Sure, there are leftie veterans - I’m one myself. But the “active duty” part is key. Being a hippie while sending people into battle is about as stark a contradiction in terms as I can imagine.

“My character, who was an extra in the background of the Avengers: Age of Ultron, definitely had immortality, the ability to teleport, and could shoot lasers out if his nipples.”

“In our culture we might have called her a hippie.” Yes, because our culture is full of active-duty generals who me might call hippies. Makes total sense.

... Wait, what?

Princess/General Leia, according to Abrams/Johnson: bloodthirsty warmonger, apparently.

“was longing for peace, and a revolutionary in that way.”

Bathtub sequence, Minority Report.

I sense a vested interest here.

This is the right answer, but it’s not just simpletons. It’s a legal conspiracy to change the definition of “sex trafficking” to encompass all of sex work. And it appears to be working. I’m not really a fan of prostitution, but to label it all as sex trafficking and then pat yourself on the back for your hard work at…

This is one of the worst laws ever.

From their statement, Craigslist isn’t shuting down that section to fight sex trafficking. They are doing it because an overbroad law makes it too risky for them to host anything sex related. Which seems to be the point of the law.

I don’t know . . . a lot of the appeal of the Muppets comes from that “LET’S PUT ON A SHOW!” joyousness. It maybe doesn’t need to be the sole focus, but that whole “we’re a show-biz group creating something for an audience . . . and not doing it particularly well” would be a shame to lose completely. Personally, I’d…

Much like the serrated knives are for bread and the cleavers are for meat, assault rifles are good against large unarmed groups while sniper rifles are good against police.

We’re going to need a bigger loaf.

In the real world, mind control is the only power worth having. Any superpower that can be replaced by machinery, or by a sufficient number of laborers, is kind of pointless. If I could control minds, I could simply waltz into the Koch Brothers’ offices and make them stop being evil. (Who gets to say what “evil” is,…

FLAWLESS. VICTORY.

The Amazon narrative isn’t really true in this one specific instance. This was Bain Capital hollowing them out with debt so they could never invest in improvements, until the business became unsustainable in the face of new challenges

This is all Mitt Romney’s fault.

Just so everyone knows: you have gigantic pieces of shit like Mitt Romney to thank for this happening, folks. Toys R Us was actually doing well as a business before Bain Capital came in and ruined it with debt. They did the same thing to KB Toys too.

I took issue with the subhead that Kryston Ritter was the greatest strength of S1 of JJ. Kilgrave was the reason I kept watching. It was kind of a Batman dynamic where the hero plays the straight man to the much more interesting villains. They even share the “became as hero because villians traumitized me” backstory.

How can such false notes survive in what appears to be a passion project for all involved?
