Oh yeah. My girlfriends and I have had a habit of lust-watching Speed and rewinding the good bits since we've been about 10 years old. You should try it, it makes for awesome sleepovers.

I meant Missy Higgins still had an accent, and isn't marketed outside of Australia, like the Hilltop Hoods or Illy. Sorry, I got a bit convoluted up there.

Australians and Kiwis who want to be marketed outside Oz and NZ drop the accent. See also: Missy Higgins, Natalie Imbruglia, Silverchair, Lorde, every Australian or Kiwi actor who's not Rebel Wilson. Some are better than others. On a scale of Sam Worthington to Portia Di Rossi, Iggy's accent is not that bad.

Hilltop Hoods and Illy are some of the first rappers to keep their accent, and they're unknown outside of Australia/New Zealand. Australians and Kiwis who want to be marketed outside Oz and NZ drop the accent. See also: Missy Higgins, Natalie Imbruglia, Silverchair, Lorde, every Australian or Kiwi actor who's not…

I'm sorry, but that's actually incorrect. Languages don't get watered down to a dumber level, they change and evolve. It's not always in a way you'd prefer, but it's not up to you or me. If you read about the evolution of language, you'll see this. Proscriptivism isn't the way to go, it's classist and ultimately…

Oh god!! In the spirit of this question, I choose 'shoot the hostage'.

Where is it body shaming? Did she say "I drew your penis extra-small hahaha"? No. She objectified them. Sometimes having it dished back to you is educational. It's good to know that some people won't put up with your shit and will throw it back in your face. So no, I'm not crying for these men.

Oh no. She's been living in L.A. When we had her she was a thoughtful singer songwriter.

I think it's good they walk a few steps in her shoes.

A) Yes I am. I'm actually one of the most qualified English teachers my age in the State.

Well I'm glad someone knew what I meant! Most people give me a blank expression, but she's too awesome a character not to reference.

Oh. My. God. I was on exchange in Japan, and my friend and I met up after class to watch an episode of True Blood in the lobby. He'd just come from a different class, and his Japanese friend was walking with him. He introduced me, and said goodbye to her, as we were about to watch our episode, when she asked if she…

it always had rape, it's not a new thing.

My partner's family is convinced that leaving food out at the wrong temperatures is an excellent way to build your immunity to little food bugs. They never get sick, I think they might be on to something.

You need to get over that. I'm an English language teacher, and I can tell you that it stands in as a less formal "you're welcome", which is widely accepted in other languages. Or do you get mad at Spanish speakers for saying "de nada" or French speakers for saying "de rien"?

That's ok, I didn't read it that way! I didn't give you a lot to work tone-wise in my first comment, I can see how you could interpret a number of different ways. I find these discussions interesting, and they're basically impossible if you're looking for insult or have zero sense of humour.

See, I've always felt that "God has a plan" makes no sense if you think about free will. Either he's omnipotent and has decided not to intervene (so no miracles or plans) or he's not omnipotent, or is omnipotent and does intervene (but...in a really kind of jerky way I guess?)

I see that this photo project includes such diversity as 'tattooed hipster with 50's slicked side part' and 'tattooed hipster with short blunt bangs".

There's also free will. People smoke and drink and have kids at 45, leading to sick babies.

Your feet are still technically on my lawn. Off.
