Our planned activity this weekend is to clean out the garage. Our kids already hate us so might as well put all that angst to work.

Exactly.

I see a lot of people bashing the new Iron Fist show because the main character is white and he learns martial arts. (cultural appropriation!) Yet I have a strong feeling if the lead was asian these same people would be complaining that casting an asian that is a martial arts expert they'd be crying that the show was being stereotypical.

I heard the story sucks and the action sucks. Guess even Netflix/Marvel gets it wrong sometimes.

Yeah there is that too. I saw a clip of one of the fight scenes and it was bad. Just so very bad. I'll probably still watch it though and hope the Punisher show does a better job.

Every non-racist knows that only Asians know martial arts.

I'm 37 years old and I know for a fact there are no naked pictures of me anywhere, nor any pictures of me engaged in any sex acts...know why? Never had a camera around me while I've been naked.

If any of these came from "hidden" cameras, like in female showers or something, that would be one thing...but that doesn't appear to be the case.

We used to share nudes on PC at one time, before some asshats started getting creepy and fucked it up for the rest of us. I'm sure CNN would also find that repugnant.

Pretty silly, Thondalar.
