’s Bonnie and Clyde syndrome. That is a real actual thing by the way.

Female dogs tend to treat small children as pups anyway. I was warned when I adopted my girl that they can get a little nippy with kids who’re being rough as they see them as pups to correct and not like boy dogs who see them as fellow litter mates to play with. I can easily believe that one of the reasons this kid…
