Not surprisingly, people who couldn’t admit when they were wrong didn’t come into this thread and admit that they have been wrong.

Seriously, why would they wear hats so unsuited for their head shape? This answer suits their head shape perfectly and is far superior to all the provided answers.

(I may mis-recall all the details because this was some years back.) There was girl who took a Danny Devito cutout as her “date” to highschool prom and posted the professional prom photo online, and the story got big enough that he heard about it. He was so amused by it that he brought a custom made cardboard cutout of her from the prom picture to the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia set to take a photo with.

You’re right, that does sound particularly like something an autistic person would say. It’s also something I’d be perfectly happy to hear and engage with.

“New toilet paper, same shit” is how an old boss of mine used to say it. Good for if you want to go clever yet crude.

“Hey, what’s for lunch?”

“A stick of butter.”

I don’t even have to click the link to know that’s Captain Holt of Brooklyn 99 undercover as a heterosexual man, because that was my first thought on reading the post.

Those scenes are just there to establish that he’s capable, intelligent and talented in the ways the agency needs, so it’s plausible they would recruit him. Never-mind that they also establish the way he looks at the world and approaches problems which is then forgotten immediately.

I don’t keep up with warlock seniority in New York and I don’t know who Magnus Bane is, but I read in another comment that John Ramirez is now a former warlock who says he died, went to hell, repented, and was sent back to life to preach against Satan. I’m not ready to take the guy’s word about all that, but it’s clear he no longer is taking up the top warlock spot, assuming he ever did, so there’s currently no conflict with Mr. Bane holding that title.

Classic Italian mistake.

Yeah, the American West has a huge variety of very distinct biomes. For the purpose of telling a story though, one rocky desert or forested mountain vale or whatever is as good as another, leaving us, the audience, largely unaware and misled. We mostly only notice when they do that to areas we’re familiar with.

Reminds me of the movie The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson. There’s a scene where he is at his home in what is clearly the upcountry of South Carolina not too far from the Appalachians and he takes a walk down his garden path to visit his wife’s grave, which is located in the South Carolina lowcountry, by the coast, somehow skipping past over a hundred miles of pine forest that would have been between those areas. If you’re not familiar with those areas, they both just look like areas in the American Southeast, but if you are familiar, it’s very jarring.

As an American that confusion is the entire reason I opened the article. Then I saw “Australia” and “Crown Prosecution Service” and stopped being confused.

Jesus: I came not to enforce the law, but to fulfill it.

Paul: Well, what he AKSTUALLY meant is blah blah ceremonial law vs moral law blah blah sex is yucky, I mean sinful!

I mean, it’s more complex than that, but Paul wrote like he understood the necessity of reproduction, but didn’t really comprehend what sexual urges actually feel like. He also wrote such long rambling sentences that he makes Charles Dickens look concise and clear.

Fine, I’ll paraphrase it for you then. “Towels are really useful when you are traveling the galaxy LOL.”

“A towel, [The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Domestic worker isn’t exactly a euphemism here. It refers to the type of work done, ie someone who does house-work. Slave refers the situation the work is done under.

I completely agree that the word slave accurately describes their situation and is conspicuously absent from the article.

or with parental consent.

Eww, that line tells you all you need to know about this guy. And the fact that this is actually legal in some states is disturbing.

Now I want to know if DeVinci had any rivalries with other artists that we could bring back.

Well sure, but only if you interpret it like a reasonable person, which they don’t.
