Subtle they are not, poorly acted they are.

I kinda agree with this, every "Character" is a cookie cutout. "strong woman" = same stoic face and tone, "tough/bad guy" = same expressions, tone and lines. There's no one that stands out at all.

Some of the J-horror flicks were good though.

But I thought going woke meant going broke?

Yeah, well, 1 or 2 successful movies out of a mountain of dumpster fires isn't saying much.

One movie I'm really looking forward to so far is "The Creator" Trailer looked great.

What happens when the water is released and these tests show no difference in the before & after? Wouldn't that prove that releasing this water is totally safe?

Wouldn't know that if you didn't test right? Sooo they plan to test. As they should

LOL, wow a lot of guys like to take shots at women's sports articles.

NZ wasn't really the best choice, cold weather & the Super Rugby event. But, I'm looking forward to another USA vs Japan match.

Andor was actually the best Star Wars series , The Mandalorian was decent but felt like a series of side quests from and old RPG. Was looing forward to Andor because Rouge One is probably the only one of the "new" Star Wars movies that was any good.

Not a huge soccer fan but man, if World cup isn't fun to watch. Men's and Women's. Being here I do like the USA vs Japan rivalry.

Extraction 2 was just a fun to watch action flick.

Nothing else on this list (tv wise) seems worth my time tho.

FF7 and 10 are the only ones I put any hours into. The FF7 remake was free on Playstation Plus and was pretty fun too. Hope it's good but actually don't see myself having the time to put into it now, cause I have (ew) adult responsibilities.

Yep cause that's how the military and nuclear weapons work, just a big red flashy button on the ship. Just like the cartoons

Posted in: High school student excluded from graduation ceremony for cornrow hairstyle See in context

Wow, so many people going off the rails.

This is NOT racism, been living black in Japan for 16 years. So you guys must be saying that if a Japanese student showed up with a samurai cut or a geisha hairstyle they'd be good to go? Please. As I stated above, ask the school, show them a picture and tell them why you'd like to wear that style at graduation. If they say no, what, sit through the 2-3hr ceremony and NEVER have to worry about again. His hair was fine before the cornrows, not touching his ears, collar or covering his eyes.

And let's say they let him join, then all the other students start to wonder, "Well why couldn't I XXXX? It's not fair" now there's resentment and another mess.

Guess what, men in the US military can't have cornrows either, must be Racist

Antiquesaving,

What are you going off on me for? Maybe run it by the teachers before is all I said. You yourself have NO DETAILS about what happened, the student, or even the school. I'm no japanophile by any means, maybe I'm just not the type to jump into a rage with minimal info.

"The response could have been different had there been prior consultation," an education board official said,

Hate to say it, but they're right, he had been at that school for three years. Wrong time to spring something new on them. My kids are Blackanese and my son's hair is like the "before" picture from the link someone posted above. He's in elementary school now so there's no problem. He still has another year in elementary so I'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Around my area it seems a few junior high schools are relaxing their rules, seen a few "unique" hair cuts on boys, girls in boys uniforms.

Kinda simple tho isn't it? Especially if you plan to have kids, who's gonna be the one supporting the family, whose social health insurance will you be on?

I can really see the point for women who own their own business or companies.

I'm a Cowboys fan (yeah, I know) but if it were the Bengals vs Eagles I'd go Bengals.

But it's the chiefs, so I hope the Eagles fly past them.

When companies do things like this, it's the gamers that get a bad deal. As far as Call of Duty, Sony has done it's fair share of exclusivity for like the past 5 years.

However, I'm getting to the age that I wont be able to keep up with these kids ramped up on Cheetos & energy drinks for much longer. This might be my last COD.
