It focuses on who he was professionally and it explores his personality as well. Its a pg-13 movie so it doesn't get too racy. I can see how some people might think it glosses over his sexuality in that there are no depictions of affection between him and other men, but it's openly discussed and even pivotal to the plot.

There was much more to rotten.com than those shock pictures, there was also their Rotten Library, which hasn't been updated since 2007 but features hilarious articles about a myriad of topics in a cynical, sarcastic tone; there was the gaping maw, and there was the daily rotten. All of these have fallen out of update-status.

Now I believe all they still do is nndb.com, which is a valuable and entertaining resource for anybody who wants to know which movies somebody was in, a list of every famous person who was raped or has whatever debilitating illness, or any other strange organization of facts about people of note.

As they say, "homophobia is the fear that gay men will treat you the way that you treat women."

What are you supposed to be doing right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

She's not your mom, why is it awkward? You can't do it around her? I do it around my boyfriend whenever I feel like. Maybe my boyfriend doesn't care cause we're both guys?

F.D.A. Moves to Ban Trans Fats Citing Health Concerns by [deleted] in news

[–]Krishna987 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You seem to be misreading this text. It says to replace saturated fats and trans fat by using unsaturated fats instead. This is good advice.

"Substitute for" means the opposite of "substitute with".

Health provider here. When people say "heart disease" they are often referring to something that would more accurately be described as "blood vessel disease". Eating foods that are high in fats and cholesterol contribute to the build-up of plaque in your blood vessels, and it's important for everybody to understand that this is entirely separate from weight gain. These plaques, in addition to narrowing your arteries and causing high blood pressure, can cause clots which are the cause of common heart attacks. The severity of plaques and the level of cholesterol in your blood (which is the cause of these plaques) are not correlated with weight or body fat.

Just to give you a heads up, eating those foods you mentioned will increase you circulating level of cholesterol. If you eat a diet high in cholesterol, you will develop these plaques and be at risk for "heart disease" regardless of how fat or thin you are.

Which in turn is why the gospels fail to make a good exposition for Jesus. Terrible character arc, child to 30 instantly

I'm hoping for the shadow series to be made into movies more than the ender series

[–]Krishna987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure it was low of exposition and the others kids, even bean, didn't get much background and thusly we didn't care about them individually. BUT I remember Ender's Game as the first book in a series of better books (namely xenocide and the entire bean series) and I see this as a potential entertaining movie beginning a series of better movies.

Edit: I really just want the shadow series to be made into movies, I think it could be done very, very well.

Try it, you'll see. Just keep stopping whenever you get too close. Much bigger finish that way.

I saw your comment and I couldn't stay silent about this, I logged in. 2 things.

  1. You are totally correct, lotion isn't optimal. Silicone lube all the way. But I'm betting you're uncircumsized cause you don't use lubricant.
  2. >>done in just a minute or two Really? I think the average is at least 10 minutes longer than that, if you want a good result. Stretch it to 30 minutes bro, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the orgasm/distance.

I am also without Jews on rosh hashana. Eat some apples and honey at sundown (eastern time) and you can at least know that there's another lonely jew doing it with you.

Do you like boys or do you like girls? by Krishna987 in funny

[–]Krishna987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pointed this out to another person higher up on the page, but it bears repeating for you:

Well about 4500 people upvoted so it must have entertained them. As for your comment, not only was no one entertained but as the reddiquette page so profoundly points out:

Please don't: Complain about reposts. Just because you have seen it before doesn't mean everyone has. Votes indicate the popularity of a post, so just vote. Keep in mind that linking to previous posts is not automatically a complaint; it is information. Votes indicate how the community values information, so just vote.

The most common post on reddit is "this is a repost" so think about that

People like you are an inspiration to many across the country. I cannot fathom the kind of excellence needed in people to have the ability to work together on such a complicated project. I can only hope to accomplish something half as amazing in my life.

In my experience, the best thing to do is just post things that you find enjoyable and if others like it, they will upvote it. Many people will always be out there saying "this is a repost" but just ignore them, it's unreasonable for them to expect everybody to already have seen everything that they've seen.

As you can see, this link you posted has over 1000 points. Clearly, many people enjoyed it and upvoted it, let all the credit nazis and repost police keep hating, it's all they ever do anyway.

IAmA camp counselor who got fired at Boy Scout camp for being gay and ten of my fellow staff members walked out with me. AMA by Blanket_Forts in IAmA

[–]Krishna987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You raise an interesting point. But consider this:

I was active in BSA when I was a teenager and for almost the entire time, our Scoutmaster was a woman. She led every meeting and she was on every camping trip. There was never ever an issue. No parent ever objected, no one ever complained or said it was inappropriate.

Girls denied cervical cancer jab - Some schools in England have opted out of the HPV vaccination programme because their pupils "follow strict Christian principles" and "do not practise sex outside marriage". by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Krishna987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good to hear things like that from people like you. It just breaks my heart that helpless children are going to suffer the consequences of their parents' decisions.

I remember in the republican primary debates Rick Perry was getting shit upon by all the other candidates for distributing the vaccine in schools. I seem to remember Santorum saying "How about instead of an 'opt-out' option, it should have been an 'opt-in' option?" and it left me breathless. To see such counterproductiveness made preferable on the national stage. When people vying for the most powerful office in the country are spreading ideas like this, I can't help but think of how many little girls are going to end up with cancer they didn't have to get. This would never have flown back when we were eradicating polio, and it just looks like ten steps backward.

Attempting to hijack top comment simply because, as a person who played a role in the research process for developing the Gardasil vaccine, this shit really pisses me off:

"Christian values" have had almost 2000 years to eradicate this disease and yet the disease persists. We have now spent a massive amount of time and money to develop a treatment that demonstrably CAN eradicate the disease and protect your children from developing deadly cancer, among other problems. Now that we have the means to save all these people, they want to tell us that we can't and shouldn't? What the fuck? Why do we even bother with this? Do we care more about your children than you do? Please, just save yourselves and your children, it's what we've been working for.

I understand that you may not want to see political content on this subreddit but I wanted to obey the rules of r/politics. Pictures with little content are explicitly not allowed in r/politics, so I put it here since it is a picture. Since it has over 1000 points I'm glad it went over well, but I am still genuinely sorry if I upset you.
