If ‘The Slap’ had been a movie scene, audiences would have been cheering Smith on.

So what is ‘toxic masculinity’ and why is Hollywood in favor of it until it happens to THEM?

You’re an idiot.

Of course not. The only people who are/were better off because of slavery are white people. White’s did and still are profiting on the backs of black and brown people.

But again, you’re an idiot.

When recreational marijuana was legalized here in Oregon, we were told that the new taxes would do away with all the state’s budget shortfalls.

A couple of years later, we were facing furloughs because there wasn’t enough money to keep paying us all (I work at a community college). So where the hell did all that money…

Maybe he’s playing Dr. Mordrid.

I had a $20 toaster oven from WalMart for more than 20 years, and I cooked everything that would fit in it, rather than the oven.

Toast tended to be crisper on one side than the other, but it was a dream for most stuff. I’m replacing it now only because it’s too old and I had to move, so it’s a good time to update.

Better now while he’s still around to appreciate them.

It is a fact, however, that the original ST universe and the MCU are the same universe.

Clue: Punk on the bus

No one living now was alive in 1865, so that’s a really STUPID question.

For the other ones - I don’t know. I’m just pointing out that these are not easy questions with easy answers.

I’m actually lucky enough to be able to prove my black ancestry, but I’m lily white. Would I qualify? There are arguments on both sides.

I love ‘The Kid’ - it’s a lot deeper than it looks on the surface, one of those ‘better than it ought to be’ movies.

It’s also really funny, and introduced me to the fabulous Emily Mortimer.

My favorite is Pocket Stables, but it’s not on that list.

Water filters, too.

Sometimes ‘penny’ stocks.

Except people trade real currency for those bits.

Idiots do, I mean.

Maybe change the property tax laws, then.

If it floats, it’s a boat. So tax the boats.

Have you ever done genealogy? It’s extremely difficult - records disappear or never existed, female branches can’t be traced because of name changes, etc. Asking people to PROVE they’re descended from slaves could be beyond the means of many people who should be eligible.

The Japanese reparations were relatively…

Yeah, take me, for example (with a side note that I would not accept reparations even if deemed eligible): 

I’m 1/64 black, am pale as a light pink rose;
The ancestors I’m able to trace were free blacks - there was probably/maybe slavery further back, but I’m unable to show it;
There’s more Cherokee in my family line…

I’m bemused that we celebrate violence over and over and over again in the movies, but we act like a slap AT THE OSCARS is the end of everything.

I don’t think Smith did the right thing by any means, but the goddamn pearl clutching is hypocritical.

I knew that was an obscure joke when I made it.

Wrightsville is a fictional town in the Ellery Queen series, and they always describe ‘The Square (which was round)’.

Were you in Wrightsville?
