Wasn’t Cornwall famous for piracy - well, at least, smuggling?

Because I was home most of the day and don’t have access to the account at work I would like to respond to this. I definitely think cancel culture is a thing, and that innocent people have caught up in examples such Isabel fall. But cancel culture can go after deserving targets , and I unambiguously believe Spacey…

Technically not. Civil juries do not find that something did or did not happen; they find someone liable or not. The distinction is subtle, but not irrelevant. They found that spacey was not liable for molesting Rapp in 1986 - but that does not mean they found that he actively did not molest him; It just means they…

Yeah, sorry about that. I did finally realize that after a reply or two.

Its Allenmorphs. Animorphs that can only animorph into the form of a middle manager nearing retirement named Allen

What else would Milligna000 do except take the most bad-faith interpretation of something?

but there’s a disturbing amount of people that try to be the biggest virtue signaler, one of them even posts here regularly.

That’s what’s so infuriating about her “well everyone is entitled to their opinion, you shouldn’t be canceled for having an opinion!” take

Workin’ hard, maxin’, not relaxin’ or cool
Hung out with a dozen Yoders outside of the school
When a coupla Mennonites who were brazen and young
Started making fun of my Ordnung
I started to turn my cheek but my mood went south
I said “Keep my old ways out your fucking mouth”

I wound up for a slap, but as it came near

“You don’t all have to agree on everything—that would be insane and boring.”

As a 50-year-old, while I know it has an important place in conversation, I’m so fucking sick of hearing the word “trauma”. It seems like trauma’s the excuse for being self-centered and a bigot. People act like trauma is a virus that, once infected, can be an excuse for almost anything.

Funny because the last time I saw a picture of Depp I thought he was Helena Bonham Carter dressed as a Tim Burton character.

Can any of these celebrities just listen to a trans person for a minute before spouting off nonsense?  We aren't from fucking Jupiter, gender might be a more complicated subject then they think but its not rocket science.  I will always be in awe that so many people think a rich billionaire needs defending.

More like they get raked over the coals if they give anything resembling spoilers. 

Will it come with blackjack and hookers?

People are stupid, but people are also continually barraged with capitalist propaganda (advertising, both explicit and disguised). Who has time to get politically active when you’re exhausted from commuting an hour each way to a job that doesn’t pay enough, and spend money you don’t have on things you don’t need to…

Context matters. Laura Linney’s subplot *in isolation* is sad but sweet. Laura Linney’s subplot in relation to *the rest of the movie* can easily be interpreted misogynistic, given that practically every male character gets a nice uncomplicated happy ending where all of their desires are met and they aren’t expected…

Oh, yeah. Yahoo bought it for $1.1B and had to sell it to the Wordpress guy for $3M. Their most profitable attempt at marketing to the userbase has been digital crabs that swarm your page, and a bunch of useless blue checkmarks that people can buy on your behalf and make your username unreadable. The discourse is…

I’ve been going down movie memory lane with two Gen Z’ers...not my own kids, but my wife’s younger siblings. Back to the Future fell utterly flat, which was a shame. But a TON of Spielberg holds up, it’s pretty crazy.

Also, the original described as “campy”?  In a decade filled with cheesy alien and monster invasion films, the original War of the Worlds stands out to me as being a genuinely horrifying film.  The special effects have also held up remarkably.
