Oh my God I legitimately until your comment was like why the hell would they censor fascist? And why would she call gay people fascist anyway??

I literally forgot the word existed.

Right, but it doesn't sound like Vince Vaughn is arguing for a new type of comedy.. it sounds like he's trying to just bring back the old type, which while funny in their day, aren't really funny now.

Anchorman without the nostalgia goggles.. not very funny actually. When you make a movie that's full of sexism to "make fun of sexism" you've still just made a movie that's full of sexism.

I will say I watched Austin Powers recently, and it held up pretty well. Anchorman has a lot of funny bits, but a lot of it is still just saying isn't it funny that this guy is mentally handicapped and none of us are acknowledging it? Isn't it funny for this guy to say tits McGee instead of her name? Isn't it funny that even the only non sexist guy also doesn't want her career to succeed? Isn't it funny how they all sabotage her in ways that are not actually that far from how women were actually sabotaged in the workplace pretty recently?

It's not just people pretending not to like it for fear of being labeled problematic. Some of us actually don't think that kind of humor is clever enough to actually be funny

I also think it's about avoiding telling his parents about the suicide attempt

Seems like you just covered most of it in about 10 seconds 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes! This reads parsonage to me as well! That explains all the office chairs and more bathrooms than bedrooms. It's likely a breakout space / small groups meeting area

Ugh I read this article a few days ago but it doesn't tell you the names of the two pictured. Is her name Dana or not!? Is he Noam??

But supposedly also Washington hated parties and the rambunctious drunk types so... Who the fuck knows. Everyone was drunk back then.

Maybe that's why they were celebrating him leaving?

I don't understand why people are using apps with ads. What is the reason? Is connect selling my data and boost isn't? Why would you pick an app that has ads when so many don't?

Yes! I don't want my pillows falling off the sides, I don't want my phone to fall off the edge, I don't want my blanket slipping over the edge. Right now I create the little lip with a rolled up t shirt on the edge so I can put my phone down and roll over and in the morning it'll still be on my bed

Yeah, I'm half surprised there isn't "under consume" on the list and they stop letting people in who don't spend enough money

But then they removed the article, so honestly, jury's out

The only thing I /need/ it for is convenience. I really really want it for: Contact (calls and texts) Maintaining relationships easily (group chats for fun chatting and organizing meet ups) Lots of apps I could use pen and paper for (keeping track of my baby's eating and sleep schedule, checking in on the elderly family member via camera versus actually going home and into her room, tracking my period, keeping track of everyone's phone numbers)

And then I could read a newspaper or find somewhere with cable and watch the news, but instead I keep track of news and weather with my phone. I live somewhere with dangerous weather, so it's nice to get those alerts
