IMHO the rule of thumb is “could this character have been done without blackface? If not, could a black person play this part?” 99.9% of times the answer is always yes but RDJ is like the only time it’s no. They could have potentially had a black character do whiteface but that would hit differently. They also could…

Montana here (aka the state with the lowest # of cases and 2nd lowest per capita): we fully reopened at the beginning of this month and the national parks reopened. Tourists are flooding based on the # of RVs and people buying tons of shit at the stores. We closed very early (thanks to our amazing governor) and fully…

I once put my feet up in a friend’s car. The windshield had a crack in it and I guess I applied just enough force to shatter all the glass. Never again!!!

Does anyone remember the episode about the guy with tinnitus? For some reason, that episode emotionally scarred me

Oh see I’ve been on both sides of this now that I’m married. My maiden name is so generic I’ve only had to spell it out once ever in the US and I was genuinely dumbstruck at having to spell it (it’s Miller obviously, real original screen name, and the person wasn’t thinking Muller, they thought Miler).

Same here! I did 26 tickets! -Millenial

It wasn’t just teens though. I’m a millennial on tiktok and it was floating through the BLM and mom tiktok circles too. I reserved 26 tickets using my republican family members’ email addresses since I live far away from any BLM protests and still wanted to do something tangible to protest (yes I’m contributing to…

My dad was not there for us growing up and we were left with a very mentally ill and abusive mother. Since then, my dad has made a real effort to change and develop relationships with his kids. When I had my daughter, he dropped everything and drove 16 hours to come help out when I was released from the hospital. He…

I need to put this somewhere but I am grey- Alito’s dissent was 172 total pages. I feel for his poor clerks

Gorsuch’s views don’t mesh with left-wing views, however, like Sessions, he does believe in upholding the law and so sometimes he’s going to cross party lines, as a good justice should because they really shouldn’t be beholden to any party. While I would have preferred Garland to be the justice, Gorsuch wasn’t the…

Uh kinda buried the lede in the beginning. What about the pregnancy part?

I wasn’t going to comment but there’s a ton of rat stories and I feel compelled to share a non-rat rodent story. When skiing in Telluride 2 years ago I skied right into a porcupine. I’ve skied into my fair share of animals like foxes, quail, deer, etc that usually run away when they see you but the porcupine was…

I’ve seen it being filmed! I was arrested in college (embarrassing) and they were filming people in the drunk tank. It was totally gross- how could someone who is intoxicated agree to be filmed?

Yes! I got halfway through the first episode of Locke & Key before I realized how diverse the cast was and I loved it! 

Considering I’m white, your opinion obviously carries a lot more weight on this than mine does. I think it’s more that they’re just now finally addressing it. I remember in 2010 when I graduated college, the college career counselors telling us to trawl our social media and get rid of anything remotely questionable…

One of the ways I’ve realized how complicit I’ve been is that I don’t seek out shows with diverse casts and I need to put my money where my mouth is on programming. But I have noticed a lot of Netflix’s original content does seem to have intentionally diverse casts where they don’t need to be diverse (if that makes…

I’m old enough to say “which Bush?”

My BIL would freely admit he likes his guns. He uses them to shoot elk and dove, both of which he consumes. He does not have guns that would not protect him while hunting or work for hunting. When not hunting, his guns are kept in a locked safe separate from their ammunition. His kids are trained in gun safety just in…

To be fair, Canada isn’t much better with handling police brutality against minorities and system racism of First Nations. Not trying to downplay the US issue but pretty much every country has its own racism and oppression and, rather than wringing their hands over the US, they should take this opportunity to discuss…

I have a gun. I shoot it about once a year at a practice range to make sure I know what I’m doing. I bought the gun because I go into the backcountry here in grizzly territory. Contrary to what you may think, the gun isn’t for killing grizzlies, but rather to kill myself or a companion if we were mortally wounded with…
