I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.

In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”

And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

(This post was made solely for the purpose of having something to point and laugh at when they inevitably do)

The point of politics is to do what individuals can’t do for themselves alone. Nobody wants to be sitting in traffic all day but in the absence of political action all we can do as individuals is sit in traffic in a nicer car. Primitive self-defeating behaviour that politicians are supposed to fix.

And a little entertainment afterwards?

Not going to argue that they're good but it's interesting that they seem to have created more cultural memory/memes than the sequel trilogy (or Avatar).

Definitely affected it - and clever that they only mentioned the charity Alan was giving to at the end, so there was no sense of traitors stealing ti from other causes. Also why you got Nick and David consoling/celebrating with him after he announced he was a traitor.

This was where I first became aware of Joe Marler, and I've adored him ever since.
