It’s impossible to feel for these movies like we did as kids ... because we’re not kids anymore (most of us) and that sort of ‘god, this is brand new and blowing my mind!’ come partly from a relative innocence about the world and the various story tropes that exist in our culture. Pile on decades of (no longer) canon…

Nope.  Impeachment is unique in that the senate members are both jury and judges - and will inevitably have conflicts of interest or connections to the President.  The thin thread that the founders hung the impeachment process on was the hope that electeds would actually care about our country when push came to shove…

Plus, in order to get that cut, veiny look -you have to be moderately dehydrated, guys who do that generally take a crap-ton of diuretics and are therefore headachy, tired, and may get faint.  Male ideal of power and strength indeed!  

It’s extremely exclusive, but not particularly intellectually rigorous - it’s the west coast’s version of Harvard’s undergraduate degrees; expensive and great bragging points but not great education.

I’m getting increasingly tired of idealization of passive heroes - people who do nothing to actually solve the problem they’re rejecting.

He was pretty racist, even for his time. His contemporaries, including his wife, were disturbed by the intensity of his hatred and fear.

E coli contamination, which is the problem most humans face, isn’t a plant disease. It’s literal contamination - meaning some shit (or something that supports e colo) is on the lettuce.  Doesn’t bother the lettuce at all, just us.

Probably ‘increased’ as we’ve gotten better able to track and identify food contamination issues. Likely the same-ish since we’ve also tightened up food hygiene, possibly on the increase as the feds have slashed the budget for FDA investigators and compliance enforcement.

Dude. Mincemeat is what it is not for pretty flavorings, but as a way to both preserve meat and to hide the fact that it’s ... kinda old by the time midwinter rolls around.

Right. Because ‘it was amazing’ is proof positive that these overpriced bottles of oil, surficants, perfume and chemicals actually stave off age, fix any/all skin problems and otherwise perform miracles.

Because Disney is a money grubbing, greedy and effective mega-corporation, not a cute mouse.

A: that sort of forensic analysis is increasingly being considered bullshit.

The stand your ground laws tend not to apply to people of color.

I agree Jim Caviezel is most fuckable but I’ll take him on Person of Interest over torture porn Jesus any day.

Yeah, I have to admit that Netflix Jesus is probably more or less ethnically similar to the population Jesus would have come from if he were real. It’s not like the chose Jim Caviezel (sp) or something.

Why can’t white people actually be proactive and talk amongst themselves about the damage they’ve done with their systemic racism?

I’m fairly sure that the McConnells of the world will dump his ass so hard he’ll bounce once they’ve achieved a few key goals (like ... packing the courts, and with RBGs health clearly failing, Trump - of all fucking presidents - may be the one to sit three Supreme Court judges).

Yeah, it’s bothered me to and it’s so unnecessary - those meditation circles are everywhere so you can refresh your health and force energy with them (and it’s more challenging if you have to reach a save point to do so). He could earn xp or anything else by solving puzzles, wall running and other tricky things that…

Looks like Elon Musk is exercising his super-villain fantasies again.

Sure, it’s a balancing act but the vast majority of kinksters manage to stay on the living and un-injured side of it, even for folks who are into more edgy play like breathplay, or knife work or whatever. It’s harder than movies make out to accidentally (or intentionally) strangle someone to death.
