This is my exact point. Anything above like 5% is extremely troubling. I’m not worried that he’s going to be president. I’m sad that so many people - regardless of whether he wins or not - actually think he’s worthy of the job.

I am not worried that he is going to become president.

What I meant still stands. According to RECENT polls, Clinton only leads Trump in the popular vote by a few points. Trump isn’t going to win the electoral college, but even so, a depressing proportion of voters still plan to cast their ballots for him.

Yeah bumper sticker politics get fucking scary. I lived in suburban Atlanta for most of my childhood and didn’t see too many bumper stickers that contained clear violent threats, but by the time I arrived in South Carolina in 2008, I saw at least one bumper sticker a day that said something to the effect of “if you…

This really is fucking disturbing. Donald Trump gives literally not one shit about a long list of American freedoms. One might argue that he actually kind of hates America. I am very sad to see how well he’s doing in the popular vote. What the hell, world.

“resting a protective hand on my belly with a dreamy expression.”

I didn’t chime in originally and am late to the party now, but I have heard that both Vin has a provision in his contract saying he can’t be seen to lose fights in the movies. There’s some other stuff about him being kind of ridiculously egotistical and actor-y too, but I can’t remember specifics. Very convincing I…

For the ~10 minutes I was able to tolerate her Maron interview, what I got is that she doesn’t support Trump or Hillary. She’s one of those edgy “they’re all so CORRUPT, MAN” types. “THE MEDIA” twisted her words and made it seems like she’s a Trump supporter, but she says she isn’t. I think it’s one of those spoiled…

All...except for people who aren’t thin white chicks and their respective male partners.

It was fun, but sad to say, it just wasn’t GREAT. I would have been willing to see it again in theory, but I can’t imagine myself actually doing that at this point. I’d still go see a sequel, though.

EVERYTHING

Do they just not count overseas box office? Cause with that added in, it has broken even. And it hasn’t even been out a month? I do not understand Hollywood economics.

It is in general, but as I mentioned in another comment, there are still a lot of barriers for entry to leadership and other competitive roles for people who aren’t white men. I think that younger people (i.e. born in the 70s and up) in the military tend to want to change that. Servicemen tend to put the emphasis on…

Trump hands

There are definitely some shitheads in the military, but there are also a lot of intelligent, kind people in there. Intelligent, kind people who receive taxpayer-funded healthcare and support diversity but still tend to vote Republican, but I’ve had to willfully ignore that part to not embarrass myself when hanging…

Yeah basically my brother is like “if you can hang, I don’t care who you are, you’re in” - his focus seems to actually be purely on merit, which is refreshing.

Obviously. But in spite of that, both high-ranking tiers of the military and special forces tend to be very white. There are still a lot of institutional hurdles (racism, educational access etc) that block people of color from reaching the military’s upper echelons, much like in any other institution or bureaucracy in…

My bro is a special-forces-type officer and he is very enthusiastic about the prospect of serving with trans people, women, people of color etc - his sector of the military is not at all diverse and he sees that as a major weakness. That is one of the few things that makes me OK with his job. He’s always managed to be…

Rugby players are the hottest sportsmen, in my estimation. I hooked up with many of the members of my college’s men’s rugby team, and I got a PE credit for my efforts. Good times.
