I think I’ve had tempeh before, but I couldn’t tell you what dish I had it in, nor could I tell you what I thought of it, because I don’t remember. :-D

I’ve said before on this site, I eat a fair amount of vegetarian due to Mrs. Lambic, but one thing I’m always a bit reticent about is tofu, mostly due to the texture.

Luckily, ingredients don’t need to be cool to be fucking delicious.

I’d love for anyone to point me to a single video of baseball players literally dumping entire containers of booze over the head of a male reporter. I’d be shocked if even ONE exists.

Definitely seems to be shading foul.

“It’s more amusing to me that you continue to staunchly insist on thinking that this will inspire some kind of incel revolution”

Pretty sure he’s missing the filling as well.

This dumb goes to 11.

“Wohl might be able to sue himself for defamation.”

What the fuck is this even?

Ah yes, don’t believe all THOSE reactions to the movie—they’re just fearmongering bandwagon irrational nonsense! Believe THIS reaction to the movie, which just happens to fit my own preconceptions and is the only rational take!

“Why do schools even have sports?”

LOL. Given your posting history, this response is wholly unsurprising. I’m not going to waste my time explaining this shit to you, because you obviously didn’t bother reading any of the material in the... [checks notes] ...17 minutes that passed between my post and yours.

To be clear (since I apparently wasn’t in my first comment), I’m not suggesting that this is going to inspire those types to become Travis Bickle. In fact, I think it probably won’t—anyone who is predisposed to that sort of action has a lot more going on behind it than just watching a movie about the type of violent

I’m not talking about The Joker in general. I’m talking about “Joker”—this movie’s interpretation on that character.

I don’t think it’s about encouraging negative acts so much as it is a question about the artistic value of telling a sympathetic story about a person who very much mirrors real-life mass shooters while also relying on the canard that mental illness is a key role in that propensity to become a mass shooter.

It’s super weird how multiple people are fixated on your line about the Aurora shooter even though whether not that shooter actually styled himself “the joker” doesn’t really change the part about why this movie could be seen as troubling in the way it has the potential to lionize the idea of a mentally-ill person

Did you read the review? Seems like not.
