The idea that someone like Richard Sherman becomes a national villain for being rude to other players and guys who have ACTUALLY COMMITTED SERIOUS CRIMES WITH VICTIMS become redemption stories is so goddamn ridiculous.
Before it was christened with a proper name by the media in order to create a "trend" and category to dissect and discuss, it was simply the idea that many young people simply do not feel a need to all-out wear costumes and labels in order to silently display their originality and uniqueness (see Lady Gaga). It's…
it really is a pretty perfect reply
Well, she's comparing foods from religions, saying that peeps are cool or hipster and matzah is anti-cool or hipster. It's sort of an absurd argument, since cool and uncool are identical but just not co-existing. Does that make sense? What is hipster on one level is normcore on another level or at a different time or…
Really? We're like, on the internet right now! The style of clothing that one would expect to see worn by middle-aged Michigan school teachers dining in a strip mall Olive Garden on any random tuesday, when worn ironically by rich coastal hipsters becomes "normcore".

I just haven't had the right opportunity with the right person, when I've been in the right frame of mind, and I'm not willing to have sex…
Colin Farrell is a distinguished actor? Have you seen Alexander?

"Shouting down"? I've been completely reasonable, what is with you and captain_spleen reading a completely normal comment as shouting and authoritarian? No one is shouting here, except captain_spleen replying to me.
I'm not making up comments. You said:
"People are saying she maybe should have expected the old dude might expect extras - and turned it down."
^No, this is absurd. Why should she expect to be sexually assaulted because she's being paid to be a celebrity guest? The fact that people are blaming her for the incident and saying she should not have been there…
