Isn't a cuck chair just any chair that a cuck sits in

Or is it a chair that never gets sat on, the chair itself is cucked

how many chairs could a chair cuck cuck if a chair cuck could cuck chairs

Do you spend a lot of time imagining Xavier getting cucked

given that he spends all his time sitting in a chair i feel like he really brings that one on himself

this was why x men first class went to such great lengths to establish that professor x does not need a chair and also that he has a girlfriend

In Sonic 2 his wife (Tika Sumpter) routinely gets the hots for Knuckles, including a really odd joke where she ponders if he lives up to his name. So... yep, it follows the pattern.

is it just my imagination or did kids media back when we were kids at least attempt to use subtlety and double entendres for sex jokes instead of just openly using language that cant possibly be interpreted any other way

My hot take is that the Watchmen movie was better than the book because the book's ending was simply that weird

no ill die with you on that hill the psychic squid requires like a dozen pages of completely unrelated worldbuilding nonsense while false flagging a rogue doctor manhattan attack makes better use of doctor manhattans arc and is just a better fit for the setting in general given that hes the only thing in it that isnt just our world but darker and edgier

so actually watching the fourth season of true detective and whats really bugging me about this supposedly being the woke season is that the police brutality is actually significantly more meanspirited and sadistic than the first season yet its presented as a logical and even reasonable reaction to evil and not as a personal failing that only makes further legitimate criminal investigation that much more difficult

its seriously really goddamn weird that some of the most blatant psycho copaganda ive seen this side of elliot stabler in law and order svu is presumed to have good politics because it has some token nods to native and environmental issues that have gently caress all to do with anything thats actually important to the story

i also want to note that the "nics just jealous this season had better ratings than his" is a really weaselly factoid because the first season of true detective literally predates the existence of max as a service by several years like no poo poo the fourth season has better numbers compared to when the business model was we dont give a poo poo whether anyone actually watches our shows as long as theyre talking about them

thank goodness those dark days of corporate nonsense are behind us now if youll excuse me im going to take a nice long sip of coffee before reading up on the current state of coyote vs acme a movie which surely has a distributor by now thanks to all the public interest

wtf so the ending of this show is literally terrorists murdered a bunch of scientists not for any reasons having to do with their actual political beliefs but as a form of mob justice and the corporation is helping to cover it up because theyre scared theyll get in trouble for lying to the epa about pollution emissions

i dont think i could have made up an ending this stupid if i was making a deliberate effort

If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.


We have started watching the Halo show, season 1. I never actually played the games, but they're so beloved and iconic that I was excited to see the story. I did a bit of googling to see how closely the show follows the plot from the games and the first like 100 reviews I found were people angry that Master Chief takes his helmet off. I was like "lol, fanboys gonna hate".

But actually what those articles should be saying is that Master Chief never puts his helmet on because it's just far too important to get a closeup of him experiencing emotions.

I'm still kinda interested but god drat, stop pouting and shoot something already.

anyway in other some guy itt is watching max posts the latest episode of curb your enthusiasm is hilariously accidentally counterintuitively socialist in that the premise is that larrys golf club sucks and noone can really do anything about it because the landlord is too much of a cheapskate to offer all day breakfast

I think pushing around a full size grocery cart when you only want 2-3 small things is kind of dumb. I don't feel particularly manly doing that at stores that don't have smaller carts or baskets available.

the real problem with gigantic sized carts is theyre being so big you cant even pass other people in the aisle

smdh at how certain grocery stores force us to manspread against our will with overly large carts

sortof sokka isnt sexist anymore because hes a sympathetic character but pakkus still sexist because hes an unsympathetic character

if your response to this is wait if the sympathetic characters dont have any flaws in netflix avatar arent they super boring then yes you have figured out why the netflix version of avatar is bad

Massive, middlebrow, book of the month hardbacks like Ragtime.

You can feel like Gore Vidal at book club by observing that racism… is bad.

e: Gore Videl’s historical fiction novels are like crack cocaine to grad school educated liberals, you have to be careful doling them out.
