Every time I whitelist a site I'd like to support, the autoplay videos and other obnoxiousness immediately reminds me why I didn't have them whitelisted.

Not publicly. He had a call with Pres Park and repeated the foreign minister's public apology. The comfort women are used to being dicked around about it. The $8.3mil isn't even going to them (70 years later), it's going to some kind of "project," and Japan is still complaining about the statue outside of their…

Wasn't it a PM prior to Abe that apologized? Abe seems pretty set on, as you said, throwing gas on the fire.

From what I remember, it was mostly only one or two later episodes that really dealt with the girls being shipped off. The most awful part of that is that (iirc) some of the small group he fights for still get carted off and you're aware as a viewer that this is going on all over the place, so he saves maybe a dozen…

Fox is a less bankable version of DC with even worse characterization*. That's horrifying.

They were not kind to Korea, either. There's a (very good) korean drama called Gaksital (or Bridal Mask) that goes into aspects of it.

Minnasoda all the way!

So you're saying that Fox is basically DC.

I always snicker at the Wanda/Clint exchange in Ultron:
Wanda: "What are you doing here?"
Clint: "Disappointing my kids. We were supposed to go water-skiing."

I think the point is based on familiarity. When "other" is normalized (someone you know and like comes out to you as gay/atheist/a PoC/trans), it becomes less scary or threatening and you may develop a personal investment in the rights of that person.

Like the Family Guy exchange with 'cool whip' and 'awhile?' Emphasis on the H?

Apparently upstate NY sounds a lot like central Wisconsin. I read somewhere that it's basically because the same kinds of immigrants settled in both areas.

I've heard "Wesconsin" a lot. Some people really hit the hard C in it.

SURE DID!
*nervous laugh*

Yeah, the underground bits take up a good chunk of the book and it's pretty heavy content. The description of the Pit alone is childhood nightmare fodder.

The wiki for Tailchaser's Song says an animated movie is scheduled for 2018.

Every time someone refers to poor people that way, I remember the Charles Dickens episode of the Dead Authors Podcast and all his references to poormen (one word) and "the poories."

Nothing at all. Seriously. Nothing gets through that level of dumb.

I don't discuss politics with a lot of people, so this is heavily anecdotal, but of the 5 people at work where this came up, 3-4 of them bought into the idea that 'they're both equally bad!'
One of them was planning to vote for Stein (her state ultimately went blue). At least 2 of the others didn't bother to vote.

Man, that doesn't even go into the nitty gritty about Park's relationship with Choi and her family, either.
