There certainly is a middle ground, yes. I was just expressing my personal feelings on the issue.

I feel like making the Nazis into cartoons, which Waititi’s movie may or may not do (I haven’t seen it,) isn’t the “best” way to portray them. I think the best way to portray Nazis is to examine what they said and what…

My son finally read this series this summer. I can’t wait to watch the miniseries and see if he rages appropriately like a good little nerd.

My favorite line from the linked piece on the Mulaney sitcom is:

“Mulaney is more Bob Newhart than Louis CK.”

In hindsight that’s a pretty huge compliment.

I’m certainly not wrong. The Nazis were, by and large, regular everyday people not that much different than you or me. When’s the last time you’ve actually taken effective, real action against the evil things your government does?

I’ve certainly never said that people should never joke about, or make fun of Nazis.…

I’m really not missing the point here. I see your point, and I disagree with it.

“They still were doltish clowns when they built their continent-sized murder machine.”

“Nilus is exactly right that today’s Nazis/White Supremacists get absolutely furious when people point out...“ 

I didn’t miss his point at all, I just disagree with it.

“comedy can be a powerful weapon.” 

It’d be like just plain yogurt at that point.

Eh, I don’t like personally like turning Nazis into jokes, especially not jokes made by people who didn’t live through it. The best representation of a Nazi, to me, is Eichmann (one of the principal organizers of the Holocaust) on trial in Israel. If he’s a clown, there’s nothing funny about him.

Here’s a collection of…

He was partially correct. Below this text is a surviving manuscript of Beowulf from the early 11th century. You will notice that there aren’t tittles (dots) over the “i” characters on the first line. We didn’t start dotting the “i” in English until the late 1400's around the time the printing press was invented in…

lol, my favorite is the debate over whether people should be required to capitalize “i”

for the record my post originally said “E,E, Cummings” before I fixed it, so it was a punctuation rather than capitalization thing.

This is my favorite version of Scooby Doo:

my son also loves any vegetable i prepare, but that might be because my standard vegetable production method is about 1:1 butter to vegetable.

So true. My son has a friend who comes over and eats whatever I put in front of him when he’s here (it helps that the kid has made it onto my shit list before and doesn’t want me to ban him from the house again.)

His dad came to pick him up one time while we were eating soupy super and was shocked, absolutely shocked,…

Whoa, cool down there Hitler. Nobody wants to imagine a post World War II world without Judaism.

I’ve come to love beef stews and soups with balsamic vinegar in the base. Also, I’ve heard but don’t know if it’s true that balsamic vinegar can help with acid reflux.

I’m having trouble finding a recipe that I think looks particularly good to me, but I typically just make some beef broth and toss in some cubed beef,…

People lie about having cancer all the time. It’s a common thing. I’d post links to articles about it, but you could google it yourself as fast as you could click them. It’s some crazy shit.

You just have to decide if the friendship is worth sticking with it. I’d just cut them out of my life, but I’m also a misanthrope.

I almost mentioned Rihanna should be Mother Abigail earlier so it seems like she should at least play something.

I hope they go full 180 and have people surprised he’s black because he recorded a super-white sounding song.
