Unlike Vader, Kylo Ren is a protagonist. For most of IV and V, Vader was a tool of the emperor, an extremely capable and dangerous tool, but one that had little will and desire of his own, just blind obedience to the emperor’s will.

I also don’t get the need to defend 100% of Chappelle’s routine like it’s some holy scripture. You can like him still, believe he’s funny and smart, AND concede that he missed on some of his jokes. But it fits with these man babies that see the world only in black and white, all or nothing. I’d like to think the…
The people who control money, wealth and levers of power (white people) already see this nation as an us-them divide. Preach to them to fix their view, first. They can actually enact laws that enforce some semblance of fairness, but in fact, they can’t wait to repeal those laws (Voting Rights Act, Affirmative Action).
That’s not how laws work. Criminal laws usually tell you what is illegal to do. This thing sounds like it’ll be enforced by local cops, with a ticket that you’d have to challenge in local court, with local judges presumably cognizant of the local government’s desires. Even if the judge threw the ticket out, the hassle…
Goes hand in hand with people who read an article, then comment saying the article sucks and is irrelevant and shouldn’t be on the site. Like, yeah, but like, you read it, dude.
Yes, it’s all too easy for white people to only consider the klansmen and nazis as The Problematic Whites, when in reality the majority of them voted for the Trumps and the Moores. One of my favorite thoughts and under-my-breath utterances when I’m annoyed by white people is to declare them to be Trump voters.…
As a Chinese person, we do the cash thing, sometimes in the little red envelopes. Gift cards always boggled my mind. White people love using them because giving cash is apparently tacky and means you “didn’t spend any time thinking about the person,” but WTF how are gift cards any better? They’re demonstrably worse…
This is the problem with the rule. The NFL tried to legislate what constitutes possession so that the zebras wouldn’t have to make a judgment call. Of course, this just makes an “NFL possession” incongruous with a real time human consideration of possession. By the eye test, James caught the ball, got a knee down,…
Well you’ve gone and lumped all developing nations together, which is nonsensical, but whatever. I’m not even arguing the point that the numbers don’t bear it out because I wasn’t that welded to the theory that it’s ONLY because of the economics. My point was that economics play a factor in the decision making process.
Well, you can’t hand-wave some numbers in the air and then use them to (hypothetically) support your argument. :) The facts are there, those highly developed nations have low birthrates, and according to that list I linked, it’s clear the more developed the nation, the lower the birthrate. Those are facts. The…
Easy for homogeneous countries to adopt policies like that. These republican jerks don’t want to help out people of color, they just want white people to have more kids so they can replenish their voting base.
There are hotels that allow you to smoke in the room (or rather, don’t explicitly ban you from it). I’m sure if you airbnb, many won’t care if you smoke lightly inside or on their back patio/porch. There are also a few smoking lounges where you can pay a fee to smoke (and some have gear you can use).
You can simultaneously understand Jim’s implication and still feel annoyed he used a dated, hokey aphorism to describe it. It doesn’t help any to keep perpetuating a myth that Asians and Mexicans operating businesses in America can’t or won’t speak English.
No, even worse, they will eulogize him and pray for his family, and conveniently not have to discuss his sexual assault or think about his victim since he’s dead. She will be told to shut up and stop hurting his grieving family by bringing up the past blah blah blah.
This is also quite common in the industry, though the Batali/Bastianich class action settlement made a lot of other restaurant groups redo their systems. The most common culprit was banquets. They want to book lots of them, so they hire a banquet manager, who answers phones and emails to book parties, charges the…
This was well known in the industry. When I lived in NY, I worked at two different restaurants Batali frequented and it was the same thing every time he came in. Always hammered, like blind drunk and always “huggy,” and “hands-on-hip friendly” with all the women in his party and occasionally, some of the serving staff.
Yeah, but your dog is a rabid animal; their dogs are sworn police officers! /s
Yes, the only way he’d go lower than 37% is if Fox News turned on him and started reporting the truth. This would only happen if his ouster was imminent and the puppet masters started pulling their strings. It’s pretty obvious Pence was installed by the Adelsons, Kochs, and Mercers of the world and told to stay away…
There’s no way he didn’t eat the buns. This shithead goon just realized the rest of America thinks Trump’s order is horrifying and backtracked by using “no carbs lol” because he believes his base too dumb to understand the cheese (six slices over four sandwiches!), milkshake, special sauce, tartar sauce, and breading…
