She had the resources to turn down jobs that weren’t “fun.” Most of us don’t have that luxury.

While I’m sure the wife and mother loved them both and had no part in planning their killings, I do suspect her of involvement with criminal elements that led to these executions. Mexico is a weird place to be “recovering from surgery” when you could do it in the States.

DONE! My email:

How could he not be aware of the stereotype when the crux of the joke is that Black Australians drink a lot? (According to the stereotype)

I think maybe we’re a groundhog’s day situation. I’m going to grab a toaster and get in the tub to test out the theory.

They’re not! Your original point was valid, just aimed at the wrong person which you soon realized and redirected. And I’m not sure why your use of ellipses was apparently so confusing to people, I think it was clear you were just isolating the part of the long quote which you had issue with.

See, the thing is, I don’t think it’s a “poorly calibrated outrage meter” kind of thing. Oh, by the way, is it ok to respond, or does this make it 101 times I asininely respond to someone responding to my asinine remarks? My original comment wasn’t really filled with outrage, at least not enough to be picked up by…

I’ve had so many people mad at me on this thread I can’t even tell if you’re joking or not.

No, you’re right here, and everyone giving you shit about your supposed mistake is wrong. Tyrion is a “dwarf” in the sense that you understood, the pejorative sense, not in the Lord of the Rings, “short human-like creature that lives underground and loves gold,” sense. He is simply a human with dwarfism. A Song of Ice…

Can I raise a motion to never include Seth MacFarlane in Tweet Beat ever again?

Of interest: The porn industry is quicker to drop someone over allegations of rape than the NFL or NCAA.

I never understood the Deen love. Boyish smile or no, I’ve seen him in way too many videos that simulate rape, and I could never understand how someone who purports, even mildly, toward feminist self-identification could justify that.

Don’t know, but I bet if you’d been hugged more as a child you’d be less awful.

She didn’t call any of the victims “rebel hearts”, so I’m calling this a win. This is Madonna, though, so yeah. Tomorrow, the teeter-totter may swing down again.

also it seemed to me that there was a “wear whatever was on the clearance rack”aesthetic to it because lorelai and rory weren’t supposed to have that much money?

I totally disagree. I think that the clothing suited their characters, and that the show did a good job with the time they were working with (early 2000s, not a great time for fashion, but definitely a time when those scarves were everywhere) and also growing with them - Rory’s wardrobe in particular. Rory, at the…

Was it just me, or does it not sound that bad? She went flat for a bit on the big note towards the end, but otherwise I didn't think it was terrible.

I'm a sucker for that kind of scene in anything. The you-underestimated-me-big-mistake-HUGE scene. :)
