It was overblown until she joined in.

She didn’t get any preferential treatment, and as she hardly needed the boost, I don’t think it’s likely she listed herself as native with the expectation of preferential treatment. We can’t prove what her intentions were in her head, but it’s an objective fact that she did not get preferential treatment.

It’s not fishy. It’s just that the media cares about nothing except palace intrigue and personalities. Politicians are celebrities now, the whole thing is performance. These are the things the media covers because they run in those same circles. Native people mostly don’t, and their issues don’t at all. If we were to…

If she’s the front runner, then we are all screwed. Might as well nap through the election media coverage, go vote against the Reps symbolically on election day, and then endure more years of GOP. She will not win, she’s a terrible candidate, and it’s not even worth getting worked up over.

I do this today. I love it. 

I love them. I like the silver tinsel and the fake white plastic. I love real trees too, but if I’m getting a fake tree, I don’t want it to be a pretend real tree. I want it to be shiny and gloriously fake, then I pick a color and add those decorations. This year I’m fake white plastic tree with hot pink balls, pink…

I don’t get the attempt to make the story feminist in the first place by supposedly empowering the woman.

Wait. Amy Schumer and Chuck Schumer are related?

I mean... I don’t know. How helpful is shit like this? I think it’s important for everyone to be able to recognize that they have been conditioned by the same forces, and those forces act on people differently. So if you are a man or a white person and you are one of the “goods” that should mean you are aware of the…

Nah, it’s not something I hold against him. The context in which he said it was referring to the hot sex between his characters on GoT, and I think some of those plot lines are super problematic, but he isn’t the person who wrote them. The woman is in a shit situation, her husband has no concern for consent, she…

I love his Instagram account, and unless he did something actually mean or cruel, there is no way he could become unfuckable IMO. Personally I don’t think he’s fake or pretentious. Wrapped up in himself- absolutely. But he seems genuinely energetic and life-loving and harmless. Part of his appeal is that he has chosen…

Sure but what he wants is attention, so in that case, he wins.

Not a fair choice. One is a subtype of the other. Though you can be a misanthrope without being an incel, you can’t be an incel without also being a misanthrope.

For a proper choice, we must ask: Asexual or Misanthrope?

Really? If that’s the case...

What’s bizarre is a person that A) thinks of sci fi movies in terms of what is passionately defended by liberals, B) thinks the divide in opinions about said sci fi movies is political in the first place, C) is so obsessed with this very niche (and almost entirely projected) divide that he finds a way to bring it up…

Lol. Yup, it is! If it’s a verb, it’s almost always “affect”.

Your choices are:

This will have no effect on any of our lives.

Or

This will affect none of our lives.

Wait a minute. You mean I have to make the V Day Eiffel Tower booking in advance? Or that super spies are only interested in ice skating astronaut brides? Because you’re seriously dashing some of my highest hopes here.

As for why I give a shit, I’ve already answered that question in a lot of detail, so no reason to repeat or go in circles.

As for it being disrespectful, unless you are the sort of person who believes that the expression of any disagreeing viewpoint is disrespectful, then you really can’t back this up. I’m not at your…

lol I haven’t seen Crazy Rich Asians yet but everything I hear about it is good. It lives in the same place in my mind as Monsoon Wedding and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Both of which I enjoyed enough so maybe I should see it. Yes about superstition, same same. It can be really hard on average income folks though.

No, where you are confused is thinking this is some slight or trick. I’m diminishing the importance of a wedding because I don’t think they are important. That’s my point, over and over again from the beginning. I’m not sure why you’d think I was trying to do that in a snarky way. I’m very clearly stating that a…
