*spits out drink* Seriously?

What you’re describing is literally the first of the six applicable defining criteria for functional slack fill (which is legal). Doesn’t matter whether you agree with the “it helps reduce breakage” argument (and I think your basis for that belief is not grounded in solid physics) - it only matters whether they’ve…

excitement of driving an Audi fast through Seattle’s iconic winding highways (are those iconic?)

Iconic, yes. Winding, no. The Alaskan Way Viaduct has been slowly but steadily torn down as we dug a big, stupid tunnel underneath (biggest in the world!) to replace it. I am...thrilled that they managed to shoot a car…

Their terms of service have actually been worse in the past.

Used to be (as I recall - this was a few years ago):
-A mandatory two-year contract.
-They have the option to increase your monthly fee at any time (to any level).
-They can cancel your account at any time, but you can’t.
-They can bill you for the full ticket…

You wouldn’t download a car.

Look, this is utterly ridiculous, but I must admit... I definitely did a double-take on that left-most thumbnail. Because my brain initially parsed it as,
“Red Romulan warbird?”

YUP. Came here to say “eye-tracking” though :) It’s not impossible to do what this article is suggesting (with current technology, even) - just not as easy as he’s suggesting.

Oh, he didn’t get up and leave to go to a prescheduled fundraiser like he usually does when he’s pretending to be offended by a thing?

First off - I’d agree I don’t see much connection between that scene and Dushku’s story, and while it’s awful that this happened adjacent to the set of a beloved action film, let’s not blame anyone except the accused sexual predator until there’s a reason to do so.

One dispiriting theory as to why Three Billboards has done so well with audiences, critics, and award voters is that it entertains the comforting thought that there could be hidden decency in the deplorable—be they racist cops, marching white supremacists, or just the asshole relative you argue with on Facebook.

“Hidde…

Have you ever seen a show set in a school before? Turns out, the adults are often fully-realized characters too. And sometimes go on dates with other adults!

Dude, dude, dude. You didn’t invent this. And not everyone is the same, or likes the same things. The only thing it sounds like you’re into is making assumptions about people whose bedrooms you’ve never been in. Just stop.

Yeah, I mean - the comment literally says, (She sometimes needed alone-time to do that.)

Sure sounds like these two were engaged in a healthy dialogue about their sexual needs.

We’re done here.

Makes sense.

1810?

Wasn’t Japan still under sakoku at the time, til the American gunboats showed up, like half a century later? Who was allowed to travel there at this time?

The Dutch could go there, I think, maybe, in one tiny part of the country where I don’t think persimmons grow?

My honest read on that scene is that I don’t think he thinks he can get away with lying to her, because he knows she’s strong with the Force. He doesn’t say anything about them until she admits “they were nobody”. He doesn’t feed her that line in any way - just asks her if she’s always known the truth, and tells her…

I’m with you - I actually rewatched The Force Awakens the night before taking my mom out to see TLJ (my third time seeing it), and appreciated it much more. Starkiller Base is still dumb and perfunctory, but all the character stuff works a lot better.
