    We know that millions of North Koreans and Syrians are in danger right now, doesn't mean there aren't good reasons to not charge in and start a war with those countries.

    But, like… all those other humans that died in the San Diego scenes didn't sign up to be messing with a T-Rex either did they?

    The hate for Dane Cook seems to have very little to do with his actual jokes and a lot to do with 21st Century culture wars and general over-exposure backlash. His comedy certainly isn't great (I'm certainly not a fan), but it isn't as loathsome as people make it out to be. Even the joke stealing accusations are a bit

    Earliest Millennials were born in 1980, meaning the oldest of them would have been 15…

    They don't give a shit if foreigners use banned things (they're not the ones who could potentially rise up and rebel) and probably don't want to discourage tourism because of the whole "police state" thing.

    Media Narratives: they shall never be busted.

    Yeah, Caputo seemed to be seeing the situation the right way for the most part but his response was kind of tone deaf. He realized that this tragedy was caused by systemic problems and wanted to call that out but he framed it in terms of defending the white guy (going so far as to not even fire him) rather than

    I think the implication isn't so much that he's a "good guy" or a "bad guy" so much as someone who was in no way qualified to be a prison guard. It's a job that requires incredible responsibility and which could get people killed if its done incorrectly…. and yet society cares so little about these lives that they

    "The show removes the political circumstances of white privilege, supremacy, and police violence by making Poussey’s murderer one of the good guys in a sea of bad guys."

    Yeah, but that might just be because there isn't really as much of a financial incentive to translate American sitcoms to Britain as the reverse so they don't really try.

    Why does she keep harping on the song being "long?" It's three minutes and forty five seconds. It's not exactly ""In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."

    Whenever I watched reruns of this show I always wondered "were these 'celebrities' ever actually semi-recognizable stars or were they always basically professional game show panelists."

    Bendis: "Alright, I'm going to step up and demand that we add diversity, I think we should make Iron Man a black woman"

    I never really considered Limp Bizkit to really be nu-metal, or at least I never thought they were very representative of the genre. Korn, Lincoln Park, The Deftones, etc all took themselves very seriously and were all emo and hot topicy. There's certainly something laughable about that approach as well but it

    "The bad news is that the entire genre is remembered, when it’s remembered at all, as the last gasp of the angry white male as a demographic to be catered to."

    His basic point was to say "stop giving money to things even though you know you'll hate them just because they have a brand name you love on them thus encouraging studios to resurrect more brands that don't need resurrecting." If he'd done it with Batman v Superman it would have been greeted postively, unfortunately

    It actually didn't flop… it made $319,713,881 worldwide… I was surprised too.

    So if I wrote a 2000-word essay about the horrors of sex trafficking and did it by occasionally hinting that this Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble is probably a pedophile you'd be fine with that as long as the overall stance of the article is correct?

    The general fact that the article repeatedly insists that James Rolfe is a sexist even though his video never once says that the female cast is the reason he's against the movie…
