    Politics what exactly is the significance of the n word

    A black woman attends to my dad, a jewish friend of mine sometimes asks me how my dad's schvartze is doing (maybe she's actually using the German schwarz, but I don't think so). I don't know if she's being racist or not? Kinda reminds me of the less-quoted black joke in Blazing Saddles when...

    Politics what exactly is the significance of the n word

    I was fixin to say, immigrants and faggots have gotten short shrift in this thread. It is a good song, though. Even quotes Shakespeare. Let's not forget the John Lennon song Woman is the ****** of the World. And the lyrics of Marilyn Manson's Irresponsible Hate Anthem (from the genius.com...

    She was excellent and perfect for the role. That version was probably the most visually pleasing of the three. The 2015 version starring Michael Fassbender felt the most realistic (for lack of a better term) in terms of battle scenes and depictions of the more brutal scenes in the film, but...

    I watched three different adaptations of MacBeth last weekend. All were excellent, though I had my quibbles with all of them. I think I enjoyed the 1971 version directed by Roman Polanski the best. Without commenting on his subsequent sexual scandal and legal troubles, I will say that it had...

    Off-Topic "The North Carolina Southern accent is disappearing"

    I did a backpacking tour of Europe one summer / Fall semester when I was in college, went all over the place, including Morocco. Can't tell you how many locals in pretty much every country I visited thought I was Australian due to my thick southern accent...

    Not sure if this is a southern accent thing, but we still call Wilson "Wiltson" in Wilson. As far as certified southernisms, I still like to throw in a "fixin to" whenever I get a chance...

    Politics U.S. destroys Venezuelan vessels | Secret notice of “armed conflict” with some cartels

    It's difficult for most people to favorably quantify and weigh these other harms as opposed to the manifest daily and ubiquitous harms deliberately and systematically (and, IMO, certainly at some level, diabolically) foisted upon that cadre of citizenry who choose to use drugs by those who...

    Politics U.S. destroys Venezuelan vessels | Secret notice of “armed conflict” with some cartels

    Good lord, according to those numbers, opioids and cocaine accounted for 97.4% of all overdose deaths in 2023. I mean, I figured those two would account for the lion's share of OD's, but I didn't think it would be anywhere that high. On a more comforting note, I guess this means that all other...
