What’s amusing is that there’s urban legend that Paul died in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike.

It’s so reassuring.

I was never not done with that universe, Harry Potter’s world simply never appealed to me. But I’d find it really sad if someone who was into it, and “not done” with it would sever it from their mental world because of Rowlings’ backward opinions on gender. It’s a thing that disturbs me a bit, how one negative aspect,…

i was done when she revealed that wizards poop on the floor and just magic it away. it was a real ‘huh, now that you mention it, harry potter is actually trash that i don’t want’ moment

Nooooooo don’t let people know how good chicken thighs are.  They won’t be cheap any more :(

The solution to systemic and subconscious bias isn’t to shield individual bad actors from criticism because they’re minorities. That just feeds into the model minority expectation and places an unfair demand on black people that they have to be perfect all the time.

Thanks! This was a planned surgery to eliminate seizures. So far it is working great!

The other types aren’t really eaten as an everyday staple. They are more like specific specific side dishes served at a meal.

I’m American and our national love of everything Ranch-flavored mystifies and disgusts me.

Oh good, can we once again have people who will gladly eat a KFC double down and think Taco Bell is edible by humans now give their opinion on deep dish pizza again? I enjoy that discussion so much. Maybe we can also discuss why an opinion on the The Last Jedi can only be a political statement, too?

What, you don’t love the Dark Metal universe and the decision to go from “a Batman multiversal crossover” to “holy shit, we need the Batman Who Laughs in every single possible everything because people like it?”

Ugh. DC is just aces at giving people shit that no one asked for.

Pizza Hut had a great buffet. At least 4 different types of pizza plus the salad bar and dessert pizza. And once I got in college, I learned the secret trick to college living. Take a gallon ziploc bag in your back pack and alternate eating what you selected from the buffet or storing for later consumption. Also,…

Not exactly on-topic, but man I’m gonna miss Souplantation.

I would seek out the D&D episode.  Its really one of the best of the show.  Shame it got pulled

Wait, I must not be remembering something accurately. Was the point that Chang’s decision was wrong and that he’s a terrible person? Shirley’s comment which was along the lines of, “Are we just going to ignore the hate crime?” (not the exact quote and I apologize) seemed to be a quick line to get the laugh and not the…

Context, yes, people lose sight of that. Chang was a fucking elf, just putting on black or dark make up in itself isn’t racist. Its something with humor that people get a bug in their ass saying something is racist, but all the either shit like violence, etc is just part of entertainment and not taking as offensive. I…

Yeah that one was also ridiculous. He’s called out for it, he’s established as a crazy person already, and it’s not even blackface. He’s cosplaying a fictional fantasy creature.

Its getting stupid.  Its like losing the D&D Community episode because Chang black faces as a dark elf.  Which is clearly shown to be wrong and that he is a terrible person for it.    Context is key on this sorta thing

Serious question: Who are the people who actually consume this stuff, by which I mean, who is the product-buying audience the brands believe these people can sell to? Are there really that many people addicted to these fake lifestyles?*
