That purely silly. Massive progressive movements in the 1970s got us environmental regulations under a republican president. And, even in this election, "most" of the country voted for Clinton.

Hopefully this is the typically bad Entertainment Weekly photo that doesn't represent the actual film/show.

Good teeth is a huge class indicator in America. Whether you can afford regular tooth cleaning as a kid, whether your parents could afford orthodontia …

The Midwest is monocultural now. It had various influxes of immigrants in the past though. And is also influenced by the surrounding culture.

We also highly value good teeth. Which is why we have the best dentistry in the world for those lucky enough to afford it.

Their mouths look all strained to my eyes. Like they are trying not to sneeze or yawn or cough.

Why do they all look like they are trying not to cough?

"Comics" in general? Comics covers everything from Little Nemo to the X-men to Archie to Superman to Watchmen to Mary Worth so it seems like a far too general statement.

Certainly. Being poor is a moral failing to them, thus all the sufferings of the poor are the just punishments for being poor. The rich fall into this type of thinking like every century, I think.

Calvinism? Not even. They're just sloppy prosperity-gospel idiots.

It's not though. It's rage against the status quo. I'd say modern conservatism is the worship of wealth, pure and simple. Money equals morality. Thus poor babies (lacking money) deserve to suffer.

Not as far as I could tell. Dora's childishness seems to be presented as charming and (at worst) "too good for this world". She's the main character's beloved wife.

Hawaii seems like a really weird choice to stay. You'd think it would just break off entirely.

I think the choice was a bit cowardly, honestly. Basically trying to pretend racism doesn't exist so you can get it out of the way of your sexism story. This is obnoxious in that it follows the familiar pattern of feminism refusing to accept that women of color face unique challenges as women.

Yes. According to the juror, it wasn't for laughing, it was for the "ruckus" after the laughing. Another juror expressed frustration that the law was so broadly and vaguely written that it was impossible not to convict. Not sure how true that is though.

As I noted below, there were "small" euthanasia facilities scattered through Germany. As well as three large (now infamous) concentration camps. In addition to the deaths at Dachau, Bergen-Belsen, and Buchenwald, 30,000 died at Sachsenhausen and at least 50,000 at Ravensbruck. All comfortably inside of Germany. Did…

I don't know. It seems like that leads into the "silence is not consent" minefield. It shifts the burden onto the party that might find it difficult to say "no" in the moment.

I'd say certainly, if you've never done it before. Maybe not every time after unless your partner said it was an "only sometimes" activity.

Seems like too general a question. Do you mean like super-market historical romance novels? Written porn with barely any plot at all? Sexy vampire books?

Definitely an incorrect and facile response to attempts to critique entertainment, whichever side is saying it.
