FROM PEN: Chef Gordon Ramsay Explains Why He Won't Think About His 'Death Row Meal' As terribly off-putting as the front of the one-piece is — by no real fault of Fieri's, really; no one's face would look good like this – the back of the suit is even more bizarre.

Yet much like the tropes of queer literary lust that populate the final half of the novel (the Sulking Straight Top Who Sodomizes Without Fear of Feces), even this halting dialogue never feels wholly out of step with Wallace's psyche, which itself functions in discordant, sometimes off-putting, thrillingly contradictory ways.

His heater, put at the spot by the hitter's knees where those hitters will always complain when umpires always call strikes, is an out-of-the-shadows dagger; his slider is a flying saucer if flying saucers were even loopier and more dazzlingly off-putting than popular media has led us to believe.

While Biden's seemingly pathological need to touch those around him is off-putting (who among us really wants anyone — much less a 76-year-old former vice president — sniffing our heads?), and was at the center of the first scandal of his campaign, we thought the former veep might have gotten the message.

Even There Will Be Blood, his previous Day-Lewis collaboration and biggest box office success (though still bringing in a fairly modest $40 million domestic), is a spectacularly idiosyncratic piece of work played in an often off-putting key, impudently thumbing its nose at conventional redemption arcs and the niceties of prestige drama.

"The Fetishes" intimates this relationship through a kind of absurd and at first almost off-putting literalization of metaphor: an iPad with its screen covered in lotion and dark, curly, pubic hair, plays a looped blur of pink flesh jerking back and forth — a GIF made from a zoomed-in snippet of porn.

Photo: PanasonicWith a $250-$280 price tag for the tallest version, you're better off putting your money towards something like Logitech's Circle 2 which has a larger field of view, night vision recording capabilities, and a design that's easy to mount high on a wall, or hide between the knick-knacks on a shelf.

So our categories right now cover ... our largest categories are still gaming, which is very male-dominated; news and politics on Reddit as a category that should be more balanced but I think it still skews male, both out of history and also I think kind of the tone of some of those conversations can be off-putting.

But unless Ms Weidel manages to strong-arm Mr Gauland and present a genuinely moderate and fresh face, it also makes the party off-putting to all but its core voters and raises the chances of new sagas like the Höcke one; after all, he is by no means the most right-wing figure in the party.

The film's contentious history, with Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street masterminds Phil Lord and Chris Miller being pushed off the film, and Ron Howard taking over, was certainly off-putting to a lot of people who've followed their respective careers, and it speaks poorly to Disney's habit of hiring then firing directors with strong, idiosyncratic voices.

Don Atari's aggressive embrace of anything off-putting or unsettling results in the film's most troubled gag — a pan-gender model named All (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose portrayal has deeply offended the trans community in general, and trans models in specific — but he stands out as one of the few plot elements that aren't entirely steeped in reflexive absurdity.

His most accessible film, Magnolia, is a wild, sprawling examination of love, loneliness, and forgiveness; his historical epic There Will Be Blood presents two greedy men who are at each other's throats, against a backdrop of oil and fire; his semi-rom-com Punch Drunk Love serves up a deliberately kooky sensibility that can be off-putting to the uninitiated.

In a role that is off-putting even by his standards, Robert De Niro gives a fearless performance as Rupert Pupkin ("It's often mispronounced and misspelled"), a bottom-feeding would-be comedian who craves the approval and assistance of a late-night talk-show host (Jerry Lewis, in a turn that seems to distill a lifetime's exasperation with his fans).

While Hickenlooper's response appeared intended to push the limits of a gendered expectation — an interpretation he reportedly reiterated after the Atlanta event — Bash underscored very clearly in her reply exactly why it was so off-putting: Men as major-party presidential nominees has been the norm in America for centuries, whereas only one woman has ever been a major-party nominee.

However, it's still super weird and off-putting to watch Esther and her husband, Peter (Biagio Forestieri), having sex up against the window of their house while the pope watches, dropping to his knees to pray for the Virgin Mary to give them a child, chanting "You must, you must." as Peter thrusts against his wife and everything culminates in ... well, you know what it culminates in.

But look around the dining hall of the market, where Hilton's shares space with Kay's and Paul's, and the tablescape shows a preponderance of browns: chips, strong milky tea and pies served with mushy peas, "as visually off-putting as the town centre itself", admits Pete Brown, a food-and-drink writer and son of Barnsley, in his new book, "Pie Fidelity: In Defence of British Food".

So chockablock is "The Last Laugh" with unregenerate characters saying off-putting or vile things to one another that this pantywaist reader occasionally longed for the quietudes found in the work of that other chronicler of women of a certain age, Barbara Pym, who can get a lot of mileage out of, say, an ambiguous smile from a local vicar at a jumble sale.

Most of the time, in my hearing, when cultural critics talk about the difficulties with US culture — the deeply embedded racial hatred and fear, the misogyny, the myopia, the ignorance that seems to have no end — they say, "The problem is … " But Baldwin rightly identifies several problems with our culture, which has the off-putting effect of making his critique more honest but less digestible.

Madgy's videos about mysticism, flat earth theories, and the upcoming exodus to the "holy grail" have brought him more than 50,000 followers on YouTube, and since Braun is prone to getting his accounts taken down by YouTube, in his periodic absences from the site, Madgy and other less apocalyptic initiates have been instrumental in spreading the rite to those who might otherwise find Braun scary or off-putting.

There are interesting arguments about the roots of this division: Whether women are somehow naturally more religious than men, whether Jesus' dim view of violence is particularly off-putting to the male of the species, or whether some specific cultural shift — a feminine turn in medieval piety, the separation of the sexes in the Industrial Revolution, the late-modern turn away from martial religious language — created the modern Christian situation.

So, Amazon is playing the Whole Foods strategy well: Lowering prices to draw in some switchers while not off-putting the old faithful; possibly using the Prime rewards to keep the price conscious switchers coming back, although details have not been provided; and, spreading the reach of the Whole Foods brands to the two-thirds of the population that doesn't live within five miles of a Whole Foods.

Filled with flashes of visual beauty and a fistful of interesting ideas, Knight of Cups is — like much of Malick's most recent work — something that asks to be experienced rather than understood, but by pushing his experimental inclinations further than ever before, he's ended up with something that's strangely bereft of poetry or emotional resonance, resulting in a movie that may be off-putting to all but the most ardent Malick die-hards.

Although much of the blame for what is to come clearly lies with Trump, it should be said that the administration's response has been entirely in keeping with a premise that has guided American public policy for decades now—that given the assumed unwieldiness and inefficiency of the federal government, the American people are better off putting their faith in the wisdom and innovation of the private sector and state and local officials.

The dissonance between our lives outside politics and in politics is definitely new So yeah there's a censoriousness now which I have to say, perhaps now as a sort of dinosaur liberal, I find very off-putting because I do slightly cleave to the view that so long as you're not messing up someone else's life or doing something to the detriment of others, then part of what a liberal society is is that we let people get on with stuff, even if we don't agree with it.
