She has an awesome dry sense of humour, which just doesn’t land for a lot of people. I’ve seen people helpfully suggest that she should talk a sarcastic 10 year old dipshit so people know she’s joking.

lol what, you sound legit creepy.

What’s the matter, honey? Need a juice box?

I think based on context she was just joking but I can imagine dealing with trolls is pretty brutal for her. Like, I didn’t think Captain Marvel  was a particularly good MCU entry - I thought the pacing was uneven, none of the jokes landed, and just in general the script could have used another draft or two - but I…

I mean there are many people in the US who generally believe that the justice system and the police force are overall fair and not in need of reform, so...probably?

Do people actually believe that Law & Order in any way represents reality? Because if enough of them do, then that is a bigger problem than any TV show depicting heroic cops.

....yeah, I’m from NJ (with a couple distant connections to Smith) and loved Dogma and everything, but they lost me completely at killing off Rosario Dawson. I went from having a reasonable amount of nostalgic interest in seeing this to actively wanting to pass. Only reason I might check it out now is if enough time…

For that exact reason. Red State was not a Kevin Smith film in its pacing, cinematography, the complete absence of any pop-culture riffing, the acting, the writing, and the overall production. It was like when Clint Eastwood made Jersey Boys. It felt like a film that Kevin Smith may have been on the set for but didn’t…

Targs suck.

Why do you say Red State is not a Kevin Smith movie? Genuine question, because I wonder how he managed to make a genuinely good movie exactly once in his career.

Kevin Smith knows a lot about movies, it’s too bad that doesn’t translate into his ability as a filmmaker. I really doubt that Kevin Smith would enjoy Kevin Smith movies. He’d probably shit all over them.

Thank you. Good effort.

Elves have a very strange relationship with the natural world. For example, if you notice in the first episode, when Galadriel and her batalion are searching the snowy peaks for Sauron, they walk above the snow, like they’re weightless. Here’s a quote from Fellowship Of The Ring, from when the Fellowship is trying to…

Someone please explain why Arondir seems to be floating in this shot. It’s easier to see in the actual trailer/ad clip. He seems to be floating down/forward rather than leaping or following a natural arc.

Really? I have grandchildren and great grandkids, none of them has had a trans phase, as you put it. But those I know who wanted to transition have gone through hell to achieve it. And, fyi, it's rarely a phase. 

At this point I’ve just accepted it as a basic tenant of being human. It’s often taken a personal experience, or the experience of someone I hold dear, for me to understand another perspective. I feel we gotta work with that mechanic in our social engineering if we are to solve these problems.

Maybe. Except she’s not keeping her mouth shut and she could have gone to New Mexico and not said anything either, but she didn’t. Which is why I’m inclined to be slightly more generous toward her. 

You missed the long period of the child being under the treatment of a therapist before any medications are ever considered. This is done because they want to make sure it isn’t a phase. And that doesn’t include visits to a pediatrician and endocrinologist that each have to sign off on any treatment plan. If you don’t…

and maybe just maybe.... we could revisit nuclear again as well.

I make (primarily) electrodes: battery electrodes, fuel cell electrodes, solar cells... on a pilot scale basis.  So, you know, mostly experimental type stuff for one reason or another.  You wouldn’t believe the number of companies that are pounding on our doors, willing to throw buckets full of money at us, to give…
