Yeah, straight up disagree.
People are not individually brilliant, we are the result of hundreds of generations of iteration and resilience. No one has built and started from zero even people like me that avoids others.
People are not superheroes, they aren’t individual creators they are at the new end point of the neverending colony.
But the individual will always let you down. They are not as perfect or incredible as our beliefs in them.
Yup. They even did a “fun” daytime talk show tour of talking up how hot it made him, apparently.
He’s been trying to rebrand and make people view him as a cool antisocial gen Z type for a bit now.
Humanity can be incredible, but humans sucks.
The most insane thing is that the facial hair is literally fake.
As in added in post by his media team to make him look more human, fake.
He is a digital aberration. A literally fake human that only appears so while on screen.
To him being an incel, he never married or dated publicly. Complained about women and considered them lesser. Used the sexual acts of others to blackmail others while living with another man that was his co-director of the FBI. His mother called him weak and lived with Hoover her whole life. Argued women were sluts and anyone that made comment on his sexuality was usually attacked viciously.
Also
He thought it was cute that people were naming their homeless encampments after him.
He thought the FBI was wasted on mafia and killers and should focus on communists and blacks as the country should be a white Christian nationalist state.
He, apparently was so good at stealing and wiretapping that he had blackmail on pretty much everyone down to Nixon.
American protests are the dumbest shit.
A bunch of people thinking they have done something productive because they held up a sign until their arms got tired after an hour and joined a mailing list that they might toss $5 to.
It’d be more productive to host a block party where at least everyone gets fed.
There was one in Orlando recently where they (80 people) just protested nothing and everything all at once and then they just packed up talking about how good that was.
At best it was just an excuse to go to the park.
People are comfortable even when they stress that they aren’t and don’t want to do anything more than tell people to stop being meanies like it does something. And are scared of what happens when we actually push back against bullies cause we haven’t for decades.
Then just ignore this yourself. Barging in and demanding that everyone else do something differently because you got a whiff of it is like going to your neighbors to complain about what they made for dinner each night.
Eventually it’s on you to do that last bit of ignoring if your goal is to ignore the world around you. Don’t make it everyone else’s problem when it’s yours.
Also just googled it and Michelle King was born in 1958 making her 67 years old.
Hyperbole but the average age of the senate is 64 years old.
The baby boomer and silent generation holds 294 seats in the US congress at about 55% of the Congress. The only reason the average is low is because of the bulk of 40 year old Republicans and the oldest members finally dying off. GEN X has been a larger swath of seats than they would care to admit.
While millennials make up 25% of the US population they just recently made up only 5% of congress.
The youngest members of the boomer generation where born just as Hawaii became the 50th state. Nearly half of Congress can remember as a kid when there was only 48 states.
The point is that people in power are incredibly out of touch with modern existence and have been disproportionately protecting their positions and keeping younger generations from coming in. Yes they might not literally all be as old as WW2 but some of them literally are.
To insinuate that younger generations have not grabbed for higher positions is disingenuous to the reality of the world.
Yeah it’s a shame must of us weren’t born before WW2 ended or we might have been able to have a seat at the table.
No, it’s far more important to step aside.
Remember there are always 2 parties involved in any bullying and it’s on the victim to know when to step away, roll over, and let the bully do whatever they want cause otherwise it causes a scene.
No one ever actually gets cancelled if they have money and influence.
If they aren’t dead they weren’t cancelled, they just got free publicity in the form of backlash.
Just bring tea concentrate. There are several different versions of them from paste to powder to just a tea bag and then you just need water.
Cold brew is even a thing. Tea is like the easiest thing you can make especially if you want it unsweetened.
My problem is I always want lemonade and life has apparently run out of free lemons raining from the sky for me to use and I’m not bringing simple syrup anymore.
You can’t filter the real world. Do your own ignoring every now and again. use that brain instead of a Boolean filter.
Really good choice. There is also the interesting fact that nature does bend for them and the whirlpool for donations actually spits the religious zealot leader out a side path as if rejected by his own gods for using their name and power for control instead of to protect the citizens which is the point of the hidden city in the first place.
There is a lot of complex relationships in that movie that are more incredible to witness when you can look at them them through a more lived lens.
It is SO GOOD!
My inner city Philadelphia friends even like it.
