This article feels obtuse. I believe she is saying there is a difference between understandable and acceptable. Grown men started propositioning me when I was 12, because I looked like a grown woman at that age. This was both understandable and unacceptable. Can't we hold both ideas at once?

Doubt it. Cheap fabric looks cheap. Expensive materials are expensive for a reason. Someone isn’t going to put together that leather jacket for $150 dollars and not make it look like crap imitation that will not even last for a full 2 days before it starts falling apart.

“As for mutants, Marvel’s killing them off en masse with the same Terrigen mist cloud that’s creating new Inhumans. To add insult to injury, the publisher is also making the remaining mutant survivors sterile.”

Actually, no. Divine was a DRAG QUEEN. He associated himself as a gay male, and dressed up because he enjoyed it. He was not a transgender or transsexual in any sense of the word.

They’ve been “trying too hard” since Pokemon existed. Out of context a lot of Pokemon are hard to explain. Like this chunky, cat eared lizard with a tree on it’s back.

I’m from a small town near Dublin, and most of my sister’s friends are in the recently-immigrated-African community there. I have seen exactly what you describe - but I think your explanation is only half the story.

I hate diet sodas. I have never understood the obsession with diet coke, which to me tastes like someone tortured a real coke by killing all of its family members in front of it and it just cried out all of its goodness.

Except if you think it’s a Merkava, you might mistakenly think you’re safe at 10,000 yards (max engagement range of Israeli LAHAT tank rounds is 8,000 yards). Meanwhile, a salvo of NLOS Spike missiles are spooling up. Conversely, now that the secrets out, every Merkava must be presumed to have a 15 mile engagement…

They talk about Mikasa being one of the last Asians in the anime though... <<SPOILERISH>>It’s specifically why something happened to her in the past.

*sigh* =_=

I think the truth is you’r e simply WAY overthinking it. I get it though, they’re your kids. Overthinking makes you a good parent. Trudge on and learn to convince them why or why not every single game they see is or is not the best one to play at the moment. As a 5 year old I loved the educational game Treasure…

I might not be a good test subject, as I don’t have kids, not even a girlfriend.... (wow, this turned really sad really fast) But I think about this a lot for some reason, and I’ve got a few ideas that seem logical in my head.

Pikachu must feel great when he comes home, undoes the tie - if only his wife would not nag the second he gets home.......

The first thing to address is that there really isn’t an “Africa,” just as there isn’t a singular European or Asian experience/culture/history.
