She’s apparently not a good actress? Or wooden?

Hey, wait, I LIKE Nathalie Portman!

Why are we shitting on Natalie Portman all of a sudden? Is it because she said that relatively innocuous thing about not wanting her son to care too much about shiny gold things? Star Wars? It’s not her fault George Lucas turns all of his actors into cardboard cutouts. I love Natalie! Though I will admit romantic…

I can’t wait to get the feels so hard for a over-privileged woman.

Aronofsky? Natalie Portman? Loin girding? SIGN ME THE F UP!

“Sorta makes one yearn for the quiet days when Portman was hanging with her hottie dancer husband and recovering from gestating both her first Oscar and a child, doesn’t it?”

And this guy just wants to be blue....

Pretty much all major metropolitan areas are progressive, generally. I think it’s a symptom of being a metropolitan area more than something special that Texas metropolitans do.

Oh no, don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely gross and even beyond politicians our state has a lot of problems, but common Texas stereotypes don’t ring true for the most part in our state from what I’ve witnessed living here my entire life in both major cities and east Texas towns (besides the fact that we all love…

Not claiming that Texas is lacking in racists at all, but I’m surprised the state has the track record it’s credited with. Like yeah, we have Jasper and Vidor, but on the gawker list of poc killed by police from 1999 to 2014, Texas holds only four spots and two of the cops out of four were indicted: one for…

Not much. They may pass, but there's a notorious amount of shit never in effect because the Feds put the kibosh on it.

Like if people ever wondered what this country would look like if it became conservative republican across the board here it is. Minorities have to conform to a white christian majority. Subsidies are taken by the states government but it’s the poor who are called “leeches” & “getting a free ride”. Gays have to go…

Texas people/law people/politics people: what chances do these bills have of passing?

I mentioned on FB that the Texas GOP explicitly condemns homosexual people. People were straight up “NUH_UH!”

When you vote GOP, this is what you’re voting for.

I think gambling is one of the middle ones where it has manifestations of addiction from a social standpoint but it’s all dopamine and reward systems that are self instigated. I say that as a gambling ‘addict’ whose been bet free for a good amount of time now because I know how it spirals out of control when I get in…

Agreed. It drives me nuts how people say they are addicted to shopping, porn, video games. No, no you’re not. If you were, you would: Need more for the same level of arousal (, Go through withdrawal when you stop the thing, and have an actual change in the way your body works. None of this, “all dopamine is like…

I am addicted to coffee, I play Blood Bowl compulsively. One is motivated by physical dependence and the other, psychological/emotional itch scratching. At least that’s the distinction that I make. Sadly either one can really interfere with living the life you want to and in this case it’s neither here nor there…

There’s addiction and then there’s compulsion.
