The solution to disproportionate responses by the government to persons of color is not to call for disproportionate responses by the government to white people. It’s to stop disproportionate responses against persons of color.

To be honest, I struggle with the fact that anyone’s life can be irrevocably changed due to some claims on the internet. I can empathize with the frustration that, through no control of your own, someone else can change the course of your life, and the conversation of your life, with no chance for your voice to be…

Half rumors?

My dinner parties are for the birds. HAHAHA. ha. ha heh.

Remind me to politely turn down any dinner party invitations! :p

I know how you feel. I throw up in your mouth a little sometimes too.

I was very worried when Disney bought Lucasfilm as well, but I kind of like what they are doing with it now. The only thing I’m not sure about is the “side project” movies, like the Han Solo one or the Rogue One movie coming next year. As long as they can keep these at least close to the quality of the main movies,…

This. Will not watch the Han Solo prequel and lord knows how many other spinoffs they are planning. We are in a TFA high right now, but it’s gonna wear off real quick and all these side-projects they’ve got planned... no bueno.

Yeah, that’s pretty different.

Oh totally. I’m self employed and I’ve thought about creating a little YouTube channel to teach little one minute videos about my field, and ultimately I realized I couldn’t take the inevitable comments and criticism.

I haven’t seen my cat in 20 minutes. Macduff?? Macduff? Why isn’t he coming when I call???? What if he ran outside when I took the garbage out? Macduff??!! Did he get hit by a car? Omg what if a coyote comes down from the hills and snatches him? (opens door to look. Closes door) wait but what if when I opened the door…

The narrative allows for the interpretation of it being a crime.

Granted, I haven’t played it, but my take on this is that, after all the talk this game has gotten, if it were true “Coda” has had ample opportunity to recognize their work and step forward. That having not happened, they are either a creation of fiction or, at least, consenting.

I use men’s deodorant because of cost and effectiveness. Yes you can get a woman’s deodorant for the same price but they tend to be smaller and/or not include antiperspirant (which is a necessity for me)

Haven’t we known this for a while?

I do know that was a thing. but I actually only learned that as an adult, since where I grew up is pretty forward on that sort of thing.

see where I make a distinction, is that if in a book or the like, someone calls something that was the thing at the time it was set in... it IS a “well thats what they called them…

so your problem is with the now obsolete sexual mores of the time, not the song. I don’t have an issue with that, as such. but its important to aim righteous indignation at the right target. the song isn’t about supporting it, its about bucking it.

so since that oppressive system is mostly defeated now, why not…

why should it be treated as such?
I mean its a matter of fact that its NOT about date rape. just because a whole lot of people are too dumb (yes, dumb) to accept and understand that in the context it was written, it had a different meaning than the same words would have now, does not change what it means.

he who…

Honestly.

Wrong. King Lear is Shakespeare’s “Maddest King."
