@arkandel That is something that bothers me. There are so many phenomenal actresses out there.
There are so many great stories they could tell with them...
But what do they do? Ghostbusters... but with WOMEN!
Ocean's Eleven... but with WOMEN!
The irony that I get shouted at by some women I know for disparaging these sort of films disappoints me, like when I see poor people vote Republican.
Paradox Interactive bought Harebrained Schemes, the company that made the new Battletech game (Along with a few great Shadowrun games).
That, and the close relationship Paradox has with Obsidian could bring us some pretty damn great WoD video games.
@jaded I look forward to naked, screeching children destroying my ear drums.
Roseanne canceled for the star calling a black woman an ape?
Somehow this does not surprise me in the slightest.
...well, okay. A little. I didn't expect the network to cancel the show. The comments were totally expected though.
Ah well.
Also @Aria, Aggretsuko is a good show. For some reason, the fennec reminded me of Ganymede...
If it wasn't 1 am or so I would go do proper research.
Instead I'll just leave my unqualified statement as is and curse the house of James.
Right, the new Lebron is super mature. Great guy. Totally got to the playoffs without help...
except for all the guys who took paycuts for the title run to play on the Cavs, just like they did with the Heat. Every ring on Lebron's fingers came from superstars taking paycuts to stack teams.
@thenomain Denying women of things they are more natural at?
You mean like Vaginal Legislation(tm)?
@auspice I drive downtown four days a week. It's really no big deal to me.
@auspice I don't mind offering a ride every once in a while, if you want to save a little money. Any excuse to drive.
@ganymede A hundred white men get convicted of a specific crime and its #NotAllMen.
One black man gets accused too and its #YesAllN*****rs.
I know my life experience is different from most, as I grew up in a xenophobic hellscape called 'Small Town Texas', but this is exactly how things are where I am from.
@ganymede Yes. This is absolutely the truth.
But the truth isn't always just one thing. The truth can be multiple things.
That being said, anyone who objectifies and harasses someone sexually deserves to be called on it. In my (low paying) line of work the guys oggle the crap out of women all day long. Sometimes when I'm working with someone they make comments like 'Oh boy I love yoga day' or 'The view is great in here today.'
Being the SJW I am, I tell them that's unprofessional and ask 'What if someone overhears you? You could be fired. Instantly.'
In truth, I want to say 'That's unprofessional and makes me uncomfortable to hear it.' but I don't want to make enemies of my co-workers.
If Morgan Freeman is guilty, he should be called out on it. However, given the microscope black leaders have been under throughout the history of the US and the glee the white supremacists (alt right) show when one is caught red-handed if I was sexually harassed by Morgan Freeman I probably wouldn't report it.
I don't know if that makes me a bad person or not. LIke I said. The truth can be multiple things.
I had a really, really interesting talk with a black coworker about the allegations against Bill Cosby. He claimed there was a lot of skepticism in the black community about the timing of the charges against him. I tried whitesplaining to him that it wasn't because Bill Cosby was black.
...and now Morgan Freeman. Maybe there is a damn conspiracy to topple pillars of the black community.
The Karate Kid (sequel? Reboot? Remake? Fuck if I remember) didn't even have karate in it.
Kid was literally learning Kung Fu. And then beating up kids who trained their whole lives through the magic of 'My Dad is famous and so I get movie roles.'
So does it require Resources 5 to live in like real life?
I'd totally change places with Chris Rock if he was a little younger.
If it makes you feel better, the characters of Teen Titans Go! think the original is better too.
I haven't watched cartoons since I moved, due to lack of Cartoon Network, but I used to enjoy the show a few years ago.
For your first phone... just get one that comes with your phone plan. Ease in.
I spent zero dollars on my current phone and it works great for me. Your next phone? Do research and upgrade to it.
