  1. I dont wholly fault Disney. Its a natural response to defend your product when it goes sour. They simply followed where they thought the money will be, and when it turned out the show was a flopped, they pulled the plug. It is a media thing, where they are over-represented by fanatic ideologues wielding 'bigotry' as a cudgel. Or they amplify the voices of those who are. Because it isnt just with the Disney/SW products -- remember Captain Marvel? Ghostbusters reboot? Hell, remember Charlie Strong Texas Football? The arbiters of good taste and exemplary morals says no, no, it's not that the product is bad causing your dislike, it must be your latent hatred of xxx marginalized groups....in this case millionaire producers, actors, and coaches. And if that is in fact true for 1 person out of a hundred million, that'll be the cherry they pick to poison the well for everyone else. Ignore those 'negative shitbags' and let them wallow in their self-righteousness.
  2. no hesitation on that response
  3. We ended up in Crikvenica this summer. It was insanely hot. Pros are calm waters, no waves, perfect for the kids. Cons are all rocky beaches, no sands. Might hit up the Black Sea next summer just to change it up a bit.
  4. no, fuck no, and anyone who believes it is a cunt. language is flexible and thus its interpretation malleable: it depends on speaker, audience, formality, and other context. whether its offensive is like porn: you'll know it when you see it. we have social contest at work tracking volunteered step-count to encourage fitness. tallies are compared against different work teams, buildings, but also between "guys" vs "girls". nobody is offended. its a casual way to refer to a group without needing to be all corpo-formal about it. that said, if i was referring to the fact that a colleague in specific did something, i wouldn't call that person a "girl", nor would i call her a "woman" in the same manner i wouldnt call out a "man" either. the gender serves no purpose for that use so i would simply say "a clerk is pulling that for me".
  5. the best colloquialism is australian cunts calling females sheilas
  6. Well, award shows are stupid. Top Gear won a best "non-scripted TV show" at the International Emmys and people have ever since used that to argue that the shows preposterous stunts arent contrived
  7. Dang. I cant believe Disney eschewed all the shows commercial and viewership success and caved in to bigotry pressure instead. Shame.
  8. The upside to all of this is jimmyjazz starting to learn how to find data (which he and comrades first dismissed as numerical gish gallop). Once he learns basic logic and how to interpret them, he might even…turn “fascist”. Theres hope yet.
  9. Big Oil hates this one Little Trick !!!!
  10. goddamn doggah - my little princess - tore her ACL and shes at the age where surgery isnt really recommended. a month ago, when she showed distress, the stupid smalltown bumfuck vet where we were at did a shit examination and concluded it was merely a sprain. she hides her pain well, and didnt show any affects after that. i feel really guilty for dragging her around the lake last weekend. today with our normal home vet they said it was a clear tear 😪
  11. Ratatouille sequel is rated-R
  12. If you’re in the market to buy or rent, does it make a difference if the owner/landlord is a corp or an individual? And how do these corp just “mark up homes in bulk” if the price don’t take. Are these levered companies going to let the houses sit unoccupied while bleeding cashflow? The houses go back on the sales market, or increases the rent supply relative to sales supply The pool of property and the pool of occupants hasnt changed. Whats going to most affect housing affordability is….building more housing.
  13. That's exactly how both of them fight in all of their prior fights. Adesanya looks great at point fighting because he is great at point fighting. His last slobberknocker was Gastelum and that was over 5 years ago. The few times he gets hit he hides it well. Pereira and father time added a lot of wear to that chin, so now when he gets tagged by 'weird' pressure fighters like Strickland or DDP he runs away... a lot more compromised than he looks. 12 championship fights is a lot of PPV $$$ and his ego is way too large to throw away a fight.
  14. thnx gideon!
  15. Probably written by some fatbergs in sales
  16. I found a new favorite slur to insult people with: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatberg A fatberg is a rock-like mass of waste matter in a sewer system formed by the combination of flushed non-biodegradable solids (such as wet wipes) with fat, oil, and grease (FOG) deposits If do run it through a search engine most of the stories are from the UK. Lulz.
  17. Belt stays in Africa.
  18. If your mom eats meat all the time surely you can too
  19. Obviously, there’s no details because: (1) its fucking nonsense (2) its only purpose was to rally their trained seals into clapping (atleast 1 did) (3) they proposing party has no website or interviews with which to explain the details we’ll just have to leave it to the fascist wapo and cnn to discredit
  20. Wait a minute so we can travel back in time but we **dont** get a chance to kill baby Derka ???
