  1. Penny Benjamin?

    Jennifer Connelly’s character (Mav’s love interest) is Penny Benjamin per IMDB. So I guess he never lost that loving feeling for her.

  2. I really liked the show and fucking hated the finish. Are we supposed to be happy the only redeemable character gets offed and a bunch of asshole degenerates live? At least kill Wendy the cunt off. I could have lived with anything if they did that.

  3. That didn’t happen. As a general rule, the more it sounds like Taken, the less likely it is that it is true.

    A stranger getting kidnapped and secreted in a homeless tent for two weeks without a chance to escape is not a real thing that happens.

  4. I think Gypsie is fine. Maybe Romani is better. But to use the slur gyp as a verb meaning to cheat or be dishonest is a no-go.

    Gypsy is broader than Romani since it could also be used to refer to Irish Travelers, who live and behave similar to Romani. There are people on Twitter that will get offended by using “gypsy” or “gyp.” But frankly I don’t give a shit because that is universally what they do. Defraud people. I’m sure there is a gypsy out there that is honest and isn’t engaged in some sort of fraud, but I haven’t met him.
  5. I love the logical fallacy of "just because Ukrainians are being invaded and Russia is trying to wipe them off the earth doesn't mean that people are allowed to have negative sentiment towards Russia right now." Like those 2 things have nothing to do with each other. It's insanity. And if you think that then yeah maybe this thread isn't the thread for you. 

    I don’t think that, but I think your moderation has gotten more aggressive and angry lately, and I don’t think that is a good thing.

  6. i find it hard to believe that the russians are pulling back to regroup for another offensive. where are they going to get ammo ? fuel ? food ?

    You are most likely right. Vlad will try to regain the initiative then claim victory at some point. When you have a stranglehold on his media that is all he needs to save face I think.
  7. Does 20 generals directly involved in the Ukraine invasion seem like a lot?  I realize there are different ranks of general, but how many do you really need?  How many did the allies have on the western front in WWII?  I know Patton, Montgomery, Bradley, but were there dozens of other lesser generals involved?  Or is “general” a broader rank in the Russian military?

    Not really. There are several ranks of general/admiral. There are like 800-1000 generals and admirals in the USA military currently. I’m sure there are hundreds in the Russian military too.
