It’s not global. Hardly anyone outside the US knows who Hamilton is, let alone are creaming their jeans at the chance to watch him singing about some war that no one gives a shit about. Sorry, I’m sure it’s important to America but I wish people would stop equating “big in the US” with "big everywhere"

I think you must have to be American to have that kind of reaction because while the choreography and singing/rapping are obviously technically very good, I have no idea what they’re on about. I got the cast recording and couldn’t make it past song 2 without having to Wikipedia Alexander Hamilton.

Shit man, you better inform every guy who ever got a boner watching lesbian porn that there was no reason for it.

Good god, Republican is not a protected class. Neither is Democrat. If it’s ok for Fox and Drudge as private companies, to provide biased reporting that excludes the Democrat point of view, then it’s ok for Facebook to do the exact same thing. Don’t republicans want government out of business? I’ve never known a party…

People that play Devil’s Advocate because they think it makes them some kind of unique snowflake to argue a controversial opinion, don’t really have any business whining when people treat their insincerely held opinion as serious.

Why stray from the tried and true method of calling a woman unfuckable?

You think pregnancy and childbirth is just a walk in the park? First of all, it’s really expensive, so is the father going to pay all the costs for the womans pre-natal care, hospital bills and maternity clothes? Is the father going to monitor the woman 24 hours a day to make sure she’s not drinking or smoking or…

Congrats! You’re exactly who this article was written for, not women. Jia is a cool girl feminist who’s not like all those other feminists who’re just shrill harpies who get guys fired. She’s only offended by a guy literally threatening to rape her personally, unlike other feminists who just run around trying to get…

Nailed it. Jez wants quality commenters on par with sites like The Toast, but they don’t want to provide Toast quality content. That site is doing a great mix of high quality think pieces, essays, poetry and fiction, clever humour and satire, but alas, not very clickbaity. They emailed every registered commenter a…

No, she just had 14 years fighting to survive on Jakku.

Oh please, Luke went from a coddled farm boy who’d done nothing more than tool around shooting womp rats at the beginning of ANH and by the end he was a crack X-Wing pilot and using the force to land a torpedo in the death star which was million to one shot. That is way, way more unbelievable than Rey getting off a…

So Rey’s 14 years growing up alone on an inhospitable desert planet where you learn to fight and repair busted up mechanics or you die isn’t “believable” preparation for her characters skill set? Luke had his aunt and uncle, Anikin had his mother and then the Jedi. Rey had no one. The fact that she’s survived at all…

While intriguing, this presumes that Trump isn’t a self-aggrandising, pea-brained moron. Which he clearly is.

It’s really good to see a conservative actually be honest about their desire to implement Christian sharia law, even if they stop short of calling it that.

Why would soccer fans talk about the Mecca crush? Do you think the survivors of that would be talking about a stadium crush? People literally don’t have the capacity to care about everysinglething, so they care about the things that have relevance to their lives.

Oh you mean “Irish” in the American sense of having a relative three generations ago who was born in Ireland but not having ever been there or knowing anything about the country you claim to come from? My parents are literal Irish people born in Ireland, but I was born in Australia. Was I raised Irish? I seem to have…

When you have little kids, it stops just being about your physical health though. They don’t really care if their dad is a maudlin alcoholic or a fun drunk, they just know he’s out at the bar instead of hanging with them.

If it had a gusset they’re not pants. I used to work with a girl who wore tights to work as pants and the gusset looked like she a pad stuck to her crotch. Why the fuck would you do this?

They’re not leggings, they’re sheer pantyhose. Leggings remain unscathed!

Debriefing and exposure therapy is not a universal panacea for trauma victims. In fact, it can often exacerbate PTSD symptoms. They did extensive studies on this after 9/11 which concluded that most people cope with trauma just fine in their own time and using their own resources. Forcing people to relive memories…
