The Chinese don't hate animals, they're just callously indifferent towards them currently. Jez likes to pretend that every moral offense is equal in degree and kind, but the Chinese have no meaningful cultural framework in place for animal welfare or rights like the West does, the latter of which has had companion…
I once had to quit a job because what they were asking me to do amounted to fraud. Then again, while I wasn't in a great position to do so... I had some savings and I hated working there anyway. Good luck - it's a horrible position to be in :(
Got my degree in this field! The "Aryan invasion theory" has been thrown out by most scholars (except the occasional nutjobs), but remains a misconception in popular discourse. Archaeological evidence suggests that peoples from north-central Asia migrated to South Asia (modern-day India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc),…
That panda is a sadistic serial killer of the first degree.
I think that the names of the offspring are supposed to be (lame) word plays on the parents name?
No, you're not. I find it disgusting and will never watch it. I feel that way about most (like 99%) of reality tv though.
true, but you can say that about any job... Look at the people who use to work for enron, or hostess (before the comeback).
You're probably right.
I don't think it's body-shaming when the point is that it was an outward symptom of coke abuse - just one more sign in addition to everything else. I've known and worked with people like that; being crazy-eyed and rail-thin most certainly IS mentionable... and in cases like these, DOES mean that one is mentally…
I'm amazed that people think this was an accident. Sounds to me like a pretty calculated PR move to stay relevant and get paid. It's not like she has had the opportunity to gain any other profitable skills besides being pregnant and a mess on basic cable. Jenelle is just doing Jenelle.
For me, the most fucked up part was when her husband tried to make his 13-year-old and 9-year-old boys sign consent forms to give him power of the company. That's some soap opera tycoon madness right there. I hope they're doing well.
I want more articles like this. To be honest, I was a bit too tired to read all of it, but it seemed well-written, and not all "teehee, I'm snarky!" like Dirtbag/other stuff can be. It's amusing sometimes, but a lot of it is eyeroll-worthy.
Bright colors, uncontrollable violence, and terrible decision-making ability.
I totally agree with everything you said. Did no one else notice that literally everything throughout the series was handed to Korra on a silver platter? She didn't have to work for anything! I mean honestly, she didn't even defeat Amon. As I remember, they fought and she got her ass handed to her and he escaped. It's…
After watching season 1 and the first 5 episodes of season 2, I came to the realization that the problem with The Legend of Korra is Korra itself. She really isn't likeable at all and I found your post Demosthenes and completely agree with you. She really has no development and keeps on making the same mistakes over…
First off, I find it insulting that excuses are made for her bad behaviour because she's a girl. I fully understand the relationship dynamic from a woman's perspective (as that's only what I've ever seen) and still found her deliberate sabotage of Mako & Asami's relationship deplorable (in addition to her…
Korra didn't accept anything other than telling everyone she's the Avatar. She left her studies at the village to go see the excitng, big city against her teacher's wishes, she continually and willfully opposed every lesson her teacher gave (including destroying a thousand year old training tool because she sucked at…
I paid attention and still saw ZERO character growth with Korra throughout the season. She took as she pleased and bullied everyone. Flawed heroes are great but heroes need to possess virtues to offset those flaws as well and the only virtues Korra possessed were her special powers.
There's only one truly damning feature about "The Legend of Korra" that ruined the series for me: an unlike able protagonist.
