I’ve never seen it in the Filipino side of my family. I’m half Filipino and my hair (when I had hair) looked exactly like his. Maybe it’s how Filipino hair mixes?

Bruno is more Filipino than Puerto Rican. Our indigenous peoples, the Aeta, Ifugao, Tumadok, etc. are Black descendants of a more ancient people. After centuries of colonization, our indigenous peoples retreated to the mountains and others assimilated into life with the colonizers of the time (like the Chinese,…

I mean, there are a couple arguments to be made here.

I LOVE Eccleston but that’s exactly how this sounds to me as well. A similar situation is Mandy Patinkin; one of my all time favorite actors but somehow every major series he works on is problematic and he winds up leaving. I’m astonished he’s still on Homeland after 6 seasons.

He’s coming off as full of himself and looking down on working actors. Hell look at Sir Ben Kingsley the man practically loves doing bit roles in cheesy/terrible films. Eccleston seems like one of those people who despises speculative fiction because they don’t think it’s art.

I read this article and can’t shake that feeling of when one person says everyone else is the problem, look at the common denominator. I don’t really know. Maybe it’s because the last few things I’ve seen him in, he played the villain.

Counterpoint: Trish was the true villain of *this* season because she is *the worst*.

I’m seeing an array of complaints about season 2; as a woman living with PTSD and survivor of long term childhood sexual abuse, the show is right on. Every time I see a tweet saying “Tired old story”, I think, “That’s nice you are fortunate enough to not relate to this.”

I find it more tacky to serve American obesity size plates, so people with a bit more eating tact than a jackal have to leave food on the plate that gets thrown away[*]. When even the appetizers can feed a family of four, the only sane choice then becomes to order from the kids’ menu. If American restaurants started…

I have a few friends who have had gastric bypass surgery, and getting a portion off the kids menu is the only way they can eat out with us. Most restaurants have decided that bigger is better, so it is really hard for them to find a place that serves food in a more manageable size. They always feel bad about it, but I…

This so much! Sometimes people don’t necessarily eat out to “eat out”. You don’t know.. maybe that’s the only time your 14 year old kid actually will talk to you, so you eat out a lot more than you normally would so you can know what’s going on in their life.. or maybe you’re with someone who’s hungry but you’re…

Damn right. Never ever consent to a search of anything (self, vehicle, home). Insist that you do not consent. If the police had a warrant/probable cause, then they wouldn’t be asking for consent. It amazes me how many people consent to searches, knowing that they have things they shouldn’t have.

In the same vein: clients need to be brutally honest with their attorneys. I don’t want my client’s rose-colored or the client’s best version of the events. I want the unvarnished truth, warts and all. That truth is going to come out one way or another; if I know about it ahead of time, I can develop a strategy to…

I will add that defending a person in a criminal case does not mean you condone their actions or behavior. I’m an officer of the court doing my job, I don’t actually think murder and child molestation are cool. I get really sick of laypeople saying “oh, I would never defend that person”, because they have moral…

As a lawyer, I’d add this one: Just because someone is a lawyer doesn’t mean they know anything about the area of law you want to ask about.

As a litigator, I have to say that deadlines and details matter. Ignoring deadlines from the Court (or not responding to your attorney’s calls or emails) can have huge ramifications in a lawsuit. Same with details: I want to know exactly what my client knows, exactly what my client doesn’t know, and what he/she is…

Came here for this. Sending customers away with styrofoam boxes full of rapidly congealing food is tacky.

I normally don’t have a problem with mixing it up in these comment boards (wegotatoughguyoverhere.jpg), but the degree of anger people had about splitting entrees was fucking ridiculous. When I waited tables, I had no issue with people splitting entrees, because it usually meant they were ordering apps (which gave me…

Adult orders are gigantic. I gotta order from the kids menu.

Still disagree that splitting entrees is tacky (if it is, it’s a very puny amount tacky), but totally agree that ordering off the kids menu can be considered tacky
