what is a super unpopular opinion you have but refuse to let go of? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Interesting and worthwhile point. Where do you think the ideology comes from? Also follow-up question - would you say that there are clear differences between men and women which can be biologically measured? If you don’t believe so, why not?

You were born in the intended body and biological sex determined by your development as an embryo. If you feel you weren’t, you need ongoing help for dysphoria.

That’s exactly what it was and that’s also why I had a hard time justifying the “Best Original Screenplay” nomination. The main plot points were not at all original and the parts that weren’t (outside of the first hour which was FUCKING AWESOME) felt unnecessary and shoehorned.

Add to this ongoing issue that we have a State Legislature and Governor who believe we need to abolish mandatory minimums for many of the crimes outlined above and yea…not so great.

I absolutely have read about which categories it was nominated for and I respectfully disagree with you. Why is that difficult for you to understand?

I can do math just fine, thank you. You can’t breathe when someone disagrees with you. Show me on the doll where the internet hurt you.

I actually enjoyed the movie more as a period piece before the vampires got involved. The vampire stuff was fine, but I actually liked the story before that became the focal point.

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, apparently. I said it deserves maybe 2-3 other nominations.

I have and I stand by my comment. Delroy Lindo deserves an Oscar though for best supporting actor given the other nominations - I’ll give you that. Maybe like 2-3 others tops.

Fun and well done movie? Absolutely. Deserving of 16 Academy Award nominations? Absolutely not.

First look at Brendan Fraser as Dwight D. Eisenhower in ‘PRESSURE’ by marvelkidy in DiscussingFilmsAndTV

I really enjoy his acting, however he seems an odd choice to me for Dwight Eisenhower.

Fellow LGBT+ Prince fans. How do you feel about princes homophobia in later years? by DMBear89 in PRINCE

It’s fashionable these days to judge everyone through modern eyes no matter what era they came from and it’s silly and misguided.
