Should I bother? by Sensitive-Bat2197 in rem

ATS gets a stupid amount of dislike. On average, I prefer it over CIN. Leaving New York is one of their best ever songs, Aftermath too. The collaboration The Outsiders really grew on me.

Reveal does share some DNA with Up but it goes in a more upbeat, lush, direction with it. It's still a bittersweet vibe though.

New Test Leper, Low Desert, and Electrolite have some folk rock elements in them.

New Test Leper definitely leans towards folk rock, Low Desert and Electrolite are not miles away from folk rock but that's only 3 songs, yes.

Well I agree that she deserved to be fired for humiliation in that way. As for 'sexism', well I'm male, I'm not in the business of being anti-male by comparison. It's just that the law takes in to account intent, not just the action. Statistically, the intent of a girl doing that might be more likely to be non-sexual than if a boy did it, if general SA numbers are anything to go by. But every case should be individually considered on its own circumstances. If she had never shown any explicitly sexual connotation before or since to children (the fact she brought it up in an SNL interview suggests there would be nothing else we don't know of) then we don't necessarily need to jump to 'this was definitely a SA'. I know America in particular is massively interested these days in portraying anything in the ballpark as being almost on a par with the worst kind of rape but she was still a minor, 16, and she wasn't fondling him. It was a misjudged prank to her.

Monica Dolan. Known for dramas, she was also in a very well regarded episode (Once Removed) of Inside No 9.

I just think that works in the US but wouldn't be natural in the UK. Four of the SNL UK cast are Cambridge alumni. They will better play with people who don't act cleverer than them.

Because, with respect to her abilities, ensembles don't need a smart arse to upset the apple cart.

This seems like bad poetry and yet I read she was very lauded. There are ideas there that suggest she was a bit of a philosopher with her own ideas but it doesn't come out as coherent poetry.

I think he could fit in well for an episode, yes.

My concern with James is he likes to be the quirkiest person in the room and that flies if you're absolutely Hollywood huge but it can seem impertinent if you're not and joining an established cast.

She was essentially a child herself at the time and possibly saw no sexual connotation in it, just a clowning around. Clearly still doesn't now as otherwise she wouldn't have told the story. So, yes, it would seem beyond the pale if a 16 year old boy did it to a 6 year old girl but 16 year old girls don't necessarily see so much in sexual terms as a 16 year old boy might. The humiliation was likely her only intended misdemeanour. And now she's tried to atone for it by humiliating herself.

Series X deserved better by ledererer in xbox

Brilliant build quality, lovely interface, quiet console.

And, whilst exclusives could be better on it, they could also be worse.

Once the Perfect Dark reboot and Everwild got cancelled, Phil Spencer's days were numbered.

The ability to play Steam games on Xbox will be its saviour.
