I think op meant “allow” in the sense of relavence. Shock jokes that are not part of a persons worldview and not comparable to past behavior, disney, their lawyers, and Gunn’s reps should have sought not to “allow” that to affect their business decisions. That’s far different from parsing Trump unending questionable…

My great grandmother who lived to 101 used to complain about that all the time. She even said it once in the food court at the mall. It was unclear if that was a general musing or she thought we were at the airport.

The byproduct of this story is that I found out Orcas, AKA killer whales, are a species of dolphin. I mean, cmon. 

Disagree. Bloat is good for netflix. They have the most of everything. They take a chance on this movie, its crappy, but the buzz is the twist is killer. That leads to new subscriptions for sure. That is literally their model, release a few buzzy things each week, blogs write about it, people sign up, reup, or stay…

My ex was a nurse anesthetist with a great job offer in Huntsville, I managed to snag a gig as part time admissions counselor at a local college. I was gonna be a stay at home parent long term and it seemed like a genuinely awesome place, but we couldnt muster the will to move from the DC burbs, where we lived all our…

Yeah, but with some degree of threat behind it. By that I mean real changes that could have been made in the 10s, 20s and 30s. By the time the 40s came around it was just fearmongering.

My uninformed speculation is that ballhawk controversies get the attention every summer because we need something to talk about. NBA free agency has died down, NFL camps haven’t started nor have NFL domestic abuse investigations progressed to the point of indictment. White knuckle pennant races aren't in the final…

Ugg, sorry you’re getting flamed. Use the ignore button. I got what you were saying.

Yeah, fair point, but so is checking for your closest emergency exit and hands at 10 and 2. If someone official-seeming tells me otherwise I’ve been known to turn my brain off because I’m human.

My dad just educated me on that phrase this morning. You’re in the know. Until this I just had a vague notion that his uncle piloted one and said they were shit, I didnt get the danger of them. My son is 4, and we go to the National Aquarium a lot and it’s right where the duck boats go into the Baltimore harbor. He’s…

He seems to have some demons. I do too. I can’t imagine his life, it has to be stressful, but I do feel for his daughter more than him. Yeah she’s living a dream, but sometimes I think those people are billionaire inmates.

I've been pretty shocked that he's threaded the needle for so long on this shit. I strongly feel theres a racial element here...not the race of the perpetrator but the presumed race of the victims.

Im so glad there's no afterlife, or Carlin would be spinning in his grave.

Gunn was a Troma guy. We are living in outrage world. “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” was played at MoMA, for Christ’s sake. These pieces of shit would have the likes of Sam Raimi, Wes Craven, and Stephen King locked away forever. God Damn their projection and false equivalency.

Yup, what IonizedDare said. The downward angle is what gives the illusion of height. If you look at the south asian and east african cultures that do the ringing that makes one’s neck look extremely long, the actual length of the neck and vertebrae only changes by like a centimeter, the visual effect is achieved by…

Thanks, much appreciated. Not to be hyperbolic, but it’s kinda like Eichmann. His defense was that he was looking at maps and population counts. To an extent I believe that. It’s really hard to see human beings when your job is to see numbers and efficacy and beneficial outcomes. That’s why the law has to change.…

That was supposed to say stage3c. Sorry, if that was confusing. (i also suffer from non-compliant fingers)

Pretty sure she'd be a Domme. Obvs, a lot  of people go the opposite way in scenes than in real life, but I get a vibe.

Most kinksters I know are pretty vanilla in public spaces because you don’t want to get your kicks from some innocent persons eyeballs. And while chokers are pretty tame and worn by non kinky people and the public at large wouldn’t care, if you had a friend who knew YOU were into BDSM  but wasn’t into it themselves tha…

American health care is causing a lot of strain on my family right now. I have heart failure, a blood clot in my heart and mental illness and my mom, who lives with me, was diagnosed with Stage4C breast cancer just 3 days before she was ready to start Medicare. Medicare and Aetna spent 2 weeks fighting about who would…
