“Yes, it’s true six flags flew over Texas. It’s also true that this company is named Six Flags. BUT IS THAT REALLY THE CONNECTION? IT COULD JUST BE A CONVENIENT COINCIDENCE!” My eyes are about to roll out of my head.

YOU seem to care, a whole fucking lot! Enough to keep commenting endlessly on this thread. Seriously, come on. You were ignorant of the reasoning behind the name, people pointed it out, you got mad and tried to make this an argument about something else so you wouldn’t be wrong. Admit it, own it, move on with your…

...What other reason would they have for naming the park that? Are you implying they wanted to be SIX CONFEDERATE FLAGS OVER TEXAS, but then added the other flags as a convenient cover?

Literally nobody is arguing in defense of the statues or the flags. It is a historical fact that six flags have flown over Texas. You don’t get to say it’s “not real history” because you don’t like that fact, for some reason? I don’t see anyone here arguing that a park founded with a section and flag celebrating the…

I didn’t know the park was originally themed with a Confederate area, and agree the flag should have gone with it. But I don’t understand this person acting like the whole Six Flags thing is revisionist history. I remember learning about it in 7th grade history class, “Do you guys know why Six Flags is called that?”…

You have chosen a really strange hill to die on.

This argument is continually stupid. The idea that the media should ONLY focus on the “important” issues while our president acts unhinged is ridiculous. He’s not “distracting” and no one is “falling for his tricks.” He is under a barrage of press because he’s doing insane shit. The media can cover all of it and if…

I just used the kitchn’s technique the other day (there is probably a reason it’s the first thing that pops up when you google) with the salt brine, and I am kicking myself for ever having cooked chicken any other way. It cooked perfectly and stayed super moist, and I ended up eating one half that was intended for a…

It’s expensive in terms of time, which families with working parents especially will value differently. I’m cooking for one, and when I meal prep it’s an endeavor of at least an hour every 4-5 days, and that’s just one meal. If I’m cooking beans or lentils, I have to plan ahead when I’m going to cook them and remember…

Carmike is not a competing chain- AMC bought out Carmike and is losing money on the deal. They bought a lot of smaller, and many of them aging theaters, and then pushed AMC policies on them and tried to get rid of a lot of things that customers liked and expected, like $5 Tuesday movie nights. (In order to get the…

Positive, I’ve never spent paragraphs on the internet shaming women I don’t know and then defending myself for my backwards views.

Tourists yes, but also just a city where a lot of people use mass transit thing.

Yep, but not an arrogant sexist one!

What are you, 12?

Ok I take it back, keep embarrassing yourself.

Just stop talking .

No.

Like how Muslims as a whole are never judged for the acts of a few extremists?

No. You don’t know anything about this woman or her personal motives, she has typically always done smaller indie films, and she has continued working in Hollywood, DESPITE negative publicity and ugliness about her divorce probably costing her roles. Assuming a woman is a gold digger solely because she dates men who…

What a dickish statement completely unrooted in reality.
