If Soap Opera-style aging for Cassie Lang gets us to a functional Stature, so be it.

Wavy Lays are pretty excellent for dips. They’re bland in a good way so basically just the dip flavor shines through, uniform, and physically strong enough to handle even thick dips. I agree regular Lays are trash.

The Division 1, Destiny 2, Elite, and No Man’s Sky are all open world/Online games that took as much as a year of bugfixes, expansions and QoL improvements to get into proper shape.

It’s absolutely blackface, are you kidding?

POC lightening their skin is controversial and condemned in many places.

“isn’t it about time to take a more nuanced look..”

I used to go to public courses with my uncle from time to time.  Definitely not rich republicans.

“ I could give PLENTY of examples where I say something and it’s taken the wrong way and “words were put in my mouth”. 

Why say Jagged Little Pill is bad?  It’s really good, for a certain time in  a life.  A lot of music and literature is like that.

Grammarians loved Stannis

This seems fine to me.  In the wake of the Schnatter fiasco, it’s obvious  Papa Johns needs a new advertising mascot, and they need to diversify their leadership culture, and Shaq has a long pre-existing experience with being a franchisee/restauranteur.  It’s transparent marketing but it’s always been transparent…

There are definitely some kinda chubby pro gamers, but very few are obese and most that I’ve seen are just random average dudes.  

This article should be rewritten top to bottom in order to create a coherent narrative that explains to the reader what Elena Bergeron’s leaving has to do with...anything else in the universe. Because this article completely fails to do that.

I was fine with the twist, but there’s an awful, awful lot of Not-Iron Man in IM3.  It’s a decent enough Shane Black buddy action movie but not a great IM movie, IMO.

There was controversy at the time about how the movie would handle the Mandarin, and IMO, IM3 was just okay. Better than IM2, but lower half MCU overall.

May I ask where you get the 117 million from? That’s significantly higher than the numbers I’ve seen, and once you factor in marketing and the heavy foreign loaded box office (foreign dollars are nice but harder to recoup in real world terms than domestic) the numbers for that movie are not good. But you miss my…

Apparently no one has seen Definitely Maybe, which I thought was charming.

Perhaps a movie like Civil War gives audiences a chance to see an actor like Bruhl and go “Hey, this guy was good as Captain Evil. Maybe I’ll check out his other stuff.” (Ironic given Thor was the other lead in Rush, which was a little financial failure of a movie that could use all the ancillary exposure from “evil”…

There’s garbage music in every generation, people just filter the good stuff and forget all the mediocre-to-bad stuff in their personal timelines of music fandom.

I feel like there’s a better timeline where this series learned a completely different set of lessons from the various shortcomings of Far Cry 2, developed in a completely different direction, and that’s the series I wish I was playing. Ah well.  To put it another way, Crafting, Base Capturing, and wacky enemy…
