Damn, I just wasted my time posting this very thought not nearly as well.

Even if he was indeed broken by someone, and was legitimately wronged by a woman despite having been a man of perfect virtue, it’s definitely the self-pitying generalizations that are the problem here.

It’s also possible that they did, in fact have *some* sort of connection. Basic physical attraction, maybe. Both love baseball stats. Guy said something kinda funny once. Happens all the time.

Perhaps it’s time for corporations to recognize that a giant golden parachute clause is not “a necessity to draw top talent” but, in fact, a guaranty that any “talent” has long since been strangled to death by ego.

It can alienate old, established fans, too. I don’t have the time to watch every Marvel property (nor the interest, in some cases), and the interconnectivity is often so effortful and intrusive, I’ve walked away almost entirely.

See also “bloody”.

Which leads to the biggest problem with “myriad” — so many people use it as a synonym for “shit ton” rather than “many” and the ugly “a myriad of...” makes my skin crawl.

It’s because he had to say all those words about other people. Who wouldn’t want to throw them ALL under the bus, limelight-stealing ingrate terrorists that they are?

But what could that have to do with immigration? Without the aid, the terrorists will have to hate American Freedom from afar. And immigration is about those terrorists coming in and turning left or something. And Mexico has already started paying for the wall, as reparations for this trade war they started with the…

Think he’s actually talking about the old-school, video store definition of “adult” — sex and violence (and not of the comical, cartoony South Park variety).

And why do so many folks forget that a 1979 copyright indicates something was made in *or after* that year?  (And that something made in the last year of a given decade isn’t likely representative of that decade?)

Somehow the use of “taste” vs “flavor” makes it feel extra fake. Even though they are literally made of toasted corn.

16 is at least a whole number.

Some kids can mess quietly, which is decidedly less contagious than shrieking tidily.

Because both are signs of zero sense of responsibility in (chronological) adults. The ever-expanding “fuck everybody but me” set. Folks who think “I don’t have enough money to cover a entire dinner out, including tip, but I deserve to go anyway!”

Fear of this very sort of thing is why he doesn’t sleep. Plus, Fox News would tell him The Truth!

And how! There are plenty of (physically) attractive people on both sides. But letting us know what’s going on inside can quickly and completely break the spell when it turns out to be vapid or venomous instead of vital or virtuous.

“Damn women is gonna come in here, make it the Pink House, start crying, start wars when they’s on their ‘monthly’ and generally wreck the place with all the yapping... Where does it end?”

Because those things nibble away at the overblown incomes of top “earners.”

I think there’s another aspect of the racism to explain thinking this video, of all things, would torpedo her. It seems like they thought it would be super easy to topple a mere woman who isn’t even white, since everyone who sees her will obviously get that deep down feeling of revulsion we all totally get (right?)…
