I will keep that in mind. The original Disney was based and took on the mob many a time.

I think women watch the Kardashians the same way fans watch professional wrestling.

I assure you, I had to restrain myself from saying it to her.

There is a truth to that. You also find that things change when you get out of the bubbles. Portland might have a crazy city, but the Milwaukee area has a great gun store. Seattle sucks, but Tukwila can be tremendous. You can tell where you are based on how colorful it is. That's not a poetic statement, if it's gray it is local, if it has bright colors it's California infestation.

Feels like that. I've had very good friends go suddenly left, and accuse me of stuff so I learned to keep quiet fairly well. If I post anything righty on social media, I get 12 comments about how wrong I am.

I see you only consider me an acquaintance.

Introspection is not a thing narcissists do easily.

She is allergic to dogs and living in my house. She was happy her allergies were gone.

There are books coming out now about how the entire swamp bravely fought against Trump to stop world war III. They didn't listen to him, or stopped his orders, and even firings.

My sister in law has asperbergers. It's difficult at times because she honestly doesn't realize how bad she can be. She once told me how happy she was because my dog died. My brother has to explain social cues to her.

Then when I talk about it, the social workers over foster care demand I not say that because Aspberger was German and therefore evil. So, now my SIL is autistic.

It's really stupid.

Thank you. I don't know if my computer can handle this, but I will try it out when I get the chance.

The university bubble was kept afloat last decade by promising to keep people out of the economic downturn half the US was suffering. Many teachers used that to promote their insanity and move up. There is a University near my parents house that has spent more money than they have, gotten rid of the computer science degrees, and promoted the usual danger hair stuff. The entire thing has only continued because upper middle class people are disconnected from the lower middle class.

Meanwhile the point of university dies. Like you mentioned the bookstore and library suffer because students can find those books online for cheaper. The use of academia databases doesn't work because so many have figured out ways around it, or better scans of articles. Why do a lecture the traditional way when we have YouTube? Does the professor even know how that works? Who cares.

If students don't need to physically be on campus to study, why do they need food and culture? Make sure the stadium for sports works, and tear down the rest. But students demand culture? Give them DEI paid for culture. That's cheap and easy to do.

So long as the major donors are appeased, and the school can own patents on student made work, the money will continue. Yes, schools own patents which they hope make money. All this AI race is based on schools trying to be the leader on the subject. The school itself doesn't actually need to exist.

Then the teachers see their nice office, the school bubble, and the way things are run. They think this is how socialism works. So, DEI money makes them proudly declare their intentions.

I remember how every movie during the Bush era talked about how evil he was. Then when OBama did the same things, not a single movie about it released.

They want to defeat each other over who is more lefty? Step back and enjoy the show.

ChatGPT 4 just got data analysis and chart making. The hallucinations are starting to dwindle as well. It's not perfect, but good enough is far better than it's human competition.

I think this has been the best primary in a very long time. We have two candidates who have won, done what they promised, and improved the lives of their constituents. I want Trump to win so DeSantis can prove Florida is winning even harder. That is not a position I've ever been in.

I would trust the AI more. It hallucinates, but acknowledges that this happens.

It's a common part of history. A friend of mines ancestor lived right next to one of the greatest battles in all of Japanese history. He wasn't a Samurai, so he went fishing. That's my favorite example, but it's common for any historical event you can imagine. A block away, everyone was living a life as if it didn't really matter.

About this point, Jon Snow is more accurate a retelling than this movie.
