Uh, they attempted to settle with the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs refused to take it.

If you want to talk about wasteful, let’s talk about dairy farming in California. California’s got a uniquely good climate for growing nuts, but there’s no fucking reason that dairy cows should be grown there instead of other places with less pressure on the water supply.

Manganese’s atomic symbol is not Mi.

Given that the theater chain tried to settle the case (which means paying the plaintiffs to drop the suit), and the plaintiffs rejected it, I can’t see how they’re in the wrong.

Okay, so you recognize that the theater chain wasn’t at fault for the shooting. It’s not their fault that these families filed a lawsuit against them. It’s not their fault the plaintiffs refused to accept a settlement. And now they’ve agreed not to attempt to recover their legal fees, meaning they spent a shit ton of…

Hospitals shouldn’t “absorb” costs like that. That doesn’t make the costs go away, it just further distorts the market for health care that fucks things up for all of us.

Yeah, it seems like pretty much everyone was expecting this.

Those lazy moms, insisting on accompanying their children to the hospital.

I definitely would suggest reading it before seeing the movies, yes. It’s very richly imagined and also just very very out there and I think you’d be missing something by not having the chance to imagine it yourself before you see the movie and take in how other people imagine it.

I don’t think an adaptation of A Wrinkle In Time would be likely to be particularly informed by Lord of the Rings or Narnia, but I think it’s a little weird to think it’s actively desirable not to have seen them.

You’ve decided to throw your vote away on someone who promotes all sorts of bizarre pseudoscientific nonsense and whose economic ideas range from terrible and mutually contradictory to strings of incomprehensible word salad.

Huh, I guess that means no one can defend what you said.

Why are straight dudes so angry about balls. I bet Jussie Smollett’s balls are on point.

I am just pleased as hell to see something besides the weird fucking adoration that got directed at that asshole.

But, like, that’s a big part of the POINT of Buffy. The text of the show makes it clear that the Watchers assigned the awful responsibility of being the Slayer to someone powerless, and then subsequently had to cope with the difficulties created by the fact that she was powerful and they couldn’t control her. That was…

I never said you were “pro-Trump”, so keep your “so-called” to yourself. Shit you are dumb.

So, uh, you’re asking me how not being stupid is working out for me?

*strains eyeballs from rolling them so hard*

Jamaica Kincaid does not need to tell them to bring back that racist asshole.

I am going to assume nothing.
