It really really is. They usually are 'real' police. If it's a small college they're often moonlighting officers for the town's force, and either small or large they're usually cross-deputized so they can enforce law just like a city police officer. Universities keep things as insular as they can, including their…

That's the joke. The entire "controversy" has completely bypassed the issue Colbert and his writers were ridiculing in the first place: How in 2014, a team can still be called the Redskins. It's satirizing how we're so numb to the fact that Redskins is a long-defined racial slur but gooks and other words instantly set…

So you mean that the 2nd layer of satire was a bridge too far?

The vet told my parents our dog was having a false pregnancy.

Pierogi.

The vamp cabal is pulling the strings with the bitchy wolves. The pull the strings with everyone.

I also watch these kind of shows and, as a pregnant woman, I have thought of these creepy stories more than once.

Witches are everywhere, man.

That's actually not how it works in the real world. And coercions =/= consent.

Then why do all his pictures look exactly the same? Why do all of the models' accounts match up with each other? It sounds pretty systematic to me.

The fact that things are shitty elsewhere does not absolve Mr. Richardson of anything. There is no set order to when we address the shitty things wrong with the world. The argument "there is still child slavery so why are we even talking about this?" is both intellectually lazy and completely dodges the issue at hand.

You can still be about spontaneity if you ask the model beforehand if she likes to have the photographer pull out his dick. No one is saying you have to plan out the whole shoot. Ms. Peck is only arguing that there should be a conversation about boundaries before the shoot.

He does know this. He chooses not to go the obvious route because then he wouldn't be exploiting women, and it's the exploitation—not the nudity or whatever specific acts he does or gets them to do—that gets him off.

Exactly. I've been thinking about that sort of scare lately, and I wonder if scare chords don't actively work against the desired effect. Jump scares are cheap, but they are an invaluable tool when used right, and I've noticed that the ones that keep me up at night are either silent or use natural noise that the…

I was super saddened by this. I'm always hunting for the next good scare, and when I saw everybody raving about this I got excited. But it just didn't do it for me. :( It's a great short, it's just that the ending fell flat for me.

Oh man I don't know about that. The loans are stressful, yes, but never have I felt that I lost my youth—on the contrary, college defined my youth by giving me an opportunity to explore, and establish my individuality. Perhaps that isn't the practical purpose of a university, but the exploration it can foster is…

All your old friends are still here! I've been here since January and work on Saturdays. Everyone else you've mentioned works during the week!

I'm reading my wife's manuscript and also starting They'd Rather Be Right (the second Hugo winner) for my Hugo/Nebula project. Almost impossible to find it but thankfully a librarian friend of mine found an old, dilapidated copy in their system.

I prefer to be seen naked by people I have chosen to see me that way, and also it's not my best look when I'm squishing myself into jeans or something and because of things I saw working retail I know people tape and photograph people changing sometimes as well as the fact that many changing rooms have been pooped in.

I would suggest that numbers four and five actually suggest a commitment to quality teaching, rather than the opposite. Three new class preps a year is actually a hell of a lot of class preps; it means doing background research, planning lectures, coming up with assignments, and settling on a grading system for three…
