Ah, got it now! Thanks - I think I was hung up on the previous version, which made it sound like color was the one thing that never got near her.

Honestly, it still doesn’t make sense. “She dresses conservatively in everything but color” - but she somehow wears a dizzying array of hues??? WTF? The woman may be head-to-toe frump, but she does it in vibrant shades - so much so that she could be a tropical parrot (if they came in only one color). For me, that’s…

A male comedian, you mean. It’s not irony - it underlines the sad fact that that no one listens to women until a man endorses what they say.

Jeez, it’s like he’s channeling my dad, who used to call Susan Sarandon, Susan Saranwrap. *eyeroll* It’s a deathless playground insult from a 5 year old.

Because harassment and sexual assault is about power and domination over the unwilling - it’s no fun degrading, controlling and humiliating someone who’s not only paid to be there, but is consciously allowing you to do what you want. It’s like going hunting in a tame deer park - there’s no thrill in shooting them if…

Yeah, it is. You’re literally too stupid to argue with, and I’m not wasting any more time on you.

Ooh, ad hominem fallacy! Are you planning to collect the whole set?

You mean “environmental influenced changes,” like the “environmental discoloration” that you think is somehow responsible for scar pigmentation? Are darker keloids now the equivalent of older outdoor sculptures and building facades, so that a good cleaning with a high-pressure hose is all that’s needed to restore the…

First, that’s a massive false equivalence.

1) “unless this is a 10 year old?” FYI, you don’t do disingenuous well.

If you’re going to start name calling, you can fuck right off. Or do you “just don’t understand why that would be upsetting”?

I’m “reacting really intensely” because you posted an incorrect statement that “non-genetic factors” can alter eye color, then asked me for clarification when I pointed out why it was wrong, then attempted to spin that clarification to support a statement that makes no sense whatsoever. Rewording your original…

No, it actually isn’t, because the iris in his damaged eye didn’t become brown due to anisochoria, which is what you initially stated. Now you’re trying to claim “eye appearance can change” because “non-genetic coloring” is somehow a thing - outside of listening to Crystal Gayle or glaucoma medication that has the…

Well, not now because he’s deceased, but essentially, yes - that enlarged pupil made his eye look black. Anisochoria doesn’t cause a shift in iris pigmentation from blue to brown, so he didn’t develop heterochromia due to that eye injury. Since Bowie was a teenager when he was injured, his iris would have already…

Nope - eye color is genetic. I think you’re incorrectly attributing Bowie’s “brown” eye with some sort of color change due to later-life damage, but his blue eye color actually never changed. What did alter was the size of his pupil, which became permanently dilated due to Aniscoria. To make a long explanation short,…

That’s not true - as they’ve identified more and more genes responsible for eye pigment, as well as how they function, your older slam-dunk Punnet squares have had to be revised. If two blue-eyed parents are carriers of the allele for brown eyes, then they can have a brown-eyed child.

So you’re telling me you basically travel with grossly overweight luggage. Only two bags in cabin, buddy!

I always travel with my cat - I basically have no choice as he was a traumatized rescue who imprinted on me, so that makes me his support human. He gets a version of kitty Ativan about 2 hours before takeoff which takes the edge off. He still hates flying but he curls up in his carrier, naps and eats cat treats all…

Please - it’s “Le Guin.” You really need to have seen more than one film - especially one you “didn’t get”- before you start recycling second-hand observations involving an author that you clearly are also not familiar with. Allen has recycled the nauseating concept that young ingenues are inexplicably hot for his…

Do you get that the “pin” metaphor here means putting a pin back in a grenade? Is there ever a good time to explode one in your midst?
