She was never that good of an MMA fighter. She had 1 big skill and no real coaching. As the level of athletes increased and people’s skill levels went up, she just stayed the same.

You’re spot on with the mentor/father-figure assessment. The fanboy in me hopes that Alton was supportive/encouraging with him following the pilot cancellation rather than the later...but you never know what goes down behind the scenes of the Mark Summers’ edible empire.

Not even a petty celebrity story, but it’s the only one I have, so I’ll share it since it’s super awkward:

Yeah! This whole thread is weirdly judgey, let the rich woman live her insane rich-woman life. But don’t let her assault people. 

Ha! If so, she hasn’t let me know yet because she is a teeny, tiny bit scared of me. Probably my heathen ways.

The language around suicide has changed, in large part as an effort to remove the attendant shame and guilt associated with the former phrasing. Suicide attempts used to be illegal, and saying someone “committed” suicide carries with it the connotation of criminal activity (i.e., “committed murder”). Suicide survivors…

You’re making a lazy, dull argument. A Chinese filmmaker can cast whomever he or she wants; the white savior trope you’re knee-jerk reacting to isn’t pervasive in the Chinese film industry. And it’s not uncommon at all for American filmmakers to twist or alter aspects of their films to appease Beijing or render their…

True, but the high level guards are usually gameplay mechanics, rather than an aspect of the narrative.

The decision to vote either Trump or Clinton is not a simple difference of opinion. The man is openly hostile towards women, immigrants, people of color, and, to a lesser extent, LGBT folks (although Pence more than makes up for it on that front). And this doesn’t even take into account how erratic and capricious he…

Easy. Your country is full of terrified, racist, sexist assholes.

This is ‘Merica! It is our God given right to get shit faced in dangerous situations.

Did you stop and wonder why twitch doesn’t already have such rules?

Widowmaker is half-French, and half-spider, you fucking Trump-voting bigot.

I would do terrible, terrible things for a proper 76 skin featuring him in a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and flip flops.

I hope this has been mentioned around here before, and I don’t expect anyone cares, but historically “man” was a gender-neutral term (back in the middle ages the prefixes wer- and wif- specified “male man” or “female man”). This has a legacy in our modern language in the same sort of way that words that came to us…

This is a complicated and fraught topic, one that deserves a more thoughtful take than the one offered by Ms. Moskovitz. This is not about some cruel effort by men to define and control women’s bodies, as she glibly asserts. It’s about trying to create an environment where women have a chance to compete and succeed,…

Compared to the current look of her, absolutely, I do think the jester outfit is superior to it, I just think there’s room to try another outfit entirely and try to make a second iconic look.

That “silly jester outfit” is the reason she became the breakout character she is. It’s the reason she stood out from every other clown dressed joker henchman. And it’s more iconic than anything else DC, Rocksteady or WB have forced on her since.

Holy shit - this is just a straight forward informative post explaining the answer to an interesting question. Well done.

I’m not sure about the houses themselves but a lot of this is built with Hirst Arts molds:
