No red flags here. Looks good.

Sure, it's "ok" in that I don't think you should go to jail for it.

But you need to be "ok" with the consequences. Like how many people would be turned off by your language and would not want to associate with you. Who would judge you as a high-drama person to avoid (this is where I am personally, given your description of using a slur to try to bait someone into trouble). And people like school administrators who would remove you for breaking their specific rules on speech (or mods on a forum). And the employer who would fire you for using what is generally seen as unprofessional language.

Be very skeptical of any "rules" of first dates. This one is definitely bunk.

Lots of people don't drink.

Lots of people don't like bars.

Lots of people think dinner/drinks where there is nothing to do but chat is an awful first date. (Hello, this one is me 100%).

Lots of people are conscientious of drinking on a first date with a person they don't know as a safety measure. (Hello, me again).

Throw in religious/cultural/medical needs on drinking and this "rule" falls apart even faster.

Depends on context of the conversation. Could mean something like City Museum in St. Louis, Missouri or it could mean a sex thing.

Curious if anyone on here has had zero negative interactions. I don't know if that's possible.

If any negative interactions stresses you out, OP, a forum-style community like this might not be for you. Or maybe you would be happier on an instance that disables downvotes; there are a few of them out there.

His math and logic works are a good read. The Game of Logic (1886) for one.

Ah, well I disagree with that too. I don't care for most billboard method actors, not Joaquin Phoenix, not Jared Leto, not Hillary Swank, not even Daniel Day Lewis. Actors I am not impressed by for the amount of accolades they get are highly correlated with actors who utilize the more intense end of method acting, even before I know anything about them outside the specific role.

I've also seen where I generally like an actor but dislike a specific role when they use method acting and normally don't e.g. Charlize Theron.

But it's a personal opinion, isn't it? There's no objectively "good" actor without clear criterion for definition of "good".

Off screen behavior can absolutely be related to the more extreme ends of method acting. Some method actors, not all, literally stay in character after the camera stops. I am being very careful to not cast my opinion on all method actors because there is a spectrum.

And I don't fully subscribe to separating art form the artist If they're alive and still being intolerable human beings, I think it is correct to incorporate that into overall valuation of their skill as an artist. The creative process is as much a part of the art as the end piece is.

Lol, you and I are going to have to agree to disagree on that one. IMO, Leto is the poster boy for a particular strain of method acting that comes across cringe on screen and creates an unpleasant work environment off camera.

“In this climate, you’d get in more trouble for saying something bad about Donald Trump on the air,” the exec noted.

Yep. Anonymous allegations, no criminal or civil charges, all known before studios decided to put him in two high profile movies = he's backed by Hollywood power and will cruise through this just fine.

Sexual assault allegations aside, I'm baffled why he gets high profile jobs. He is not a good actor but he is an unpleasant coworker. He has nothing good going for him.

Pretty sure the real answer is Alice; the gays took over the fandom because Kristen Stewart. So Christians and Muslims should defer to ... Wiccans?
