The pleasant nerds have sort of been reclaiming nerdom from the nerdbro-ish nerds for the past few years, and I think we're seeing a backlash from those nerds who also held severely right-wing views in addition to being nerds. It's the same thing that's been going on in America at large; Gamergate is to geekdom what…

Also not a half bad description of Tom Waits' voice itself.
I'd really like to see them cast a black woman missing her legs - for the sake of representation but also for the sake of realism, since CGI missing legs just can't look the way a real person with a body like that ever could (see: Lt. Dan).
She's definitely on the skinnier side. "Nosy" might be the most applicable descriptor.
Doesn't "zaftig" mean "plump"? The waitress wasn't heavy in any of the images there. But yeah, I like how even people who listen in on your conversation are going to just go ahead and get saved too along with the people you're witnessing to.
I like the fact that "Duke" specifies that he threw the other guy through "a plate glass window." Not just through a window, but through a plate glass window. As it any kind of window even exists.
His hatred of Catholicism is pretty funny, because he's so infuriated and completely consumed with his hatre of the Roman Catholic Church that his mockery of it is pathetically unhinged. The eucharist is a "magic cookie," the church is "Mama Church," the Pope is "the Holy Papa," etc.
Exactly. The moment when I started to get frightened of these things rather than than having a laugh at them was when I started working in customer service and started getting handed one of these once or twice a year. Knowing that there are folks who walk among us and interact with us who agree with this sick freak is…
Chamberlain gets a bad rap that I'm not sure he deserves. What everyone forgets is that everyone at that time - including Churchill, if I'm not mistaken - wanted to avoid a second Great War at all costs, and thought that letting Germany absorb German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia and France was a pretty reasonable…
That, but also the unnecessarily hostile way he's expressing that opinion. I mean, I agree with the point he's making, but I sure as hell don't agree with his assertion that anyone who doesn't feel just as strongly as he does about it is an apologist for anti-black racism of "All Lives Matter" proportions.
It only got that way because the anti-SJW crowd tried to tread this simple factual observation like it was some kind of risibly delusional nonsense and tried to mock everyone who acknowledged it. I have no idea whether or not whether "manspreading shaming" was unfair or whether it was even a thing because I didn't…
The WMD's were a McGuffin.
I just hope her role has more to it than Ernie Hudson's, whose character joined the film and then just sort of floated around as a background character without much character development or a role in the film.
Seconded. It is sort of unfortunate that they felt the need to keep the race of each analogous character the same. Finn, for example, is the "Force Awakens" version of Han Solo, but they had no qualms about making him black, and that worked out wonderfully (the same way that the "TFA" version of Luke is female and…
The word "troll" has taken on a double meaning and now refers both to those who say silly nonsense just to start drama and also to those who go to a site where their views are not welcome and try to shout down the prevailing opinion in favor of their own.
The problem with TGoEE is that he makes some excellent and much-needed points about race …
…. but then he goes and ruins it by being needlessly antagonistic and jerky for no reason. Which, relevantly enough, is one of the primary traits which separates social justice advocates from "social justice warriors" in the…
"A man spreading his legs too wide on the subway wasn't just being inconsiderate, he was asserting the patriarchy."
I work with a girl who's got a … it's not really a mohawk, it's more of an undercut that leaves a strip of hair on top of the head. She wears it in a ponytail. It makes her look like the kind of person who owns a snake as a pet and goes to Renn Faires - but she does own a ball python, and we switched shifts this…
