I like LeGuin’s work, but I’m not sure how it’s particularly “feminist”. In both the Left Hand and The Dispossessed most of the characters are dudes. The Gethens change their genders at the time of fertility, but they are sexless the rest of the time, not feminine.

Aliens will never invade because there’s nothing here they can’t get elsewhere without resistance. Water, organic, gold, oil, iron, salt, uranium, whatever. Lifeless planets and asteroids are full of that shit. Slave labor? They’ve got robots. Food? You think you’re going to taste good to something that evolved in a…

I don’t know if this makes me a bad person, but even though I agree with the politics of this show 100%, I really dislike it. It’s just full of Bourgie, cliquey, frat kids that I would hate if they were any color or political stripe. Can’t relate.

This occurred to me immediately. It’s like autism and vaccines. The alt-med people need us to demonize and mistrust the modern, scientific way of doing things to legitimize themselves and bring in the business. Never mind that almost no one dies in childbirth anymore just like no one is crippled by polio. Hospitalized…

I’ll cop to the fact that misogyny played a role in folks not coming out to vote for HRC, but she also ran a piss poor champaign and was sidelined by her morally bankrupt husband’s past. I also blame Obama for some of this mess. He said himself that his failure was to not educate people on his accomplishments. They do…

I’d love a link because I’m pretty sure I’m not doing what your article says I am. It’s been proven in other countries that making someone into a baffoon doesn’t keep people from voting for them. Witness Rob Ford, Sergio Berlusconi, or Boris Johnson. I think it’s a World War II thing. Ridiculing Hitler like he was a…

It’s not about you and your inner brain. It’s about slipping into a rut of going after the petty things thinking that’s a good strategy. It obviouslyisn’t.

Because it feeds his constituents. It also looks like that’s all we can come up with. Like desperate pettiness. And it didn’t work. The Italians know this with Berlusconi. Only attacking the issues works. Plus, there is nothing laughable about this man. He’s not funny or offish. He’s a fucking terror.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What a clown. Ha, ha, ha. Well, the clown won the election. Obviously making fun of his idiot foibles didn’t work. Let’s focus on his policies which are much more horrifying than some tape on his tie.

I’m so tired of white guys congratulating other white guys.

I love her.

That’s a shame. I’d take my daughter to see a little girl kicking ass all over the place. I don’t know why Jackman thinks graphic violence equals some kind of authenticity. It’s a fucking comic book movie.

Man, the MPAA plants are thick around here, and they know how to use GIFs!

Cool man, keep feeling superior on the internet.

The studio isn’t losing money if I would have never bought it in the first place. There was no way I was ever going to watch Superman vs Batman if I had to pay for it. Not a slender chance in hell. And I would never give WB even a dollar reward for making that crap. So there’s the answer to your second question.…

It’s more like you’re engaging in truthiness. It *feels* like theft to you, but it isn’t. Not one’s taking anything from anyone. Nothing is being lost because nothing would have been gained. I know you want to make this connection between physical thievery and watching a movie without paying directly for it. I suppose…

You’re still not explaining the difference as it relates to the studio’s bottom line. You can quote me pencil on paper morality until you are blue in the face.

I just switched to Safari from using Firefox since inception and Netscape before that. It may not last, but for right now Safari is super fast and scrolls like butter on all my devices. FF becomes slower and slow over a matter of hours until it needs a restart. And IOS FF doesn’t have any content blocking abilities.…

Another person confusing physical objects with ephemeral bits and bytes. How many times have you watched that MPAA warning video? You still haven’t answered what the difference is between me “stealing” it and simply not seeing it. In fact, you almost made it seem like the theft was a positive.
