cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (neutral)
Tim Roth in a mid-season filler show at Fox about the science of lie detection! There's a source link at the post.

I couldn't help getting a little excited during the trailer even though I have absolutely zero confidence in Fox's ability to not cancel a good show. But his real accent! And his... lounging! It's been too long since he's been acting regularly.

Incidentally, in regards to yesterday's poll, by far my most frequent impulse purchases are books, probably because I am never subject to the feeling that a book would be a waste of money, which is what usually restrains me from other impulse purchases. I still don't make all that many, though. In the last year I've probably only impulse-bought 20 or so. I've impulse-bought 11 dvds in the same period. They probably even out, cost-wise.

For the record, I usually contemplate shoe purchases painstakingly thoroughly - my only impulse buys, in shoes, are the cheap ballet flats they have from time to time at Indiska, which has only amounted to four pairs in three years. My impulse purchases of teacups only amount to three, but it seems like more because of all the time I spend gazing at them in an aesthetically-induced haze of bliss.

I don't post about it every time I think about it because then I would be posting all the time, but it got tangled up in some other issues in my head and so I present this poll, because I really don't know how other people deal with this issue. So I would welcome discussion in the comments.

Obviously, I am aware that there are different levels of moral outrage. Most people are accustomed to sucking it up and maintaining relationships with people who hold some values we consider repugnant. And pretty much everyone would say that they couldn't maintain their respect and friendship without discomfort for a murderer or someone who had committed a similar violent crime. That's why I chose the examples I chose within the poll - meant to indicate the range of issues I specifically intend the poll to apply to. In other words, the range of issues over which these related social questions don't seem ridiculous...

[Poll #1305293]
