That bandana has gotten quite big, but not enough to keep up with Axl.

What I don't understand is why more fashion designers aren't trying to bring back high-waisted, slim-fitting pants for men. I mean it's not like the fashion industry is only run by people attracted to women.

There is a difference between pointing out that there are the same kinds of psychological processes between different forms of equality and suggesting that they are somehow at the same level. Even if you think Hollywood's only responsibility is making money, inherent sexist attitudes make them worse at doing that as…

It is possible to find more than one thing worth one's attention, and see things as interesting indicators of inequality without automatically going to outrage mode. Hollywood isn't run by people who hate women. Like much of the world, it is run by people who believe they treat people equally because they believe in…

Did it ever cross your mind that there might also be something iffy about the fact that the people who are the tied to the biggest franchises and get the highest profile roles and other opportunities just happen to be dudes then?

I imagine they have at least some influence in the process, and even when not directly doing the negotiations, it still reflects on the client, as seen in the OP's statement, that RDJ "willed/forced himself" into the deal.

The choice of words is probably influenced by the book I'm reading called the Economics of Good and Evil, which I'd recommend as possibly up your alley, or at least the first two thirds I'm through. While it's sometimes a bit too popular science-y, it is not riding the dick of hard science, which is the kind of…

It was mentioned in the comments in other Hollywood pay gap article that women are less likely to ask for raises. This is true, but…

C'mon, you'd save tons on travel by investing in your own virtual timeshare! Even more savings if your slot is coincides with the biannual flying penis migration!

I was going to write something about how there is probably some Sunk Cost Fallacy-style thinking involved as well, but I think you already got that covered by mentioning the Church of Scientology.

People are commenting on that article that at least some of those virtual campuses mentioned are in fact still in use, just not holding classes right now.

Peele's MC Mom had a really Bruce McCulloch-esque quality to it.

That's a good answer, although I might still get the "deer in the headlights"-look my friends back home would joke about me getting whenever I try to do something in any way sneaky.

So I will be flying home this summer after all. The second time this year, and for a second funeral. At least this time it was someone old and not that close, whose death was not unexpected.

Exercise is really good for me mental well-being, but I only realized that in my twenties. Right now mainly I do stuff off fitnessblender.com due to lack of time, but I still vary it a lot. Otherwise it gets boring, but to my surprise it's something I can enjoy a lot. To the point that a lot people would say for…

Deleted the other response because it has a lot of identifying things about me and isn't as clever a it felt like when I wrote it drunk and stoned.

"These spiders are everywhere!… I hate spiders!"

I enjoy these despite not knowing anything about Dark Matter, because I can image someone made a show based on the Brian Eno song "Back in Judy's Jungle".

I imagine you are not alone in feeling that way.
