I go through friends’ playlists, and my daughters’, too

I ask for people to make me mix CDs in lieu of gifts for the holidays

I listen to local independent radio — if you don’t have your own, try ChIRP

I go to shows of bands I like and often find I like the other bands playing as well

The Princess Bride

Shawshank Redemption

Hot Fuzz

Penguins (of Madagascar): The Movie

I also make (and sometimes eat) too many pancakes, so we have that in common as well.

Last night I made too much chana! The recipe said “feeds four” so I doubled it. Good thing it turn out perfect because even after feeding the whole fam we still had half a gallon leftover.

Dark beer and chana masala, and the stereo is playing either deathmetal or hyperpop, since I’m alone. Gotta play the music my wife hates while I have the chance.

IDK, actually. This sounds ridiculous, I know, but crepes are not something I’ve ever made for myself, that’s part of the reason I picked them.

I hear you saying that words are meaningless to you, but surely you recognize that that’s not the case for everybody. Words are actions, and as someone who doesn’t use them lightly I find that the only people who refuse to apologize when asked are other people who don’t treat words lightly. I don’t apologize for anything I’m not actually sorry for, and if someone won’t apologize to me it shows they don’t think my feelings are equal to theirs.

A good apology has three parts: Recognition of what one did wrong, a sincere effort not to repeat the behavior, and an attempt at restitution for past behavior. I don’t think it’s narcissistic to expect that of people if they want to continue the relationship as equals, since I would do the same if I wronged them.

The most important political issues are education and the environment, because those determine the future.

oh, go on then

Some women need very specific physical stimulation to achieve orgasm, and it can be easier to get there if they’re in charge or on top. Everyone is different.

dances, church, political protests, arts festivals, running clubs, amateur theatre, gallery openings

The Bob Hoskins / John Leguizamo one? I love it.

IDK about “rated higher” but I love Jet Li’s The One

There’s exactly 127 universes in the multiverse. Why? Never discussed. And if one version of you kills another, every other version gets that much stronger. So Jet Li plays both the hero and the villain as well as an assortment of the villain’s victims. Jason Statham is in it too, as the hotheaded junior partner multiverse cop out to bring the villain down.

Weird guns! Weird tech! A prison universe! Super powered martial arts! A climactic fight in a foundry where you can tell the hero from the villain by the color of their shirt! Man I love this movie!

Please don’t cold approach women at all.

When asking an open-ended question on the Internet, OP should put their own response as a comment, not in the post body, so people can judge it separately from the question and it’s not elevated above other responses.

That’s it. That’s my hot take.

One homicide might be an accident, once someone’s over a dozen I wouldn’t want them in my house.

Don’t confuse dialectal differences with bad grammar, please.

Relatedly, it really bugs me out when I’m watching English-language media from outside North America and someone says “what are we meant to do” in a situation where I would say “what are we supposed to do”. Like, a lot. Best I can figure, it implies to me a sort of outside intention driving one’s actions, as opposed to the mere regard implied by “supposed”, and my anti-authoritarian ass rankles at that.

Anyone else have feelings about this one?
