Talk radio is the original podcast.

I want to follow you down this path, but I can't walk any path that dissuades men from wearing skinny jeans.

I used to think that South Park had gotten mean somewhere along the way. But when I went back and rewatched the episodes I loved as a teenager (I had my DVDs on constant loop all through high school and kept watching into college, somewhere around Season 13 maybe?), I realized the show had always been mean. Only the…

Yeah. I used to think the show was "don't trust people in authority" but it's actually "everyone besides Matt and Trey are stupid." They've had a lot of episodes where they came down on the side of the status quo. The one that always stands out to me is the being vegetarian makes you grow vaginas. There's nothing edgy…

You can be gay and trans or straight and trans.

Jess also nearly assaulted Rory then skipped town without a word, and spent months calling her and saying nothing. He was absolutely not straightforward and honest across the board.

I agree. GG is really good at presenting characters in a way that makes you understand their motivations. Everyone is somewhat sympathetic.

There are dozens of us.

Logan is awesome but his friends are not. He's by far the best match for the person Rory is. She cares too much about status and get grandparents' old money world to every be happy with Jess. And he would see her as yuppie scum anyway.

All of her boyfriends genuinely care about Rory, even Dean. Credit where credit is due.

Yes Digger was great! I always thought he and Lorelei had long term potential.

I avoid spoiling stuff bc I'm not a jerk but there needs to be some kind of timeline. I'm not going to avoid discussion plot points of huge movies and TV indefinately. We all know what happens in Harry Potter and Star Wars, but what about other properties?

They should. I'd never heard that before.

How sad for your boner.

I've heard 1) phrased as "you have to push someone in front of the trolley to divert its path," which might not make the most sense physics wise, but certainly makes you hesitate more than just flipping a switch.

Japanese anime and videogames helped me understand cultural appropriation. Anime and video games issues make use of Western religions, especially Catholic imagrey. Crosses, the seven deadly sins, etc. My girl Misa is wearing a cross because the Death Note manga creators thought it looked cool. They didn't think about…

The classic I'm not racists, I work with black people defense.

I don't like fried chicken. Ask that breading ruins some perfectly good chicken.

Yes, that was a strange moment. The meth heads are so bumbling that it's hard to read them as threatening, and it seemed like the show was saying haha, Angie raped some guys, which really isn't funny.

In some jurisdictions you can shoot someone just because they're on your property, though you usually do need to argue imminent threat. I could see Yoga getting off or getting manslaughter. IANAL but I watch a lot of legal procedurals.
