Wouldn’t the feminine form of “auteur” be “auteuse” (like “masseur” and “masseuse”)?

Someone said upthread that they did.

Maybe they were feeding the dogs to the children. Or vice versa.

The house number is reminding me of something my grandfather used to say about living at an address with a five-digit house number, but I can’t remember what it was now....

Since when is a pattern of discrimination a prerequisite to all Title IX suits?

For there to be an actual anti-male bias, even if only in this respect, you’d have to have more guys get punished for rapes they didn’t commit than guys not get punished for the ones they do commit. The idea that this happens is fucking LOL.

Wow, project much?

Something doesn’t lose trade secret status just because the workers who make it know how it’s made either. (Seriously, if that was the law, how would trade secrets even exist?) The workers who know the trade secret just have to be subject to enforceable non-disclosure agreements and the company usually also must have…

Yes? A formula can still be a trade secret even if the finished product is made available for public sale so long as it isn’t feasible to reverse engineer the formula from the finished product. A lab could definitely tell you the chemical composition of the crust of a piece of KFC, but they wouldn’t necessarily be…

Are we sure that “Busch/Kahne incident” isn’t a typo for “Bush/Kanye incident”?

I wasn’t aware that people needed to actually have been personally sexually assaulted to “know that rape is a thing”.

Who hot takes the hot takers?

Not the Raiders? Am I behind on my football team stereotypes?

I salute you for trying this, but the results don’t seem that surprising — part of the reason it takes so long to caramelize onions on a stove top is the sheer amount of water in them, so a cooking method that traps the water with the onions seems doomed to fail. (That said, I could imagine employing sous vide for…

“Reverse” or just a more effective defense by the blind person? Although this film apparently wants us to sympathize with the victims, they’re still criminals planning on victimizing a disabled person, and they are arguably worse than the criminals in Wait Until Dark since the ones are specifically planning on robbing…

I would generally agree that theft shouldn’t be punished by death, but I would also argue that for a blind person deadly force would often be their only realistic means of self-defense, given that by nature of their disability it would be much more difficult for them to determine (a) if an attacker is sufficiently…

Glacier in the top 5 but not top 3?

I have a jar of these leaves sitting on my pantry shelf....
