“Weak, submissive, pathetic” like the traditional misogynistic view of women? The one that gets applied to men to suggest they are being feminine as an insult?

Yikes. That made me think of the “let Jesus fuck you” scene from The Exorcist. So thanks for that horrifying idea.

The FBI calls in its crack paranormal investigation team. The team consists of four plucky detectives and their dog. The dog is not forensically trained in any useful way, but is more of an emotional support animal for one of the team that struggles with addiction. It also talks to a limited extent.

The team investigates a haunting; revealing in a twist ending that it was the janitor in a costume all along.

This is mine too. It’s a cute, fun movie. Yes completely over-the-top stupid, but that’s part of the enjoyment. I think a reason I liked it when everyone else seemed to hate it was that I didn’t have a Nintendo as a kid, so I wasn’t saddled with an expectation of what Mario should be.

Autism as a diagnosis is relatively new, but people would have always had traits that would be thought of as nowadays as autistic. As an example, Rube Waddell was a professional baseballer in 1897 who was so fascinated by firetrucks that he would run off the field mid-game to chase them.

Mine is similar. A barrister once told me that you should be nervous before an important event like an interview or court appearance. If you aren’t, all it means is that you aren’t taking it seriously.

Do you mean no as in yeah nah, or nah yeah?

Making a movie is a team effort and everyone that say otherwise is an asshole

Sure, but why not in other industries? I assume at some point this became an issue that was resolved by having comprehensive credits, what was the problem it was seeking to solve?

I’m not complaining, I’m wondering why no other industry feels it’s necessary to do this.

But a subscription? That’s more akin to saying we’ll send someone to de-tune the car you’ve had tuned unless you pay us protection money monthly.

SovCits are not noble campaigners fighting against injustice. They are idiots deluded enough to think they’ve found the cheat code to the legal system by spouting the right string of nonsense.

20 years on my partner and I still quote The End of the World occasionally.

But the next pope may be far more conservative than Francis, who by Catholic Church standards was unusually liberal.

Responding aggressively to a post asking why it appears that American culture has become more aggressive and hateful is not helping as much as you think.

Next they’re going to tell us that a bird sharpening its beak every thousand years wouldn’t wear out a mountain made of diamond.

Stewart’s line about how can another administration be more absurd than the Bush administration dated surprisingly badly.

This sounds like a good way to turn an ally against them.

Does Trump have any leverage on Kavanaugh? He played close to the line with the rules to get him appointed for life, but choosing a person likely to be ideologically symathetic is more of a mutually beneficial arrangement than a favour.

It feels like the best way to get someone who is in a secure position of power like that offside is to tell them they have to do what you say or that they owe you. Kavanaugh can just as easily say Trump is disqualified, and never be told he owes anyone again.
