Much more practical for the zombie apocalypse.

In Oklahoma, walk into a gun store, pick out a handgun and a rifle, place them on the counter, fill out the Brady paperwork, wait 10 minutes while they call the FBI number to run your background, pay for them, leave with them. You can get your ammo there, too.

There is a difference between and explanation and a justification. You can explain a person’s reasons for doing something without justifying or excusing what they did.

I’m pretty sure that Tulsa cops already have M-16s an have for a while. Not the ones with the full auto (there aren’t even a lot of those left in the military anymore) but I’m pretty sure I remember them having the three round burst kind. Actually, M-4s, which are the same thing but with collapsible stocks.

No, no! Everyone wore pink the next day in solidarity with St. Francis (St. Francis hospital is a pink building also known as the Pink Palace.) I mean, that will help, right?

How does it feel to have no empathy and to not remember what it was like to be young and afraid of authority?

Oh, fuck that!

Except by these rules, I can’t use my account on vacation or on my break at work or at a friend’s house. Even if no one else in the world has my PW but me, I can only use it at home. Fuck that.

There are different types of Trivial Pursuit board games. There’s an 80s version, a Friends version. Well, those two I know, but I’m sure there are many other kinds. Maybe it’s a Next Generation or a black history one.

This is from the FAQs on the Scripps website: “Remember, although spelling bees begin with words from the study guide, they often end with words you haven’t studied.”

Just because it is expected that that industry would cause him harm doesn’t make it right or OK that the harm was caused. It doesn’t mean he shouldn’t speak out against the harm. They shouldn’t be requiring *anyone* to wear clothes they aren’t requiring the other members of the cast to wear.

He was young, perceived as a woman (more likely a girl) and relatively new to the industry, so they used his youth and naivety against him to make him feel he had no choice and I’m sure he also was worried about pushing too hard and getting labeled difficult making it hard to find work. It doesn’t make the requirement…

It was “forcing” a woman (as far as the studio knew) to wear a dress and that’s also bad. Page said that himself. It’s not just about the trans part of it. It’s about forcing people to wear clothing they are uncomfortable wearing, especially since women usually take the brunt of that. Women are expected to be…

Then why didn’t they ask Page to dress to reflect his character? His character would not have worn that dress or those shoes.

Yep, Cera’s not even wearing a suit. And I can tell how uncomfortable Page is just by looking at his left foot. He hardly ever--if ever--wore shoes like that before. And I get that as a cis woman who hasn’t been able to wear even a kitten heel since I broke my foot. Much less feel comfortable in any dress except maybe…

I’m a cis woman and I would find being forced to wear a dress mildly traumatic. It takes away my agency. It’s one thing to have a dress code, but if the men can wear suits/slacks/etc. then the women should be allowed to, also. Being forced to dress according to what society deems appropriate for your gender--whether…

But, that’s literally what acting is (and he chose to do it, no one forced him.) Every single actor plays a role that is not who they really are. Straight people play gay people, cis people play trans people, men play women (or, in the case of Victor/Victoria, a woman plays a man playing a woman,) recovering addicts…

It seems your original point was that if a person wants to be a successful actor they should just suck it up and do what the studios say no matter how much it pains them. Which makes this particular comment of yours extremely awful.

And this would actually be a good point if he were complaining about having to wear a dress while playing a woman in a movie rather than choosing what he wants to wear to a work function. If I went to a work function that was formal, I could wear a tux if I wanted to and not get fired or blacklisted because of it. Why…

The article states that the character was androgynous. That’s the part that kicked this whole comment thread off.
