Was Lena Dunham the one who said she wanted to get pregnant so she could have an abortion to demonstrate her pro-choice convictions or is that somebody else?

I don't know if she said that but it wouldn't surprise me. She also bragged about molesting her sister in a book she wrote. She's just an all around garbage person.

For some reason X/Y didn't grab me and I'd say they're my last favorite of the games outside of Gen 1.

Ultra Moon however is gaming nirvana, holy poo poo it's good and filled with great old mons in addition to cool new ones and the camera is legit amazing.

I forgot how strong :psyduck: is, even before evolving. Between him and the laughably OP Cutiefly I hardly ever use anyone else

I went to a local game shop and the only ones they had in stock were X/Y and also Alpha Sapphire which I already own and played. I'll probably grab Ultra Sun or Moon at some point down the line.

To be fair she was 7 at the time. I don’t think a 7-year old can really be guilty of child abuse.

She continued the abuse well into her teen years, iirc, talking about when she was 13 or so she would bribe her little sister with cookies to make out

I’m looking for examples of slow motion pass-bys in films (ie: two people walking past each other and staring each other down). I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time googling and come up with very little to show for it. For the record, the TV Tropes page is mostly unhelpful — almost none of their live action examples are actually two people walking past each other.

However, it did lead to by far the best clip I’ve found so far: the end of Shaolin Soccer, right after the banana peel slip at around 0:35

Any ideas for films to look at for better examples?

That happened midway through filming. He was probably arguing with the rest of Queens about how the movie should portray them and Freddie.

I love that those douchebags think anyone ever gave a poo poo about Queen because of them or that people want to see a movie about anyone from the band other than Freddie Mercury. The only reason I can even name any single other member of the band is because he's been peddling over priced guitars and poo poo with his name on them for the last few decades.

I remember reading it was around when me too started, and there was some ... hostility directed at him, most importantly from Rami Malek and he was all "how dare all of you, now if you'll excuse me I have urgent business to attend to in a country without an extradition treaty for a while", but that mighta just been speculation

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

my house has been without a cat for almost 6 months, which is far too long to go without furry friends so i went out and adopted some very cool cats:



the larger one is Amsterdam and the smaller one is Captain Ahab (the lady at the shelter told me he got his name because when he came in his leg was badly injured and they thought they were going to have to amputate. luckily, he healed very well and still has all his legs.

Ahab took to house life very quickly and is just the friendliest little thing, very cute and charming befitting a young cat. Amsterdam on the other hand went straight from the carrier i brought him home in to hiding behind the water heater. I was kinda worried that he was too stressed out, but as you can see here, the stress evaporated pretty quickly:
