Bad analogy is bad.

E’ry day, homie.
Generally speaking, a piece of media cannot be “awful,” in an objective sense. I mean, if we were talking about the whole thing being non-deliberately out of focus, or The Room-level incompetence when it comes to the actual technical act of filmmaking, sure. But almost everything else is subjective opinion. So, yeah,…
“The Last Jedi felt like its entire point was to let you know how much of a jackass you are for caring about this stuff.”
Yeah, no. I work a full-time job, work out every day, just about, play two instruments in two different bands, play four others just for fun, DJ, surf, and read like turning pages is heroin, and I still struggle with insomnia and can rarely sleep more than 6 hours a night. I mean, it’s entirely possible I’m the…
I can’t even imagine the party in New York City.
“They even tried to confine the virulent racism to only a few bad apples IN THE KLAN, making the chapter head not that bad a guy”
“It had this weird fairytale feeling of “And that’s how racism was ended forever.””
I mean, I saw that whole sequence - Stallworth clowning Duke, the arrest in the bar, etc. - as a kind of bait-and-switch. Like, “Look how well everything’s turning out! Only the Klansmen died! We got that racist cop! David Duke feels like an asshole! Yay!” And then, you know, immediately following that, we get the…
“WHY HAVE YOU SEEN PEARL JAM 19 TIMES??????????”
I’m as psyched about the low turnout of assholes as the next rational person, but I feel like we all need to hold off on sucking each other’s (insert sexual organ of choice) just yet. Yeah, this one rally was lame...but what happened in Portland, with a hundreds-strong turnout for the Nazis and police acting against…
Ugh. I fucking hate this - both the photo, and his response. But, then, I have a particular sensitivity to this, I guess. I still haven’t been to the memorial I’ll go, some day. I’m sure it’ll be easier to take than the massive hole in the ground it was the last time I was down there. But, I swear to god, I have to…
The problem is that what America defines as the “center” has drifted markedly right over the past few decades, thanks to successful conservative efforts to paint even the smallest concession to the social safety net as ZOMG THE SOVIETS ARE BACK SOCIALISM, to convince everyone that the word “taxes” is so evil that even…
Man, I feel for HEAL so much. I have been there, and then some. The wonderful part is that literally all the literature I could find at the time about being in a relationship with someone dealing with mental health issues was about how *I* could be a better partner to *them*, support them in what they were going…
Jesus Christ, this clip gave me a headache. My favorite part is when Bill Maher told Boots to shut up despite the fact that literally no one on the panel was able to get a complete sentence out of their mouth without someone else shouting over them.
Is the proprietary sauce thing US-only? Because, if not, Swiss Chalet sauce FTW. I’m not even Canadian, but that stuff is like liquid crack cocaine.
I think we’re kind of looking at this differently. It’s less the idea that one is *unable* to romantically bond with another human if they wanted to, and more the idea that feeling that romantic pull to someone else means there is something wrong in one’s own relationship and/or one’s attraction to the person with…
RE: #2 - Yes. Many, many people believe that. I mean, that’s the whole “soul mate” idea, in a nutshell; that there is a person out there who fits you so perfectly that you’ll never want for anything, romantically, ever again. I’m sure pop culture is mostly to blame, but I’ve absolutely encountered more than one friend…
Dan’s last point about feeling love/attraction for more than one person at a time needs to be required reading for literally every person before they embark on their romantic life. It is so, so important to the health of monogamous relationship to understand that it is a choice you make every single day, not something…
