Only the third time in history this has happened.* *For acting. I think one or two songs might have been nominated for both. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar |

Topic | Is anyone else having flashbacks to last year with the weather? |
Yesmar_ 03/12/21 12:43:52 PM #1 | Obviously all of the one year anniversary stuff is helping, but the onset of spring is really bringing me back to everything shutting down last year. I wonder how long this will go on for? Will the feelings be stuck with me forever the same way fall reminds me of school/college starting again? --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar |

Yesmar_ 03/12/21 10:52:12 AM #40 | I don't have any experience with this personally, but I would imagine that once things reopen in earnest this summer, the VA would have some sort of social programs to look into, especially in an area like Northern Virginia. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!

Topic | What are the best seasons of Survivor? |
Yesmar_ 03/12/21 10:43:11 AM #46 | When you watch the earlier seasons, I would definetly recommend watching 1-8 in order, although Season 5 is unnecessary for most people. There's a nice progression there. You can kind of jump around afterward, but I feel like those ones should be watched in order. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar |

Topic | Politics Containment Topic 367: Cuomophobic |
Yesmar_ 03/04/21 11:47:54 AM #146 | I think that this is self-selection on first-world women's parts. I've noticed that countries/regions with the lowest birth rates tend to be ones that still have very traditional views towards men/women's roles (East Asia, Eastern/Southern Europe, the upper classes in Latin America), as opposed to higher rates in places like France and Scandinavia (although I think this might have started to change recently), who have less of those issues. They are still lower than replacement, but not like others. Even within the US/Canada, the areas with the highest birth rates are the Mountain/Prairie regions, where women have traditionally been considered more equal to men in their jobs/society. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!

Yesmar_ 03/02/21 1:03:25 AM #8 | Good. I hate the plot twist in The Prestige so much. It violates my personal rules of narrative. I can finally get this off my chest without triggering the stuffer, lol. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar |

Yesmar_ 02/26/21 4:44:06 PM #216 | The parliamentarian was asked a question and provided an answer; she has no power to pass legislation. If the rules should be ignored, the Senate would be the ones to do so. People in this topic were saying for weeks they weren't sure minimum wage qualified for reconciliation anyway. Should they be compared to Nazis as well? --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar |

Yesmar_ 02/26/21 12:22:37 PM #466 | Has our culture regressed to such a point of immaturity that fairly approachable populist entertainment is now considered the height of "pretentious" Oscar bait just because it's not part of a franchise or something? --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!

Topic | Which (if any) MeToo-type reveals have impacted your enjoyment of a work? |
Yesmar_ 02/24/21 10:46:28 AM #33 | Yeah, just to be clear, I don't believe in removing art from circulation because of the author/auteur. I just mentioned "Human Nature" because it's creepy now. I think complicating things makes them more complex, not worthy of dismissal (well, for the most part.) On the flip side, has anyone seen "Tess?", which was Polanski's first film post-rape conviction. I know that he was planning on making it anyway, but it was certainly an interesting choice to do afterwards. I mean, look at the tag line on the poster. Great film, which I kind of don't know how to take entirely. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4f/TessPoster.jpg/220px-TessPoster.jpg --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!

Yesmar_ 02/23/21 9:53:21 PM #2 | It's a bit...problematic to realize that "Human Nature" by Michael Jackson is probably about how intolerant society is of pedophilia. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar |

Topic | Most consequential election in American history? |
Yesmar_ 02/23/21 4:34:27 PM #33 | I went with 1860 for obvious reasons. My galaxy brain answer for #2 is 1916. I've been thinking a lot recently about what happened to the GOP, and where the turning point was, and I think that this is it. If Hughes wins, the Republicans are the ones one that WWI gets blamed on, and get thrown out in 1920. With the Republicans on their toes, the conservatives in the party can't afford to steamroll the progressives/moderates like they did in reality. I'm not sure how things shake out, but it can't possibly go worse for them than it actually did. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar |

Yesmar_ 02/19/21 4:32:29 PM #19 | William Henry Harrison was also one of the top military leaders of his time before running for office, so I would exclude him for that reason as well. I would say Benjamin Harrison. Not even sure of anything that he did as President. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar |
