Honestly, whatever strength he has comes less from the ADA and more from SAG-AFTRA. The union has a vested interest in protecting one of their own (especially someone on the level of Jonah Hill), and I’m sure there’s enough legal leeway in his contract convenants to allow him to step away from doing promotion.

Further,…

The world where QueenC thinks that one of the highest grossing movies of the year, a number 1 box office film for three weeks, and had Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for RDJ to boot, is seen as a failure (and, not for nothing, it did this while being R-rated)

This, exactly.

People need to stop conflating nationalities with races and ethnicities. Mexican is a nationality comprised of many races and ethnicities. In fact, a significant proportion of Mexicans are literally called “white Mexicans”, due to much (if not all) of their ancestry being traced back to Europe.

This sort…

The entire role was a commentary on how Hollywood and the award shows lose their collective shit when an actor really “gets” into a role, by doing things like crash dieting, steroids, living as a homeless person, etc., to enhance the verisimilitude of their performance. It hit the nail on the head, SO HARD in fact,…

If this was in Florida he’d definitely get charged. It doesn’t matter if the car is off or that he was asleep. Being in the front seat would qualify as “actual physical control” of the vehicle.

However, if he did the smart thing and refused every breathalyzer, then the police don’t actually possess any incontrovertible…

I don’t know Nevada law, but here in Florida, you don’t need to be pulled over to be charged for a DUI. If the police find you sleeping in the front seat of your car, and they suspect you’re drunk, you can still get popped. 

Thank you for the kind reply.

You’re absolutely right that vocalizations play a major role in how characters are coded and perceived to non-native audiences. The interesting thing about Piccolo is that, in an odd way, he falls into a common trope (thank you TvTropes.org) called the “Bald Black Leader Guy”, which…

I could go further with this, but I’ll keep it brief.

One of the things that people have to consider when discussing the racial relations between black people (specifically African-Americans) and Asians (particularly East and Southeast Asians), is that many communities that were affordable enough for East and Southeast…

The Bentayga and Urus aren’t really competing with one another, regardless of their price/performance/brand relationship.

The people who want a Bentayga are getting a Bentayga; those who want an Urus are getting an Urus. There’s very little cross-shopping between the two because, at that amount of money, you can always…

Having been to plenty of incredibly nice restaurants, if you book a reservation and show up with more people than the reservation allows, at worst, they’d tell any additional people that they’d have to sit elsewhere. The one thing they wouldn’t do is cancel the entire reservation, because now they’d lose out on all of…

I think she’s a shoe-in for greatest female athlete.

The only other one that maybe comes into consideration is a track & field star like Jackie Joyner-Kersee, but even then, Serena was truly dominant for damn-near 20 years, in a sport that is known for having its best women athletes riding off into the sunset around…

Florida has a major turnpike that goes between Orlando and Miami. It’s about 3x longer than the Jersey turnpike as well, but it’s usually ignored because we have two major interstates that it terminates/merges with that are usually taken (I-75 and I-95)

It is interesting, isn’t it?

These chuckle-fucks had absolutely no problem with the FBI going after Hillary Clinton, long after she had stepped away from her official duties as Secretary of State, in regards to her e-mails and e-mail server (and, in all likelihood, it was FBI machinations via James Comey that helped…

Yeah, I can’t imagine this debate happen.

Two people the GOP have their hopes on to flip the Senate — Dr. Oz and Walker — are both fucking up their campaigns (Dr. Oz being an obvious carpetbagger who is antithetical to everything that most Pennsylvanians stand for, and Herschel Walker, who is one headache away from a…

Also, expensive SUVs have a great deal of popularity because many of their buyers like to roll around with large groups of people in-tow. Hard to do that in a low-slung, high-strung, absurdly expensive and relatively hard-to-drive sports car or supercar.

Not for nothing, I know more than a few people of a certain tax…

Honestly, you could take Chrysler, Ram, and Ferrari off the list.

Chrysler and Ram SUV buyers can get a Jeep, and the Maserati Levante Modena S and Trofeo are essentially a Ferrari SUV in all but name (complete with a Ferrari V8 under the hood).

The arbitrary nature of it involved, firstly, punishments for weed that were not in line with other substances far worse from both a health and performance aspect than weed (like alcohol or painkillers), and two, the NFL being able to decide on the length of punishment without there being across-the-board application…

Very true, but what was his season-long suspension for? Weed. Not xanax. Not codeine. Not even PEDs. It was for weed. I agree with you about the further issues (such as the PEDs and alcohol), but his first year-long suspension was because he got popped for weed

So, I get your point about his myriad of other problems,…

You’ve missed my point as well.

Regardless of his other problems, Gordon was suspended for weed, per the NFL policy at that time. I don’t blame teams for not wanting to put him on their team, but his suspensions came, per NFL policy, because of his weed use, which is/was absurd given the propensity of other substances…

What’s even worse are the half-dozen or so players in the past who were suspended for far longer for pissing hot on a drug test because they smoked weed (such as Josh Gordon, who got suspended for a year by these very same Browns, and has effectively been blackballed from the league even after the new CBA in 2020…
