You just bragged about how basic your wife and daughters are...

Handful? She’s sold over a billion books. And she was a great mystery writer.

Am I the only one bothered by Call Me By Your Name? It looks very pretty and well done but the fact is a relationship between a 17 year old and an adult in his mid to late twenties is never healthy. There are unfair power dynamics there and romanticizing it makes me feel squicky. 

And sorry, but Shadowland is one of the BEST songs in the musical. It feels like her voice will ::small voice:: ruin it. Bey has some chops, but Broadway she is definitely not.

Ummm, not wanting to be around kids is in ZERO way the same as not wanting to be around POC. Kids and adults are literally, biologically, physiologically, psychologically, different. That is an obvious fact.

LOL that’s adorable. And if it were in any way comparable, Branson’s new child-free cruise ship would be illegal. But it’s not. Because you’re full of shit.

“Immersive”, huh?

Raping hundreds of women over the span of four decades just so he could get caught for it and change the world. How selfless.

Agree with this, except: tutors? Have you seen the series “Love,” about an onset tutor who tries to protect his student from mistreatment (nonsexual) but is utterly powerless? It’s only a tutor’s job to report if they know something. It’s not their job to *know* it’s happening, technically speaking.

You’re right, there is totally nothing inappropriate about a grown man inviting a 14 year old to a party with alcohol into his bed. Totally normal.

Why is it these arseholes always try to use the “separate the artist from the art” defence.

I want to spread this around as much as I can everytime Polanski is mentioned. These names are STILL on his petition. They should be taken to task, asked, put on the spot - EVERYTHING. You cannot bash Weinstein and then have your signature on the Polanski petition:

“Soon after my wife and I were married, 4 years ago, I had sex with a woman at a club in Panama where I had a work assignment for a month. I promptly forgot all about it until I started the Sex Addicts Anonymous program last year.”

Just curious, does being snarky and presumptuous get you anywhere? Shouting slogans at people in all caps? What about sharing partially redacted clickbait articles that don’t even have anything to do with what they were talking about?

Which doesn’t happen. Ever been to a pig factory farm? You’ll leave with PTSD.

There’s really no way to kill someone “well”. Come on!

Yeah.... the uh, religious standards for halal and kosher have more to do with blessing the animals/plants than it has to do with treating them well. Modern methods of slaughter are far more humane than throat slitting. The welfare of the animals isn’t part of the equation.

Not really sure how halal or kosher is better. I’ve seen the chickens at American’s #2 processing plant (1.9 million chickens a week). That’s halal and kosher, which just means their necks are slit and they bleed out.....an instantaneous death would be much more humane.

In case anyone thinks that pig farming is any less horrific and abusive to the animals in the U.S., it’s not. Our food industry and low consumer prices are basically propped up on a foundation of gross exploitation of workers, both domestic and abroad, and animal abuse.
