I really hate that burner option thing. I've got a legacy account (this is a random one I created for when disqus was misbehaving, not my real account) so while I did create a new Kinja account, having seen all the trouble people are having with the burners, maybe I should just attach it to a garbage google account?…

Something that gave me a degree of comfort is that there's a project to get enough states to sign up to pledge their delegates to the winner of the national popular vote that's 60% of the way to taking effect.

Nope, but if it had been one of Trump's wives running for president, I wouldn't have cared as much. There's a huge difference between being married to soemone who has committed sexual assault and actually commiting sexual assault.

You're not the one with the crying six year old who is afraid they're going to get dragged off in the night like one of my colleagues.

yay, thanks!

it doesn't really start gelling until episode 8 or 9

The shine has worn off firefly for me. There's certainly a lot of influence there, but I'm not sure Firefly is necessarily the high water mark in this the decade of peak tv.

I don't really want to watch the whole thing, spoil it for me?

I'm still waiting to see what happens. In some ways, I think the show has benefited from his absence, but on the other, it was a very clunky way of doing it "oh, now he's dead! For reals! DNA!" And then the fact that they've brought back the actor twice and then went "psych!". So I'm really not certain yet if the…

I feel there's something of his I really liked that I am forgetting. Perhaps prior to She-Hulk, because I hated the art in that, so I didn't read it.

yeah, seriously, the ending to AI is the single most depressing thing in that movie, after a long line of depressing things. The bit before doesn't even begin to touch it.

Plus, she was a domme. If anything, the photos would be more "was that man bad?"

*slow clap*

There's a guy like that who posts a lot on the Economist's comments. He's of the "goddamn women, taking jobs away from men, goddamn women should stay in the home and raise children as god intended, they are destroying society, those goddamn lazy gold-digging whores who only marry men for their money" type.

Well, Baltimoron covered a good part of this. The other thing is that outright "no"'s are viewed as being very aggressive in our culture- for everyone. Women saying, "i am not interested in you" is understood as VERY aggressive, and the "stop bothering me" is a really high escalation, socially speaking. So there's…

D'argo's already in his 30s or something like that, something that apparently makes him a teenager in Luxan society, one of the reasons his marriage was so frowned on. He wasn't mature enough, and hadn't gotten the hang of controlling the hyper-rage yet.

It's one of the reasons I side-eye the attempts to expand Gen X into including those, like me, who were born in the mid 80s. It makes for a very different experience of the world as a child.

The thing that's kind of awesome about She-Hulk's design is that more often than not, she's drawn in a fashion that could conceivably be a female power fantasy - she's drawn like an amazon, gorgeous, yes, but in a muscular, athletic way. She looks strong, and is often drawn in aggressive, strong stances. Unlike so…

I am very glad I never saw the movie, which in theory was based on a book I quite liked when I read it as a teenager.

There was a mars-themed space disaster movie back in the early 2000s that had something like that (actually, there were two of them, and either one was good and the other terrible, or they were both terrible, but now I can't remember either of them very clearly). They discover that martians sent DNA to earth or…
