  • God I tried SO HARD to like that book. Liked the show growing up because Legend of The Seeker is campy and weirdly ABC channel sexy (blond leather ladies touching you with Pain Dildos, essentially) but it was just trash.

    The main character, by all means, should be the least knowledgeable and probably the least ‘wise’ character, but in comes Richard educating the Men of Mud on proper government structures and how their primitive tribal society was stupid and the way they made decisions was dumb.

    And you’re right, don’t get me started on the confessors and how anyone with eyes wants to get bent over the table by the protagonist within minutes of meeting him.

    …still like the shitty CW show though.









  • You’re encouraged to shovel toxic garbage into the masses here. They said ‘Bread and Circus’ so we’re getting sucrose-brioche and 24 hours of terrible news to watch.

    That’s crazy to know the Netherlands fast food isn’t exactly cheap. It’s becoming not cheap here, as well, the prices rising faster than the cost of living and only a little behind grocery prices.


  • You’re making tons of assumptions and then holding those assumptions as the same as fact. I’ve known a few friends and family that have gone to the military, and I say this with love to those people, they were all dumb. They all now regret having served, or at least regret having served in order to attain the benefits they now gain for having sold themselves to the US, and only one of them (of say maybe 8) has learned anything about the history of the US or the symbols often used throughout.

    What ‘tells you’ he knew? Where is the ‘clearly into Nazi history’ coming from? What part of the US schooling covered the various nazi symbols? Because none of those were something I’d have recognized as anything other than ‘military, Fuck Yeah!’ tattoos as a 20 year old.


  • Are those from ‘fast food’ locations, where the food is meant to be cheap, mostly edible, and filled with fillers/garbage? If not, stop looking for gourmet from what is essentially McDonalds (in the picture it’s Wendy’s and Little Ceasars, a fast food pizza place that is boasted as the cheapest pizzas)





  • Consent in an imbalanced power dynamic is not always recognized as consent.

    Sure, the girls that Louis CK jerked off in front of didn’t scream and run out of the room, but they WERE placed in an inappropriate situation with someone who held the keys to their career. And what did we as a society do? We lambasted him for being weird and not understanding that dynamic, and his career has yet to really recover. He didn’t rape anybody, no, but he sure did abuse his power over those people. Are these similar situations, in your opinion?


  • I love that you think it’s a generational thing.

    And you call people who call out DRASTIC POWER DYNAMICS as prudes. Dude. Do you remember being 20-22? You know she JUST got the right to drink, right? Even if there was a personal interest in Bill Clinton sexually, the dynamic makes any sexual contact inappropriate while he’s her boss. Don’t tell me you think all those stories of 20-something secretaries sleeping with their boss were all consensual love affairs?
