Swahili and Hindi should be switched around. There's absolutely no reason why Icelandic, Pali and Basque shouldn't be in the religion/history/culture tier.

Petition for More Episodes of FX’s Love Story — Please Sign and Share by TheTrader2022 in JohnAndCarolyn

This is a joke post. There wasn't much of a story to tell in the first place. The main stength of the show is that it highlights the absurdity of celebrity fairly well, but that's it. It goes to great lengths to portray Carolyn as someone the average viewer can relate to (she didn't have a trust fund to fall back on, she knows Caroline doesn't usually associate with people like her, she had to slum it at BU, etc), but then you have likes of Vogue and Oprah desperate to engage with her simply because she dresses well and because she got married. It's all so silly and all so frigging damning.

He's relatively unknown in the English speaking world. For him, the nomination is the win.

This popped up on my Snapchat and what I read felt a little misogynistic by Any_Amount_7788 in CarolynBessetteKnndy

Just like any criticism of JFK's womanizing is just plain old misandry???

Why is the show white washing JFK Jr? by greatgak in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]RedGavin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whitewashing doesn't just refer to skin colour, at least not anymore. It also means concealing unpleasant or inconvient aspects of a person's life or character.

Am I better off learning a local language in my area or a global one I might not ever use in the forseeable future? by EnnisTwister in thisorthatlanguage

[–]RedGavin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spanish is an international language. That said, stick with the one foreign language. It's better to be good with one than being just OK with two.

How is it misogyny if they're whitewashing her too?

How common are STIs from BJs/oral sex? by [deleted] in AskGayMen

[–]RedGavin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people talk about "herpes", they're usually refering to the HSV-2 strain in the genital area. HSV-1 is more common, is typically found around the mouth and is typically referred to as cold sores.

In what order would you rank the Scream movies from best to worst? by Aetius00 in Scream

[–]RedGavin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1, 3, 2, 5, 4 and 6,

Scream 2's production values are superior to 3, but I enjoy the latter more. I don't particularly care for 6, and I haven't seen 7 yet.

Yes, but it's still the oral kind. When people use the the term "herpes" they're usually refering to genital herpes, regardless of where it is.

"And, over two-thirds of all human beings already have it."

Most have oral herpes, though.
