some places they throw the food in the trash if you cant pay. Which is wasteful and idiotic. And also cruel

It's different in the poor sections of the LAUSD. Kids can't carry food out of the cafeteria. Any uneaten food has to be thrown away.

There's a very good reason for this. In the past, poor kids would take their cafeteria lunches home to their family so that the family could eat. As a result, the kids themselves didn't eat during lunch, which defeated the purpose of offering cafeteria lunches.

I don't see how the actor is supposed to be responsible for it when they have an armorer specifically to ensure gun safety, but we'll see where this goes...

IIRC Baldwin was a part owner of the production company, so he was partially responsible for the lax safety standards that caused the death. There were signs before the shooting that the set was dangerous. Employees had previously walked off the job over fears for their own safety. Baldwin could have thrown his weight as an owner at any time before hand to fix the problem.

Why would you expect a gun to be loaded on set?

The armorer was a wreckless gun nut who liked to fire off live rounds at empty bottles on set during her lunch break. She would often have live rounds and blanks sitting on the same table. She was fired from her previous job and quietly blacklisted because of a mix up with live rounds that nearly killed someone.

It'll still become shit. Beans add the extra farts in the meantime.

Authentic Mexican cuisine uses a herb in bean dishes that resembles mint and is called epazote. Epazote is a medicinal herb that prevents gassiness and bloating. However, eating too much epazote can make a person ill, so most food preparations outside of Latin America replace it with cilantro.

Do you mean Hank Azaria?

Yah, you're probably right, it might be Hank Azaria. I remember reading an article in The Hollywood Reporter about how a Simpsons voice actor would always do this to get more money and that fans shouldn't panic.

Sounds like Dan Castenella pulled him aside and gave him the talk.

This is a very Dan Castenella move. Announce you're not returning and then negotiate for more money in the background.

Weirdest one I remember was Yeardley Smith in an 80s B-rated horror movie.

Awkwafina spent years claiming the blaccent was her real natural voice but then the second she was up for oscar noms she stopped using it.

She also insinuated in an interview that she was alright with doing a stereotypical black accent, but would never do a stereotypical Asian accent.

@BB_mofo the guy in that picture is black.

So I thought he was white. It was an honest mistake considering he could pass.

To be fair, the dude's girlfriend acknowledged it in one of their uploads.

I think this theme is more your picture's speed.

"Bill the Pwny" probably?

Atleast I first heard it here.

To be honest, no one gave a shit until she brought it on herself in an interview. She proudly stated that she won't do roles that make fun of Asians. Which then leads to "oh, so it's alright when you do roles that make fun of black people then?"

Isnt sony japanese though

Yah, that's kind of what I was trying to get at. There's possibly a history of Capcom trying to merge with other companies. It might go through this time because the company trying to acquire them this time is Japanese.

I may be wrong, but didn't Japanese law prevent Capcom USA from purchasing Capcom JP back in the early 2010s. It's illegal for a foreign entity to purchase a Japanese corporation. Or maybe that was magazine/fan speculation.

If it is true, then I could see Capcom being enthusiastic about Sony buying them.

Apparently he's going to show up in Across the Spiderverse lol Miles had a drawing with his mecha Leopardon in it.

I want to see a Japanese audience's reaction to this when he appears on screen.

I skimmed that article, and it was mostly him blaming everyone else, actors especially, for the film.

Fuck Joss Whedon.

With walnuts.

It's not surprising. Not taking accountability is the thing I've hated most about Whedon ever since an interview he did when "Alien Resurrection" flopped. And his fans have long enabled and defended this aspect of him, especially on Tumblr before this controversy occurred.

Also, a better implement might be a cat dildo. Sure, a cat dildo might sound cute - if you didn't know anything about the mating process of domestic cats.

No one remembers "El Hazard: The Magnificent World."

By the 1970s, he'd developed something of a reputation for being cast as what White people thought a perfect Black man should be.

His buddy comedies he did with Bill Cosby back in the 70s don't get a lot of discussion outside of the black community. "Uptown Saturday Night" and "Let's Do It Again" were heavily referenced by the hip-hop community during the 90s.

"Lilies of the Fields" is still my favorite movie of his because he's at his most down to earth and human. He plays a traveling handyman who helps German nuns build a chapel for an impoverished border town.

Everything Naruto does are tricks that a drag queen would know. Considering he already looks feminine, I would think he could come off as very convincing but it doesn't mean he changes into a real woman.

The cat was about to eat the mouse, but was spooked by the mouse's behavior, determined it was sick and then left.

I agree. If you had access to a T1 connection you could download MP3s, porn, console game emulations, and other warez by simply going to your average search engine or through Usenet. Corporations were not quite Internet savvy yet so copyrighted material was in plain sight or still freely available if you knew where to look.

I consider the end of the line when ISPs stopped hosting free Usenet servers with access to the binaries newsgroups.

