If people want to harass them I’m comfortable with that. No tolerance for intolerance.
There’s a Grand Canyon between cancel culture and a society policing itself and we’ve stopped doing enough of the latter

Thanks for posting. I’ve only been a few times as I have greatly reduced my drinking but they’re within walking distance and I had decent experiences. May have to find an excuse to pop in

Not even a criticism, it’s truly a feature of the film. I love when movies really use the music and Garden State does a few times really well

It’s weird because I think Zach is almost anti-establishment/anti-pretense in this but because his family and town is relatively wealthy that people read the movie as pretentious instead of the environment/characters?

I see this a lot. People come up with an observation that isn’t wrong but people pretend it’s a complete eye opener and all media must now be assessed though that (one) lens so things are still inaccurate (lol) but consistent to a certain angle/take
Makes me think a bit of how Malcolm Gladwell is mostly fluff on top of common sense but the fluff is what really engages readers

There’s a valid criticism here, I think it’s overblown on Reddit though.

Well, Dune just did that

Reply to comment by drtywater in Report: NWSL set to expand with three new teams in Boston, Utah, San Francisco Bay Area by MrAwes0m3
Yeah, I guess I didn’t even realize (or remwmber) that the NWSL even left Boston so I have this question as well. There’s very little mechanism for smaller sports leagues to starve out a niche and even men’s leagues that aren’t the big four have hardly grown. Women’s leagues have an extra challenge and the big leagues aren’t exactly willing to share the market. (I could touch on the whole “NFL only invests in MLS and to keep it small” but that’s a deep wormhole)

Reply to comment by EDMElevatorguy in Adam Sandler Movies by TomDuBois2002
He’s a very capable actor. The few roles where he really locks into the performance instead of playing “Adam Sandler” always impress me and I wish we’d have gotten more of Adam Sandler, serious actor. I understand that’s not necessarily his thing and he kinda just wants to make money instead of art. It is what it is and he has every right.

Reply to Herbal Supplement Stores? by GoGatorsMashedTaters
This is not an answer but a backup answer. Whole Foods will likely have something acceptable but I would explore local/specialist options first, especially since you mention fresh. I know the Whole Body aisles have a lot of supplements and herbs but I’m not sure about fresh.

Sure but if you believe at all in soul mates or divorce rates you can see that not “settling” for a partner is a fine personal choice. Sure she could’ve just found some/any husband

That’s always the issue. The people are all of us, and that recognition doesn’t click for many of these malfunctioning brains
