The frustration is often accompanied by a "wink" for lack of a better word - like you know he's having fun with us when we watch a man sweep through the entirety of Green Onions.

It's essentially the equivalent of standing in front of a painting and just letting your thoughts run where they might. I say that in the best way possible because (at least for me, and definitely a few others) it's always engaging to sit there and look at the mundane in Lynch's work.

"Hold my warm milk"

I think the first one is a very poetic story when separated from the remainder of the books. But I can see your point, too.

This is an unpopular opinion, but I found that story turn to be fairly resonant given the reality it was drawn from.

I've always been of the opinion that many comedians (I'm going to exclude Andrew Dice Clay, for example) represent the smartest people humanity has to offer. He's a very good example of that.

So Oliver Stone made a sequel to his movie railing against Wall Street culture and he takes $100k to give the living embodiment of that target a cameo and advertising.

I may be ignorant in some ways due to the sheer impossibility of knowing everything, but I assure you, it's not intentional.

I knew this was coming from your comment below… (it's ok, I like you!)

"overtly gender neutral" is what I should have said.

Agreed, but why haven't we come up with a way to describe black people in an equally gender-neutral way?

How does one pronounce "Latinx?"

I think we can all agree that Ayn Rand is/was a piece of shit and whether I'm right or wrong about my classification of Social Security, she's still a piece of shit.

The entire purpose of this thread is that Social Security is not welfare.

My definition doesn't vary, it's just the definition. The cost of borrowing is not "welfare."

So then you're of the opinion that everyone holding T-bills is earning welfare?

Which has nothing to do with Social Security, but go on…

No one's tax dollars are paying that difference, that's interest/investment income.

The conversation originally was about whether Moises Alou was a bad outfielder based on this play.
