If you need to B*tch about something <strong>other than originaltrilogy.com</strong>... This is the place

Rest assured, it’s better. Although I may also be biased, not because my hair particularly looks like that, but because I also sport (and prefer on others) a completely natural style. Mines quite curly though. Looks quite suave and professional when it’s short (it’s not the “bunched up” kind of curl, when short it just looks wavy), while when longer it has more of a Frodo Baggins look. So I go in cycles where I let it it grow out and have the frodo look for a while because it actually does look quite good (I’m not somebody that likes to brag on myself, but I will admit that I have really good hair according to women and it’s very thick and according to my family history I’m likely to have it until the day I die as thick hair runs in the family and baldness does not) then cut it off again and go back to the “suave” look. (not the shampoo, the word. Lol)

My hair isn’t curly and not all that thick, but it hasn’t receded at all and there aren’t any bald men in my family history on either my mom or dad’s side, so I lucked out there.

I truly despise this style of haircut:

It’s just so uneven and ugly, and what’s even worse is that 90 percent of boys at my school have it.

This is a trend that’s picked up in just the past 4-5 years or so and it’s awful. I’m disheartened to hear 90% of your local population has succumbed to it. I don’t even know where it came from.

For reference, this is what people’s hair looked like at my school:

I’m not sure that’s any better, honestly.

That’s what my hair has looked like for the last 20 years, so I’m kind of biased, but that is a completely natural hairstyle.

A really pretty girl and me are starting to talk more. I might try to go on a date with her this weekend. I’m a pretty socially anxious person so this is encouraging.

I have a crush on this one chick, and we’ve become rather close, but I lack the self confidence to ask her out, which is annoying. It’ll probably not amount to anything, which is a little disappointing.

If you don’t ask her then it definitely won’t amount to anything.

False Equivalence™

I think that the far-left and far-right are both despicable and I think that both are a threat to American freedoms. Maybe in different ways, but both are despicable and threatening enough that I don’t prefer either.

Can you give a common example of something you consider to be “far left” and “a threat to American freedoms”? I ask because I consider myself pretty far to the left, and am not sure who I am threatening.

You can’t be that far left. He’s talking about those who would seek to impose Leftist policies on others, as Marx advocated.

I actually do think I’m pretty far to the left, by today’s standards. For example, people today seem to think that Obamacare is way left, but to me it seems quite centrist because it still retains a for-profit system at its base. Single payer would be much further to the left, and that’s what I believe would be better.

I agree.

Such as…? Who are these people and what are they advocating here in the U.S.?

I don’t think MFM is talking about the libertarian left, but rather the authoritarian left. The type of people who advocate for hate speech laws, for example.

Right.

You can’t be that far left. He’s talking about those who would seek to impose Leftist policies on others, as Marx advocated. There are Leftist ideas that inhibit freedom. Anarchy is extreme Left, but how much freedom is there when there is no law? Don’t be too self-righteous.

Exactly, this is the type of stuff I’m talking about, as well as the not uncommon desire amongst left-wingers extremists who oppose freedom of speech, which others mentioned earlier.

Oh! An anti-Trump protester did something bad? Well, I guess this means I was all wrong about Trump and he is the greatest President we’ve ever had.

not.

I didn’t say that, and by the way it was a group of 100 Trump protesters. I just thought it was a good reminder that both the far-left and the far-right are every bit as despicable as they claim each other are.

Interesting. Did they specify exactly what each of the copies were? Because when I went to their film storage facility years ago, they only had one copyright deposit print of each film.

I don’t remember and I can’t find the email. Maybe they had two copies of Empire and Jedi and only one Star Wars. Either way they told me that they had at least one original copy of each and two copies of two of them.

If 4 episodes a day isn’t enough for you, how many are you planning to watch in a single sitting?

I watched 4 in one sitting, then I had to eat and do a few other things, and then sat down to watch 3 more.

Sounds reasonable. I can’t watch more than 4 episodes of anything in one sitting.

When you say “sounds reasonable” you’re supposed to mean that it doesn’t.

Highly illogical.
