So many guys are dead positive they alone know everyone’s thoughts and desires despite having only heard a story second or third-hand. Lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.

True. Except over at Jalopnik they printed the whole speech and they’re having a really cool discussion that otherwise wouldn’t have happened.

Conceded.

This ad exists solely to counter the “she ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a diet coke” criticisms. Women are embarrassed to order diet soft drinks now.

What do all the “make it plain” things mean? I’ve never heard that and I grew up in a fundamentalist church in the 1960s.

I’m an old who recently sublet my couch to a 25-year old. He had a theory (based on some article he read) that cheese gets moldier in the fridge so he left pizza out for like a week. Asked to cite his sources, he found something about blue cheese that didn’t make sense to me and turned out to be irrelevant. We had…

You are president of the fan club I want to join.

Okay but electric toothbrushing feels to me like it just disintegrates food particles into tiny dust particles that remain all over your teeth, now too small to brush away. My dentist told me lots of people feel that way, so that proves I’m not weird.

That narrator’s voice tho.

You know, it sucks that they used MLK’s speech to sell trucks, but counterpoint: A lot of people who needed to hear MLK’s speech got to hear it in what might be the only way to make them listen.

and the school nor the police are not releasing further information.

Are you trying to say that all that “outrage” was just you emailing them nasty letters? And by “reversing themselves,” they just simply never said they’re banning men? Because they kinda weren’t, since men were welcome to work with them in other capacities? You seem like a pathological liar.

Have you done the festival? No? They are federally funded. You want proof from their website? You’re an idiot.

I confess that I’m a bit fascinated by all this, so thank you for being my temporary internet soulmate. Although I think you misunderstood about him saying he sued them (it looks like he only said he could’ve sued them), there’s a billion contradictions in what he says. Not to mention the links, as you pointed out!

Apropos of what you just said about secondary also ran placating type things, you’ll never believe what I just found out. The women’s playwright #1MPF 2017 was the second #1MPF that year. The first one is the regular one. So in 2017 they added the women’s playwright event. It looks like it was the only Chicago #1MPF…

This deserves a galaxy of stars.

It looks like the 2016 Chicago festival happened and it focused on women-identified playwrights. So they didn’t reserve themselves.

Their website says they partner with theaters and other organizations in each city, and apparently they make enough from ticket sales to donate profits to local causes. They list their contributors. There’s nothing about federal funding. Typically when an organization receives a grant, that info appears on their site.

What cracks me up most is that he’s literally talking about one minute.

It doesn’t say anything about race.
