It's a great fucking question being disclosed in this really good movie out this summer.

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/07/lulu-wang-director-farewell-welcomes-your-tears/593806/

Indeed, the deeply sincere and personal The Farewell, released in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, has had a profoundly powerful effect on its viewers so far, whether prompting tears or unexpected laughter. Wang based the film, her second feature, on a lie that she and her family told: In 2013, her nai nai (the Mandarin term for paternal grandmothers), was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, but the family chose not to tell hera call that may seem unusual but is actually in keeping with Chinese values of sharing emotional burdens. (This way, Nai Nai doesnt have to carry the weight of knowing about her failing health; the family does it for her.) To ensure that everyone got a chance to say goodbye, they orchestrated a shotgun wedding for Wangs cousin in China, an elaborate cover-up that Wang, who grew up in the United States but remained close to Nai Nai, struggled to accept even as she participated in the deception.

The film depicts these events through the eyes of Wangs avatar, Billi, played by the Crazy Rich Asians scene-stealer Awkwafina. When Billi learns of the plot, shes torn between wanting to tell Nai Naiso her grandmother can get her affairs in orderand wanting to support her parents, aunts, and uncles. Shes distraught, but showing her emotions would invite Nai Nais suspicion.

As for Wangs concerns that her bittersweet family drama would be hated, she neednt have worried: Since its debut at Sundance in January, its been lauded by critics, presented at scores of festivals around the world, and showered with honors, including the Audience Favourite Award at Sundances London fete. That night in downtown L.A., Wang picked up yet another trophythe Sundance Institute Vanguard Award, which has previously been given to indie filmmakers such as Dee Rees, Marielle Heller, and Boots Rileyand announced, to a spirited full house, that the film had landed Chinese distribution, the details of which are still being finalized.

Its been a whirlwind tour for Wang, who is frequently approached by fans affected by her film. Most of the time, they want to share their emotions and life stories, to tell her how much her nai nai reminds them of their own, or how much her family resembles theirs. Its happened at every single screening Ive been to, Daniele Melia, one of the producers of The Farewell, told me. Shes created something that is touching people in such a universal way, considering the story shes telling is as personal a story as any filmmaker has ever told.

Many of Wangs admirers cry when they come up to her, and even now, months into the promo circuit, Wang cries too. Shes surprised by how emotional she still gets. I feel like I could sit down with this person and have a three-hour meal or something to really talk it through, but I dont have that, she said. Its very intense in a very short burst of time.

The source is the fucking federal prosecutor in charge of the Seth Rich case. She also provides all of the evidence that proves it.

No, they have to go thru the process of paying for a permit to sell food, have a health inspector make sure everything is up to code while this guy doesn't have to go thru any of that.

Again, they are free to give up their brick and mortar, and go to the streets if they want. No one is stopping them from doing so.

I don't think business owners who actually attempt to follow the law should be disadvantaged because illegals disregard them.

Business owners are free to grab a parking lot and sell pizzas out of their trucks as well. No one is being disadvantaged.

Elio's Pizza is sold out of a mobile pizza oven in a pickup truck. Eleodoro Lopez found a liquor store that would let him park in its lot and started selling pizza out of it a few months ago. Now he's gaining recognition for selling delicious Neapolitan-style pies for $10 each in Silver Lake.

It really just means that the juvenile is dressing in a sexually provocative way

What about children who simply dress in basic, but form-fitting tank and shorts? Or going to the beach or pool in a bikini or swimsuit ?

If you're at the point of turning in your husband's guns because you fear he might kill you, it's probably time to move out and leave him.

She already did. He tried to kill her for it.

Just because something is the most profitable doesn't mean that it's good quality, much less the best quality.

GDP, stock prices, P/E ratios, etc., are all flawed metrics that don't actually give a good examination of how well a society is functioning .

You can't tell me with a straight face that any pornstar, female or male is attracted to every dude or chick he or she fucks

They're at least comfortable with their scene partner. Do you not know how the mainstream porn industry works?

Each actor gets to have a list of partners who they are willing or unwilling to perform with.

Same thing with prostitutes. They are free to reject any customer who they don't feel comfortable with.

Perhaps the police actually looking for more ways to make it easier is them showing an active interest in wanting to stop sexual assault.

Yes, rape culture is bad, and the police are desperately trying to find ways to fight it.

Thank you for confirming my original point.

The idea that this teaching and training of men to demonize and prey on women just does not exist

And again, that's not what rape culture means when feminists and normal society use that term.

Culture is defined as a way of life for a society. How are ways of life preserved? Through tradition and training.

And men have traditionally treated women like rape objects for 10000 years up until the 1950s. It's going to take more than 70 years to unlearn that culture.

Bystander effect and approving or tolerating the crime arent related. Japan has a hands-off and non-confrontational culture which leads to less civilians intervening and preferring to alert and leave it to authorities.

And yet, the problem is so bad OF NON REPORTING, that the police are desperately trying to find easier ways to report a rape while it's happening.

A much more likely description is that they know it is wrong but the desire/reward/compulsion overwhelms that higher order thought process.

You know that goths and goth culture exists even though they are niche and most people think they are a little weird but harmless. So why so resilient to rape culture? It's not a criticism of you.

Let's not forget that we have a huge subsection of society called Incels, who think that's it their right to have sex with any woman that they want, regardless of consent.
