You followed up a declaration of your profession as, “I work with words and teach people how to interpret their meaning,” with a turn of phrase that, in its grammatical weirdness, obfuscates meaning. I found this humorous in its irony and its ability to draw out my (admittedly, overblown) ire.

How the hell are you an Applied English professor who doesn’t know not to use “to include” like that?

The quick answer is, “I know, I’m sorry, I’m not denying that this is all true. I’m just one person, though, so here is what I’m doing to help.” And then list them and be open to adding or substituting their suggestions.

“I don’t know if I would say race could be even a motivating factor”

It’s the same deal as predatory subprime lending, though. People don’t have money in part because they’ve artificially driven up the cost of living. If they had charged people slightly less, the whole shebang would be more sustainable, because people would take that extra money and save it or spend it on…

For the entire game, I thought Ebony was just some in-game coffee Ignis was obsessed with. I had no idea it was product placement until I saw the logo in the credits. Same with Vivienne Westwood.

I don’t think safety should be compromised, but it’s true that many buulding codes are in place for property values and to keep out the riff raff and not actually for safety. The tiny homes getting torn down is an example.

Still waiting for the epic Snow Crash/Guilty Gear crossover that finally sees a climactic battle between each property’s prospective main characters, Hiro Protagonist and Sol Badguy.

>Reckless assumptions of racism

If you see a crime being committed, get somewhere safe, call the police, and go about your day. The fact that she followed this guy to update 911 implies an overblown sense of responsibility on her part that leads to things like George Zimmerman (who she almost made herself analogous to).

One of the guys on the byline is literally a Pulitzer prize winner.

Oh my god you’re trying to be a YouTube celebrity aren’t you?

Well, you asked for it: Beauty and the Beast. It’s a twofer, both as a symbol of Hollywood’s hard-on for musicals and of its hatred for anything not Oscar-y enough.

Actually, now that you mention it, I’d be interested to see how they’d work him in. Hope 2.0?

Every football fan thinks the big quarterback from their childhood was the best.

It really depends. Yuri on Ice is very new, so I imagine that not many non-anime fans will have heard of it. It’s also an episodic series, whose elements don’t necessary translate to a movie format so well. That said, I’m totally behind the conspiracy theories that elements of some American films were lifted wholesale…

For what it’s worth, it’s not just little men who act this way. In fact, most of the bullies I’ve encountered have been physically-imposing. Don’t leave that part out if it’s true, because it makes it all the more contemptible that someone with an obvious size advantage feels like they can earn their macho cred…

Kindly remember that the German war effort was not supported exclusively by stormtroopers, or even just Nazis.

Well, for the record, this is exactly what people who don’t support a minimum wage increase want.

“People hate GMOs because they’re unsafe,” is akin to, “BLM riots.” It’s a convenient narrative to demonize protestors and completely untrue. Most people who have an issue with GMOs are concerned about sustainability: a monoculture and corporate control of food production is very much not a good thing. The way that…
