So, you’re not having a conversation with me (you’re having a conversation at me) and although you quoted my comment, you clearly didn’t read it. Read my last two sentences carefully. You’re on a soapbox while I’m just talking.  We’ll never communicate if that’s what you’re going to do.

Perfect.  Hopefully the younger crowd will get it.

But that isn’t what people have been fighting for. Why would we want an environment where marginalized people can only be saints and victims? Isn’t the whole point that people can be complex and deeply flawed and that’s what makes them interesting? I understand where your fervor on this comes from, but I think that in…

I actually completely agree with you. However, I will say that Bale still brought everything he had to the table in his performance. I may not like the movie or the role, but he did an admirable job with what he was given.

Wow, you guys turned on him fairly quickly.  You do know the reason you’re tired of hearing about him is because you’ve done like 10 stories in the past couple of weeks about him right?

{sigh}

Yaaay! I can be rejected in all of the cities that I travel to. Woohoo! ;)

I need to know the secret code for telling young wait staff to not flirt with the ugly, middle-aged man because it gets them better tips. I get it. It probably makes for more money to be flirty with ugly, middle-aged men. However, for some of us, it makes the meal uncomfortable and also makes things awkward as hell…

That sounds legit.  I had hope that something was lost in translation.

[Horniness] is my way of life...

A waffle. No political commentary intended. My daughter simply decided I am going to be a waffle and she is dressing up as a bottle of maple syrup.

Hell no.

I want my own X-Wing. :)

Apparently passionate is another word for asshole.

So, I’m a romantic at heart. However this statement:

Gee, I wonder if the executives will get a severance.... hmmmm....

That you’re being a touch uptight here?

Wow.  This guy is a fucking piece of work.  This might be grey area for #metoo, but it is quite clear that he’s a monster.

I’m adding that this is a systemic problem in numerous fields and things aren’t going to get better unless they do start paying these folks more. Which means that museums, zoos, university research teams, etc. who normally have a subsistence level budget to keep going are going to have to find a way to radically alter…

I’m not sure I completely agree with that. Getting paid very little with something that requires a massive personal and professional investment is bad for everyone. I don’t think they’re doing it to keep minorities from holding these positions. It’s that they exist in a climate where there isn’t a lot of money for…
