Well, Deaf and hard of hearing people rely on lip reading, so they’re exempt here in Washington State.

That is a surprisingly sweet story.

The honest reason it’s up there (because it’s not a construction I especially like, either) is that I was desperate not to let even the slightest hint of a spoiler slip into the headline. Even calling the ending “bold” or “experimental” or whatever would have potentially tipped a hand for folks. (Even knowing there’s s…

Dang, you had to equivocate in your response. I had one of those “joke flying over your head” gifs at the ready.

but that he eventually came around to understanding the various critiques, especially when he framed it through his own Jewish identity. “[I]f that character were the only representation of Jewish people in American culture for 20 years, which was the case with Apu, I might not love that,” he said.

I do know why. It’s because my jizz puddles are often shaped like a deer.

Basically this. Whenever I suggest a short list of excellent well made highly likeable anime to friends who are just getting started or who have only caught currently airing shows and want to know what older series are worth watching, this show is never on it. It is still was a huge part of my teen aged televised…

Are you the performative woke demon from "The Good Place?"

Well, capitalism is about 400 years old now, and we all know the elderly tend get pretty confused and senile right before they die.

Here is my pitch. Apu has a heart attack and nearly dies. Worried about his health he goes off and spends the next 12 months getting into really good shape. He comes back and looks and sounds like Kumail Nanjani

the upside is that people who go around talking about how stupid everyone is inevitably do something embarrassingly stupid themselves before too long. 

That... definitely could be the reason.

The idea of justice is presented in a very interesting way here. We’ve seen a couple of demons so far (Glenn and Bad Janet0 rebel against the systme entirely because it’s unjust; they have no problem torturing people, but are disturbed that the humans they’re torturing aren’t the evil people they were told. The Good…

Clapping GIFs are passe, so Im actually clapping aloud after reading your post

That’s actually pretty inspiring, because it implies that despite all the injustice the Republican Party perpetuates, it’s actually only as evil as the British Conservative Party, who are also misery-inflicting bureaucrats whose party’s most clearly defined purpose is to retain power, but which has proven ethically…

Your comment reminded me of a cartoon I saw once - I think it’s mildly tangential, but still apropos:

The scene with JoJo and Elsa at the end of JoJo Rabbit culminating with them dancing to Bowie’s “Heroes” tore me wide open.

I get it. If I had who complained about customers asking them for fettuccine sauce, I’d buy them two beers. 

Because multiple people disliking a movie is, unto itself, not what a bias is.

It it addressed classism well, I wouldn’t think it was toothless.
