I mean, the guy’s in his mid-twenties. That’s younger than her for sure, but we live in a world where men have more agency with their bodies and careers than women, especially by the point they’ve been legally adults for a while. It’s kind of icky, but let’s not compare this to an adult grooming a teenager or a…

You should know that your attitude is specifically what the medical community says is the wrong response to people suffering from suicidal ideation. No one dies by suicide because they think it’s the easier choice. People die by suicide because they think it’s their last available option.  You should seriously…

I’m guessing they’re referring to Biden vs. Trump, but that might be the more generous interpretation.

I mean, at the end of the day, isn’t that just annotation? A message before the warning starts that puts it in context, so folks without the historical understanding of white supremacy in America don’t just gloss over that for the sake of appreciating the movie?

I mean, the big example everyone is using is Gone with…

Yeah, two months later, after video evidence went public.

Come on, season 2 has been out for a year.  How long do we have to protect spoilers?

It’s the Star Wars universe, the bar is preeeeeeeeeeetty low

I mean, I’m a man and I can’t think of a legitimate circumstance in which someone platonically touches my chest.

Tina?

I mean, there are people who were alive during that period, and there are people whose parents and grandparents were directly affected by this. It’s hard to just ‘get over’ that sort of thing.

source? big if true

Can you show me where it’s saying that people shouldn’t be buying SUVs, rather than that it looks like the market is going to shrink for SUVs in the near future?  I don’t see that written or even implied in the article.  The only thing specific to quality I see is in reference to the ‘very big and very good’ Kia…

This may seem harsh, but really, white people have their own rich cultural traditions, including *checks notes* Steely Dan, unseasoned food, and how the kids need another layer of sunscreen.

Same! I wanted that jacket so bad.

Also, I can still hear the announcer say his name. “Volt KRUEger.”

agreed.  I don’t use a cloud service, but it’s nice to keep the database as well as a portable version of keepassx for windows on a thumb drive, for offline occasions.  I periodically work in a lab with no external internet access, and it’s nice to have something that works locally.

Woof.  Lambs are real cute, especially when they’ve got the big floppy ears, but I do hate when it’s time for banding.

Seconded.  Good shepherds condition their sheep to be used to being handled periodically - in addition to being sheared, we occasionally have to trim their hooves to keep them from getting too long, de-worming them twice a year, and giving them shots every once in a while.  other than the shots, most of the time…

He’s always going to be that one guy in the first TMNT movie, declaring his LOYALTY TO THE SHREDDA
