Bilbo is at least his actual name in the movie. Kaluuya’s character was W’Kabi. Or Chris in Get Out.

So she’s talking about showing “every dimple and roll” but does she really in any yoga pants/leggings? Because one of the reasons people like then so much is that they’re super flattering! Especially if you get the good quality ones, they’ve got compression in the waistband and thighs and they just suck everything in

I think it’s a little optimistic to say that never again will a President’s dick be a political issue. The GOP have proven themselves to be more hypocritical than we ever imagined, and pretty good at pretending to forget the past very quickly. I have no doubt that they’d start a smear campaign against another

I feel like this is not even in question, and Melania can’t even pretend to be surprised. The Donald cheated on Ivana Trump and begun his relationship with his second wife, Marla Maples, while he was still married to Ivana. In fact, I’m pretty sure that the way Ivana found out about the affair was that Marla Maples

I read a couple sentences and basically they give extreme praise to the actual movie, but they’re arguing that Killmonger’s embrance of “ethno-nationalism” makes him Black Lives Matter while T’Challa’s support of “healthy nationalism” makes him Trump. Which honestly is fine with me, since it’s just more proof that

You say that you are not angry or offended, but your second paragraph doesn’t seem to comport with that statement.

I’m torn on this one. I hate stereotypes of our organizations and the idea that the men and women in the NPHC orgs are a certain “way” to belong.

This school also had an armed guard. Apparently, he never encountered the shooter at all. It’s still unclear why or where he was when it all happened.

The NRA is going to protest this until the last. It doesn’t matter if the suggestion makes sense or will save lives; they believe that any restriction on guns is a slippery slope down to more restrictions and outright bans, and they protest ANYTHING that makes even a lick of sense.

Um, and those two pearl-clutching Northeasterners wanted to go into public policy? What kind of policy, like yachting laws and HOA regulations? Jesus Christ.

It’s definitely slavery. Sofia’s costs would be more than her wages, she’d likely go in debt to her employer, she’d have no real way to get back home to Paraguay, so her options are to go homeless on the street hunted by ICE or to continue working for Mary Turner, who apparently has complete control over her living

OK, so I wasn’t the only person thinking this. If you live in a small town and worked at a chicken processing plant, even the employed people don’t have enough money to pay a dog walker.

There are other ways to do slavery besides an auction block. You are, actually, directly purchasing someone - you go online, sponsor their visa and in return you get to pay them far less than you could pay someone in the United States to do the same job. They can’t leave, report you for violating labor laws, and

Why not both?

There’s no reason the university has to charge them tuition, if they don’t want to. Tuition benefits are part of most university employees’ benefits package.

Cupcakes are totally classy - wedding cupcake towers are all the rage. Look at Pinterest and find some cupcake tower pictures. There are a bajillion of them.

You don’t actually understand what extortion is, do you?

Etiquette is simply a societally-agreed upon code of behavior devised by the people who live in said society. Socially-agreed upon norms usually change a lot faster than the etiquette “experts” opinions, whose livelihood depends on clutching tight to rigid rules and outmoded mazes of social obligation (so that they

I think this is a silly remnant of a bygone time that never really existed.

I rented a car from Enterprise in 2008 at age 22. People under the age of 25 have been able to rent cars for quite some time - it just depends on the company and the local management/franchise.
