    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It sounds like you've got other issues going on too, but IMO it'd be a good idea to let go of the political/philosophical stuff. All women are kind of retarded about political/philosophical stuff. They can't help it, they've got malfunctioning emotion chips. I have immense respect for my wife...

    Legion

    dammit, thats the kind of post that always does this to me. Next thing you know I'll try Legion again and before you know it, I'll be WTFing my way through a scene with unknown characters that havent been introduced, doing some kind of bizarre dance, and it'll turn out nothing in the scene...

    Yeah, that was my only gripe with it. And I get that probably the explanation is she wasnt out of the closet at that point, but it still deserves some dialogue. "WTF, 3 scenes ago you were telling me how you had a crush on me all year" Other than that, didnt bug me at all. She never even...

    Legion

    I have tried probably 8 or 10 times to watch this show. I make it an episode, or part of an episode, before I'm like WTF is this shit ? Then a few weeks go by, I read this discussion, and I think " that show sounds awesome, I should give it another try"

    Listening to British people try to convince everyone else that there is some real distinction between different British accents always reminds me of listening to Asians try to convince everyone else theres some real distinction between different Asian ethnicities.

    Dune (2020)

    I initially wrote that but they'd already called option 3 the golden path so I edited it back out. I'm ashamed to confess I read most of the stuff by Brian Herbert too. I regret it. I kept hoping he'd d something cool with that amazing material. After three trilogies I realized he was never...

    Dune (2020)

    God Emperor of Dune is in the running for the greatest sci fi book of all time, and Option 4 is the correct path.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    All this fixation on when someone said he didnt like his wife? I don't really like my boss, my parents, my kids, or my dog all the time, either. Don't see whats so odd about a person in a long marriage sometimes not liking their spouse. And its absurd to suggest the kids would be better off in...

    I also thought he was being Australian but I pretty much cant tell the difference between British, South African, and Australian. They all just sound like someone trying to say things in the fanciest, most old fashioned way possible. Kiwis sound different because of their odd vowel swapping...

    The Boys

    While I'm tempted to believe the worst, there doesnt seem to be much evidence against Mrs Butcher at this point. She may have been raped; the security cam footage certainly supports that. Afterwards, its clear she was made some kind of offer but the details remain unknown. If she was raped and...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Seems like a lot of people are getting hung up on the "same sex" aspect of "that's gay". And from a semantic perspective, I can't disagree at all. But what about the "theres nothing appealing about a dick in your ass" aspect? I think this part may be getting overlooked, is all I'm saying.

    If you're washing the inside of your anus during a shower, then we are just having very different shower experiences. And I am OK with that.

    I enjoy that you put 'dirty' in quotes as if the anus wasnt actually a dirty place filled with chunks of poop and disease-causing pathogens. Just a mental block

    I dont disagree with you, but I'm struggling to remember a time when the board wasnt 100% devoted to assplay.

    Dune (2020)

    LMFAO Liet-Kynes is a black woman now? And also the mother of black-Chani? Gee, I wonder if theyre gonna pay careful attention to the source material in making this film. What could go wrong?

    The Boys

    This is a great answer and I hadnt thought enough about the fact that the center of gravity and the point of structural integrity need to coincide for a Homelander catch, but not for a landing.
  17. Aldarion

    The Boys

    You make a fair point that my landing gear example oversimplifies it. What I was going for is this. There are a few (3?) landing gears on large jets. The initial landing often involves only the front gears, which is what I had in mind. For that moment, the weight of the plane is resting on the...

    The Boys

    As a separate point. I see several people describing sympathy for Homelander. While I totally agree that they did a great job of making it so no one is black or white, and even the psycho villains are complex 3 dimensional characters, I dont actually feel any sympathy for Homelander. I get it...

    The Boys

    Funny, I disliked that scene exactly because of that argument. Only bad part of an otherwise awesome episode. Because Homelander was an idiot and was wrong. When a plane lands its entire weight is resting on the landing gear. Hitting the runway at several hundred miles an hour, weighing fuck...

    The tradeoffs brought up by the anti-deep-fryers are true, but there is just no substitute for actual deep frying. Its worth the pain.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No, I totally get that. I agree. Some people are currently in a condition where they would make shitty parents, and they shouldnt have kids while in that condition. Regardless of their duty to their ancestors. Raising maladjusted kids would help no one. But. If an adult has gotten into such a...

    haha absolutely right on both counts. As a child of the 80s I still find the proliferation of tip jars ridiculous. They were nowhere in the 80s.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    yeah, people in this thread don't like concepts like "duty" or "moral obligation". It might cut into travel, disposable income, and random Tinder hookups. Putting aside the racial undertones, Uber's post describes exactly what I think when I meet an "adult" who tries to explain to me how...

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    I note that several pages into the thread, you're still the only one whos said anything sexual about Ariel. When we objected to the ridiculous changing of Kid Flash and the Gunslinger into black dudes, did you also interpret that as evidence of boners over the characters?

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    I have been reading about anti redhead prejudice throughout history. Interesting to note that in the middle ages Jews were often portrayed with red hair, as a common device for indicating "this is a jew". Not sure what this says about the "jews control hollywood" meme. Not sure if it has...

    Oh how cute, looks like the NPC defense routines got activated. The "people are so uptight" defense, coming from the same people who brought you "white people selling burritos is cultural appropriation".

    Thanks, I knew someone would come through. I saw the longer list somewhere once but couldnt find it today. Thisll do. I forgot about Annie, lol. Of all the characters *defined* by their red hair, little orphan Annie.

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    Forget swimming; show me one black woman anywhere that allows her hair to get wet. I am starting to think maybe its not even a black thing. Maybe Hollywood just hates pretty redheads. Anytime the role calls for a pretty redhead - immediately cast ghetto trash instead. Its never even a...

    Thats hysterical when you consider that the English translation of the sound of a honking horn is "FUCK YOU". So this guy was driving around going Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck out of sheer joy. Thats funny shit.

    My new work laptop has a power button *as part of the keyboard*, where the End key is supposed to be. So every time I try to go to the end of a page while browsing the internet, it turns off. And the end key isnt even available, except as alt-numpad1 (fuck multi key hotkeys for common web...

    This was great. Really no complaints, they nailed the tone. They added diversity the right way. Instead of making Billy or Mary black, added some additional foster kids. Very fun and I look forward to rewatching with my kids.

    Yeah, holy shit. I gave up after about 1 episode when it first aired. I just went back and binged seasons 1-2. In hindsight I don't even hate season 1 anymore. This is actual good sci fi with memorable and reasonably well written characters. Some truly bizarre and WTF moments but in a very...

    I agree, and will just point out that this is not limited to the bacon study. Its how these statistics always work: the effect size is the risk in the subject group relative to the risk in the control group. The problem is journalists are the dumbest people on the planet, and report it as 'omg...

    WTF. Its like theyre trying to emulate the new Twilight Zone instead of the classic Twilight Zone. We went from uploading human consciousnesses into a digital afterlife, or into objects ... to gay cyber in a video game and Facebook as a surveillance and crime fighting tool. WTF

    So help me, no matter what I do to try and stop him, my little brother does that shit (foil on a grill). I am 99% sure he does it to avoid dealing with some germ phobia of his wife. It is amazing how that technique ruins every cut of meat I've ever seen it used on. I just volunteer/insist on...
