Despite what certain people would have you think, people won’t think you’re a weird misogynist incel for shrugging off a movie like, eh, it was pretty mediocre and not for me. This goes for The Last Jedi and the Ghostbusters reboot, too.

Mediocrity is a perfectly reasonable reason to not like a movie. If you think the actor’s performance was bad, also valid. However not liking a move because the lead is a “woke bitch with a flat ass” is not OK. 

Be better drivers. Just waiting for the comments to come about “but I see bicyclists do this and that blah blah blah”. Yeah, maybe but they are taking their life into their own hands. They don’t run over cars and kill people, but they are overwhelmingly at danger and face death because of inattentive drivers, angry…

I feel bad for drivers facing these barriers. On one hand - yes, they are trying to save the lives of cyclists like me. But on the other hand, they make it tougher to watch YouTube while driving way over the speed limit. It’s a terrible inconvenience, that. What are they going to do next, force cars to stop before…

yeah im seeing nast as an ally on this one. though irish people might not think so. he is a satirist throwing some rather harsh satire on the institutional nature of racism and the american system, definitely not insulting the poor guy getting stepped on by the moneybags, a guy with a literal knife and a whip in his…

That was my thinking as well. Nast’s Black character is a Union soldier with the American flag, clearly that’s the person we’re supposed to sympathize with.

The caricature of the Irish guy looks a lot more offensive than the black guy getting trampled in that cartoon.

I think you’re doing Nast and Blitt dirty: the former was (notably and commendably, particularly for that era,) commenting on how the 3 competing parties quietly agreed on one issue - keeping blacks “under foot” - and he did so with one of the least-offensive portrayals of race of any of his contemporaries. You also el…

Seems he’ll be going to prison precisely because he has a hard time letting teenagers go.

You dry your dishes by hand? But a dishwasher doubles as a drying rack. I just open the door and leave it that way until things are dry, then put them away. I'm almost never in such a hurry that I have to put away the dishes NOW.

If you’re opening the dishwasher at the end of the cycle to put in the towel, you can just open the dishwasher and let the steam out, no towel required.

The fact that it started when they were young really makes me wonder who was older, what the power dynamic was like and if this is all tied up in childhood trauma.

I assume it's a help type show. So the correct thing to do would find out why they keep giving in. Are thier other issues at play (black mail, family history of abuse, more serious mental illness, threats of self harm), and likely recomend they go get help from a licensed therapist to help them deal with those, or…

You’ve got to wonder if Gilliam (and John Cleese) realize the irony in them becoming exactly the kind of old people that Monty Python mocked all the time.

I mean, who knows if she is actually dead. It is Marvel here lol.

I think Monica flew into the “bubble” on a SWORD copter but once you enter the bubble you are automatically rejiggered to conform to the reality Wanda is creating - so the helicopter turns into a toy, Monica becomes one of the townspeople - although her training and/or recent induction allows her to remember the real…

Agreed. Algebra is actually awesome. As a former woman math/science major, this makes me sad.

A few hours later, I asked my brother for “help” with my algebra homework. By the end of the night, he’d done my homework for me.

While it’s true that a TV series has a lot more time to establish relationships, the MCU had plenty of time for Tony/Bruce, Thor/Loki, Steve/Bucky, Tony/Steve, etc. They even established some good M/F relationships, like Steve/Tasha, Tony/Pepper, etc. They just did effectively zero work establishing any F/F…

I agree that, without explanation, it’s irksome. However my take is that Lila doesn’t absorb just powers, but talents and skills. That’s why I think the dance number I mentioned is important. That’s not a power, it’s a learned skill. She can (in my hypothesis) absorb his learning.
