Looking to simplify my life in chaotic times. Nimrods Theatre, now in limbo with dreams of re-birth. Interested in Bitcoin the changes it will bring.
I think you are confused. They are this way to their own group. They are not this way to the out-group. Conservatives tend to have higher SDO (Social dominance orientation) - which makes following the leader and being better than an out-group a higher priority. It is fear based.

Wasn't blaming - just pointed out the beginning of a modern trend. No matter how competent prior women were, Hillary was most likely the first 'possible' one. Agree with the royalty aspect of the Bush's. RFKJr is... Bonkers.

"Fine" is not a strong word! 😉 Still makes me think there are no grand-slams. Small/scrappy theaters that have nothing to lose can take all that risk, and the big theaters just grab the hits. I'll throw in that I'm cynical, just for perspective. 😁

I hate that Clinton started this idea that the wives of presidents should become presidents. Forgoing her, Michelle has said she has no interest in politics but no one listens. Proof we think it royalty - no one expects an auto mechanics wife to, by proxy, be good with an engine. 🤷♀️

Could it be as simple as... no one is writing new stuff? Or sometimes I think there is a glut of new stuff, but all of it is lukewarm. At times it seems to me that no one has anything to say anymore.. but all this is just a feeling.. I'm a bit outta the scene for a while...

IF such 'sex' robots exist in the future, it will just result in maladjusted humans. It would be masterbation +1, but still masterbation. And the stigma/taboo will probably still be strong in classifying such people as weirdness par excellence.

Some songs:
"After I went thru a wall"
"the 8th dimension"
"When are we going? -- real soon"
"John, John, John, John, John , John, John..."
"YMCA" (not really in the movie but their costumes are similar to the Village People, so...)

It's a stretch to try to put this into a gen-x category, tbh. All generations get more conservative as they get older, so there is that also... all-in-all gen-x is more prone to just keep their mouth shut. (We are practically invisible!)

When what the cops do on campus is so ridiculously heavy handed that the local city government feels the need to remind everyone that the cops who arrested protesters weren’t city cops.

A VA lab known for its pioneering work documenting CTE in athletes has concluded that the gunman who committed Maine’s deadliest mass shooting—a grenade instructor in the Army Reserve—had profound brain damage of the kind seen in veterans exposed to repeated blasts. (gift link)

If the cost of the (resulting) 'unemployed' cops on society is greater than that $151M, then the number was a bargain. Reality is hard! 🤷♂️

I have to say I really like the “nothing to see here, move along” approach Bluesky has built into its block feature. Someone says something annoying and you block them? Neither you nor they nor any drama-seeking onlookers can see the exchange anymore. We all just get on with our lives.
