Yup, firm “gesundheit”-er here.

The DNC doesn’t have a duty to be impartial and they certainly don’t have a duty to prioritize a candidate who joined the party about 5 minutes before announcing his bid for the white house over a candidate who has worked to build the party for the last 30 years.

I wish English were more like Spanish or German in the sneeze department (both of which tend to use the word for “health” as their standard response).

Not to pat myself on the back, but I at no point underestimated republican willingness to cheat, which is precisely what made it so easy for me to support a calculating and politically-savvy Clinton as a candidate. It’s also one of the reasons I’m doubtful that Bernie would have been an effective executive.

Trump’s bad behavior was WELL covered. Hillary, however, should hold herself accountable for neglecting campaigning in the Midwest, and instead focusing on fundraising in New York.

The rust belt doesn’t give a shit about student loan refinancing. He did manage to pull her to the left, but I don’t accept the blanket argument that it was a good thing. This election wasn’t necessarily about left vs. right.

jezebel fanboys/girls will always make me laugh

Perhaps all the above is a concerted effort to prevent droids from having instantaneous access to all the data in the universe. By not creating the infrastructure for easy data transmissions and by keeping mass storage facilities analog droids remain subservient.

It wasn’t only the fault of The King of Queens. There were lots of shows with a fat husband and hot wife, like Yes Dear, According to Jim, Still Standing.... oh hey, here’s an extensive list. I wouldn’t have thought of Robert and Cersei Baratheon as examples of this trope, yet they fit perfectly.

Not much to add but I always found it funny how my husband calls that show (and all other horrible sitcom iterations of it) “Fat Guy Hot Wife.” 

Now *that* we agree on.

No, sorry. Kevin had a lot of say on that show and his whole shtick was built around his fatness being funny and loveable, not truly disgusting. If he (and the rest of the show) had the mentality you claim he did, they wouldn’t have paired him with a size 2 knockout like Leah who, despite being working class, somehow

That show was shitty to everyone.

I always think of Leah Remini as that woman on that show that made me realize that there are people out there who think that being shitty to fat men is not just funny but fucking hilarious.

Jesus H. Christmas, are you right. I myself am Asian, but can imagine that a white person might read all this and think ”great, so if I want to do the right thing and try to ask someone nicely, I get my head bitten off and dragged through the mud anyway? Why bother!”

Yeah, because it would have been impossible to write the role for an Asian person without portraying them as a stereotype. /s

No, she took a whitewashed role of her own free will. She is responsible for the consequences.

That house Asian thing is particularly bullshit when Cho has put herself out there as a critic of Swinton getting the role. It’s like, “I speak for Asians when I say we’re upset at you.” “Can you explain why you think people are upset about this thing, so I can understand.” “This bitch thinks I speak for Asians, fuck

Cho has made herself one of the main voices of this debate and was publicly criticizing the movie and Swinton. If someone does that, they can’t then claim that if someone wants to talk about it with them that they are being turned to as the only Asian in the room. She has set herself up as an expert on this issue for

I’m guessing that Cho doesn’t understand why a lot of people are pissed at her. It has nothing to do with her feelings that Asian actors should play Asian roles, which is completely valid. Everyone’s pissed because she took what was supposed to be a private conversation, twisted it into the worst possible
