This is for Lucinda. When did you become a feminist and why?

2018-06-15 12:55:51 +0000 UTCUm, Heath, Marilyn wasn't standing over a sewer grate. If that were a blast of methane, I think she would have been violently ill, which would have spoiled the effect. It's been a long time since I saw the movie, but I think there were sound effects indicating it was a subway ventilation grate. Still, it reminds me of a scene from _Dead Like Me_: Delores Herbig : Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a serious affliction. Most people don't know this, but Marilyn Monroe had I.B.S. Georgia 'George' Lass : Is that what blew her skirt up?

Nixon did at least have a relatively adult level of emotional and intellectual development. The Trumpsterfire would be mentally stunted compared to many toddlers.

2018-06-14 22:27:06 +0000 UTCHere's why you do NOT want a parliamentary system. The Conservative government in the UK has virtually absolute power -- including the ability to change the constitution -- despite winning only 42.4% of the popular vote. Whereas the opposition Labour party has almost no power at all despite winning 40% of the popular vote. The only check on the government's power is the House of Lords, but at best they can only delay rather than block bad legislation. The monarch can theoretically refuse to enact a bill but this hasn't happened since 1707 and would cause a constitutional crisis if it ever did happen. Nevertheless most people support the existence of the monarchy because the current holder of the post has been relatively competent and nobody alive remembers the previous-holder-but-one who was a Nazi collaborator. Incidentally it shouldn't be that hard to be competent at a job where the only requirement is to never say or do anything meaningful, but the next guy in line apparently can't even manage that.

2018-06-14 09:09:56 +0000 UTCHi guys. Look, I have a request. I know it’s a big one, and may take hours of painstakingly detailed work and possible a crippling CGI budget that could drain SA’s reserves, but I think it would be worth it: Eli needs to undergo several long hours of intense hair, make up and prosthetics application and/or have a custom Weta Workshop model commissioned, to allow him to accurately portray the character of John Kluge in the production of another SA video skit. But seriously, you guys should DEFINITELY make your trans sketch into a video. It makes a series of REALLY good, logically sound points, backed with clear, solid science, expressed with the group’s inimitably scathing humour. ...Let’s be honest tho, if Eli just applied the latex paste and patchy stubble himself, the resulting prosthetic atrocity might end up looking pretty accurate.
