We have the Queen on our money because we separate our head of state from the political day to day maneuverings of operating the country.

It’s because she’s officially our head of state. The Prime Minister is head of government, which is not the same thing. We absolutely could ditch her, but it would require amending our constitution and coming up with either a new system of government or a new method of choosing our head of state.

Yeah, and prostitution is incredibly complicated as well: you’re involving “poverty porn” and economic injustice as well. Lots and lots of fantasies about people (not just trans people and women, but “gay for pay” fantasies as well) being forced to “do anything” for money out there.

People are already pretty cagey about their porn habits and kink, so by what means is anyone supposed to identify, confront, and (I presume the ultimate goal) shame these consumers? To say nothing of the fact that by virtue of being mostly a private thing, there’s no pressure to virtue signal—inoother words, if…

I know a lot of places that do that. It is good business practice, kind of like comping the local mob boss’s meal. 

The problem isn’t the porn industry but society. The content of porn is unapologetically driven by what their customers want to get off to. That is why there are tons of rape fantasy porn etc. And I am sure there are tons of people that would say that the violence towards women in porn affects sexism in society as…

Hell hath no fury like a Karen mildly inconvenienced.

martinis are stirred by default. vespers are shaken by default.

Luz Long was more than kind to Owens. In defiance of other Nazi athletes routinely ignoring or belittling their non-Aryan competitors, Long hugged Owens after Owens beat his mark to win Gold, locked arms with Owens to walk him to the locker room, and held his shoulder congratulating him in front of the international…

I watched it like 50 times in a row. Idk HOW they brought back Steve Trevor but I’m glad. I dont think they had a fair shot and I loved how real and emotional the romance felt. Gotta love a supportive love interest/sidekick who helps you instead of holding you back. 

My guess at plot is that the evil genius guy is doing something where he gives people what they most desire (Chris Pine, Kristin Wiig becomes “cool”) but somehow that enables him to manipulate them or harness some kind of power. So I’m guessing she might lose him again when she defeats the bad guy.  Also maybe he just…

I look forward to referring to this flick as Wonder Woman 1984 (2020).

It would actually be kind of hilarious if they just never explain why Steve’s back. Just saying “Do any of you really care as long as you get more of him?”

Your ass is showing. It’s pretty clear you don’t have a clue about what goes on in China. There is definitely corruption, but people hardly get fuck you rich from it. Despite what you think, there’s a lot of generational wealth that was gained from eminent domain expansion by the Chinese government in the nineties and…

There are way more poor people than rich you moron.

He is in China. His parents are likely poor.

Haha.. No. China has plenty of wealthy people. More likely he’s spoiled and has rich parents like SSReset said. It’s literally an invasion of spoiled brat in Canada, Australia, and especially US universities.

I’m not sure a 198K USD character is really any better...

“Millennial” is so obviously pejorative, and yet somehow it’s only “ageism” to use a broad generational signifier when the people in question are older.

I just can’t get over the fact that the generation that has spent the last however many years bitching incessantly and generalizing about millennials is now so incredibly butthurt over “Ok Boomer”.  I mean, c’mon.
