You may have read the other comments and realized this but I will point out that turning raw milk into cheese makes it considerably safer to consume. The article you’ve posted indicates as much (although if you read the processes that make this so only as being inferior to pasteurization, you might have missed it).

As long as you’ve got a protection plan for those kids who God cursed by having them be born to those idiots, I’m cool with this.

In Korea, asking if a girl is “Russian” is code for asking if she’s a prostitute.

You’re conflating the argument. She’s not black enough for you, per your earlier post her casting is an affront because she’s too light-skinned and doesn’t have full enough facial features to be “black enough,” to play this role.

Yeah people keep throwing that post around, but I think the position ignores the point that Zoe Saldana has also been excluded from taking some roles because of her ethnicity. She’s stuck in this weird spot where for some folks she’s “too colored” to play some roles, and to some folks “not colored enough,” to play…

One thing I’m wondering is,while your choice,and CarnyAsada’s choice are great,A) whom else was the role offered to,and B)what was the availability of those people in making a determination on who took the role? People fail to realize,actors take on commitments and contracts months,if not years in advance. If you’re…

Except that everything they said turned out to be true and all the science they practiced actually worked. Except for that they were frauds?

For all the hate, vitriol, subtle and overt racism that was aimed at this man over the last eight years, did he not handle it with uncommon grace and dignity? I never asked President Obama to be a perfect President, such a thing is an impossibility. But he played the long game, never panicked, never showed fluster,…

Or she just had the best audition. But, no, faux outrage instead. I forgot this is a gawker site.

Exactly - it’s like they’re just completely unaware of the fact that ACTING is the entire point of acting.

The other thing is that nobody seems to understand that actors look for parts playing people that are unlike themselves because that’s the real challenge of acting. And if they can pull it off competently it’s amazing and brings them prestige. That’s why actors get more respect for playing people they don’t resemble.

And it’s a valid criticism. But assuming that an actress with darker skin would necessarily carry sympathies closer to those of the real person is in and of itself a rather shallow thought. Sure, they could have found a better actress or they might have definitely could have found a better make up artist, but it’s not…

What’s next, we’re going to find out those are costumes and not really their own clothes? Oh, horror.

Alright, I’ll take the hate. Mad Max Fury Road is not that great of a movie. It’s smart for a blockbuster ‘splosion-fest, but it’s not actually all that smart. It HAS an ecological gimmick, but it doesn’t say anything about it. It HAS a sexist main hero and strong women, but it doesn’t really say anything about…

This article conveys many of my own arguments about the bombings, the imperative to use them, and the reason they were dropped:

And the randomness of it as well. Nagasaki was never even meant to be a target. I was at my employer’s factory. It is ground zero as the backup target when the clouds over Kokura prevented that city from being hit.

You’re right, what I should have done is reading a book. But unfortunately, since what I did was reading books, I have no option but to know that the actual estimates of casulties for Operation Downfall vary wildly, some even being as low, if we can use such a word for a damned huge slaughter, as one tenth of the…

Thank you. The depth of the usual arguments about Hiroshima and Nagasaki’s morality is absolutely risible, a kind of post hoc, ergo propter hoc rationalization that states something in the lines of “America never does inmoral things, therefore dropping the nukes must not be inmoral”, with a couple of lines about…

THERE’S A LADDER RIGHT THERE, BRO

Isn’t that a ladder?!
