Nothing hypocritical about it. The LGBTQ community loves it when someone portrays people they consider homophobic as being secretly gay. If you’re not offended the victims, you haven’t said anything offensive.

He was sentenced. 21 to 27 months with the possibility of a halfway house and/or regular parole. He has to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

In terms of prospective, 43k is the “average” wage, and the median wage is 52k or so. The amount of workers making minimum wage is around 3%, and the total amount of workers who will see a raise is 28%.

It’s not historically low. It’s historically in the middle. In terms of the last 30 years, it’s about in the middle of that as well. In terms of the last 15 years, it’s pretty decent but not spectacular.

I know. Not only do you have to put in something about how that specific person identifies, but nothing I said changed. The article talks about the lead singer, the other band member, and the band as a whole using they.

One thing I find annoying on blogs is how they use links to the old stories to replace a full encapsulation. I doubt it’s by accident..I think it’s to train people to click more than one article at a time.

That’s why they/them doesn’t work. It takes a bit to understand “they” in the story refers to an individual. We need a new word.

You can’t if you’re going for realism. They might be using a Black actor as a statement on...it could be a few things, I suppose. It might just be that they only have Black casts.

The first person narrator isn’t really the author. It’s a mess because it’s impossible to tell if she meant to do that or not.

No...they won’t. Do one. You’ll find out that the studies all show there are suicide clusters. Also, people with suicidal thoughts have them reinforced by any depiction of suicide. However, people who don’t have suicidal thoughts aren’t influenced, and nobody has determined that art in any way influences suicide.

Nah, you can say plenty of things about me, but clarity is not an issue. There’s nothing confusing about me accusing you of projecting something onto me. You can disagree, but you knew exactly what I was saying.

I can’t agree, or I’d at least say the people who accuse others of cultural appropriation are as offbase as the people arguing against it.

No, the translation is “don’t reflexively shame people who disagree.” It’s okay to say he’s wrong without pretending he said something else.

Then don’t, sugar. Instead of looking them up for you, I’ll just tell them to you and, like you did with Mo’Nique, you can just believe every word I say.

Hmmm...yeah, I can see that as smug snark. I may have been confused because it wasn’t particularly clever.

Fine. Let there be no question that you accused me a sexism and racism in your initial post, when there was absolutely none on my part. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do now, but it doesn’t matter. I’m not racist or sexist and apparently that leaves you with no argument. So feel free to assume I have some secret…

It’s not honest to blame three people who had nothing to do with your problems. Her problem is that she’s been saying delusional things for about a year now, with weird additions like Oprah and Tyler Perry supposedly needing to come to her rescue.

Ok, right after you provide proof that winning Best Supporting Actress means you’ll catapult into the upper echelon.

Yes, just like you do. And everybody else.

I disagree. Having been on numerous sets myself, anyone can get away with being rude to PA’s or 2nd directors...but it gives anyone who doesn’t want you a reason to not hire you next time.
