Reply to comment by fuckfuckmyfuckingass in TIL the phrase “you can’t handle the truth” was created/ improvised by Jack Nicholson. The movie's original screenplay boasted the line "You already have the truth," which Nicholson trimmed to "You can't handle the truth." by SixedSigma
It's actually one syllable less, no? But trimming is definitely not the right word to use. It was a significant change in meaning and that's what makes it famous. Not that it's shorter.

Safe word, absolutely yes. But is no one talking about how she almost burnt the house down? And that her actual beahviour is becoming increasingly reckless and erratic? Surely there's something bigger at play here that should be addressed beyond a safe word?

Ironically choosing this place as your favorite in SF seems to answer that on multiple levels.

For as interdependent as this friend group is on EVERYTHING this is really minimal crossing of sexual partners. If they were gay this would be a much more interesting map. (Source: am a gay man living in Amsterdam via LA).

This would be more interesting if they showed more regional restaurants.

Reply to comment by scandinavianleather in [OC] Birth months of FIFA World Cup players. The top three are January, February and March, possibly due to the "Relative age effect" by desfirsit
In the US (well at least my school district in Minneapolis) it oriented around a school calendar i.e. those born September 2000 to August 2001 were all in the same class. People born in September and October were always the oldest in their class. Long story short this graph and the interpretation of this graph is wrong for a number of geographical and cultural inconsistencies.

Of course it's not. It's also got beautiful pork farms as far as the eye can see.

Segmentation studies are designed to bucket consumers into their purchasing strength and opportunity. Often demographics are taken into account. This isn't a uniquely US phenomenon. It's a globally capitalist one.

What you might see as segregation a business or brand might see as understanding the wealth and purchasing power of specific demographics for targeting purposes. Its why when you search "Black Pound" on Google you'll find plenty of articles discussing the monetary opportunity of black British and other ethnic minority consumers.

Disagree. You can't handle the truth more squarely puts the onus on them ignoring what's before their eyes. It's an accusation in itself. The context that comes loaded with that accusation is what gives the line its power.
