Counterpoint - it’d never happen because western filmmakers are actually familiar with the western world, but there’d be just as much of an outcry if this was an image of the NY skyline with the Sears Tower photoshopped into it or an image of the Paris skyline with Big Ben added. It’s fucking stupid and it deserves to…

Perspective- We need to appease our Chinese investors if we ever hope to make a buck.

I think it’s the fact that the surgery failed, and he lost even the use of prosthetic hands that he had before, and as such, lost his job as he was unable to perform the work anymore.

Once I found it, it was so obvious I can’t believe I didn’t see it right off.

You can wear it over your ass, but your ass can’t sit on it. I think. Flag rules are weird.

But its ok to wear it as a swimsuit.

i also really respect - as a fellow ex-mormon - that she doesn’t shy away from saying that the church fucked her up. i like that she calls out specific behaviors and dialogues and people who told her the wrong things. i’m impressed she does it with as much gentleness and dignity as she does.

I respect her so much. She has some very biting things to say about purity culture in general and it is wonderful.

Keep fucking rocking, Elizabeth Smart! That’s all I’ve got. I have no snark or cynicism to give. Just keep being an amazing human being.

The mistake that was made was having it presented by Gore. That politicized the issue.

With the brainwashed Conservatives gone reactionary, there doesn’t seem to be anything we can do. Everyone who works to reduce emissions can have their work undone by idiots turning all their lights on, or “rolling coal” because they see smart people as a outgroup, and irrationally want to hurt us all to hurt this…

Sad thing is, people actually think like that.

Hmm after Obama becomes president we have all these issues all of a sudden, how come no one heard about this when Bush was president?

They repeatedly yell at you to be ready when its your turn on the line. They can’t physically empty your pockets for you.

In fairness, there DO seem to be plenty of folks who wait in the long line and then, when it's finally their turn, take freaking forever to get their shit through because they have pockets full of change, jewelry all over, a jacket, a belt, tall laced boots that are double-knotted and three bags (each with a laptop).…

I think the obvious answer would be that instead of *log* book, where the projectionist recorded what happened, it was more of a *schedule* book, so he could see ahead of time what he needed to prepare and who he needed to prepare it for.

What’s better, make him a felon and throw him in jail for a few years, have him come out and most likely be unable to find a reasonable job? Then we’ll complain he and other low-earners are hurting the economy. Seems like we can stop this cycle by forgiving 17 year olds who made a very idiotic—that ultimately would be…

“Maricopa County”

69 counts of indecent exposure? Nice.

I think kids deserve a second chance, but offering them the military or jail is unacceptable. There’s no choice there. A second chance is about rehabilitation and decreasing recidivism. It should not manifest as what is basically tantamount to forced conscription.
