    - exactly. the park should have a solution and some sort of towel or coverage for the limb -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 21, 12:57
The Taker/Brock brawl on Raw was pretty great, and there was a good women's match! -- nm - Tim Jul 21, 12:31 8

- never heard of either of them -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 13:00 1
  - St. Vincent is a great buzzed about artist/band. Check out the Actor album - con_carne Jul 21, 13:18
- Her name means face in Spanish. That's just weird. -- nm - con_carne Jul 21, 12:52 1
  - It means 'sweetheart' in Italian. I always liked the name. - Diva Jul 21, 12:55
- I recognize her from the Taylor Swift video but had no idea what she's from. -- nm - Tim Jul 21, 12:43 5
  - so far she's not *from* much aside from the women she dates. However she will be in the upcoming 'Paper Towns', 'Pan' and 'Suicide Squad'. -- nm* - Diva Jul 21, 12:46 4
    - to be fair, she did have her own success modeling in the past handful of years, then she added some singing and the acting. -- nm - b. Jul 21, 12:49 3
      - I was only referring to the acting stuff. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 12:52 1

    - yeah, me too. -- nm - Andie Jul 21, 12:38
    - yup. plus Sandler, James, Tyrion et al -- nm* - Beaker Jul 21, 12:08 3
      - Im neither a Sandler or James fan but that video game stuff - eag Jul 21, 12:11 2
        
        It should be in my wheelhouse, but the commercials just leave me cold. Not like King of Kong which gave me the nerd vapors. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 21, 12:36 1
        
        this. I think it's a cute idea but the ads look awful and I have no desire to see Sandler or James in anything. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 12:41
  - I *saw* that. Delightful. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 12:07
Someone went to reddit's explain to me live I'm five to ask what the problem is responding to 'Black Lives Matter' with 'All Lives Matter' - ty97 Jul 21, 12:00 35
- I hjave not seen Nightcrawler yet, so I had to stop reading. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 12:20 6
  - It's not a meaningful spoiler or I would have warned. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 12:25 1
    - I hate spoilers, but do not blame you. -- nm* - Spawn Jul 21, 12:25
  - It's excellent. -- nm - mud Jul 21, 12:21 3
    - I used to have a list of books I owuld one day read. It has been replaced with a movie/tv show list. It is on there. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 12:25 2
      - you know it's not about Kurt Wagner right? -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 12:35 1
        
        heh -- nm - mud Jul 21, 12:42
- That's fantastic. I also like this comic. -- (link) - Tim Jul 21, 12:13
- Yeah, I'm going to use that explanation with a few friends. It's tough to argue with the logic. -- nm - Inigo Jul 21, 12:13
- DQ for not actually explaining it as if the OP was 5. -- nm - Qale Jul 21, 12:10 1
  - Do you remember when Explain Like I'm Five actually explained things as if OP was 5? Pepperidge Farm Remembers! - con_carne Jul 21, 12:21
- I kinda call BS on that. For one, even with the implicit "too" - the suggestion is, obvie, that white people don't think black lives matter. - Jim Jul 21, 12:08 16
  - The implication is that society overall does not value black lives (on average) equally to white lives. - ty97 Jul 21, 12:10 15
    - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 12:25
    - The Renee Russo/Nightcrawler illustration calls out white people on this specifically -- nm - con_carne Jul 21, 12:12 13
      - Exactly. It seems very much targeted at white people. And what I see in my local headlines...every, single day...I don't think the problem is - Jim Jul 21, 12:16 4
        
        I don't think you quite get the purpose of the movement. - b. Jul 21, 12:30 1
        
        I get what the original purpose of the movement was. I'm suggesting that it's not necessarily the same purpose now. - Jim Jul 21, 12:40
        
        You need to look at things like how many murders of black people get solved vs white people, or how many black people are shot by police vs white - Roger More Jul 21, 12:25 1
        
        nevermind -- nm* - Jim Jul 21, 12:41
      - Are we saying this isn't a facet of the news? How often has the missing pretty white girl been the story of the week? -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 12:13 7
        
        Um, huh? Have you seen Nightcrawler? - con_carne Jul 21, 12:18 3
        
        Yes, I saw it at TIFF last year. My question to you is "why do you think that line was in the movie" - ty97 Jul 21, 12:19 2
        
        Well I saw it out of a Redbox this year and I still don't see what that movie has to do with missing white girls -- nm - con_carne Jul 21, 12:23 1
        
        The point of the line in the move was about skew in 'victims' that are interesting to news producers - ty97 Jul 21, 12:24
        
        did someone say missing white girl?! -- nm - Nancy Grace Jul 21, 12:15 2
        
        *elbows Nancy out of the way* -- nm - John Walsh Jul 21, 12:19
        
        Female Donald Trump! -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 12:16
- I had never seen that particular subreddit before. very interesting -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 12:06 2
  - I believe it's one of the "default" subs -- (edited) - con_carne Jul 21, 12:09
  - ELI5 is one of the best ones. -- nm - Tim Jul 21, 12:07
- Huh. Never thought of the implicit "too". -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 12:05 2
  - that's how I've always interpreted it. esp. as mentioned re: news coverage, where it can be particularly striking. that said, it started after - b. Jul 21, 12:14
  - I hand't really either, though it was obvious that the 'only' wasn't implied so I never got why people took issue with 'Black Lives Matter' -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 12:11
- was it Stephen A Smith? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 12:05
WAY ahead of schedule, Adam Wainwright actually pitched the bulk of a game last night. -- (link) - Jim Jul 21, 11:59
Ill tell you one thing a Donald Trump presidency would do - eag Jul 21, 11:59
I wouldn't be able to handle working on the Trump campaign. I've worked for employers who can't see reality, and it's just not worth the pain. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 11:57 2
- You were wrong though. ST came out great! -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 11:59 1
  - Yeah, I suppose being self-employed would just be more of the same. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 11:59
When your sister is the receptionist... -- (link) - Shaun Jul 21, 11:56
ST no longer goes sideways when I turn my phone. Is that new or did it never do that and I am imaging it did? -- nm - redmond Jul 21, 11:52 8
- just worked for me -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Jul 21, 11:55
- does anything on your phone switch? -- nm - Andie Jul 21, 11:55 2
  - aaah facebook doesnt either. I must have turned it off somehow. -- nm - redmond Jul 21, 11:56 1
    - Aaah thx for the tips. must have bumped it off when I turned on bluetooth -- nm - redmond Jul 21, 11:57
- Websites don't tend to be able to control that. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 11:55
- did you turn off screen rotation on your phone? -- nm - decline Jul 21, 11:53 1
  - Yep that was it -- nm - redmond Jul 21, 11:58
- Hmm, it did for me the last time I tried, probably this morning. -- nm - mara Jul 21, 11:53
When two tribes go to war, A point is all you can score. -- nm - Qale Jul 21, 11:47
