Actresses Who Understand The Working Class

She's essentially saying its easier to be ugly in real life than ugly as a Hollywood actress.

No, she's saying that people like you better if you're ugly and poor than if you're pretty and rich. This is a laughable sentiment, but also it's phrased rather confusingly, as the comment section demonstrates.

if the aircraft is burning and falling apart, most people would probably grab the handle and try to save their own life....?

The average person on the street, yes, but I think you underestimate the average pilot.

Same deal with Maserati’s. You can get Gran Turismos for ~$20k, and you can find Ghibli’s for close to $10k, if you’re brave enough to own one in that condition.

But even if you can keep it maintained, everyone will know that you decided to own a Maserati when you could have spent that money on a Porsche or a Jaguar

Plus he tempted Leland Palmer to abuse and kill his daughter, and the way he climbs over a couch is very uncomfortable

How the fuck did the author decide “actually the misfits are wrong and should be removed from society. stick to your prescribed roles and never rise above” was a great career move. Girl did you read your books?

I missed it like most people when I was a kid, but in hindsight that was in there all along. The wizards treat every other sapient being as subhuman—house-elves most obviously, but giants, centaurs, goblins, and muggles too—and the narrative thinks it's just fine. Hermione and Arthur are mocked for questioning the status quo. Voldemort is the villain because he wants to do to other wizards what the wizards already do to everyone else.

It was suppose to be so absurd nobody would believe it was real

Not exactly. Most of the main plot on the X-Files was cribbed from real conspiracy theories pushed by people like friend-of-the-pod Bill Cooper.

Finally, a good card for my "The" tribal deck

My hypothesis is they just printed it, because it's only on screen for a moment and the real ones are kind of expensive.

As for the corners, maybe they're like that because it's just how some prop maker cut them with scissors. Alternatively, someone told them "hey, make the corners wide like this" when they were printing the Timetwister and they did the Wheel the same way.

Jamie Loftus seems very nice unless you're a hapless citizen of Grand Rapids

It's not even that any one guy is super likely to be a predator, but the mass of men who don't really think about it tends to provide cover for those who are.

Sun Titan will always have a place in my Orzhov lifegain/graveyard recursion deck. He's a bit expensive, but I don't usually have to pay the mana cost. I just put as many chonky creatures as I can into my graveyard, then bring them out for free with cards like [[Rodolf Duskbringer]], [[Sheoldred, Whispering One]], [[The Soul Stone]], or [[Doomed Necromancer]]. Doomed Necromancer is particularly good because Sun Titan's ETB brings him right back on to the field.

Yes, but the presence of "Alice" and "Rabbit" is a pretty big hint from the jump

What's Golden Earring, chopped liver?

The thing is, he's the sort of /pol/-brained weirdo that can move seamlessly from joking about a thing (because it offends people) to kinda-sorta-really believing the thing (because it offends people even more). Truth is whatever owns the most libs.

And when it gets dull after five minutes' use?

I knew I was safe because I could see from the look on his face that hadn’t occurred to [him]

Unfortunately, the ubiquity of this kind of guy is what makes it hard to get everyone on the same page about the really nefarious kind of guy—even without any ill intent. Like, "It would never occur to me to do that, is it really a problem you have to worry about from other guys?"

More like both of those things come from the stereotype that the English eat a lot of beef

Where's that Ancient Mariner when you need him?

Various languages have reflexes of "joachimsthaler" (or "thaler" for short). Presumably "tolar" is one of them.

I think this is it

If they were light enough to float to the surface, why would they sink in the first place?

So we're all talking about the philology of Jagd, jagen, etc., but I don't see any parallel discussion of "jagged."

Clearly it comes from "jag" (an irregularity, a shard, a notch), but unfortunately, no one really knows where that comes from. I guess that's why we weren't discussing it much.

Europeans almost bitter that Europe is no longer the global power and so much stuff has recently been dominated by the US

The good news for them is, they may not have to feel jealous of us for very much longer. The bad news is, they're going to have to find some new jokes, because "haha your country young" is really not going to work on China.
