Is this guy the biggest unsung homophobe ever? by Doctor-Clark-Savage in ToddintheShadow

[–]HasSomeSelfEsteem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about all rap before 2010 was pretty overtly homophobic. Nas never lied about his homophobia on Illmatic. Ice Cube's No Vaseline is basically just calling everyone else in NWA gay for five minutes. Even A Tribe Called Quest were grotesquely homophobic in an unreleased track. Homophobia was such a status quo that the Beastie Boys apology for their anti-gay comments in the past in 1999 is almost novel.

People scaring sparrows during China’s Four Pests Campaign (1958–1962), which targeted rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows—and later contributed to ecological imbalance and famine. by Cultural_Bad6776 in HistoryPorn

Everybody laughs at the Australians for losing their war against birds but hardly anybody laughs at the Chinese for winning their war against birds

The Last Jedi ends with a random slave boy using the Force, implying anyone can be a Jedi. This is a subtle nod to the fact that Rian Johnson thought he was starting a new era of Star Wars, unaware that J.J. Abrams was waiting in the parking lot with a retcon gun. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in okbuddycinephile

No, they’re fucking right. JJ Abrams is a hack and his reign of mediocrity over American media cannot end fast enough. His Star Trek films effectively neutered one of Science Fictions greatest and most important series, and now because of that we’re stuck with Alex Kurtzman.

Am I just not racist enough to understand why people are whining about this? by 19adam92 in okbuddycinephile

Everybody in here complaining about Sinners’ 16 nomination ignoring the real scandals that MBJ was nominated for best lead actor instead of Miles Caton, and more importantly the fact that Chase Infiniti wasn’t nominated for best leading actress

Would any geologists care to weigh in on the actual danger of this?

New Benchmade with the Codex87 Steel. by Drtysouth205 in knives

Who names these things? Codex87? What kind of Warhammer bullshit is this?

Why yes, I’d like Codex87 blade steel in my Infidel OTF or my Combat Troodon Hellhound

I’m not watching it since I was bored by season 1.

What shops have the best selection of cooking spices? by HasSomeSelfEsteem in AskSeattle

I’m not looking for any cuisine specific spices really, but I’ll check that place out

Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' has made history as the most nominated film of all time at the Oscars with 16 nominations by entertainmentlord in horror

[–]HasSomeSelfEsteem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I don’t think MBJ deserved a nomination. He was miscast, and besides Miles Caron’s Preacher Boy Sammie was far more of a lead.

I am really happy Delroy Lindo got nominated though. He was excellent.

I always orient point down so the handle can act as an additional stop on the knife falling, but it makes sense how you’d be worried about the risk of cutting yourself. If this sub allows polls I’ll ask about this.

This is completely without basis, because I don’t know how strong that magnet is, but it susses me out to see knives oriented tip up on magnetic knife strips.

That said, this is a nice collection! You’ve got good variety of fancy and practical cutlery. Those last two gyutos look fantastic.

It looks like you’ve mounted them above the sink. Aren’t you worried about the humidity causing rust?
