He’s dismissing. Come to my thread!

Hi guys! Since we Hiyathereyall has said he’ll dismiss people who explain grammar to him, let’s start a separate thread he can’t control to talk about how stupid he is to first, not get that female as an adjective is fine but female as a noun is not, and second, actually link to a post showing that he’s wrong as…

“5. Because it’s grammatically weird.

All this does is show you don’t pay attention to grammar.

Whatever sex you are, architects, please stop making public spaces look like futuristic cities in movies with lazy CGI designers! Could you focus less on blocky curves and minimalism and more on greenery, charm, color, and livability? Do that and you can make all the upskirt glass walkways you like.

Tell us more or show us where we can find the script!

Agreed. They need to act like the eras and the woman are interesting in their own right, which they are. Contemporary music and giving some sense of the flow from the 1950s through the 1970s would do that better than a girl-power ballad from today.

I’ll give you the fact that it’s a bad trailer—too often movies pick a historical woman and insert her into a Generic Empowerment Movie instead of the character study that would be so much better. And Hammer’s success in Call Me By Your Name probably shaped the marketing. However, the “I can’t tell what year it is”…

While it may be exploitative, I don’t like the idea that a person, particularly a journalist, cannot legally write about someone. Does anyone here know more about the details of the law or the lawsuit?

It is important. But I don’t think the article is saying that. It’s not this guy who was holding the cell phone, but he’s in the title. And even if it is a discussion, you understand that by choosing to discuss this case, especially at the height of its frenzy, we are saying that the discussion is more important than…

Yep, poor lady. And here is another article about it, decrying the internet buzz while participating in it. Because we’ve found a new angle.

And I don’t believe your article is a better response than not responding at all. You’re also continuing the whole saga. You’re outright stating that it’s dangerous to second-guess intentions and then immediately second-guessing his intentions.  This isn’t right.  

The woman almost certainly could have spun this to her advantage if she were in the entertainment or publicity industry. Fame itself is a major currency in those right now, which is why everyone else involved at first got such a boost. If, on the other hand, you’re a teacher or an EMT or work in insurance, fame wrecks…

It sounds cheeky, but it’s really just a way of saying, “I won’t comment on that either way,” which is the only way of handling questions like that. If you answer, even to say no, they’ll ask you a question about the next person you’re photographed with, and the next. And the moment you can’t say “no,” that means…

So, Rosey Blair started this all, suggested people find the woman without her permission, suggested that the woman had sex in an airplane toilet, and we need to talk about . . . Euan? At least he was involved. It’s his story, even if it involves someone else and he didn’t handle it perfectly. (Why would a random…

The minute in the car with Whitford and Bledel was perfect. Perfect acting, perfect editing, perfect blocking, perfect song. It was funny and unbearably tense at once. I phased out of HT at the beginning, and phased back in when Whitford came on the scene, and it was the correct choice. I could watch it a hundred…

Situational Best Chris!

There is no part of reproduction that doesn’t have a natural failure rate. According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 15% of couples are infertile--not completely but at least have abnormally low fertility. Around half of fertilized eggs are ejected from the womb without implanting. Pregnancy has between a 15 and 20%…

As much as I hate Nestle, I have to also say that in the West breastfeeding promotion has shifted to “exclusive” breastfeeding promotion and this is dangerous. “Natural” childcare has become a business like any other. Some healthcare professionals are either ignorant of the failure rate of breastfeeding or think…

I second the beard, and I do like the waking up to meet the love of your life trope. However.
