“I get recasting a role for an ongoing show or a revival if a cast member dies, but recasting a role for a table reading of a previously produced script just seems kind of tasteless.”

Oh, fuck off.

I just use a q-tip and basically wash around, like you do. Don’t push just swab.

Me too! Exactly this. I’ve told this to people, and they act like I’m crazy. I wish people were as universally insistent on vaccines as they are about NEVER EVER putting a Q Tip near an ear.

I’ll bite.. as a heavy travaller, while I can’t (and won’t speak for EVERYONE on the plane, I can give some reasonable answers to this):

This response legit made me laugh.

Window sitter here. Standing up not an option if I wanted to. I get up when my seat mates are pushing their way out. I move over, and try to get my overhead out before getting into th aisle. I then wait for a break before getting into the aisle walking out (don’t want to cut off those who already have their head…

I do the exact opposite; I stand up as soon as the plane takes off

That’s uh.. AN interpretation, for sure. For somebody with critical reading skills, it sure sounds like he’s saying “If you want to make this movie political, that’s your prerogative. But that comes secondary to acknowledging these guys as heroes.”

He’s not asking them to do that, he’s saying if you’re going to do that make sure you pay respects to the troops first.

I interpret that as more “say whatever you want about politics around the event, just do it AFTER you praise the guys who actually died in the attack” more than “CONNECT THIS TO CLINTON!!!”.

I listen to NPR over the air pretty much all the time. So I guess I am no one.

in my experience the card reader doesn’t work 1% of the time.

No, this was push back against victim blaming, people who were blaming women for getting raped because they were drunk. The argument isn’t that women should be allowed to get drunk so they could misbehave, it was that women should be allowed to get drunk and not have to worry about getting raped.

At the risk of outing myself as having terrible taste in film, does anyone else find most of his work unwatchable? I’ve just never understood the appeal of such a high violence to plot ratio and it’s really off-putting to me.

“...I’d think they’d celebrate a law enforcement officer going 114mph to a “man with a gun” call.”

>the inherent nature of women is to take care of every child they see

So women are clearly superior parents to men and so if they’re doing anything wrong to a child and there’s a man around, it must be him using his evil man powers to hypnotize her into being a bad parent?

Got it. How could I have ever implied you were…

“ but the inherent nature of women is to take care of every child they see.”

Honestly, I took your initial post as trying to absolve the mother of responsibility for what happened to the child too; like you were saying the stepfather used brainwashing to control her mind and basically strip her of her free will.
