Damn, I should have read further down - also posted about the insurance thing. Hell, just the risk that they could need to take a few extra days off because they were tired could jack up the insurance and mess up the budget. And you can’t mess with the money of extremely rich people and movie studios by a penny.

While they’ll parade you around and call you strong, no casting agency or director wants to bring on someone with cancer - male or female.

You should be able to find your own friends in college without having to do all this ridiculous and dangerous shit just to be liked and accepted.

I thought they had it before that - there was an incident in Season 2 (LA?) -

It would make sense - “for employment” or “at the request of a parent” seems feasible (maybe a pain in the ass in some circumstances, but feasible); without those exceptions, that is insane.

Can’t help but think of the Dutch history with South Africa - not surprised if there are still some people in that mindset.

And here’s the problem: the young‘uns have seen the nuance-free, all-emotion approach work for the GOP, so they want to co-opt it.

Is that an old law, because this page provides a “quick guide,” and has nothing that bonkers.

I don’t think Maine has that law? - Maine liquor and liability laws

My apologies - I didn’t read carefully enough and misunderstood what you were saying you didn’t get (“I used to be in X” doesn’t always mean that much on Kinja - I didn’t realize you meant “educated and worked in” versus “I haven’t done this in 15-20 years,” and I do apologize for coming across as shitty when I was…

The GoT theme also paved the way for this

Thank you for writing up this piece! It makes me miss the New York Asian film festival. Quick typo (probably autocorrect) alert - the introduction of the director bills her as “Naoko Origami”

In places like DC, New York, and San Francisco (I live in the first, so I see it a lot), you have pretty small geographic areas where, recently, a lot of people want to live. In DC and SF, at least (I’m not sure about New York), there are a ton of zoning restrictions on height, density, and new multi-unit…

So, I scrolled through the comments and didn’t see anything about this important detail: Goldstone’s email signature is

And (and, I mean, I know this is a dumb question when looking at a Brooks article, but here goes), what the fuck was his point? I mean, I got his, language can act as gatekeeping premise. That’s true. I don’t know that I agree that it’s a greater gatekeeper than zoning laws and school inequality, but it’s definitely…

No, I think you’re right - I think that was Dayton.

Joe is probably not (? who knows?), Nick enjoys the attention of gay men but may not actually be gay, Kevin is totally gay.

Oof, that is the flip side. I guess I was also thinking about the fact that Oswalt wasn’t married until he was 36, so (hopefully) there’s less of that sense that he needs a woman to take care of him.

Also, he’s 48 and she’s 47. By that time, I’m thinking things may move a bit faster, because you’re going to know what you like and what you can handle and who you are and how to read people - all the things that you don’t know so much when you’re younger, so you need to take things more slowly. The older you are,…
