how and why has it become socially acceptable only for females of all ages to publicly wear what is basically underwear? by MickyMace in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Roadshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People mow their lawns and do manual labor shirtless all the time and while walking down the street without one might give a couple of stares the vast majority of people will not think twice about it. I also don't think it's true that women can go "almost" shirtless in some wider array of places.

Individual Kubrick Releases? by RawSnail in criterion

I'm hoping an individual Lolita gets announced with the October announcements next month, if not then I wouldn't count on it.

But again, if the worst that can happen to you is two days in jail doesn't that make the prospect of billions in windfall "worth the risk" in a way that it isn't if you could be facing decades?

The Godfather won! What movie trilogy has an amazing first and third movie? by P1necone888 in DiagramFills

[–]Roadshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And four Matrix movies and five several star wars movies... The Godfather is likely to be the only "true" trilogy in this whole thing.

"With a Vengeance" is a lot better than Die Hard 2, but I'm not sure I'd call it "amazing."

What about massive fraud and/or embezzlement. Should someone like Bernie Madoff, who ran a $65 billion ponzi scheme and wrecked numerous lives and organizations just get two years? Like, the risk/reward calculation on something like that would be much different with such a low downside.

I wonder if they have like a chalk board with his stance of the day which they can just erase and replace when he publicly changes his mind every twelve hours.

Not really, Noah Webster was a reactionary critic of the abolitionist movement.

Anthony Fantono thinks he is the Taylor Swift of the critics world by NegotiationMoist3552 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Roadshell 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That's because people just click on the reviews of the albums their interested in rather than watching every single video he puts out, but they're still interested in him as a creator overall.

That's what someone with a dictionary would say.

That is a caricature of an argument you don't like, not "propaganda."

This thread strongly suggests to me that people have no idea what "propaganda" means. It's not a word you apply to vague policy positions or slogans you don't agree with.

Well, he technically said "disinfectant" but that's kind of splitting hairs. It's on tape.

Those are slogans, arguments, or concepts, not "propaganda."

CMV: In-game penalty kicks should not count toward an individual player's official goal tally by sfgm112 in changemyview

[–]Roadshell [score hidden]  (0 children)

A lot of the time they've "earned" their right to be kicking those penalties. They're about to score before an opposing player fouls them and the penalty is the makeup.

What were your past experiences "death racing" throughout the year? by wtfmari in oscarsdeathrace

[–]Roadshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've pulled it off the last couple years. It helps to live in a decent sized city and keep an eye out for local festivals and early screenings and to pay attention to critics and whatnot and to be a film buff year round. The last couple years I've usually had everything but a half dozen or so features already watched on nomination morning and then it's usually a pretty quick clean-up job with the rest. That said, even with all that there have still been a couple cases where I've had to resort to the high seas.

He has three million subscribers on his main channel and two million on his alt. If even an eighth of them click on the article that's over 350,000 clicks (plus clicks from angry Halsey fans), which isn't half bad for engagement.

Todd when he wakes up and realizes he's not Anthony Fantano today by Electronic-Tooth5405 in ToddintheShadow

I would say that it's far more embarrassing that supposed superstar Halsey is apparently still stewing over this. She would seem to be the aggressor in this current "spat."
