When we as a society give so much more control over opinions to celebrities and “influencers”, this is the obvious outcome. Here you have politicians asking a pop star to delay a concert to effect change that they have complete control over.

After I told a friend I liked the movie and suggested he go see it, he questioned me harshly if they even addressed the morality of building the bomb. My answer was, “That was like the entire point of the movie.”

Seconded, when I played coed in the early 90's, ~80% of the women on our roster (as well as on the women’s team in our league) were in knee braces at any given time from some variety of damage, and this was purely recreational level soccer.

“Blaming ACL tears solely on our biological makeup, however, is inherently problematic.”

ACL and exercise science is not my area of expertise - is this a physical training regimen thing? I.E. is there something for conditioning that can be done to better protect?

We’re looking up to the wrong people.

“ ...it’s a lack of you engaging with the marketing.”

“In Solo: A Star Wars Story, we see in a hologram message that Darth Maul somehow survived being cut in half in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. OK, great, so ... how? What did he do after that? We just have to rely on fan-fiction stories unless Darth Maul gets his own movie or Disney+ series.”

Personally, I prefer The Commitments version of Mustang Sally.

I actually like it when a male artist doesn’t change the genders in a song he’s covering that was originally sung by a women. It displays a certain comfort with oneself. 

Got to wonder about these guys.

It’s like chickens campaigning for Col. Sanders. Makes no goddamn sense. 

I did not get justice, but I did send him an email once telling him he would never be forgiven (he claimed to be a devout Christian) and he would go to his grave without forgiveness. That made me feel better at least. Thank you.

Car dealers can eat all the shit.

No, you’re attributing a special slant to the term, although that can be included. Looksism is merely a prejudice in favor of those who conform to a traditional and narrow definition of beauty. Although maybe it can include those who prefer a specific nonconforming set of qualifications?

I will politely disagree with you there. The books in the Hum 110 syllabus were written almost exclusively by queer, brown-skinned Mediterranean men. I mean, ancient Greece and Rome weren’t known for just their architecture and sculptures, wink wink.

Man, I always thought the main reason I shouldn’t get into politics is too much weed and no college degree...the pro-life lunatics however have taught me that I wouldn’t be able to do my job without screaming obscenities at these fuckin clowns in hearings like this. “Ma’am did you just try to tell me with a straight…
