The Pitters' Place

I've been told by many people independently that I look like Adam Scott.

Monk

@Monk: I've noticed that actually, and in some men too - most notably this gay guy I know who grew up with an abusive father. I don't think it's the result of a 'be nice' routine so much as a defensive mechanism. I have the same thing to some degree (just smiling, not laughing), as well as two of m...

One thing I often notice when talking or listening to women is: Very often, women laugh and talk at the same time. They say something, and before finishing the sentence, they burst out laughing. Some men do it as well; but I have the subjective impression that it's more common with women. Maybe thi...

Monk

It's not just the white privilege thing, though there's obviously that. He just seems utterly incapable of understanding the opposing side's arguments. It's hilariously pathetic at times. That and he's a complete ass

Monk

I enjoyed Pagemaster as a kid, but never thought it quite stacked up to other animated films of its era. I saw King Ralph as a kid and actually liked it, but I probably wouldn't care for it these days despite Goodman. Spaceballs probably remains my favorite spoof movie, largely because of my nerdine...

Liszt, it's too cute/funny to do so. She's also frightens very easily for no apparent reason sometimes, so I suspect it'll be short lived.

Monk

I'm talking people like Vegas, ErJen, Blade, Ada, Mutha, Deanshore and any number of other permanent fuckwits you can think of. Is there any justification for it to remain illegal to do humanity, and especially the gene pool, a service by eliminating these embarrassments from society? We could make...

Monk

I guess I should've just said Cash. I don't even know who you are Seriously? .. You're Marv right? .. I've been on the pit since the pit started, initially as Jattard but been going by Thesalmonofdoubt for like . years, like probably the last 8 or so years. Good to see I make an unforgettable impre...

...it's kind of adorable.

Because of this article, I am now aware of a new law - Lewis's Law:

Lewis's law is an eponymous law taken from her observation that "the comments on any article about feminism justify feminism".

Monk

I do kind of miss the mayhem of the older games. If I recall correctly, you used to have to go crazy with shooting and explosions to get a wanted level. In GTA V, I would get a wanted star even if I was in the middle of the friggin desert and used a silencer to kill one person. It was ridiculous.

Monk

What planet are we on? Jesus Christ.

Monk

It's illegal to discriminate against someone based on race, and (although I'm less sure of this) on sex. Is that so? From the article: “The notice may refer to the person's religious beliefs, but shall state specifically which couples the business does not serve by referring to a refusal based upon...

Monk

What if all businesses will start discriminating? How do you mean? What if in some rural area, all businesses will advertise: No service to <homos/blacks/unmarried women>? Where will the members of the discriminated groups turn to? A positive outcome might be that some businesses will advertise: We...

Monk

In terms of your examples, the concern with girls has more to do with physical image while your example of the boys is more focused on behavior. And among those male behaviors, they are generally not looked upon in a positive light. Aladdin thieves out of necessity to live, not to become rich. Flynn...

Pics, please!

I still haven't seen this one of the trilogy - I was turned off by the part I and part II concept. Having read the books, I cannot fathom how they can make two movies out of it without it dragging like hell.

Monk

I will say, the part where Thorin falls into the gold lake...thing was just cringe-worthy bad. This is the only objection to BoFA on this thread that I will accept because I did not need to find out that Thorin's true nemesis is really badly animated CGI gold. [laugh] Don't get me wrong - I still l...

Monk

I haven't tried multiplayer yet - maybe I'll give it a try. I've heard they recently added Heists, which sounds interesting.

Monk

I had a hate-love relationship with Trevor. I flat out don't like Michael, and Franklin I'm mostly neutral. I agree that it's the best of the series, but I just didn't really get the same amount of enjoyment I used to get. Maybe upon a replay

Monk

Finally got around to playing it. I enjoyed it, but I think (for me) the series is getting a little stale. The game is certainly more remarkable than previous installments, and the city is absolutely gorgeous with an unbelievable amount of detail. That being said, I was kind of "meh" over ...

Monk

Yeah....I was disappointed with Five Armies. I didn't hate it, I just found it unremarkable (especially when compared to the original LotR triology, and even Desolation of Smaug). It seemed like there was a lot of filler. I will say, the part where Thorin falls into the gold lake...thing was just cr...

I have to concur.

Monk

Thank you for posting this

Monk

People are called SJWs regardless of whether they're angry or calm. I don't think it's at all inappropriate for the privileged to express anger or point out bigotry, as more often than not they're more likely to be taken seriously on the matter by others of the same race and gender. As aels pointed ...

Monk

Pretty much everything I've read about Keanu is that he's the nicest person in Hollywood. Hard for me to believe this story.

Monk

It's easy to make fun of the sissification in Hollywood with effeminate little posers like Efron and Pattinson being so popular. But then take a look at 40 years ago when their places in the list of most popular actors were taken by effeminate little posers like Woody Allen and Al Pacino. Before an...

Monk

I don't like the description of the problem in that article. Though it says that the host "knows what's going on," it doesn't specify that he ALWAYS opens a goat door; that he ensures that he's never opening the car door. This is an important piece of the puzzle. If the host just opens an...

Monk

That truly frightens me

Monk

My cats are indoor only. One in particular actually listens to me most of the time, and comes when I call her.

Monk

...a liberal. Seriously, his Facebook friends are Cray Cray

Monk

Monk

Also, doesn't a lot of this have more to do with language? Couldn't one just substitute "penetrate" with "envelop" and the entire dynamic changes? Or am I naive to think that?

Monk

Of course it is. How else would the alphabet song work?! Zed doesn't rhyme!

Monk

She posts on her own terms

Monk

I don't understand how she thinks that intercourse is unnatural. It's very hard to take her seriously when she makes such terribly wrong statements.

Monk

I'm alive. I got a bit of a talking to by my boss about spending too much time on the computer and haven't been using the computer much at home. That said, this does seem a bit more smartphone friendly than the last forum

Anyway, yeah. No one was happy about this ploy.
