I think its worth pointing out that there is a difference between being coded as something because of the way the story frames them versus the way they are translated and voiced. (It looks like people have mentioned this in the thread, but I want to sound smart too.)

If there’s anything you can take to the bank about Republican “Christians,” it’s that they wouldn’t know the first thing about Christianity, and if Jesus actually came back they would personally chase him out of the country or nail him to the cross. 

Not having a permanent address closes a lot of doors, “a year or two of rent” is pretty major.

The main difficulty with getting yourself out of being homeless is having an address, having clean clothes, and being able to shower and groom yourself. $10k would give someone the chance to do all three for the 3-6 months it would take to find a new job. Most homeless are not chronic so. 

Yes, I think the point was that this was as exposed as Gus was willing to be. He was willing to subtle suggest that David might come to his house and try the wine that David had talked about. When David said he hoped Gus would tell him what the wine was like when he tried it, Gus took that as a rejection of his offer.…

They actually teamed up in the TV movie finale to that wonderful series, so this was a reunion of sorts for the two Mikes (Kellerman and Giordello). Interestingly, this review doesn’t even touch on the fact that Gus was openly flirting with David the waiter, confirming a suspicion many of us had long assumed (and one…

Love this reply! It actually ahs the details needed to answer my somewhat sarcastic question and is realistic about how gamestop is a zombie company. 

a lot of words to say, the market is a rigged corrupt joke.

Their ultimate goal is to shutter the stores and go to an online model to prop up the stock price.

First off, thank you for the in-depth analysis.

Second... I now understand what it’s like when I explain something historical to someone with only a very basic understanding of the area around the questions and so much info flies at them that it’s almost drowning. LoL

I’d purposely buy a 2023 Z06, get a Minted Green wrap put on it, and follow the owner of the actual colored car around like...

If you are doing a protein and a veggie for multiple meals per day, you stand a good chance of not hitting that 1200 cal mark. Keep in mind, that’s what bodybuilders do when trying to lean out before competitions. It’s not a diet you’d stick to long term, but it’s highly effective in helping someone lean out,…

Yeah. It kept giving me this Tarantinoesque/Blaxploitationish/pseudo-Revisionist Western vibe, with random RL Black folks thrown in with little reason. It felt like a film that isn’t “bad” so much as uninteresting because its main draw is that it’s well-produced. Outside of Bass, the other characters being included -es…

Huh? Neeson didn’t make racist comments in 2019. He came clean in a story in 2019, about being a racist decades ago in the 70s. The alternative to telling the story is he could have just not.. and we never would have known. But he came clean about it and the growth he experienced in the decades after.

Pretty much this. Like, it feels shitty to say ‘If I give you a big tip up front, what’s your incentive to do the job right?’ but that’s kind of what it’s gotten to. I will tip a LOT because I do feel for the delivery people and service people of the world, but you gotta actually like, do your job properly in order to…

I think that’s a common implication though.

Filing a POA with a bank isn’t an instant thing either; it gets reviewed before being put on file with some due diligence to make sure it’s legitimate.

Sounds like Ms. Williams needs to update her son’s POA if it doesn’t include the ability to transact on her accounts; from the Variety article, it appears to only allow him to make inquiries. Not unusual when the “transact” ability is POA’d to someone else—in this case, very likely her ex-advisor. Now the court’s…

Some stuff doesn’t bug you much right up front. I think most everyone has been there at one time or another, you think “It’s not that bad, I’ll get used to it” but over time the annoyance becomes hatred.

I’m am interior architect that works on a lot of affordable housing, and am actually working on one in Cincinnati at the moment. Ohio Housing Finance Agency (the group you need to get sign off from on your plans in order to get any money) are actually pretty good at making sure the buildings are healthy, sustainable,…
