Also, a feminist or a trans person can be a living refutation of the kinds of misconceptions on which misogyny or transphobia might* be based, so contact theory can understandably work in those situations.
Climate change denial/acceptance is an entirely different kind of position, so yeah hanging out with an…

HERPETOLOGISTS, ON THE OTHER HAND . . . WELL, IF YOU'LL TOLERATE SNAKES THEN YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH JUST A NUT WHO'LL ACCEPT ANYTHING, RIGHT?

You're underestimating the possibility of one being a puritanical churchy and a recovering alcoholic.
That gets you bonus points at testimony service.

I've always found snobbery over rotten grainwater baffling, myself.

Gaga's genuinely talented, which makes her derivative showmanship and appropriation kinda more frustrating.

I'm having a hard time coming up with my own answer for this question, so I can settle in here. Ted Nugent is a deplorable human being, but Stranglehold is both great on its own and also on the very short list of best pro wrestling intro songs of all time (Kevin von Erich).

Jaws
most of my own list is more "I've got to catch a particular scene/line" than the whole movie, but Jaws has too many of those scenes/lines for me to isolate.

Chronicles of Riddick is terrible, but still somehow sucks me in. And not even in the same way that Dune does.

pencils, or pan-sills?

It's corny, sure, but plenty of good action movies are corny: for a certain type of action flick, some degree of corn is necessary, I'd say.
Mediocre, on the other hand—the performances are rock-solid (pun intended). Cage is literally right on the vertex of his swing from Oscar-winning dramatic actor to crazy-eyed…

Prom queens are for closers.

Offshore roughnecks aren't really comparable to factory workers. "Blue collar" isn't a one-size-fits-all blanket. The movie exaggerates, as movies in general and blockbuster action movies in particular are wont to do, but that particular line of work (and others similar to it, especially in regards to schedule and…

I can't tell anyone how or how not to take a given statement, but there's a big leap on your part from taking it a certain way and berating CUYB for it. You could have voiced your concerns without the arrogant presumption required to respond the way you did.

I felt bad for O'Neal, he didn't get to bring his notorious sarcasm to bear in this article. All he could do was state the facts of the case.

You're one of those people who believes you should only celebrate milestone birthdays, aren't you?

Yes, it's both, but one is a direct result of the other. They're like the exception that proves Hanlon's Razor.

It's not even diarrhea, really. Just occasional seepage, which is in many ways worse because at least with diarrhea it's a legit excuse for staying home for a couple of days.

Old people. One of my parents' friends signs her FB posts. She doesn't post all that much, usually just to wish someone a happy birthday, but I still snicker a little whenever I see it.

I don't know, to me he seems more like the kid who hasn't hit puberty yet so doesn't really understand anything about sex or attraction, but pretends to around his friends. Like, if he said something about a breast feeling like a bag of sand, I'd absolutely accept that he imagines that's what they feel like.

Part of me wants to upvote, but it's way too close to blasphemy.