Fun story:
Historically there is a huge opening at the crotch of the pantaloons that is hidden by the dress. This makes it easier to urinate into a chamber pot while fully clothed. The downside is that if she spreads her legs too far, or her dress is pulled up too high, her vagina is completely exposed.

Media glosses over this and stitches up the opening for modesty sake. But this is the real reason men went nuts and women were highly embarrassed in old comedies. This is also the reason the can-can at the Moulin Rouge was scandalous.

Americans believe rich people got their wealth through hard work. Since hard work is a virtue, the rich are naturally good God-fearing people. If you are poor, it shows that you are lazy, and being lazy means you are a bad person only one step away from becoming a criminal (if you already aren't).

Is it little wonder that "Prosperity Gospel" is so popular in the United States?

This kinda demonstrates that divorce cases are not about justice

I took a class in tort law for college. My professor was a practicing lawyer and the first thing he taught us was that the law isn't about justice.

Tbh I think it's a hugely important message because it shows the real cost of climate change but man, sometimes I just want to see a funny bird do a dance :(

You missed the epic breakdown Attenborough had 8 years ago in a BBC interview when he went total doomer. He said these majestic ecosystems can't be saved, he's just dedicating his final years to recording what's left so that future generations can see what was lost.

I want an isekai where a 40 year old American weeb gets hit by a truck and wakes in Japan as a Japanese high school student who can understand Japanese.

Big agree

Just because she's not raging doesn't mean it isn't affecting her or won't be a problem. In the comics, Peter and MJs first split was amicable. She said she understood what she was getting into with the relationship, but it ended up still being too much for her. MJ was the one who ended up apologizing.

Then later writers after DeFalco forgot all about that and had MJ rage whenever Peter came home late from patrol (I'm looking at Todd McFarlane).

Laura Croft
Samus Aran
Chun-li
Ms. Pacman

I would have probably said Peach over Chun-li, but I decided a candidate should be a playable character in the game that introduced them.

This reminds me of a documentary I recently watched. It followed a kindly old woman who donated her body to science for use in a 3D scan of the human body.

It was pretty creepy watching her cheerfully being interviewed knowing what was about to happen to her. She talks about her life including her cat, her new great grandchild, and her senior tap dancing class she attends. Then it shows her after death, when her body is frozen in a lab and the medical researchers dismember her with a bone saw. The process was bloodless. I remember the corpse looking like her, but it also looked artificial, like a really well done statue in pieces waiting to be assembled.

To be fair, high fantasy tropes are fascist. Michael Moorcock, Ursula K Leguin, and China Mielville have all brought this up in the past.

One of the most damning criticisms of high fantasy was a parody novel with the framing story being that it was written by Adolph Hitler. The novel was played straight with all the tropes in place, but still sounded like Nazi propaganda. The way he described his orcish race sounded similar to how he described Jews. Pure elvish blood might as well have been pure Aryan blood. The Elves blond hair and blue eyes were also praised as being beautiful above all others.

Most of modern society is too savvy to know you can't reduce a race, even fantasy races, to stereotypes. They demand nuance. So many people wanted to play "good Drows" that they had to create the goddess Eilistraee and her drow followers. Female orcs have become sex symbols in the wider fantasy genre.

I beg to differ. Brown is the shit.

I was Googling this, but couldn't find anything about it. I did, however, find something more interesting about artificial vanilla flavor...

In 2006, Japanese researcher Mayu Yamamoto figured out how to extract vanillin from cow poop. She was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize at Harvard University for this development.

My mistake about grape. But artificial grape flavor is based on the concord grape, which is not very common in supermarkets in the US. Banana flavoring is based on the Gros Michel variety of banana, which did go nearly extinct back in the 50s due to a disease. The kind in the supermarkets today belongs to a group called the Cavendish. Gros Michel are way sweeter than the Cavendish family.

Another interesting bit is that artificial vanilla used to come from the anal glands of a beaver.

Woody Allen. He's obsessed with the nubile shiksa siren (ie women with non-Jewish features). Gets called out on it a lot by his critics.

Luc Besson is a bit of a nonce. Even film critics Siskel and Ebert pointed it out when they reviewed "The Professional".

Alfred Hitchcock and his legendary obsession with blonds which was later turned into an off-Broadway production.

It's not hard anymore. Anyone can do it now in 2021. It has gotten so trivial that there now are traffic jammed lines up the mountain from so many climbers

Everyone with enough money can just hire expert guides and tools that will give them a 100% chance of reaching the peak. Even if you are disabled

The man himself Sir Edmund Hilary pointed the same thing out in an interview when he criticized several climbers for ignoring David Sharp when his life was in danger. He believed summiting Everest was not worth sacrificing the life of someone else in need, especially when the act had already been done to death so many times that it was trivial for anyone with money.

Yeah I never understood why grape flavored shit tastes nothing like grapes

The flavor was based on a grape variety that went extinct decades ago. Same thing happened with artificial banana flavoring.
