If the “clanginess” puts you off, I’d suggest focusing on his pre-90s catalog. Rain Dogs, as I mentioned, is fantastic, and much more conventional.

Most importantly: if he were white, there is no way in hell he would be dead right now. As a white man, I could do what he did every fucking day of the week and not be shot for it. If somehow I WERE shot for doing what he did, the “a man’s home is his castle” and “stand your ground” crowd would hold me up as a martyr.…

Mine would probably be Rain Dogs, Bone Machine, Nighthawks at the Diner, and Frank’s Wild Years, with Mule Variations close behind. Frank’s Wild Years is, in my opinion, probably his most underrated album. It seems to slip your mind the second you’re not listening to it, but the minute to start playing it again, it…

“One of the most powerful women in government”?! Excuse me, I think you’ll find she’s THE most powerful woman in this government. On her hangs control of the single branch of government not completely dominated by the right, the one branch of government with the inclination and ability to stand up to the Trump Regime.…

*hangs shiny new “Most Openminded” award next to Rain Dogs poster.

My biggest challenge of faith as an attempted Christian is my lingering suspicion that Paul’s conversion wasn’t authentic, and that he joined up to undermine the religion he couldn’t stop through direct persecution.

Very nicely put. Especially so since your reasoning is based around something I feel particularly strongly about (words having meanings).

I dunno, man. The only times in my life I’ve been frequently hit on were periods where I was in a relationship. While, yes, his question does smack of humblebrag, it’s an entirely plausible humblebrag.

Is falsely (or at least, disingenuously) claiming to be 1/16 Native American really less harmful, though?

This is the very reason I get upset when “pedophile” is used to describe people who have sex with late teenagers. I’m not an apologist, nor am I implying that it’s okay for adults to fuck teenagers. But words have meanings, and pedophilia is an attraction to pre-pubescent children, which is disgusting for different…

If you don’t see accusations of homophobia in recognitions’ comment, you must be unfamiliar with his MO.

Oh, of course that makes him a homophobe. There’s no other reason to be annoyed at your fans trying to pigeonhole your character’s sexuality than because you’re a homophobe. /sarcasm

Not Crosby, Still, Nash, and Young? Would have sworn that was during the time Young was part of the lineup...

Stop, hey, what’s that sound?

Whitefish, MT is a pretty small town. He shouldn’t be that hard to pinpoint.

I can see your concern, but I think Renner has better comedic chops than most people credit him with. Given the right screenplay and the right director, I think he could totally pull it off. Plus, for the more serious parts, I think Renner would beat Pratt hands down (and I say that as a huge fan of Chris Pratt).

I love (black) licorice, and I quite like the buttered popcorn Jelly Bellies. Apparently I am history’s greatest monster.

I still say they need to make a Hawkeye movie based on Matt Fraction’s run.

By “beaten it” what do you mean? You mean you’ve never successfully retired on Swashbuckler difficulty? Or you’ve never gotten a governorship when you retired? Or do you mean you’ve literally been blown out of the water and died in prison every time? Not casting judgement here, just kinda baffled at what you could…

Sid Meier’s Pirates! is the game that made me a “gamer,” (even though I detest the gamer label). I used to watch my dad play it for hours on end, and when I was finally granted the privilege of playing it myself, I was forever hooked.
