This is what bothers me the most about these incidents. Unlawful force is a fancy way of saying: assault and battery. They should be held to the same standard as regular people.

Yes, she was buying packs of 12 oz cans of seltzer. They tried to do a fugitive-style take down, including one officer jumping on her hood, weapon drawn. She very sanely thought she was being attacked and sped off.

They are looking for any evidence what so ever that this was not the evil killing of a small child. Anything, however slight, will be used to prove that Tamir Rice would keeled over and died any way that day.

I’ve gotten lots of negs in online dating, like, “It’s too bad you are so tall, you’re really cute otherwise.” The idea is that I’m supposed to respond by trying to convince him that I’m not too tall and he should really like me. It’s shifting the conversation so I’m now trying to impress him, not the other way…

His neg, though I can’t remember the exact wording, was something like “it’s a shame that other men don’t normally like heavy women, you have a pretty good face...” and I was just like “I have no problem getting men but I am suspecting that given your face, stature, general smell, and whatever you just tried to pull…

Some dude tried to neg me at a pub last week (quote: “I normally don’t like brunettes, but you make it work for you”) and I was like “thanks for the information” and then ignored him in favor of baseball. After a few minutes he wandered off looking forlorn. He must have forgotten to read the rest of the manual.

Oh that’s easy. You give this out to both the boys and the girls, but the last line of the girls’ one says “if any dude tries this on with you, use the single most powerful weapon you possess: LAUGHTER.”

Now I see that my cat has been reading this, and it all is so obvious. Like when I wake up in the middle of the night to find him lording over me staring with murder in his eyes, I sometimes catch his eye quickly and (like the email) he breaks eye contact like it was an accident and leaps off the bed making a loud…

AND, Blazing Saddles is subtle and nuanced compared to having a Native woman squatting and peeing and smoking a peace pipe. It actually portrays and lampoons racism. And the only “native’ characters speak Yiddish, which unlike having characters with names like “Beaver’s Breath”, is actually “ridiculous”.

Apparently they’re NOT “in on the joke”.... Otherwise there wouldn’t be walk-offs, tears, protests, and general outcry. Studio is spinning the usual lies it has to spin in order to gaslight everyone into believing Everything Is Just Fine, Business As Usual, Lighten Up & Take A Joke.

It looks like Netflix is standing behind Team Sandler. The Defamer article had this update.

Watch Smoke Signals instead.

They just told us, ‘If you guys are so sensitive, you should leave.’ I was just standing there and got emotional and teary-eyed. I didn’t want to cry but the feeling just came over me.

Why is Adam Sandler.

Fun fact: “canola” is allegedly a contraction of “Canada oil”, which was a marketing decision because of the unfortunate double meaning of “rape”. Why the hell no one changed this sign at that point is beyond me, though.

I mean, if Christian Bale thinks you’re being an asshole...

Sure, because those are the ONLY two options in the world - starvation, or hawking up priced Target goods.

A god of death is usually peaceful and doesn't create death, they have to provide solace to those who have have to cope with the reality that they just lost everything they have lived for, forever. With this information, Totoro would be the opposite of bloodthirsty, and be extremely passive and compassionate, running…

You know, I don't think that this theory is supposed to make Totoro out as a "bloodthirsty monster of death" - more like an omen of death, if anything (that said, as the creators have outright shot it down, I'd say that it's highly unlikely that it's actually true)
