Skoobie

I remember back when parents freaked out because we were wearing different colored bracelets to school and that it meant we were doing bad sex things. I yearn for that level of stupid nowadays. It was so much smarter than “No! No! The school isn’t allowed to tell Jimmy he can be Jenny. That’s, like, against what my God says… or something.”

I totally agree that streaming residuals are going to be the skeleton that any deal builds on. But until the Streamers are compelled to be transparent with their viewer data, it won’t be a good faith offer.

I’m just waiting for the sweetener Hollywood adds in this time. Maybe they’ll work in an increase on the minimum number of bathroom breaks allowed to extras and grips.

Really? Because it only showed up once in my feed. So I guess I’m glad they cross posted 8 times. Thanks, OP!

Also, this is fucked up. Abortion should be available on demand without apology.

Well that’s just a distinction between ostensible intention and realistic application of the word. Sure, you’re right, but they’d never admit it lol.

True, tho I personally think the term takes on a slightly different nuance when applied to something without sentience. We can’t hunt easter eggs in the “kill them” sense because they’ve already been prepped. There’s nothing to kill.

Honestly, the term is antiquated beyond just being gendered. We say hunt when we really mean search and capture.

And people make jokes about this but it really can matter. If someone hears there’s a manhunt for Sam Jones, they are more likely to assume it’s a man. It could be a Woman, tho, and using gender neutral terms could help prevent false assumptions.

A thousand up votes to you if I could.

Not to mention that the entire “Alpha Male” philosophy was disproven by the very same guy who hypothesized it. My dude went back to check out the same family of wolves years later to see how things had gone and guess what? The “Betas” he’d witnessed weren’t the inferior members of the pack at all. They were the kiddos. The “Alphas” he’d witnessed being recognized as superior by the “Betas” were actually just the parents raising their kids. He tried to tell the world how he’d fucked up but by then the damage was done and nobody was listening.

Wow, so my partner and I were recently discussing a Bermuda Triangle movie we’d seen years ago but couldn’t recall the name for the life of us. It was this. It was Triangle (2009). Thank you very much for this rather fortunate coincidence, OP.

When you buy a house, closets are just there. You could take the doors off, I suppose, but closets are just a thing. As for the void under the bed, that is a feature and not a bug. Yes, it may allow for a fear of what’s under the bed. It’s also an inherent defense against the actual bugs on the floor that would otherwise crawl up the child’s bed.

Basically, the answer isn’t to change the standard child’s bedroom but to instead work around it. Take the doors off the closet if it scares them. Check under the bed every night and maybe put their “bravest” stuffed animals under there for protection. But rooms are rooms. Blocking off a closet and putting the kid’s mattress on the floor is not the answer lol.

The moment I found out that that court is answerable to no one, I lost any faith in it. How many “Who watches the Watchmen?” scenarios do we have to go thru before it becomes apparent that an actual system of checks and balances is always necessary?
