“But they look white” is the weakest argument I’ve heard against an indigenous person’s heritage. Good lord.

Great but the real discussion here should be Donny’s racist language.

It’s a battle between the notoriously misogynistic, predator-shielding Catholic church and their slut-shaming morals. And Katy Perry. I’m learning that nuns can be both marginalized and assholes. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I expected to be with the nuns on this, and on some level I am, but I find their reasoning thoroughly unsympathetic.

Nuns. Smacking the shit out of little kids since the beginning of time.

my wife is a stickler for NOT using a mixing bowl (large stainless steel) that has had any sort of meat oil/fat in it; she has a special one that pretty much only touches veggies/salt water

Yeah. The sarcasm was missed by you. 😄

Kimchi refrigerators aren’t uncommon at all! They often have settings you can choose from to help ferment the kimchi; it isn’t exactly to keep the smell out or anything like that. Also, some kimchi isn’t made with anchovies, so it might be a good idea to just look through the ingredients list; for instance, I’m fairly…

Well to be fair to all the bible thumping rubes, Obama was exceedingly black.

And they’re free to do that. Youtube, however, as a private company, has no obligation to provide the means for them to do it. It’s their house, they set the rules, if you don’t like it you can host your shit somewhere else.

Why must you be that guy though? First of all, it isn’t a zero sum game y’know? Secondly, the idea that this money would have otherwise been diverted to the issues you mention isn’t plausible. But to play along with the assumption here. Let us say that the $42M has disappeared from the system. Somehow, it is unusable.…

Like lots of technologically driven silliness, this one has created lots and lots of jobs. These kinds of projects are good for everyone, including the communities that help support them.

The woman is in the home stretch of yet another difficult pregnancy, and is under pressure to produce, as a royal baby-maker. I can see why, even though Time’s Up shouldn’t be political, she wants to find some middle ground and avoid making any waves, either way. People perceive the movement as political, and she’s…

She’s not allowed to make political statements. William is president of Bafta. Why should she sit out? Can we stop vilifying women who aren’t doing Times Up well enough?

To each their own. Personally, I loved it. Does it give Lorca’s behaviour a cop out? Probably. Did they hang a lantern on the twist? Absolutely not.

IWait... maybe this is a memory from another timeline, but i thought KT left io9 some time ago, which I assumed was from a desire to never see another episode of Discovery ever again.

Seriously, can someone less emotional and maybe a little more objective start reviewing Discovery? You know, someone who can actually discuss pros and cons of an episode without having a meltdown? Maybe a review like this - https://www.avclub.com/burnham-meets-the-emperor-and-discovery-finds-a-new-gro-1822278505

The recap mentions that Gilead’s currency is on the brink of collapse. Wars cost money. As for negotiating with Mexico... really? Mexico is the third largest traiding partner with this country now and our currency is strong.
