C’mon, it means “garlic field” in Algonquian! It’s beautiful!
“Mentally healthy teenagers” is an oxymoron, myself included.
As opposed to the East?
Almost “addictive,” not addicting. Sympathetic focus, not “empathetic” focus. Damn, millennials are hardly literate.
Speaks multiple foreign languages. Strike two.
I call bullshit, no self-respecting American refers to themselves as a “Yank.” Shibboleth!
Jez has posted like 3 stories since this broke. Wondering what they are waiting on? Scrubbing the site of Aziz-fawning content?
Not sure how this responds to my comment, since I’m implying legalization before any taxation. If you think sex work is legitimate income, as a matter of principle, then it should be taxed like any other income. And actually, despite what many people think, even illegal income is technically taxable. See Al Capone.
Is there a state law in this regard? I haven’t researched, but in Nevada this is not handled on a statewide basis, so there is at least some precedent for that approach. Certainly didn’t stop Newsom when it came to same sex marriage. Maybe it would keep a few Google execs from ODing on heroin on their yachts, but not…
Right, I had to laugh at this and people hand wringing about it’s enforcement. I’ve never seen any sort of enforcement of petty drug or prostitution laws in this city. I lived a block away from the Valencia police station and called about people loitering on my stoop selling intravenous drugs (sorry, I don’t want to…
Dissenting opinion, but I thought it was only okay. Yes, it’s visually stunning, because it’s del Toro, but you can get much more impressive visuals in Hellboy II, which is actually a less plodding movie. Pardon the pun, but the villain is shallow, and they never much built the romance other than the gifting of hard…
Still bitter there hasn’t been an Elvis Stojko or Brian Orser biopic? He will always be the lesser Brian.
Weird use of “restitution” too. It’s not like he smashed a car window.
You’ll hear different things on this. My view, having lived in Texas, that Texas is IN “the south,” but is not “THE South,” which tends to refer to the deep South. Same with Florida. Knowing lots of folks from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, etc. they are much more likely to say “I’m from the South,” whereas most…
In my experience it’s typically not cognitive dissonance - it’s that the overly affected feminism is a strategy to seduce/put women at ease/have them drop their guard. They are saying what women want to hear (or what they think they want to hear) and the second women are out of earshot they say some crass thing about…
Well, while the gang rape charges were ultimately dropped, read up on DSK and see it’s not NOT a tradition: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31318120 And let’s not get started on how Italy has treated Asia Argento in the wake of a “bunga bunga” Prime Minister. In a sexual assault arms race, they can match our…
He’s actually younger than the last one (though roughly the same age when on the show), he just looks a lot older.
