Counterpoint: when you’re etching a name into super expensive italian marble, I don’t know, maybe you want to double check it?

Maaaaan, I loved Barbarella when I was a kid. It’s space! It’s boobs! What’s not to love?? Can’t say as a 50 year old I am similarly stoked, as space boobs are a dime a dozen these days. Still, I’d stream this while indulging on a Saturday evening.
Man that looks like it’s gonna take more than a copy paste edit to fix. Somewhere, someone might be very fired. On another note, this article is ironic given the spelling and grammatical errors endemic to stories and posts from this family of sites. Not a complaint, just an observation. There’s a reason I’ve been…
You know, taking one extremely limited experience amongst a people in one place with a tiny sample size and extrapolating it to an entire population is a time-honored tradition. It’s also the reason I’ll never go back to Nebraska- a gas station attendant wouldn’t accept my credit card when my snack purchase was below…
There is no way on god’s green earth that this was intended as a reply to what I wrote. Now the fun begins- let’s see if I can find the actual post you were replying to!
Holy shit I read the first line and thought that they named the child “People”. I need a nap.
Are you saying that maybe- just maybe- the outrage wasn’t real??
Yeah... reading that sentence was like hearing nails on a chalkboard. But editors cost money. And, judging from the number of click-baity slideshows here these days it sure seems like they could use some money. These writers work hard and probably don’t make a ton of cash, so I can’t say I hold them to the standard I…
The name would be a selling point for me, not because I have any special love for it but for the idea that I won’t have to share space with the very specific brand of fool that will be discouraged from dining there. A restaurant that Tucker Carlson wouldn’t be caught dead in immediately has my interest.
That’s just amazing. I’m not mad at him at all.
I default to just looking at the list itself rather than the rationale for each thing positioned in it. I love the real articles on this family of site, but this kind of stuff (though providing fodder for strong opinions) feel one step up from “YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE NOW!!!” ad driven nonsense.
How Yzma and Kronk from the Emperor’s New Groove are not on this list I will never know. In spite of the fact that I sorta loathe David Spade that movie was legit funny, and Eartha Kitt just hit the shit out of the park as the villain. For shame!
But I don’t think that the position of people is that Cosby is good no matter what as much as it is a disbelief in our legal system and the facts arrayed against him. There are plenty of people whom I have prosecuted over the years who had family members who steadfastly refused to believe they were capable of things…
I guess I don’t consider that self-righteousness? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Seems more like what a stereotypical parent would say to a child with a shaky-assed lifeplan, especially parents like mine- first generation college grads who worked their asses off and fought oppression and discrimination to get where they did to raise…
Some people just need to be aggro and combative or argumentative, because they can’t help it- but also some people are just shite at expressing themselves with the written word and come across in a way they don’t intend. I find that my life is better when I just assume positive intent in these situations, even if it…
I’m fairly certain it would have been Wooden Ships. Wooden Ships is literally about sailing through a post-apocalyptic world and the things that the people on the boat see- silver people on the shoreline, etc etc. At least this is what he said it was about in the documentary released several years ago that basically…
Mario Kart: the game that costs the same as it did a billion years ago. It always amazes me at how long Nintendo first party games hold their value.
It’s alright- why certain figures become cultural icons are often a mystery to people who aren’t part of that culture. There are plenty of people straight and gay who worship Judy Garland. I mean, The Wizard of Oz rocked and she seemed cool, but... that’s a mystery to me. I think what gets people in trouble is when…
Gotta admit, as a teenager in the 80's, the “self-righteousness” that you saw in his show escaped me then and escapes me now. Can’t say I have any idea of what you’re talking about. It was a show about a successful family and the drama inherent in having five kids. They loved each other, had a good time, looked like…
The self-righteousness didn’t really kick in until the early 90's. The other thing you have to remember is that he was a black guy who was super successful and super loved by EVERYONE, especially black people like my parents, and by people like me who weren’t used to seeing ourselves portrayed as we are in real life.…
