Thought you were dead.

I dunno if he got an “insultingly light sentence”. He took the plea deal and got 6 months of probation. She didn’t and is looking at a max of 18 months jailtime. The difference between those two outcomes is partially because she’s more responsible, but mostly because she decided not to take the plea.

The best thing about The Crow was the soundtrack album.

I just realized I forgot to watch the new season. The train one was a low point for sure though.

You know you’ve fallen pretty far when you’ve gone from shadow controlling world events to getting busted scamming 35 quid apiece from Scottish 8 year olds.

Wendy’s seems not to realize that consistency is an important reason people buy fast food from a recognizable brand. Consistency in food quality (ideally good, but even consistently not-terrible), sure. Also price, having the feeling you’re not being jerked around or getting ripped off.

This would simplify the process of deciding where to eat.

Honestly, it’s the first review that’s got me genuinely worried about its quality

“Author of some of the worst novels ever written says ‘movie is great’”.

Have you seen Born on the Fourth of July? Taps? Rain Man? A Few Good Men?

Iran has long been working on nuclear weapons, though the program was briefly halted in 2015 and 2016 thanks to negotiations by former President Barack Obama.

Shannon Sharpe is slowly but surely becoming this generation’s Marc Maron

While true, there is an awful lot of stenography going on with this site, just plain uncritically parroting press releases and news stories three times removed.

No, but you can’t just say you’re a contentious objecter either. You have to demonstrate it. Historically in America, that means showing at least some kind of affiliation with a society or cause that has firmly stated anti-war belief. S. Korea, a country with compulsory military service probably has even tougher…

That’s one of my main points.

People are acting as though this is a new phenomenon necessitating a new, pithy name. Neither one of those things are true, and just because technology has made it easier to disseminate perceived examples doesn’t mean it’s objectively worse. In fact, I’d argue it was worse in the past…

Folks have a real penchant for playing fast and loose with statistics and language. 

First, this whole idea of obtainable/unobtainable is kind of sketchy. We end up projecting the idea of “unobtainable” on the person, like it’s some intrinsic quality that they have, and I think that Meg Ryan is a perfect example of that. My perspective is as a cis gay man, but I don’t think Meg Ryan, from a “beauty”…

The “red hair” argument is a total fallacy. It was essentially one research group deciding what “ideal” sex characteristics look like and defining anyone that fell outside of those ideals as having intersex characteristics. It’s been irresponsibly repeated by people that didn’t want to actually read the study for…

Clarkson has been a 70 year old man for the last 25 years.

I used to believe this was possible, that as a Gen Xer, once the Boomers died off we’d be well on the way to being free from racism. Now I look at the average age of the so-called alt-right, and like the man said, “Everything old is new again.” Racism’s in it for the long haul.
