I’m with you- I was a late 70s, early 80s kid that grew up in a blue collar neighborhood in Cleveland. My mom’s biggest rule was, when the streetlights came on, it was time to get your butt home!

This is why I outsource my hotness. There’s another guy out there dealing with all of that getting hit on and managing various relationships and getting offers to star in movies. Too much work.

Nah, you’re spot on. It sounds like we had similar childhoods. I was always on the hunt for a way to make extra cash, and even though my Mom, Grandma and I would take weekly trips to the library, I think my Mom finally agreed to let me take the bus by myself to the library when I was around 10. We were sooooooo much…

Nah, I’m super jelly, your childhood sounds idyllic. And I think there has been a backlash against helicopter parenting, which is all to the good imo. Just pointing out the realities of growing up in the nineties/early oughts. Free-range children were assumed to be pickings for satanic rapists, the internet was…

Sounds like you had very tolerant parents and lived in area where you could walk or bike to fun things like radio shack and a cool cemetery. Not everyone is so fortunate, especially us millennials who were almost uniformly overparented and often grew up in the vast kind of suburb where it could take half an hour to…

Meh. My husband, who is 60, tells tales of Caltech back in the day. Page House did a water ride (ala the Jungle Cruise) through its halls one year, they did a bobsled (ice) ride one year, etc.

It is pretty vague but you know I liked your take on it, I hadn’t actually thought about the camera shots and how it could mean he was or wasn’t really there. I just assumed he was back woopdy doo

I like this guy a lot. I feel for him too, he must have expected better of them than this and that is a painful, painful disappointment to endure after leading them for so long in praying to his God. Good on him.

Depending on what his congregation as a whole really thinks, this was also a brilliant move on his part. If they really were mostly mad at him for what he said, there’s no way to spin his leaving that doesn’t make them look like bigoted assholes.

That last line made me smile.

I’m not one of the faithful but give this man a church. Osteen’s congregation could use some new leadership. Just sayin’.

If only more people were like this in everyday life. Like, standing by what you believe in. Integrity. Not a lot of free thinking out there.

Teeny weenie peenie committee?

David Cage’s biggest problem is that you get the sense that he feels “genre” writing is somehow beneath him. It’s not enough for him to tell a good story about a serial killer, or a woman followed by a ghost, or robots. He’s like M. Night Shyamalan in the sense that if you give him a simple genre concept he can likely…

That’s quite an honor, I’ll wear it with pride. #FuckTheBeach

Fuck the beach. The beach is the fucking worst. You know who goes to the beach? Miserable fucking people go to the beach, to pretend that they’re not miserable fucking people.

Cool. Cool. This is all GREAT information. But what about after eating a large pepperoni pizza and a 2-litter of Big Red? Your article doesn’t really address this.

Hell yea, I’d be down with a Jacuzzi Bro’s holiday. Seriously, not sure why we don’t have more celebrations on things that actually helped the world. Like scientists who’ve cured diseases, created the MRI machine, the list is endless. Why does Columbus have a day but Leonardo Da Vinci doesn’t?

Yes.

¡Pamplemousse por vida!
