I’m a bit of a word nerd, and I’ve always been fascinated by “dirty words”.

I think firefighters are peak traditional masculinity; they are (generally, obvs) big strong dudes doing dangerous work to protect everyone else. It is an unalloyed Good Thing™. A lot of bravery and self-sacrifice from guys who work out a lot, which sounds like a solid recipe for hotness.

“I assumed my dad would leave my mom but I’m shocked - SHOCKED - that he would cheat on her” is certainly a take, I guess.

“We are on your side, and if you don’t see that I will unleash the full weight of the Establishment on you.”

What movie is that from? The Pursuit of Hat-penis?

Of course it is! Pro-black sentiment is anti-Southern because there are no black people in the South.

So much of this isn’t stupidity/ignorance, it’s dishonesty. Like the NRA “tyrannical government” talking point, it’s a bullshit deflection used mostly for convenience. NRA members just like owning guns, and these people just don’t want to wear masks, mostly because wearing one makes it harder for them to deny the…

Or Scotsmen!

It seems like they edited nudity (*sigh*) out of an ostensible “family movie” and not out of a violent action movie aimed at an “older crowd”. I don’t personally care in this specific instance - I don’t think it significantly affects the artistic vision of Splash, and I don’t remember her nudity being sexualized.

I was a 90s Janet Stan, probably peaking with my purchase of the janet deluxe cd set, featuring a 2nd cd of remixes and stuff. On there, you will find Janet singing Again in French, which is, uh... look, I’m not fluent in French, but I live in Canada so I hear a lot of it. Her accent is no bueno. It lacks all the…

While admittedly not in the target demographic, of the men listed I think Trevante Rhodes is the closest to Morris Chestnut Fine.

Great read! And as I learn more about human beings, the more I realize that we aren’t a fraction as rational as we want to think we are. In this case, Brennan will never publicly admit to a change of heart, because she is extremely unlikely to have any kind of change of heart simply because it will invalidate her…

The spin on this story is heavy-handed and confusing (at best).

Rap music is super easy to make! You just need to make some beats on your computer and write some words that rhyme. I figure it would take about five months to get good enough to make a living at it.

That sort of glibness regarding other people’s lives is entirely unsurprising. “I’m willing to toss as many poors into the disease meat grinder as is necessary to keep this business alive.”

I believe the benefits of testing at this stage are that we can identify who is sick and restrict their movements, and increase the mobility of those not infected/recovered. I have no idea how that would work - the incubation period means people would have to be re-tested every few days, possibly? But that’s the…

The reviewer routinely compares the show to his expectations and finds the show doesn’t meet them. If you have different expectations for the show, you will have a different experience.

OTC meds will not effect the outcome, no. You can manage your symptoms (i.e., fever), although there is some evidence that ibuprofen (Advil) has some other negative effects specific to COVID-19 that are still being researched. But there is nothing that will speed your recovery.

Ah, but network cameras make it worthwhile. And remember, she only performed once - it wasn’t that much work.

Because there’s no prize, the show isn’t constrained by any formal rules. I suspect that the “voting” is heavily influenced by producers, if not an entire fiction. So when obvious legends (who couldn’t recognize Patti LaBelle and Dionne Warwick’s voices?) go home before terrible performers like Gronk White Tiger, I…
