  1. ...the aristocrats!
  2. Disingenuous way to spin his statement. He didn't say diversity is bad, but is excusable by a good story. He said diversity doesn't matter, because people care about the story, as exemplified by Andor. That was in response to charges that people hate the show due to 'diversity'. Everybody finds the show shitty. Some believe it's due to servicing of a cultural narratives (ie "pushing diversity") over quality storytelling. Some dont like that those are gimmicks or covers for poor storytelling. Neither of those examples demonstrate bona fide contempt for "diversity" (or witches, or lesbos, or whathaveyous). The root cause is the story is shit, but its not very original to write "the story is shit". You know this. Everybody knows this. Why do we pretend we dont understand basic social psychology here and play along with this motte and bailey bullshit pretending that everyone is a bigot.
  3. the brazilians call brass knuckles 'english punch' (soco ingles). the canadians and french call it 'american fist' (poing or coup de poing americain). and i find amusing the specificity of law that it and other weapons are illegal in many jurisdiction when you could well carry a pipe wrench or other instrument for similar effect. or butterfly knives. illegal in many places. but a pocket knife of reasonable blade length is completely fine.
  4. Me think why save time using few words when many words do trick?
  5. If you're a parent of a kid you understand that when kids call eachother doodieheads it's not motivated by scatophobia nor do the kids have actual feces on their head but the insult is merely a lazy and convenient vector for communicating their dislike (for any of millions of reasons)? You understand that the broad majority of audience also hate this show, many more than the ones using unsophisticated insults? When you cherrypick the unpolitically correct opinions - whose thrust is to criticize the show for being shit - to rail against, despite the show actually being shit, you realize who's being the snowflake in this picture?
  6. I shouldve studied harder in college 📰 👓 🐱
  7. The dichotomy of internet commerce technology is pretty amusing. On one side you have hidden cookies and cross-browser trackers and advanced user profiling where blacklab knows to the decimal point what percentage of visitors clicked-through to a banner for sperm whale oil. On the other side you have podcasts where its like “to get 15% off your first order of unicorn juice enter the code ‘nancygrace15’ on the order form thats ‘n-a-n-c-y-grace-one-five’” cuz theres no other way they know where the traffic is coming from.
  8. Its simple. We just want to see cute animals. Cool villains. Laser sword fights. And, as a bonus, some tits.
  9. My wife, like most women(?), is a bit of a hypochondriac. This has not been helped by her colleague having been diagnosed with stage 3 last month (🤕). Today, she ran down the stairs after using the bathroom, her eyes welling up to critical mass. “Whats wrong,” I asked. The waterworks broke wide open. “There was blood in my stool” ”oh, that can happen someti—“ “No, you dont understand, it was A LOT”. Shes typing frantically on the phone, consulting her personal doctor: WebMD. “Lets just take a breath. Maybe its nothing” “I know sometimes it happens, but its never this RED and this MUCH before” ”…” The negotiations go on for a few minutes. Then she pauses. The faucet start to shut and theres a visible sign of relief on her face. “Oh yeah. I did eat a lot of beet at lunch today”.
  10. Its amusing that every group of people think that drinking alcohol is some unique attribute exclusive to them. At lunch a co-worker said something like “i was in [location] for work once. we did a lot of drinking that event…when [industry group] gets together, you know alcohol is going to be involved” And im thinking….lawyers can say this. And bankers can day this. And writers can say this. And real estate folks can say this. And car mechanics at the NAPA Auto Parts 2024 National Convention can day this. Is there any profession who dont claim to drink hard at an industry gathering? Its so cliched.
  11. Anyone on the fence with the combustion, dont buy at msrp. Sign up for their mailing list because theyve been running sales almost nonstop this year
  12. the bigots must've missed out on their opportunity to complain in the 1,000 post thread about ahsoka with a female lead named rosario, a co-lead with blue hair, and space witches.
  13. brown sheep of the family. i think george muthoot george took the extra dibs.
  14. The middle-aged white guys seem to enjoy Rogue One with a starring cast of a woman; a dark-haired hispanic-accented guy; a blind asian dude; and a black man with droopy eyes. The whitest middle-aged guy portrayed the villain (Orson Krennic). Maybe we don't accuse peoples' motives to gatekeep a television show, and instead accept that people can recognize a turd when it smells like shit.
  15. this family sure loves the name george
  16. even the guy the cow was chasing got pissed off
  17. jesus christ those people really fell off since the american war of independence
  18. When I'm in a screening at a public theater, I always have a picture of it taken by a 3rd party, and the theater is always lit
  19. another weird thing the fucking english do where they dont pronounce some middle syllables such as when 'leicester' becomes 'lester'
  20. Saving this line for when i turn 70
