December is peak holiday season. When people relax, and have time on their hands …

What’s not cool is shitting on a movie just because you didn’t like it or it didn’t make sense to you.

If you don’t like or don’t get a work of art, it is entirely reasonable to shit on it.

The emperor has no clothes.

What’s in my pants is whatever the fuck I tell them is in my pants.

We have conceal and carry laws for this exact reason. /jk

This is why:

“It ain’t stupid if it works.”

is fundamentally incorrect.

Not sure why you were downvoted, you are correct. You can’t even say “Winnie the Pooh”.

Maybe that’s because the patriarchy favours a minority of men.

Go read The Will to Change, then come back and tell me that the majority of men are having a grand time.

You’re picturing the men at the top, which are few. The majority suffer.

“Health” businesses / media: But how can we continually monetise people if they don’t yo-yo diet?

Who told you that you are bad? Can you trust their assessment? Was their assessment correct at the time of assessment? Have things changed since that assessment? Did they know everything about you to be able to make that assessment? Bad in what way? In every way? How could that be possible?

We barely understand ourselves, how can we rely on anyone to make that judgement?

Oh boy, please go hard on … Internet streaming services

My hope is not high for this. The movie will be made by Disney, so I don’t think they’ll be going after Disney+.

For those (like me) who aren’t familiar with virus genetics, this is called recombination. Yes, it is possible between influenza and bird flu because they are the same virus type.

Andrew Wakefield has a lot to answer for.

Now it’s support for murder as a necessary means of change.

Violence wasn’t necessary, it was the only means available. If those in power want to peacefully negotiate, then they must make it possible.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

and the rest of us?

Either make the waves, ride the waves, be part of the wave, or try to walk against the wave.

We all want to be the makers but the majority of us won’t be. Try to ride the waves.

Yes, exactly. It’s best to just not have your voice heard. Don’t vote now, and don’t protest later.

I did some sleuthing. It has been adapted from a poster about fighting against tuberculosis.

Worth it. Cars are an ongoing cost, and don’t bring joy if you’re not into them. I think you made the right choice, you chose joy.

That makes God a rapist who didn’t get consent.

If we take the story at face value, he did get consent.

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”
