It's a complex issue, but think of it like backwards fundamentalist Christians going ballistic over women (especially their daughters) wearing anything more revealing than a sweater. That kind of familial coercion is couched in religious terms and springs from religious values, but is not, strictly speaking, fundamental (ha) to the religion itself.

Nah, just fuck theocracies.

Funnily enough, the European standard goes up to armor ratings that would protect against 3 point blank shots from 14.5×114mm rounds (what this thing shoots), but I couldn’t find a picture of any armor with that rating, and it would likely break every bone in your torso even if the bullet doesn’t penetrate.

"Hans, the bullet didn't penetrate your armor!"

Hans: [is soup]

Funniest thing I've ever seen, I feel bad for anyone who misses this!

Yeah, it's like... y'know, even at its most cynical, this is very much a welcome entry of positive trans visibility in mass media. "It was just an excuse to go on vacation", well, alright? Good for Will Ferrell, I guess? If it ends up being a good film, what does that matter?

It's okay to celebrate the small victories. Sometimes it's what helps you carry on to the big ones.

I'd like to stop a moment and appreciate the name "Weird Al Jazeera"

There is nobility in the resistance. We don't say "LOL Warsaw Uprising was lame because they lost". We lionize it, because men and women took it into their own hands to defend themselves against impossible odds. Likewise we should see the Inca and Neo-Inca.

Fuck the Aztecs though. No sympathy for them, only sympathy for their vassal states and neighbors that got screwed.

What the everloving fuck do you mean it got a second season

Good. It's a bargaining chip.

Yeah, I mean, they're in a tough spot. As much as I would've loved to see him nabbed and flown to the Hague, I understand why Mongolia isn't going to put itself in a major diplomatic and economic crisis just for a pat on the head by Western powers.

It's so bizarre. My models for a successful marriage growing up were my grandparents, and they adored each other. Comfortable enough to tease each other, but I couldn't imagine them ever doing something like using a wedding or an anniversary to make these kinds of weird "Wife bad" jokes.
