Yeah this seems related to Disney not paying royalties for Star Wars books. Royalties or percentages of sales (I’m assuming that’s what’s owned) should be different than loans. Artists rely on that regular income

Unfortunately there are a lot of Americans that fat. 

Hey Snyder’s had those roller blading knee pads stuck on him for 20 years now. If he can’t sit no one can sit

Yeah it’s messed up and ableist. Not to mention probably explains some of the amazing acting in Snyder films. No wonder everyone seems stiff and a little tired

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MentorArchetype I mean there are a lot of Western examples here, many of whom are pretty old- for example “Mentor” is literally named after an old guy that tells Odysseus things. It’s not the most popular trope these days because “old guy tells you to do things” works better…

Exactly- and “wise old mentor” character isn’t exactly unknown in the West. There’s Obi-Wan, Merlin, Gandalf, etc. Before the 70s or so, that guy just was always white and Asian characters were either comic relief or evil

China is so severe about it that they hate even the suggestion of Tibet. So a Chinese or even Korean or Japanese actor playing the role might have also upset them. Ixnay on the Ibetnay

I don’t know, they treat their workers better than big lots at least in the pay and job security area from what i’ve heard. Also their clothes are always nice quality for the price. They’re my favorite place to buy a flannel bc it’s actually close to the thickness of my clothes from the 90s that I inherited from my mom

Yeah especially since I don’t have much interest in the iCarly reboot but this seems like it would be less depressing- I can’t enjoy the new version knowing what happened to Jeanette. 

It was supposed to be a slightly edgy pun in the line of like 50 Shades references. Slightly dirty but in a gendered, traditional way

I feel like Celebrity Wife Swap was a thing. They basically did a “Celebrity” version of every reality show

Man you must close it hard. I’ve had enough laptop latches break that I mostly fear breaking that

Yeah you can’t even see the plants for how garish the pots are. The focus should be on the plants- this was clearly just a random purchase, not something from a real designer, artist, or landscape designer

It already needs a case and you don’t want to drop it!

I miss the definitive ‘snap’ of closing a flip phone. Much more dramatic when you’re angry. But these folding phones you’d have to very gently close which seems less appealing and also stressful

Yeah- they obviously needed a more clear procedure for documenting when someone can’t easily be transported. And since it was a bond hearing, he obviously may have been better released to a mental facility as he wasn’t very coherent. But also the response of the cops shouldn’t have been “let’s murder him” when they…

Yeah- and when that has happened with fiat currency in the past it’s a bad bad thing. Countries literally pay people to keep their currency from acting like a cryptocurrency. 

See my closets are already basically full so space wise I don’t know what to do until I get a house. I actually like the handholds on the elliptical and find it easier to use than a treadmill and am very uncoordinated. But that thing I saw reviewed was (1) almost $900 and (2) they only sell a treadmill.

See at this point I’m contemplating getting a machine that would fold down under something (the couch?) but it seems like an investment in money and space. Especially since the fold down i saw reviewed was a treadmill and I’m more of an elliptical gal

I’m already out of shape as it is- exercising after being cardio-lite for so long is already going to be a fun experience
