I agree! The classic Leo in distress crawl was totally up to par, as well. I think the real brilliance in his performance is how captivating he was with barely saying anything. I genuinely believe it’s up there with his best performances. Also, the rest of the lead male performances were definitely not at the same…

The one snub that really is surprising to everyone is Idris Elba. I’m glad Mark Ruffalo got love because he’s always amazing and a good human being, but Idris Elba was easily better than Christian Bale. The Big Short was a great movie, but Christian Bale was minor in it and just good. Idris Elba gave an original and…

What’s with you and the whole Belize thing? Never even been out of the country. Last vacation was in disney world when I was 6. But if you insist I constantly vacation in Belize, I guess that means you’re correct. You keep ignoring the fact that my point was not my own life. It was that some people can make $100k and…

The stuff you listed as a luxury is literally the definition of a middle class life. Being able to pay off a mortgage in an average amount of time (which is age 55-60) is what I would call...idk...the average middle class person? I’m not saying I’m poor. Again. Never said that. I said average. Do I need to say the…

“The median household income in 2007 was $89,284 and the median family income was $106,093.”

Also, I have to say, the whole “reasonable commute” comment was not from me, so I think there was a mix up here. I really wasn’t trying to pick a fight with anyone, but I was just trying to point out in some places, the median of living really is $100k. I’m not saying middle class means I’m poor. It did kind of come…

I never called it insufficient? I called it middle class. Which was how all of this started. The OP said it wasn’t middle class and I said depending on where a person lives, it is considered middle class. The average median income for families of my county is $106k, and we are slightly below that. It’s Montgomery…

So she shouldn’t give a shit about single parent public school teachers? Or college students? My life was just an example of how a lot of Americans are. Like do you honestly have such cognitive dissonance you don’t see national median income has no real life relevance? I’m not arguing with you about how grand and rich…

In my psychology of human sexuality class, we actually discussed the whole, “Can there really be consent without desire?” I said no, because if you don’t desire to have sex with the person, that means you feel pressured to have sex with them for some reason.

Did I ever say I lived in a fancy house? We live in a pretty small townhouse and both my brother and I are attending community college to save costs. We live pretty frugally because we have to. But my point is that a part time public school elementary teacher makes $100,000 in this county, but she would be categorized…

But that doesn’t account for where those people live. My mom is a single mother and technically part time (.9 instead of 1.0) public elementary school teacher who makes $100,00, but we live in a wealthier county, so here that’s lower middle class. If we moved to a less expensive county, her job would not pay as much.

I am voting for Bernie in the primaries but if she wins the primaries she gets my very unenthusiastic support in the general. Which is a bummer because I wanted the first time I voted for a female president to be a happy occasion.

I don’t understand why she keeps trying to push the whole “Bernie is going to suck the middle class dry” narrative. Has income inequality not been the center of his campaign from the beginning? Even during his filibuster, way before he ran for president, he said it’s absurd that someone who is making $100,000 is…

My lips have been especially bad this winter and now I have figured out why. But if anyone else here has had these issues because of using EOS, the Vaseline Lip Therapy Cocoa Butter stuff has worked miracles. I realize I sound like commercial but seriously that shit is bomb and when my lips were almost bleeding it…

Apparently he remembered and went back up and thanked them (in a heartfelt way, I might add), but they had already cut to commercial.

AGREED. I thought I was going to be judging them for glorifying all the white males involved but they also did a good job showing the toxic masculinity of Wall Street.

It was really good. The director also did the movie Fruitvale Station, and I think because of the success he Creed he is now the first black director for Marvel (Black Panther). It was almost similar to Star Wars to me, in that it paid the respects to the originals, but also took it in a fresh direction. Also Michael…

Well my fathers house got foreclosed on and my mothers credit score was tarnished because of those credit default swaps, like a majority of Americans. Not saying science and engineering isn’t important but do you honestly not see the importance of explaining one of the worst financial crises in history? Especially…

It was something like, “What does sugar tits actually mean?”

I totally agree about the sci-fi. But if weren’t those 2 I would have preferred The Big Short. They did such a good job explaining something soon important and I laughed my ass off.
