Using the word "refused" assigns negative intent to the kid. And maybe the kid did refuse("I don't like those toys"), but I find that unlikely it they started playing with them at daycare. Maybe there are toys at home they prefer. Maybe, as others have stated, its more of an environment thing. Most kids, even when they start to be conversational, lack the vocabulary to fully express themselves. They learn to say what they don't like earlier than saying what they do like, and will often use black/white terminology even when the feeling is more nuanced.

As a (soon to be) dad who doesn't want any more pets, it's not cause I don't like animals. I love animals... maybe too much, cause I just don't know how many more I can bury.

Maybe I need to get a pet that will outlive me. Something cuddly with a lifespan of like 60-80 years

I suppose you're right there - I was conflating Starring with Leading, which is different. He has a lot of starring roles, but only a few leading roles.

But its not like leading roles are the hallmarks of success, either. There are plenty of successful and iconic supporting/character actors out there who are absolutely successes and have raving fans. Its not a mark against his talent.

He was great in that as well. I didn't include it because he wasn't in the ads for the movie, and so "we" weren't sold a seat based on his participation, but good callout.

Late reply, but man I wish I had that skill. People have given me tips and tricks, I've watched YouTube videos, people have coached me through it on the grill and in the kitchen - without a meat thermometer, I can't cook poultry to dave my life. Its always either raw or bone dry. But, with the Meater... flawless every time

Its less about the war and more about journalism and the limits of the human capacity for violence over time. IMO excellent film, amazing performance from Kirsten Dunst

I mean... he's had plenty of starring roles, and his acting has won him both awards and acclaim. Requiem for a Dream, Mr. Nobody, Dallas Buyers Club, House of Gucci, The Little Things - and that's not including his clunkers. He's still an in-demand actor with 30 years of work behind him. Not everyone makes a career that good in Hollywood.

I think he's an asshole. But he's a talented asshole.

If memory serves, Wisconsin also didn't care until there was copper discovered in the UP, and then they tried to lay claim - but by that point the Yoopers had been Michiganders for like 70ish years, and Wisconsin's claim was immediately shot down.

Human beings are sexually dimorphic, but most of the advantages or disadvantages are negligible or can be overcome with training, so it makes little difference. It makes even less difference in middle and high school aged children, since everyone is at (somewhat) different points developmentally anyway.

I also received a Meater as a gift - but I use it for basically any meat that goes in the oven or gets grilled. And I've found myself putting more meats in the oven so I can use it.

The thing is fantastic and has changed my life - especially when it comes to poultry

Fun fact: the studio made the movie dogshit, too. Watch the trailer for it - they filmed a bunch of scenes from the book, including the original ending, that never made it to theaters but still ended up in the trailer.
