Aren’t we SUPPOSED to hate Scott Pilgrim and sympathize with Knives? Have I been doing an alternate take on this movie from square one? Is that why I love it?

This could be true (what do I know) but it’s not what the article is arguing. The article is arguing that because Trump pissed off the government, they scaled back their fight against Boko Haram. If that’s truly the situation, I also have to agree with the person you’re responding to.

Heyy that’s where I live! I recommend getting a library card as soon as your able, which as a librarian here I’m contractually obligated to recommend but actually we have an amazing digital branch and you can download tons of ebooks and audiobooks if that’s your jam. I’m also part of a really great tabletop group, we…

I think about this any time I buy almost anything. Do I know that the cheap stuff and clothes I buy is probably cheap because somewhere in the chain of its creation people are getting horribly underpaid (if paid at all) to create it? Yes, and I buy it anyway. Do I know that acquiring the metals in my iphone involve…

I can’t justify this, but the fact that he’s clearly had tons of plastic surgery is making me feel like it’s OK to mock him for his looks. It feels like if you’re a sexual predator who has had plastic surgery, the two are connected. Like it’s tied up in his vision of himself as entitled to women’s bodies.

I read this in high school as an assignment. Why the FUCK am I learning this amazing information from a freaking comments section? God dammit.

We don’t know that it was. With my comment I was thinking about how saying something was done out of racism has these implicit rules attached where if you’re wrong, in the court of public opinion you often forfeit your right to argue at all. You said it was racism and it wasn’t so now you’re wrong no matter what, even…

I wish this wasn’t a thing but it really is. When will we get to a place where calling out racism doesn’t create a stigma of vulnerability? It also doesn’t help when facts aren’t gotten quite right - the astronaut who’s replacing her definitely looks caucasian but she’s at least half Cuban. And people looking for any…

I don’t think it has a narrative arc at all, it’s just a string of vignettes.

I agree buuuut we have a special word for gang rape too: gang rape.

I am tempted to agree, but then why did they ban The New Jim Crow in those NJ prisons specifically if no one’s paying attention? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theroot.com/aclu-blasts-new-jersey-prisons-for-banning-award-winnin-1821868965/amp

The vision is also interesting because it tells both Rey and but Kylo’s stores, and because it was sparked when Rey touched Obi-Wan’s lightsaber—the very lightsaber she and Kylo snapped in two at the end of The Last Jedi.

I think if they waited for him to destroy it, him skewering Snoke later on wouldn’t make as much sense. It plants the seed that he’s seeing himself as even greater than he already had before, like “okay fine, I’ll be even MORE powerful than Darth Vader, who bowed to an emperor”.

The third movie is still about a Skywalker by blood though - Kylo.

We went to see Murder on the Orient Express (don’t judge) on like the last weekend it was out. It was us, another young couple, and two old lady friends. The old lady friends talked the entire time, no exaggeration. They were far enough away that I couldn’t make out what they were saying so it wasn’t distracting…

Also you have to dehydrate yourself half to death to make it that long without having to pee. In a place where they sell you drinks as big as your head, adding 30+ minutes to the gauntlet is really just cruel.

I read recently that if you break down white female voters in Alabama by religion, it was like 80% of evangelicals voted for him and like 70-something% of non-evangelicals voted against him. I don’t necessarily think this correlates well to examples like Lena Dunham and Kate Winslett or Hollywood in general, but it’s…

Perhaps the FO was more interested in tracking the ships to their base and destroying that rather than just wiping out the resistance while they’re on the move. It’s the same result functionally, but destroying their base is a much better for annihilating hope, which Snoke was pretty focused on. Plus a neo-resistance…

I know I’m just an internet stranger, but If you’re truly feeling that way, please seek help!! You deserve satisfaction and happiness and there are people who will get you the help you need.

My morning moisturizer has sunblock in it, and I rub it fully over my whole face, eyes included. It doesn’t irritate them. I use Aveeno something something. The pump at the top is a peach color.
