I guarantee Bumgarner has said “so much for the tolerant Left!” at least once in the past three years.

I’m just so sick of these guys whining about how “attractive” people get more positive attention. No shit. Welcome to the world. That’s shouldn’t be a revelation to anyone. What baffles me is their inability to see attractiveness as a package deal. Yeah, good looks are going to get you more swipes on Tinder or…

can’t surgically alter a personality or misogyny though. so, the problem for these dudes will remain.

I didn’t I read it as giving birth in the past but that she had been previously pregnant and maybe miscarried or possibly even given an abortifacient without the family’s knowledge.

Because a lot of the people who provide us this entertainment do not have the ability to escape society’s problems. They also have a very limited window in their lives to take advantage of their platform.

To your point, politics is also pretty annoying when you’re structurally discriminated against as black, latinx,…

Some of the most important sports stories ever are important because of their intersection with politics. How do you tell a politics-free version of the story of Jackie Robinson, or the Munich Olympics?

Plus, Nebula was fucking great throughout the entire movie and got one of the more interesting character arcs in a Marvel flick.

OK, someone please help me out. Does Red Skull ever say that you need to lose that which you love “MOST”? Or it just that you have to lose that which you love? The point being that if you can’t love anything, you don’t deserve the Soul Stone. Because I feel like a lot of the Black Widow/Hawkeye thing makes sense if…

Exactly, if they had sidelined the original Avengers there would be a similar article about that.  There is literally no winning with fandoms.

I know that I have a different perspective on this, and am not here to minimize a person’s feelings on the matter, but this hostility feels misplaced. Endgame was here to serve as a conclusion to a narrative arc, not to build up new characters. The hostility should be in the fact that Marvel hasn’t done enough…

For me or you, there is no functional difference between the two.  If I had either amount, my coworkers would never see my ass again.

It wasn’t great phrasing, but it doesn’t strike me as coming from a place of malicious or even casual racism. I think he’s just saying that life-changing amounts of money like that are inconceivably large to regular people. I mean, I’m a white dude from California, and I’m too poor to have any real grasp of the…

I guarantee you Curacao is a hell of a lot nicer and safer than Alabama.

To be fair, people should be saying that Alabama is a poverty stricken wasteland.

One thing Americans do that drives me nuts is assume every country except America is a poverty stricken wasteland. “Well he’s from Alabama and they are all poor down there” nobody would ever say this but the per capita GDP of Curaçao and Alabama are essentially identical.

But in the US, perhaps due to oddities of our culture, it’s a more passive-aggressive form of racism where they just talk about “those people” and make sure their kids don’t go to the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods and vote for politicians who know what dogwhistles to use.

It’s serious, significant, and widespread in both Europe and the US (I wouldn’t say North America so much, Canada’s not nearly as bad). But in the US, perhaps due to oddities of our culture, it’s a more passive-aggressive form of racism where they just talk about “those people” and make sure their kids don’t go to the…

To paraphrase Homer Simpson, it takes two to do racism—one to do racism and one to be of a minority race. Shame on Kean.

I feel like North Americans and most of the world don’t realize how racist a large portion of Europe actually is. Im not calling out any specific areas or nations, but racism seems to be more serious,significant, and widespread problem in Europe than inNorth America imo.
