Tall, white male working on my privilege, listening more. Father of 3 boys, married to a genius academic. I like efficiency, but also like caring about people. Both are possible! Gen Xr who resents needing "readers" or "my" music labeled "classic!"
Don't waste your time. Try to pressure 8 Dems about to take the dumbest vote of their life to use common sense. To stop using old Washington thinking.
Then watch some Bluey!

Feminized vices?!?!?! What the? Women get to gamble and watch porn? Girls playing pool in River City?
Guys have to seriously get a grip on their fragile egos. Women can be awesome. Men can be awesome. Men can have feelings and be strong. So can women. Just go watch the Barbie movie already

I'm so out of fucks to give for these losers I am now liberally saying "Fuck This!"
It is like watching a HOA Board try to deal with the guy launching fireworks every night. Robert's Rules of Order will not solve this. Negotiations will not solve this. We need Batman, not Dent.

I would object due to the lunch biasing the jurors. "Your honor, I insist the jurors eat salads, bowls, or at least a wrap. But these sandwiches are prejudicial!"

The guy literally thinks we should make food, daycare and transportation affordable for average citizens instead of giving even higher tax breaks to billionaires and somehow everyone is losing their minds. I think in the 60s this just seemed like common sense.

I rarely rewatch a movie, but this one I've seen at least 5 times. I can just listen to it, the dialogue and soundtrack are a symphony. Story is powerful. Cast is amazing.
I know people love to talk about Heat, but this is my favorite Mann movie.

This is an indicator that things are bad, but also the reason they are bad. When every checkout website offers financing options, it only encourages people to assume more debt. Now you can put your payment plan on a credit card!
