the ballet thing is particularly telling- i used to work with a couple of women who had been in the NYC ballet, which is one of the premier global ballet companies. ballet can *destroy* your body. broken toes, broken feet, stress fractures everywhere south of your neck, repetitive strain injuries- you name it. i’m…

sailors and criminals really love baby yoda it turns out

french language films with subtitles bum me out- i took french for years and was actually conversational by the end of highschool, but its been so long that i only pick up bits and pieces. the problem is that when i try and read the subtitles in english at the same time i’m picking up just enough recognizable french…

they did thanos in the comics like 40 years ago. 

people without a passing familiarity with the comics and/or basic plot structure?

It's a marvel movie- if you've seen one you already know the plot. That's the whole point of the mcu

if you’re that close your fancier beer selling spots might have it. i’m not that close and they sell it at most decently stocked places

a bunch of lesser known DC hero’s with a ‘lets put on a show’ ethos travel through time and generally muck it up

nose rings are the worst fashion item ever. they weren’t even cool when they were popular

the thing is, i don’t care even if it did. they went to work for a company that wanted a return to a specific false version of the 1950's post-war ideal- where women were docile eye candy, minorities knew their place and a rich white man could do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted and never have any consequence.…

its going to fail because its not for anyone- a liberal isn’t going to go watch a movie about three rich, racist propagandists who were willing to sell their souls for a quick buck and now want sympathy that working for a racist corporation set up to subvert and destroy american democracy on behalf of a handful of…

its weird he would admit that despite the movie making 1 billion dollars that he was so unremarkable that nobody is even giving him so much as an audition. i’d think you wouldn’t say that out loud, but i wasn’t apparently the worst part of a 1 billion dollar cartoon remake, so what do i know?

i’ve had it. its a belgian style ale and a decent example of it. i wouldn’t go out of my way to pick some up unless you really want to try the style and don’t want to go to europe

same here- i didn’t even hate justice league as it came out (saw it via HBO, so i was already in a sunk cost situation, to be fair.) I’d be curious to see the differences- snyder isn’t always my cup of tea, but he does have a specific style. for better or worse he’s not a ron howard type director. i’d be curious to…

thats not the brand their selling though. they’re positioning themselves (probably wisely) as a lifestyle device. its basically just the new bowflex or p90x- those adds all featured hard bodied models using those products as a lifestyle brand.

they had the model and the rented house for a day, they chose a model who…

the real answer? they aren’t going to hire a larger figured model for an entire year and rent this house for that same time so they can periodically shoot this commercial while they force her to exercise to get the body image they are selling. the end result isn’t progressive or anything, but i think the reasoning is…

I think if you’re in a thread that is explicitly saying ‘give us your unpopular food opinion’ then you dont need to say ‘my unpopular opinion is’ because the context is right there. His opinion is unpleasant, but he wasnt making an objective statement in context

i prefer potato casserole to mashed potatoes (we always called it twice baked, but thats not strictly accurate.)

basically boil 5 lbs of peeled potatoes (of any type) until they are nice and soft (20-30 minutes on a full boil.)

drain them, let them cool a little and then put them in a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer-…

also they don’t sell portions of them the same way they do with other animals- i can go to the store and buy chicken legs, thighs (bone in our out,) whole chicken, breasts, livers, half, pre-cooked roasters and even canned. but turkey thighs are only intermittently available and thats the only piece you see year round.

cranberry sauces secret power is that its really good a little mashed up on the leftover sandwich the next day
