“This is the poison of celebrity culture: The fact that someone can think that just because they’re loved, they can do what they want. It grosses me out.” — Zach Galifianakis

I definitely agree with you. I wasn’t trying to imply that her consenting to go into his apartment was consent for the shittiness that followed, just that it could be reasonably construed by Ansari that she had a sexual interest in him (which does NOT mean, as you pointed out: “I want to fuck tonight” or “I’m down for…

Somewhat unprompted sharing of my semi-relevant experience, sorry:

The very reason that I (as a new-to-it sub, only had two Doms and I knew them very well as friends -for years- before our sexual relationship happened) haven’t even looked for another lover or Dom. Risky enough to try to meet up with someone from the internet for a coffee or dinner or friendly sex. Add some gentle…

Thank you! Sorry, I just saw your comment. My notifications have been a little hairy.

did Jalopnik send you here :)

“and then half the Second Amendment again”

dunno why, but i really liked this one.

I see the resident rape apologist is out and already starred. Fantastic. Here’s why I don’t buy that men “don’t understand what’s going on with women”: because it’s bullshit. There have been multiple studies that have proven over and over again that men do understand body language and non-verbal cues, they just choose…

Oh sure. Obviously Lucas didn’t sit there and single-handedly craft these movies by hand. But his sensibilities were the filter through which all his collaborators’ hard work flowed, and it’s what gives the movies their philosophy and personality. Without that it’s just another franchise. We have plenty of those.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the opposing team getting to choose where the penalty was enforced (in case the penalized team needs a 2pt conversion).

That’s an interesting rule.

I don’t want to grow up. I’m a Toys R In Their Original Packaging kid.

Kind of a blessing in disguise for racists to film their true feelings for all the world to see. Lord knows nobody was believing the black people when they reported all the racism they witnessed.

Can I get this framed?

“and who said that action movies with female protagonists don’t do any box office.”

I remember this - his basis was that the Halle Berry Catwoman movie and the Jennifer Garner Elektra movie both bombed. Which would be like saying “we shouldn’t make any male superhero movies, look at how bad Steel and Howard the Duck…

If I thought for even a second that she didn’t relish the lies, I’d feel slightly sorry for her. But I don’t. She comes from a family of sanctimonious liars and there’s literally zero evidence that any of this is even slightly disturbing to her. Like her father, she appears to relish the Big Lie just as much as the…

No. Parents should be held accountable for a child’s diet & exercise, but that does not equal controlling their weight. Weight gain/loss is dictated by your metabolism, which is dictated largely by genetics. Food and activity can influence metabolism, but are never the deciding factor in how it will behave.
