Yay! Lets have a child arms race!

I think you're being unfair, it's a well-known antinatalist argument.

Environmentally, dogs are bad news. One medium-sized dog has a bigger carbon footprint than an SUV...

So he self-defined as not stupid, yet wasn't smart enough to understand regression toward the mean and the actual research showing that smart biological parents don't have smarter kids than not smart parents, all other things being equal.

Maybe it's an Aperol Sprizz?

Yeah, this article supports the European stereotype of Americans as prudish and puritanical. Nacktkultur is a cool word, but an even better term (in my opinion!) is Frei Koerper Kultur - free body culture.

What's the first prominent women's blog that springs to mind, here and now?

I imagine "things get weird" refers to the too close, suffocating, professional/personal dynamic between Stewart's character and Binoche's character, since there's no lesbian relationship between them in the film. They read lines to each other, and the characters they read have a lesbian relationship, but that's it.

There's a male director in the movie, and Moretz's character has a love interest...but yeah, they're basically add-ons to the film!

He did, but it's even more interesting than that: The movie is about an actress who had an affair with the director of her first play when she was 18. The movie highlights the parallels between the play-within-the-movie and the experiences of the characters in the movie, and it reaches a whole new level of weird when

I saw it at a film festival recently, and it was decidedly meh. I really wanted to like it, and I like what they were trying to do...but it just left me cold. It was intellectually interesting but I just didn't care about the characters.

Not when both dictionary definitions say "colloquially, these things mean the same thing now".

I need to know more about this Victorian porn.

Oh quite possibly, I wasn't saying it was THE most annoying mix up. Just the one that I noticed :)

Yeah, I mean it in the earlier sense. A judge should be disinterested but not uninterested, going by what I learned in school. If I accept that disinterested and uninterested now mean the same thing, then I have to accept that literally can now mean figuratively, and that's a step I'm not willing to take.

unimpressed and unaffected by, or even disinterested in, the women around them.

Mine went away when I took three omega 3 tablets per day for a month or so. I recommended it to my little brother and he had the same experience. YMMV!

It was weird here in the suburbs of Munich, there was about 15 minutes of fireworks, shouting and screaming and then it stopped completely. Like everyone looked at the clock and realised they'd have to get up for work today.

Hai, I'm a psychologist. Literally.
