Exactly. It was just *so* unnecessary. He could have been British! Especially if you’re going to cast a guy famous for his voice as much as anything.

Holy shit... somebody who actually knows what they are talking about and not just spouting partisan nonsense. Bravo sir, bravo.

I’ve never been a huge fan of her music, but godDAMN can that woman sing. I will never stop appreciating her raw talent. Most of the time, the biggest pop stars are manufactured and not actually that talented or skilled - just attractive with good producers and a mild ability to sing/play. But man, she’s just freakin’…

Even though I greatly benefited from the smoking ban in my state, I agree that it should be up to the bar owner. However, the big issue before wasnt that the bars let people smoke, it is because NONE of them kept their smoke-eaters up to code. My family owns an HVAC business, and this was the number one reason for…

Just because of this, I bought one via the link. I’m not even a “leftist” or whatever that is. You’re just an asshole.

I never understood this until I moved to Japan. They have these (and the yellow tracks) everywhere, and it says quite clearly that this is for people who can’t see, and to please stand clear. It was one of those “ohhhhhhh” moments that makes you feel like an idiot, because it’s so obvious once it’s been pointed out.

Hah! I only clicked because I saw the gif and was like “that looks like Osaka!” Then I watched the video - I live right there! Totally going to Owl’s Nest now.

This is a fantastic metaphor that I will be stealing.

I always justified it that way as a kid. That ladder is rickety and slippery as hell, and it’s just solid concrete below. Nerts to that, I prefer the water.

How/Why is this so fascinating?! I watched and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. My method for this (which I have done and always will do) is to take the first jump, then worry about it midair. No hanging on the ledge looking down. That’s the worst.

“We may have reached a juncture where progress is measured by liberal white urgency”

Good for you! It’s hard to judge each position based on the candidate’s merits rather than the letter next to their name, but it’s worth it. It’s how we avoid this current shitstorm.

Criminally understarred comment. Here you go. +1

I agree, and I think that what most people are missing is that a large hunk of Trump voters are just Republicans. People blinded by partisanship that will vote for the literal devil if he’s wearing their party colors (and conservatives aren’t alone here - how many liberals do you know that have ever voted for a…

I agree about choosing to be part of a group when it suits you. However, I don’t think it’s fair to ask any broadly defined group to act as a monolith. Racists do this all the time (“why don’t black people blah blah bullshit blah #MAGA”).

Coming in late to this thread. I’m a white guy who considers himself a feminist, and I understand my limited view here. I will say that I’ve seen this firsthand, and it’s infuriating. Many otherwise intelligent white women will, upon some injustice, move themselves right to the front of the oppressed queue and assume…

That... sucks. I can’t understand your feelings, but I can empathize and say that nobody should have to feel afraid of being honest. Also, totally stealing the phrase “performative allyship” because that is just 100% accurate.

Nice. Going to see them on the 3rd. Should be fun!

So, to jump on an already loooong comment train: I think this one will be better for one simple reason - it’s not about Wolverine. It’s about Logan, and it’s a journey/road trip movie. Those other movies that focused on his stupid past just... don’t work. It’s all too silly. It’s like Vader - far more interesting when…
