This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

The interesting thing is that it's not unheard of for Japanese people in Japan to use it about themselves in a sort of "taking it back"-way, but of course the targets of the slur, at least today, are usually Japanese-Americans or Japanese people in other western countries. Does that make those Japanese people racist against Japanese people? Racism is complicated once you depart from the standard American perspective.

That's kind of weird, given that they call the country "Nippon" and not "Japan."


"Hapa." Remember the guy who made RLC and Electronic Tigers was called "Hapajap," and once referred to Obama as a "Hapablack?"

Hey now Dune went batshit bonkers while Frank Herbert was still alive.


If he had died after the first book and his son had continued as the series did. People would have accused him of turning the whole franchise on its head and being completely out of contact with the original vision.

I don't see how that's weird at all, considering it's based on a slur invented by Americans.

As dumb as "Trump suddenly improved the economy in just a month!" is, I imagine the economy being "okay" or at least being spun as "okay" may indeed help in the midterms.

EDIT: Also the "wave" looks more like celery dipped in ranch sauce.

The take appears to be "Meryl Streep is an actress, so she is complicit in Harvey Weinstein's abuses, which I am going to assume were pedophilia because, as noted wife-beater Mike Lester, that's the only kind of sexual abuse I can imagine anyone caring about"

I wanna know where they're getting these stats from, since California is a far cry from 47th in every list I've seen. Of course, "education" is also a broad term, and California does much better in higher education than K-12. Even when specifically searching for 47th, I can't find something like Heritage or whatever biased stat bullshitter whose rear end he pulled it from.

The debt thing is true, but this is just Ramirez twisting stats to match his point. As a percentage of GDP, California is well below the average.

I read Dune recently and loved it but couldn't tell you a single thing I liked about it, it was weird. The book managed to staple together a bunch of things I didn't like and turn it into something I did

Then I got halfway through Dune Messiah which didn't have whatever witchcraft made the first one work so I stopped reading

CassandraSupreme posted:

IIRC, after Rose McGowan came out about Weinstein, Streep said she didn't see any bad behavior on his part. Which then morphed to "she didn't know" which then shifted to "why are you calling me out for supporting this guy, with who I've barely interacted."
It wasn't so much a defense of HW, but it was unnecessary cover for him.

Basically assuming the best case scenario where she really didn't interact with him much and he was on his best behavior around her and she never heard rumors about him, she still probably should have remained silent since she had no direct knowledge/input regarding the situation.

That's relative. It was batshit in the same way that Freddy VS Jason was and then they went to space but Dune was already in space so it just turned into an inverted candy cane of lunacy that travelled through time in the yellow submarine.
