I like Arthur Davill, but I detest Rip Hunter. If his story can be done this season that would be great.

Not that I’ve seen the movie, but the rebooted Lara Croft game wasn’t really supposed to be an giddy adolescent adventure. It was supposed to be a redefining of a character from a pretty brazenly objectified character to someone possessing a personality (that was the intention anyway - she is still objectified, just a

Counterpoint: Junkrat is amazing.

In fairness, almost anyone would be a better Secretary of Education than Devos. I could throw a dart in a crowd, and after the tetanus shot that person would make a better Secretary of Education. Hell, I’m currently more qualified than her, because I have a Master’s Degree in Education, and my first act as Secretary

Nothing kills a good Netflix binge-watching session like a really long show intro

Aim to masturbate for about 20-30 minutes every day

I fixed it for you.

That always baffles me. When you don’t know someone, you often use “they” in the singular, so why is it that it seems to get people irritated when it comes to gender non-conforming people?

I liked Sara recognizing and identifying Tommy, though they had never actually had a scene together on Arrow, but of course would have known each other growing up.

Where did you get this information? I have a masters degree in polymer science and both silicone rubber and vulcanized natural rubber have excellent resistance to isopropyl alcohol.

Malcolm Gladwell’s schtick is telling catchy stories then acting like they reveal some universal truth.

This should just read “Malcolm Gladwell is a Myth”

I wish it had another category for areas that might be a bit more dangerous. That’s one of the things I like to know when visiting new cities

I remember when me and my parents went to Cambodia as embassy workers during my childhood in the early to mid 90s. It was the last days of UNTAC and Cambodia was transitioning back to a constitutional monarchy.

Once when I, an American, was traveling out of the country, someone stopped to ask for directions. Of course I couldn’t help the man, but I was super proud to have blended in so well.

What I’ve found in my travels and moving to another country is that you’re going to mess up and be rude no matter how many rules you study beforehand... and that you’ll generally be forgiven if your general attitude is one of, “I know I’m a stupid foreigner. Please forgive me for what I don’t know and teach me.”

Which is a little nicer than the song’s original meaning, which is basically about a drifter bragging about all the teenage girls he screws, such a wholesome tune

I like how someone suddenly feeling a degree of empathy toward the terrible situation of someone else is seen as offensive, because their empathic response is flawed or incomplete due to ignorance/inexperience.

While the effort is appreciated, the process itself should perhaps remain behind closed doors.

I suggest, much like we figured out tabs vs. spaces, is see who makes the most money between gif vs jif users. Because as we all know, money solves all arguments. Also, it’s gif because if you have to write jif just to show an alternate pronunciation, then I’ll pronounce it the ways it’s spelled....gif.
