#humblebrag

Goddammit, you’re turning me into a guy who says stuff like “If you’re going to say shit like ‘Oscar-winning actress Michelle Williams and former leader of the Funky Bunch Mark Wahlberg’ would you be ok with someone describing “Multiple Oscar-nominee Mark Wahlberg and former Dawson’s Creek co-lead Michelle Williams.”

Supply and demand. There are a whole bunch of the former and very few of the latter. Just or not, paying 3.2 million full-time-equivalent public school teachers (not to mention all the private school teachers and not even touching on the other categories of people you mentioned) $600,000 annually is nowhere close to

“Screenwriters should write more leading roles for Michelle Williams, and for women in general.”

So if these men don’t speak out, they’re criticized, but if they do, they’re criticized anyway. Why say anything?

It must suck to be this unhappy and bitter about everything.

But their male peers—like the newly “woke” Justin Timberlake, who co-starred with Winslet in 2017's Wonder Wheel—have managed to elude the same kind of bad press entirely, largely because they haven’t been asked about working with Allen in the same way, if at all.

“This is about the women. Men should not be trying to make this about themselves.

“Men should be quiet and listen to what the women have to say about this topic. Also, why aren’t the men speaking up?”

I’d like to formally announce the Critical Thinking Challenge

This is why I always have a clean microfiber towel and Ammo Spit in my car at all times. If you catch the bird poo before it dries, it’s quite easy to remove. The longer you wait, the more annoying it is to remove. The important thing is to not scrape at it, because that’ll damage your paint.

This very straightforward video made me laugh though

Comment section is exactly what I was expecting. People got adblock for a reason. That reason hasn’t gone anywhere. Fix the problem, and maybe people will reconsider. Instead, it gets worse like the current fad of autoplay videos.

Oh, also, is it malware that makes the page jump when an ad loads ~5 seconds after the rest of the page, making me click on the ad (or some article I don’t care about) instead of the thing I’m interested in?

Is it malware that’s making an obnoxious, unrelated-to-the-article video play in the middle of every single blog on this site?

On mobile where I don’t use an adblocker, the ads loading several seconds later is annoying as Hell: it never fails that I tap on an article when I think the page is done loading, it sits for a few seconds, the ads load and shift everything on the page down, and then it registers my tap...on the wrong article because

Cops who are concerned with looking tough shouldn’t be cops.

With LA traffic, 400 miles might be the only amount of distance you can cover reasonably in two years.
