I dunno. I love that silly assassin’s kingdom shit. I don’t know why I get such joy from scenes where you see all the assassins’ cell phones light up at the same time.

It’s the matter-factness that Viggo delivers the speech with that completely sells it. “He is creature of focus, commitment, and sheer will. Something you know very little about.”

Disagree. Chapter 2 wasn’t as good as JW but I really enjoyed how it went HAM on the ridiculousness. I knew it was really good when(spoiler alert) JW let the woman kill herself instead of him doing it. I was afraid he might forgive her, or team up with her, or that she might come close to beating him, or that he would…

I didn’t hate it, but I much prefer the elegant simplicity of the first film.

You’re doing an awful lot of projecting onto Ariely’s pretty bland statement that both the asking and the agreeing are mistakes. For one, you seem to be suggesting, or at least hinting at the possibility, that the author’s sex partner had a premeditated plan to manipulate her. You don’t know that; he too could have…

what. the. fuck.

wait what?

When’s the article coming about Greg Howard sexually assaulting a former Gawker writer?

That isn’t really a response to anything, more like side-stepping the issue. My point was that you are refusing to learn and grow, and you proved that for me. Thanks.

And you, sir, are part of the problem.

Really? So it is impossible to disrespect white dudes or make them feel less than?

You still haven’t actually supplied anyone else to be a target of your statement. And now you are just trying to side-step the issue. Again, if you were not target just white dudes with your comment, name who else was included. If you can’t, just admit that you were targeting white dudes.

Counterpoint: The fratty punkishness you now disclaim was pretty fashionable in (even the liberal) blogosphere back in the Daulerio days, but now it is very gauche, so better mea culpa up while you can. In ten years we’ll have a better political culture with less liberal anxiety, and PC handwringing will again be seen…

He is saying that by making the only valid target white men, you necessarily give white men a reason to be afraid. And if they are afraid, they will turn to things to help them feel powerful.

Your piece is thougtful and I have to take your evolution at face value. But here’s where your sincerity and attempt to be reasonable falls blatantly short...

How many Barstool employees have you actually met?

How very Christian of you to point out your own flaws, promise to change your ways, while simultaneously and viciously attacking those who have not yet reached your level of ‘enlightenment.’

I had to stop reading after two paragraphs of self-flagellation. I couldn’t even make it to the football picks because I kept seeing pieces of skin go flying off your back like this was Passion of the Christ or something.

Drew – Your “reckoning” rings hollow. It’s easy to regret your sexist and homophobic comments now that you’ve plied them (among other things) to become successful and wealthy. And your “reckoning” will help keep you successful and wealthy given that your readership base has become progressive and left-leaning. Seems…
