How would your opinion be unpopular when it’s pretty much common sense. Allergic reactions happen. It’s not the fault of the manufacture unless they’ve knowingly included chemicals that are known to be harmful to a large number of people. Sometimes personal hygiene items can cause reactions including painful rashes.…

My suggestion would be go to the library. That way there’s no temptation to buy a coffee and you can still use the wifi for doing useful things like filling out job applications.

It is definitely short sighted and counter productive. The same with putting someone in jail. I know that these are supposed to be last resort methods for people who won’t even pay a reduced amount and who skip court dates but, ultimately, it makes it ten times harder to work to pay the child support. I think if the…

And the coffee line. If you’re scraping together change, maybe you can’t really afford to hang out in the local coffee shop. Yes, I know this sounds judgmental and I usually don’t begrudge poor people having some ‘luxuries’. I’ve had times when I had very little money but managed to buy a coffee or something sweet at…

You’re not being an asshole, you’re being a realist. Yes, it does suck that he is unable to make a living from what he really wants to do. It sucks that he has to work only to see his paycheck eaten up by garnishments. But, at the end of the day, when you have kids, you have a responsibility to take care of them…

But of course black people are just being crazy when we talk about the war on drugs being a conspiracy against black people. The government would never do anything like that.

Seriously. I get my bras from Woman Within and I only buy one type because the other ones in my size have super thin straps. I’m wearing a 50j right now. There’s no way I’m going to wear a bra with what looks like camisole straps. If I’m going to spend the money on a bra, I want the straps to be sturdy and the bra to…

He totally is. There really isn’t anything particularly memorable about him

I think it’s more that they don’t want to cast a mega-popular actor. Will Smith is famous but his movies have been kind of meh lately. Same with Affleck. They cost but maybe not as much as someone’s who’s coming off of a massive hit. Or someone who will likely be tapped for another movie and wouldn’t be available for…

I agree. As pissed off as I might be, I don’t think it would ever dawn on me to send someone a death threat over some bullshit. But some people have no sense of scale and love the drama that is internet outrage.

True. I can see going for the fun, after party vibe after a day of professional activities but you’re right, appropriate clothing would have been ideal. Or at least not terrible stripper wear.

This is such an obvious thing but I’m pretty sure that that it never dawned on anyone involved in the planning. In an industry that’s seeming full of straight men, it’s not surprising that the entertainment is going to be geared towards straight men in the most stereotypical way possible. Like you said, the smart…

I’m trying to find something that’s a reasonably healthy alternative to my usual hard boiled egg, turkey sausage, cereal combo. Oatmeal has been the number one suggestion from my trainer but I can’t find a way to make it that actually makes me want to eat it. The instant stuff has a gross consistency and the flavored…

I always figured it was standard practice. Niche marketing has always been a thing

As has already been pointed out, these are primarily ensemble movies. She was great as Uhura but Gamora could have been played by anyone. In terms of opening a movie as the headliner, not so much. There’s no indication that Saldana is bringing anything so unique to the role that only she could play Simone.

Especially since Zoe Saldana barely counts as a bigger name. I like her and I’ve liked movies that she’s been in but she doesn’t strike me as a massive box office draw - at least not in the sense that the film would have received no backing if she was not cast in the main role. This would have been an excellent chance…

Yes it is if they chose to move forward with the production. Did they even make an effort to cast a dark skinned, larger featured woman in the role or was Zoe Saldana - who is not really that much of a box office draw - really the only, only person they could find? Undoubtedly they know about the importance of Nina…

Or don’t run at all but gradually work towards speeding up the pace or increasing the distance/time that you walk. Running is excellent exercise for some people but if you’re heavier, have knee/ankle/foot problems, or respiratory issues, it just may not be for you. Which is fine as long as you do something else that…

Which is why I can’t be bothered with them right now. I need something that doesn’t look like a bedazzled curtain that manages to be both too tight and too loose at the same time.

So much patterned blousiness and polyester. And sad proof that big women have been subjected to either ridiculous prints or slimming/camouflage items since forever.
