He really did seem like some kind of impossible unicorn, in hindsight. I have followed him for years now for the reasons that are obvious, cute in a way many porn guys are not, good at looking both menacing as a dom but also sweet and goofy in other instances, AND he dated two porn women I respected and thought "oh,…

Agreed about why DMX drove him around. I think the non-disclosure more applied to not telling people where he lived, not so much that he exists. He was helping Eddie score with a lady (who happened to have arranged Ghetto Life on piccolo, I thought that part was super cute/funny.)

To each their own but you sound a little too cautious. So what if you get one of the treatable STD's? I feel like we've way over stigmatized these things. Obviously, herpes and HPV are more likely to hang around but there are pretty good treatments for them even if they can't be cured. I've always been a very…

This one guy I was with was just a tiny bit too big for regular condoms, they just broke immediately but a magnum was a tiny bit too big and it would fall off. He was extra long but not that thick so that must have been the deal, that it's wider not longer? I felt bad for him that he was always gonna have weird…

Doesn't sound like she isn't into his junk, she just desires variety. I can totally understand, the one thing I miss about being slutty (now that I'm monogamously married) is just different kinds of dicks. Not exclusively giant dongs, but just dicks that are different than my husbands (which is great and I love!) It's…

He really was a next level douche bag. BUT what's terrible is I found him very weirdly attractive and was a little infatuated with him until I found out he'd been arrested for beating his girlfriend. That went beyond "ooh he's such an asshole and it's kind of hot" to "oh he's just an asshole."

Eh, Paul was not "assertive" and he was both Asian and won, so that point just doesn't compel me. Lee Ann comes to mind but there have been Asian female chefs that were of normal comportment. Now, if Beverly had been just a normal person with a normal balance of confidence and insecurity, like the vast majority of…

We'll just have to agree to disagree about who's more fragile…crying isn't my only standard, Beverly really seemed to have no spine at all and that drove me nuts.

And that's a fair point, that "Asian" gets lumped in together and if someone basically is always using an Asian flavor profile even if it's spanning the varied cuisines of the continent, they are going to get called out. But, on the flip, plenty of contestants do just fine cooking mostly Asian inspired food as long as…

I'm a Texan and while I'm happy you haven't experienced racism, I have definitely heard/seen it (I'm white, so I haven't experienced it personally) BUT I'd say "most racist" is hard to quantify and there's plenty of anti-racist people here as well. But dumbass Texans are often some of the loudest racists, or just…

Can you explain the racist subtext? I talk above about how much I hated Beverly's personality and while I wouldn't bully her like they did, I would personally have an impossible time working with her. She was hyperfragile in a way no adult should be. I do remember them picking on her for cooking mostly Asian, but I…

Yeah, I see how anyone's size is relevant (she really didn't seem particularly small, just like a regular thin woman?) They were picking on her because she was way too fragile to work effectively with people in restaurants and they thought they could pick her off easily (because they were total bitches.) I couldn't…

It's embarrassing but I realized that my high-minded defense of watching Top Chef because "I like watching talented people do their thing! I don't like those OTHER reality shows!" totally goes up in flames because I don't like Chopped because it really is just about cooking and I need the personalities and more drawn…

On one hand, come on dude, shouldn't you be over being butt hurt about a "stupid" challenge? They're all "stupid" in that they have arbitrary limits to, ahem, challenge you. But, no the other hand, it's kind of funny he's just like "fuck that."

Yes! I finally think he's hot again!

Average people don't shit on her, they love her. It's music snobs (many of which make their appearance on this site) being contrarians and trying to insist that because she's pretty universally liked and mainstream, she sucks. I find her music pretty dull overall, don't feel much connection it, and have never sought…

Does this current album have any more upbeat songs like Rumor Has It? I have never actually heard an Adele album on purpose but that was at least a kind of fun pop song. For some reason I got the impression this album is all Hello style dour ballads but I'm also way too uninterested to actually listen to it.

But you still get it, right? The vast majority of people either actively love her music or at least admit she's talented. She's inoffensive, and her music is so decidedly un-trendy that it appeals across generations. It's not my thing personally (while I take issue with the term "chick pop" I also am not usually…

I think they were saying that he can still mind control people in his regular night night sleep but not when he's under anesthesia. So it's a particular weakness to his otherwise constant mind control powers, not just the usual "you're helpless under anesthesia" weakness for anyone else.

I read this review when it came out and then forgot about it but just watched it on Netflix. I don't think it proves without a doubt she planned his murder BUT it definitely makes her look like a manipulator and someone barely hanging on to her family and on the cusp of having a big breakthrough in her career. Could…
