“Surely moving to Israel will prove that I’m not an insane ethno-nationalist.”

It was a few years ago for me but still relatively fresh, so I was prepared, but yeah I can see not reading the book and finding the whole thing to be a letdown. 

Yeah. Really seems like going just a bit deeper into those relationships in one or two episodes would’ve really smoothed things out for this finish, which I actually thought was pretty good. But then I read the book and knew to some degree what was going to happen. I think they just made it tough for themselves…

I mean I don’t recall it being much more obvious in the book. They clue you into the fact that something is BADLY wrong with Amma how many times. It’s the viewer/reader’s natural instinct to just think of it as a byproduct of the abuse she deals with, but that doesn’t mean that’s the only possible explanation.

I do think there’s something to hearing the lines delivered in the original language, especially when you consider some of the cultural differences in acting style between English and Japanese voice actors but to be honest I’m with the OP. I’m a tv multi-tasker, usually reading a book or playing a game or working…

Sometimes its not even a real surgery. When my kid had nursemaid’s elbow (a type of dislocation) we took her in to have it fixed. Very quick process where the doctor makes two movements and a trapped ligament comes free and you’re all better. Took less than 5 minutes, most of it spent establishing that she did, in…

I had sex with a 17 year old once. I was 18.

Some Big Windup-ass shit

Which is more an indictment of the USA than any sign of Hillary’s progressiveism

It definitely looks like they’re trying to turn Jamie Douglas (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) into Stephen the Mad Irishman.

Just had to forget the memory of the smell of books in my father’s office to make room for this.

No, it doesn’t you fucking idiot. “Believe women” is a slogan, not a policy proposal.

It is with a heavy heart that I must report I laughed really hard at “my astounding and beautiful Nimrod.” 

I think you’re making a mistake here. None of this erases the fact that she and countless others were abused by Harvey Weinstein et al. It’s not a good look but at the end of the day does it really undermine the idea (which is not “believe all women”) that when someone tells you something happened to them you ought to…

Do you understand why, in this day and age, someone might think that filming the police while they make an arrest was a good idea?

This is what I’m saying. I get all the joy of something good happening if the Bears don’t suck and if they do it’s extremely funny. I get no joy from the Packers winning since it happens so often and when they don’t I become like a suicide crisis line for my wife and in laws. I hate it.

Oh, absolutely, and that’s my demographic. My parents, who are Packer fans, were living in Chicago throughout the 80s (hence my being born there, hence Bears and Cubs fandom despite living in Wisconsin since age 6) so they sort of fall into the same black hole.

I am a Bears fan who lives in and mostly grew up in Wisconsin. I tried. I tried to be a Packer fan. Everyone else I know is, including my two year old daughter, so I thought maybe it was time I just joined in. I couldn’t do it. The Bears are a very funny team to root for. There is nothing funny about the Packers.…

Ask Martin Luther King how many guns he kept in his home in case they came for him.

It’s a comment section. You’re not obligated to care that I don’t care and I’m not obligated to care that you don’t care. So what?
