She did play Zach Galifianakis’s wife in a movie.

I said it above, but this is not how normal people interact. What well-adjusted person would walk up to other people they don’t know and say “both of you are stupid”? It seems like a reasonable, if maybe unrealistic, standard to apply to anonymous comments, I think.

Yeah, I thought those were decent enough, and it’s his first film, but...I’ve already seen 4 John Wick movies. And again, I thought this was fine, but this is now like appearing on “Best All-Time Film Debuts”? I mean, please.

I explained that it was a matter of principle for the character, then I said that I guess you hadn’t experienced it, which is fine, and then I said I had, thus making it relatable for me. Don’t know what else I can do, even though by that time you continued to be rude throughout. 

It did, actually, not that that was necessarily the point. Don’t really get the unpleasantness based on absolutely nothing. This is not how normal people interact.

Okay. That’s your life experience. This conversation has officially gone on too long.

Charming as always. I feel like you’re someone who has their pronouns in their linkedin bio.

As with all Curb things, there’s a principle involved. Larry doesn’t feel she should have to thank someone for paying who didn’t contribute financially.

I think this was the second (maybe third?) season, but there was one where Larry only thanks the husband for picking up a check at dinner, instead of the wife as well, on the grounds that she doesn’t work.

Harsh, but I guess pacing wasn’t an issue for you. Agree to disagree.

Featuring Idris Elba, fittingly:

Saw it tonight. It was fun enough, but an A is ridiculous (a little bit of grade inflation to showcase progressive bona fides, but it’s the AV Club, so to be expected). My issue was mostly pacing—it takes a while to get to the first fight sequence, then even longer to get to the next, and there isn’t enough that’s…

I’ve heard that Robinson will be playing an off-putting character who suddenly gets angry and starts yelling for no reason.

“We all.” Everyone else left a long time ago. And now I am too. The good news for you is that as long as you revert knee-jerk to progressive talking points, there will always be a place for you on social media. It won’t be with impressive people, by and large, but it will be a place.

You could bring those things up, a lot of people in those groups absolutely would have a problem with a trans president; the difference is that progressives don’t throw a tantrum when someone points this obvious thing out when it involves white people.

Eating causes cancer...is arguable. My point about the Arab community’s overall attitude toward the trans community wasn’t.

Then don’t imply that I’m a racist (as someone else here did) or that I hate Arabs (as you did) because I’m making what I consider an inarguable point about the predominant attitude of a general community. There are, of course, plenty of exceptions, not to mention actual transgender people of Arab descent, but the…

I gave you a star because you seem to want it. And, like the other guy replying to me, if you want to make the case that a group of Arab-Americans would be, in general, welcoming to the trans community, I invite you to do that.

See, I have a feeling that if you had an actual refutation to the point I made, you’d have made it. Instead you resort to name-calling.

My least favorite brand of wokeism (which is really saying something) is “we all know this thing is true, but it’s not nice to say out loud”
