I’m guessing they felt the word could only be used in the context that the audience feels the character who used it is wrong for saying it. So a white character says it, the show is telling us “he is wrong for using that terrible word,” while a black character says it to a friend, you’re condoning its usage.

I agree. I don’t feel like he sexually assaulted her and don’t feel like this should be included in the same realm as “me too.” I think he was very wrong and acted like an asshole, but she was always free to go. He didn’t force anything on her. This reminds me of the type of stuff they tell you in high school (“If a…

Please have him email me and tell me what the alloys are before I perish.

Not if it’s a system using a fixed point of entry and exit. If it creates a portal (Rick and Morty) or the machine itself travels (DeLorean), then yes, but if it’s something like a stargate, it can only go to times when the device is functional

To top it off, the prize? 100,000 yen, or about $890.

sweet jesus, yesssss

Still the best:

I’ve watched a lot of game-shows in my life. Grew up watching Legends of the Hidden Temple and Figure It Out (sup Summer Sanders), worked up to the Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and of course Price is Right. If there’s one thing that has been consistent with my tastes in shows it’s the pure, ravenous need to see the…

Without excusing any of the behavior, I’m curious as to what more you wanted out of the Franken apology. As I read it it:

I genuinely don’t understand both the “forcibly kissed” and “groped” parts of the Franken story. The photo is goddamn stupid, but doesn’t show contact so isn’t groping - fucking insulting and demeaning, yes, but not sexual assault.

Trump Sr. ALSO achieved a PR after his “form went to hell,” with his “back too rounded” and “legs up [too] fast.”

No, no, no. It’s ok for Harbaugh to recruit teens.

Interesting article, it does make me wonder though: is Dragon Ball (and DBZ) more ubiquitous in the Black community than it is with White folk or other minority groups? I grew up in a very diverse community and while, yes, all of my Black friends are fans of the show, so are my White and Latino friends. I think that…

Looks like daddy needs to buy a pair of pants.

It’s really not that early in the season at this point.

People tend not to do well with nuances. Thus, you have someone grabbing a boob or butt cheek over clothing being considered the same kind of sexual assault as being forced to give someone a blow job or someone jamming their fingers into your underpants and crotch . That term is waaaay too broad and inclusive.

I’m with you on this issue, because, yes, some people like having sex, and like being drunk, and like having drunk sex, and my feeling is if neither person feels the need to indicate to the other person to stop what they’re doing, or that they don’t want to do it, and neither person feels they are being abused, are we…

My mind keeps trying to say, “well, that was a very different time regarding known boundaries on what was a date with drinking and going back to someone’s place,” and I think it’s because I don’t want this to be true of Takei and wondering if it’s fair to judge this particular case with today’s mindset. Still have…

This is all getting a bit crazy, isn’t it?
