That Italians were “not considered white” is a highly specific scenario in just the United States, in just the early 20th century. It’s a useful tool in certain contexts, but probably not the global Jesus debate.

Sounds like perfect weather for a prestigious quadrennial soccer tournament!

I grew up comfortable, as they say. My mother is from Guatemala. I may not know what life was like in the hood, or what its like to be poor, but I do know what its like to see your mother being refused service because she must be “somone’s puerto rican maid” Not to compare one thing to another, but people can have…

People who go to IKEA for hide and seek aren’t going to be buying shit. WHat they will do is break a bunch of merchandise. 

Each season I begged for the obnoxious Belgian to arrive so the locked-room murder mystery could start, but it never, ever did. We almost got there with Bates, but not quite. Make due with Gosford Park until Knives Out, I guess.

What is netflix even doing?  Make high profile shows to get people to sub, then cancel them, spend billions on the likes of Adam Sandler and these two, who are all on the decline in their careers.  They can’t possibly be thinking long term.

I don’t remember much pop culture from 1999. I do remember a high school buddy got it in his head he wanted to watch the sundown on one coast and sunrise over the other on 1/1/2000. So we raced to Florida and turned right at some point, watched the sunset and then raced to FL’s east coast, blasting Aquemini on repeat…

I’ve was reading The AV Club in 1999, and I’m certainly not the only one. You should republish some articles from 1999 to look at how writers addressed 1999 pop culture at the time, instead of looking at everything through a lens of ironic nostalgia.

China absolutely has issues with intellectual property and such, but the sweeping generalizations you make are absurd. 

What is stopping them from returning?

“In college, I had a cheap roommate who refused to purchase things that he could acquire for free.”

Apropos of completely nothing, the ancient Greeks idolised and venerated pederasty.

That’s the point. It’s offensive because it’s an inaccurate stereotype of a mentally ill individual. If it was a stereotypical representation of a racial group, you couldn’t excuse it by saying it “does not represent the state of racial identity in our world”. Same rules here.

I’m pretty sure Bethesda already offers Daggerfall for free, so I doubt they care. 

Having your child die a gruesome death from a horrible mistake seems like punishment enough.

Prince Harry interviewed Jane Goodall, not Meghan. Also... this whole idealizing people so much to the point that the rest of us is pressured to feel incompetent when we’re not doing as much is ridiculous and has to stop. There’s enough nonsense that glorifies workaholism and driving yourself to the ground trying to…

don’t you mean your jellicles

In order to ask if aliens exist, Trump would by default have to have at least a passing interest in life forms that are neither him nor his “type.”

The reveal about Rey’s backstory is absolutely the most satisfying answer they could have possibly given us, precisely because it’s unsatisfying to Rey.

You mean gone on an insane rant? Yeah, pretty sure he would have. And I’m sure that male interviewer would have handled it like a pro, just like this female interview is handling it like a pro.
