You assume HR will be on your side

I got married in late September and we now take an anniversary vacation every year in the last week of September. IT IS Amazing!

No crowds, cool weather, cheap lodging, yet all the attractions that close for the winter usually do so around the first of October, so everything is still open.  Also, you don’t have to…

the 1st half of the first season of that show was amazing, the 2nd half was OK.  2nd Season decided that this weird side character that was fun in small doses was the guy everyone was tuning in for.

You are right in the damned if you do/damned if you don’t aspect of this. At the end of the day they are selling how attractive someone is, which automatically reduces them to a surface instead of a person. So there really is no “pro-women” way to say the most important thing about this person is their appearance.
I…

Knives is better of without him.  At least Scott and Ramona deserve each other.

The Scott/Ramona relationship is setup like a videogame relationship. Male protagonist whose main demonstrable skill is fighting beats enough bosses and gets the girl at the end.

What is ‘80s robot from that Muppet movie reboot doing these days? He would be good

I’m pretty sure that was on the agenda for the SALT III Treaty talks with the Soviet Union in the 90s but the collapse of communism let this crime continue unpunished.

When my wife and I I did it 10 years ago we were amazed at how the prices rose when people found out we were getting married. He dress ended up being blue and costing 60% of what the identical white one cost.
We ended up doing it pretty cheaply, all things considered, but there was a constant battle not to pay the…

All those renaissance artists paid the bills with a series of commissions from the church and various merchant houses. Who was more creative was up for debate.
At one point the Merchants of Venice used the fact that they owned the debt of the Fourth Crusade to shanghi it into sacking several of their rival trade cities…

I think you are correct that we as a society are trying to make a decision, but I don’t think it’s the same decision you lay out. It is easy to say what Marriage is for. Marriage is to legally and culturally cement a particular kind of family.
The question is: Do we care about that kind of Family?
Do we believe that two…

If someone tells you something you are not willing and/or able to do is a requirement to stay with them, it’s hard not to feel bad about it and it’s hard not to view it as an inadequacy on your part.

I remember watching it before dawn on the USA network in the 90s as I ate my cereal before work, but I also remember that not being my first encounter with it. I had seen it a couple years earlier but had never been able to really watch it. The USA run was the first time I noticed there was an overarching plot.

I have weirdly fond memories of the time Kwai Chang Caine got Jury duty on Kung Fu: The legend continues. *All* the supporting characters from his Son’s Police Precinct all hung out in the courtroom audience because they knew weird improbable things were going to happen and they wanted to be there to see it. 

Mr. Incredible had a pretty great workout routine. Superman is a *lot* stronger than him.
He seemed to be abound the Thing or Colossus on the strength scale

My wife has always insisted on watching all the credits, and I’ve come to really appreciate it. We don’t know any of those people, but I’ve come to view it as a time for meditation on the movie I just saw.
Some have told me that this is more effort than some movies are worth, but I think that if I spent 2 hours…

The thing I always wonder about guys like Superman: How *do* they work out? When you can lift buildings what do you do to get in reps our build strength? Does flying burn calories? (I’m sure it does with wings, but Superman just sort of wills himself into the air)
How do you get bulky when tanks aren’t heavy enough to…

They are fine.  The fresh-made ones at the locally owned lobster shack are better.

“Middle school aged bullshit like this is holding back esports from becoming a respectable viewing experience.”

The Photos weren’t for him. The Federation was carting out a bunch of almost-retired heroes from back in the day to fly around on the new Enterprise.
A few pictures of Kirk in the new chair, Checkoff at the Helm next to Sulu’s kid, Scotty over at that engineering station he never uses on the bridge, loop around…
