Duh, they look cooler.
Duh, they look cooler.
Luckily where I am it's bedtime, so I don't have to worry about how much time I'm spending here until I'm doing it again tomorrow!
The original comment was lacking in substance, but your response to it did not challenge the ignorance of that person regarding Australia, at least directly. And I feel that often when the discussion goes to what country is more racist, it becomes this kind of liberal one-upmanship.
The thing is, every country is it's own unique snowflake when it comes to racism. In terms of overt, shameless racism though, people who have experiences with an exceptionally broad cross-section of the world's population have brought up Australia as one stand-out.
It sucks that there are double standards regarding personal grooming when it comes to men: women with hair extensions and such aren't mocked if they aren't shitty looking, but men get a hard time for giving any indication that they care about what their head looks like (and this applies to men with full heads of hair…
It's pretty clever, because wearing a hat because you like it and think it looks good on you (regardless of the amount of hair underneath) would make people think you care about superficial stuff like that.
"Wearing a hat so people wouldn't see my lack of enthusiasm". Wow, I didn't know that. So is every band frontman who hasn't yet come to terms with their balding covering up for a lack of enthusiasm?
Those jokes were worth stealing?
I'm just going to politely stare back at my older comment, kinda like I'm willing to let you make it look like you got it on your own.
The literal translation of the Finnish title of 50 First Dates is "Always The First Time" (although the wording has more directly sexual connotations which are impossible to translate). I got with the opposite sex for the first time after watching this movie at a guy's house.
I support mandatory conscription (but not any wars that would thin out their ranks) because if you're really not interested in a long-term relationship, army guys are, at least where I'm from, generally in better shape than guys with jail time ahead of them, plus the army gives them condoms when they go on leave as…
I guess there's a first time for everything.
"She" and "he" are equally unnecessarily gendered (in the sense that there are cultures that do perfectly fine without gendered pronouns), but without them, we'd get more stuff like the RHCP song "By The Way", which has the line "Dani the girl is singing songs to me", because God forbid someone would hear it as…
GHB, also known as Liquid Ecstacy? (although a more fitting name would be Liquid You Sure As Hell Ain't Doing That Shit At My House, Yeah, I'm Taking The Bottle, What Is Your Fucked Up Ass Going To Do About It, And You Won't Get It Back Until You're Home And Someone Else Is There To Worry About Whether To Call An…
That sounds interesting, especially as the one thing keeping me from enjoying Silicon Valley fully is how they added a female character (possibly to preempt criticism about representation), and after establishing that she could get along with, and bring her own thing to the dynamic of the Pied Piper guys, had her be…
Depressing in a way, but better than growing up thinking male interests are given more resources because it's just the market maximizing efficiency, without any inherent biases involves in how these decisions are made. Although I feel like those who see their interests over-represented are much more in need of…
If they'd given it even one third of the budget of the first Transformers or G.I. Joe movies, they wouldn't have had to choose between cutting out all the fantastical elements and filming it on a set built from old cardboard boxes thrown away by better-founded productions:

If this is a cause that is being championed here, maybe The AV Club could give better specifications about the use of the illustrations they commission to artists so that their signatures don't get cropped out, like in the Comics Week banner (which can be bad for composition as well). Although I've expressed this…
Ladies, might as well make it a long weekend seeing as there's no point in going to school or work on Monday, after our sisters have so thoroughly demonstrated our inferiority with this week's less than stellar showing in this feature.
Janelle Monáe is a great answer, although a part of me thinks animation would be an even better medium for her. Why not both? I didn't know I wanted this before, but now that I do, someone better make it happen.
