If you start 'Die Hard' at 9:57:10 on New Year's Eve, Hans Gruber will reach the ground floor of Nakatomi Plaza at exactly midnight to ring in the new year.

Why is it that British actors make such great German villains ? That was beautifully done by Alan Rickman. Do you know, I don't think he moved his bottom lip at all in that film. Villains also often get the best lines.

What wasn't done beautifully by Rickman?

Good point. I can't think of anything. Apparently a lovely bloke too.

You know how there's been quite a bit of talk about connecting gay people with pedophilia on the gay thread? I think I have a new least favourite BreadTuber now. And, no, it's not Xanderhal.

Relevant discussion starts a bit over halfway in.




And to think that I once thought Renegade Cut was the worst for having shit takes on Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac, Nietzsche, and Thanos, not to mention living up to the stereotype of the perpetually triggered snowflake.

And Riley's argument is utter shit: that if you exercise your fetish in public, even on the level of wearing sandals or even (Jah forbid) going barefoot in public if you have a partner who likes seeing your feet, the public includes children, therefore, you're a pedophile. And she apparently admitted she was arguing in bad faith because she didn't expect Doe to. Fucking Hell, I'm almost inclined to apologise to Huggy Bear, since at least he argues in good faith, and that when he talks shit about LGBT people and pedophilia, he bases his bullshit on actual events, even if he does fundamentally blow their actual importance out of proportion and doesn't take into account the fact that what the LGBT community might tolerated a bit less than half a century ago does not necessarily represent what they'd put up with now. Almost.

To make it worse, for someone who might not see what the problem with saying one's fetish is tantamount to pedophilia, later on, Doe talks about its [Note: "It" is apparently Doe's preferred pronoun for whatever reason] actual experience being sexually trafficked as a child and Riley responds that that, somehow, that isn't a sexual act.

You know what, it's been a while since I brought out Jesse Custer to help a brother out:


And to think that I actually liked her video about how she got harassed by Stonetoss.

Because it doesn't require much acting - villainy has been baked into the British cake for so long, it's become second nature.

Yair. The phrase "Happy Meal" comes to mind

Going out on a limb here. You wouldn't happen to be Irish by any chance?

Had a hard day working on the computer and getting my latest video finished, but I eventually found out what the problem was and got an updated ram for my trouble so it wasn't a complete waste.
