I have not. I’m not trying to be combative. I don’t want to minimialize any person’s struggle. The point is that it’s *not* about trans-gendered people, it’s this nu-liberal wave of shooting first before asking questions. It conflates actual conversation, and there’s nothing wrong with calling them out on it. 

John Cleese is a very old comedian who still has the relative-to-age progressive opinion that trans people should be happy and treated with kindness, and also that self-proclaimed ‘woke’ people are often humourless and lacking perspective. I’m not defending his bad jokes that started it, but that’s a completely accurat…

Trans people are 100% entitled to the same dignity and respect as everyone else - of course. And also, that Barsanti article, like so many others, makes me want to puke in my mouth. I would never want to be forced into a conversation with someone like that. Every progressive cause has its share of reactionary…

My worst roommates have a lot of the time been coworkers as well, which is just brutal. In one case from hell, this particular gem of a guy was drunk/coked out and banging on my door to borrow a lighter. This is a legitimate reason for an adult to pretend like they’re sleeping, which I did, until I noticed what sounded…

The funny thing is, “5" is a nice, round number. “4" just looks like extra padding and you ran out of ideas. “5" - even though the logic should dictate otherwise - doesn’t seem that way, to me, at least. They missed out on an aesthetic, is what this guy is saying. 

Just watched that one last night. The laugh tracks, Jesus Christ..

My friend’s father has Parkinson’s, and I remember us being in college when that came out. It was his introduction to Rush. “I don’t know who Rush Limbaugh is, but I fucking hate him.”

Funny how even now, I see lines I’ve missed. “Oh boy, that monkey is going to pay” perfectly expresses the resentment of someone who worked so hard on something.

My dad, when we were visiting the US from Canada, once spent almost an entire night driving us around Ohio looking for a White Castle, to the point of a personal mission. This was years before the movie came out, and I find it funny that he’s a minister who would have no interest in seeing it.

Even at 13, I was like .. “Is that .. Greg Proops?”

Can you imagine if Disney just .. redid and rewrote the prequels? Imagine this: The Disney/Marvel team is already high on sequels and remakes. Star Wars is a undisputed cash cow. They already have a great story, and now have the resources for great execution of that. I get that that would likely never happen - for a…

Funny how times change and the thought of ‘that might have been awesome’ goes to ‘that might have been real-life horrifying’. 

I think one thing a lot of people forget is - the whole movie could have been an infomercial for laundry detergent (more so), and that moment where you’re in the movie theater and “STAR WARS” flashes onto the screen to John Williams for the first time - either in your life, or in a very long time - is still untouchable…

The punishing irony of that being how annoyed Trebek would get with contestants who got simple questions about Canada wrong. 

Thief wasn’t exactly a scary game, but it had such a variety of strangeness to it that every level seemed to have some degree of unease. There’s a haunted cathedral you have to sneak through at one point, and it probably remains the scariest (or at least most scary well-done) level of any video game I’ve played. Thief…

Thank you! I was going to post the same.

I remember those games being more difficult than they looked. In the third one, you’re locked in a cage with a piece of clay and a needle, and the solution is basically ‘mold clay into voodoo doll’ ‘stab voodoo doll with sewing needle’. Sure, it’s the Witch Doctor’s house, but Jesus.

This is from a week ago, but if your question wasn’t answered, it’s because the guests knew they were being filmed but thought it was for something else. They were all screened with a ‘pop culture quiz’ that asked them if they recognized names like Will Ferrell, Borat, etc. The ones who hadn’t heard of Borat were the…

the fact that he felt the need to bash teenage girls tells you everything

Yikes. Was that a dig at her? I can see them doing that joke at Shelley Long’s character, but I didn’t know Kirstie Alley had any bad relationships. Granted, I was born in the 80s, and mostly watched the last episode my parents had taped on VHS.
