My wife is from Ishigaki and it really is a beautiful place! She and kids try to go every 1-2 years, me a little less often due to work-we end up going in the summer though and it’s so hot! It is more of tourist area geared towards Japanese than foreign tourists but it has the benefit that there’s not as much built in…

LuLaRoe Founders Respond to Pyramid Scheme Allegations:

The meanings of words and phrases change all the time when you’re dealing with a living language, it all depends on how people choose to use the phrase, not necessarily what it originally or previously meant.

In all fairness, the couple wasn’t going to enjoy the Bali trip anyway.

Is this take the hottest take or the coldest one?

He’s... trying. You know, if you want the world to be a better place, you should encourage people to make an effort to do better, especially if it doesn’t come naturally to them. Mr. Affleck needs to figure out which friends’ behaviors he should be emulating, to not act like a misogynist. Mr. Smith seems like a good…

Actually, coming to a website called the AV club, I think it could be interesting or even “germane” to discuss how movie making techniques contribute to the viewing experience, including music soundtrack choices, set choices, and costuming choices. And if a story telling element distracts from the story being told...…

I have a 10 and 8 year old who will be getting a Switch for Christmas. They want the game Splatoon and I plan to get a second game for them with the console. Initially I was thinking Zelda because of the reviews and becausee I want to play it but now I am wondering if I should get Mario instead, at least initially.…

There are a lot of dumb people in sciency-fields. There are a lot of people who are smart in one area and super dumb in another area. You may have even heard of smart scientists who have poor social skills and emotional intellegence, it’s... like...a thing that’s over-portrayed in TV and movies all the time.

Am I the only one distracted by Fishburne’s facial hair in the photos? Maybe it’s supposed to highlight how overly groomed the pastor’s hair is compaired to the scruffier bartender but it seems a bit much....

Yeah I saw that, she worked on it over the course of 3 weeks. That could be a few hours a week or many hours a day. Even if it was just a few hours actually writing it doesn’t diminish how gross it was- she probably invested time thinking about it when she wasn’t writing. But if she was getting paid for her work, what…

Wow, and she spent how many hours revising her script so he could use it as bait for a sexual encounter? Gross.

Aren’t there plenty of black nerds in the US and worldwide, people that can write and like fantasy? I can understand if some indie game is with a only couple of writers has a pretty narrow cultural perspective but this is a big well known property. You can afford to hire some consultants and writers to help develop…

Imagine an alternate universe where Bjork’s first movie making experience was with a professional and supportive director and she had such a positive experience that she made a whole series of Bjork musicals...

To be fair Henry Weinstein took a lot of plane trips and a lot of those business meetings where he exposed himself or masturbated in front of women or assaulted them physically, they were done when he was jet lagged you know, tired and jet lagged so it doesn’t count, you see?

I am a medical doctor and a psychiatrist so to answer some the questions of how gender or sex could be non-binary, let me give an explanation from a medical and psychiatric point of view. A quick overview of the biology of the sexes might look something like: Chromosomes are dived evenly into sex cells,…

But if you legally recognize another person’s right to exist and live as thier non-binary gender presentation doesn’t that encrouch on my right to tell other people who and what they are? If you believe in freedom what about the freedom of cis-straight white men to control the bodies of other people? Who will think of…

Imagine an alternate universe where Björks first movie was an upbeat quirky musical with a supportive director and had such a positive experience she made a whole series of Björk musicals...sigh

Fist they came for the pediphiles and I said nothing, then they came for the rapists and I said nothing, then they came for the serial harassers and still I said nothing. When they came for me there were no more powerful abusive men to speak for me!
