It’s not an enormous amount of effort to note that the flavors draw heavily from the subcontinent and diaspora. In fact, it’s so easy that when the issue first arose, that’s exactly how the NYT dealt with it.

That video was clearly shot with a cell phone (rather than one of those vehicle video cameras that are always running and pointing in the same direction) by someone who was following. So, whoever that person is, he or she knew something was about to go down even though no one was on camera when it started. So that…

Even IF this kid was the neighborhood burglar (and I bet money he wasn’t), why the fuck are father and son parked in the middle of the street with guns already drawn before he arrived unless they were planning on shooting him? Did they really think this kid was gonna break in on a crowded street in broad daylight?…

I image it is easier to pen a letter to a victim of sexual assault (1) whose assaulter was absolutely guilty and found so in the criminal court, and (2) isn’t accusing you of sexual assault.

I hear you.  I have an island range and while its not in the way of the flow it comes with a down draft vent and that thing sucks.

I’m pretty sure everyone I’ve ever met with an island range has hated it. A number of people I know have paid to remove it and place it back along the wall where it makes more sense! It seems like a design that fell out of favor pretty quickly, doesn’t it? People who entertain tend to dislike it because it takes away…

Sweden: 16,755 cases. 2021 deaths. 156 deaths/million pop.

Less experienced than Mayor Pete? That’s absurd. He was mayor a small city in Indiana for eight years, Abrams held the party’s leadership position within the state legislature for six years, holding office there for 10 years.

Unacceptable. You must choose a side: Rian Johnson or JJ Abrams. They can’t both be wrong. :-P

Man, I was alllll set to thoroughly agree with every word you said, and then you went and snuck these flamin’-hot takes in there:

It sounds like you’re more of a superfan than most of us.

I mean, the roar of “ermahgad women! ermahgad minorities!” that existed on social media during the first film and exploded in the second can’t be denied.

The first film was a serviceable return to setup a trilogy, albeit one that mirrored ANH too much at certain moments.

Yeah a lot of people are mistaking cluttered for complex.

The problem with the new trilogy is that each film is a craven apology for the preceding installment. Rather than desperately trying to course correct midflight, they should have sat down and sketched out a three-film epilogue to the story told in the six previous movies (because even the prequels, god help them,…

It clearly does.

I’m sorry for your acquaintance’s loss, but... how is that relevant to anything they said?

Zombie AV Club Newswire writer priorities:

My issue with her is that she seems so stubbornly and intellectually incurious about the origins of the food she is riffing on. This quote is insane: “I don’t come from a culture that knows about curry,” Roman explains, with an air of exasperation.“I come from no culture. I have no culture. I’m like, vaguely…

I’m still not sure you’re getting the point. Again, you mention “asking a company to “hire and pay less qualified personnel”, when the question is about choosing between candidates with EQUAL QUALIFICATIONS, whose only distinguishing factors are their gender and/or “race”. A hypothetical: you interview three…
