Whatever their abuser tells them is real, is real to them. They are so deep in their bullshit that they would have a complete ego death meltdown if they actually realized what’s going on.

This is ridiculous and useless. Go swab anything that is touched or used by humans with regularity and you will get a horrifying collection of stuff growing out of it.

This is a fascinating take. I’ve always interpreted the events in the first 6 films as showing that the Jedi fell because of their rigidity and refusal to acknowledge there are benefits to having emotional attachments.

There are not “two clowns” running. One is a well-intentioned old guy. The other is a narcissistic, evil, fascist, traitorous, old-guy. Know the difference. 

The thing with the Jedi is that they’re always bad at what they do. Turns out that kidnapping children and trying to raise them with no emotions makes for adults that make bad decisions based on the emotions they spend so much time repressing.

On the set of a movie, it is the armorer’s responsibility to ensure the weapons are safe to use for filming, and that no live ammo is loaded. The actors explicitly trust the armorer with their safety. He “could have” but isn’t expected to. The responsibility to ensure that no live ammo is used falls to the armorer.…

He had no reason to believe the gun wouldn’t fire. It wasn’t supposed to be loaded with live ammunition, period. The responsibility for ensuring there was no live ammo on set and in the device designed as a lethal weapon that was in perfect mechanical condition fell to the AD and the armorer, not Baldwin. SAG-AFTRA…

Not a fan of Baldwin (the man, that is; plenty of good performances) but...good. The suggestion that he was responsible for not doing someone else’s job was ludicrous from the beginning.

Or better yet, the A/C is fine but some bum shit/pissed/barfed all over the car. never, ever, enter the empty car. It’s empty for a damned good reason.

I’m all for cutting the NYPD ridiculous budget, but air conditioning an open-air system is just a waste of money. Run your AC with every window & door in your house/apartment open and see how well the AC does and how high your power bill is.

Idiots: Madame Web is a bad movie.

Not really - the phrasing “we actually play live” implies a contrast, and “What? Just saying” is generally how people acknowledge a casual insult, rather than self deprecation. I’m a little surprised that someone would miss what he’s implying, since he isn’t exactly subtle.

Like she said, nobody forced him to buy it. I brew my coffee at home for pennies a cup. He can too.

He essentially threatened to kill her. I’m cool with what she did. Was it a risk? Of course it was, but she must have been seething with rage after all she had been through from this guy in the past.

Fashion is frequently dumb and capricious. She thought she could play the game.

Ghost who died in 1948 arguing with a ghost who died in 2020 about whether Ted Williams was better than David Ortiz.

Tracy Flick is not the villain of Election, she is only the villain to Matthew Broderick’s character, who is very clearly the one who is in the wrong and is thoroughly punished for his misdeeds. This is not some secret, subtextual reading - it is the explicit plot of the film. Flick wins, Broderick loses, justice is…

When exactly did the government mandate the killing of small hatchbacks and sedans?

No, the manufacturers are run by shortsighted people who chase quarterly profits. The government didn’t have much at all to do with it.

The government didn’t mandate that Ford kill off all of its affordable offerings. Ford was simply following the cynical “build less, charge more” pricing model that a number of car manufacturers thought they could get away with in the wake of pandemic supply chain issues.
