Just put the entire Mister Rogers catalog on repeat forever. I promise the generous support of viewers like you and the Sears-Roebuck foundation will keep it going forever.
Maybe her handlers' revenge, sure.
This would be like saying AOC's revenge or Jacinda Ardern's revenge. They aren't smart enough or even personally invested enough for that. They are the smiling woman face that people are supposed to defend even though they don't know why.
Well at least I know why you are so angry all the time.
Might be my perception but uk and aus have some of the trashiest, most entitled and gross slooty sloots in the world. Just absolutely trash humanity.
...because there are biological and evolutionary reasons why it must be so, and you can't social engineer these instincts away in a decade or two.
A peaceful world rewards the risks and dangers that men assume as part of their biological role. The feminized world we're in is about to drag us into war.
It will stop being a shallow platitude when there are harsh truths behind it.
"We need to restore the American family because it is the bedrock to ideals we all hold dear. Without a loving family support, there is no upward social mobility. There are no great scientific advancements. There is more violence and less peace. There is chaos and instability where there could be justice and prosperity.
We need to restore the American family because we have been too selfish for too long. We have prioritized ourselves over our children - exclusively to their detriment. There is no honor in being a single parent or a co-parent in a fractured family. There is no pride in not being there for your children.
We need our children to take care of us in our old age. In order for that to happen, we need to take care of them in their youth."
Or something like that. Hell, I'd take whatever Imp would come up with at this point, because while I'm sure it'd be caustic, it would have more truth than anything our politicians say now.
Laughter breaks tension, too. I've worked with kids for the better part of a decade -- from high class foreigners to literal juvenile delinquents, if you can make them laugh you can get through to them.
I lived in SK for 5 years. Dated a couple Korean women -- very quickly decided Korean women were not for me.
South Korea is going to get bulldozed by Western culture. When I moved there in 2014 there were no fat people, but now they're everywhere. Apps like Yogiyo and western food have made an Americanized diet easier and easier to eat.
Likewise, feminism wasn't really a big thing there. By the time I left in 2019 I had enough friends to have met some feminists leaking out of the universities there. Now it makes perfect sense that they're going to go 0-100 into extreme separatist radfem. I wonder what the traditionally beautiful Korean women think of Dworkin... if they're ever even shown her picture.
And wouldn't surprise me in the least if he had a similar relationship with his "mentee" -- grooming isn't just for kids.
I believe it comes down to generational wealth. My grandparents were solidly middle class for their time, which meant they had some savings for retirement. When my mother made a mistake and got pregnant as a single mother, they bent over backwards to put me in good schools and keep me doing the right thing.
If I were to repeat that mistake, my mother would be completely incapable of helping me in the same way, and my kids would have a much harder road of it.
Black Americans, simply put, never had that sort of generational nest egg to fall back on. By my calculations this is going to get worse before it gets better, and we'll see violent (feral, honestly) behavior across all races.
These people hate a caricature of us. Embarrass them with your humanity until that is no longer an option.
Yes. That was broadly my point, but they aren't dramatically different. There is no chance a layperson could look at a brain and tell you male or female.
This just isnt the gotcha that some might think it is because lefties aren't even arguing from a place of logic or reality.
They do.
To be fair, there are subtle, small, biological differences between male brains and female brains. The androgen that causes sex differentiation impacts the entire fetus.
But thats not what they are talking about. To them, a "man" or a "woman" is whatever you think it is in your mind, and no one can tell you differently because it's in your mind.
"You can live your life however you want to, but how are you going to adjust when other people don't want to play along?"
Until the answer is "shut up and deal with it" then it is going to get worse.
I don't fault your perspective. It is true, many of them are hopeless.
But our society depends on you being wrong at some level. If you are right, we are already doomed.
Indeed.
But someone has to help those kids. And they are good kids, I promise you. Fucked up from bad parents and years of abuse, neglect, and trauma, but still good under it all.
Working in this field has renewed my hope, not destroyed it. The boys can be saved... they just need the right people and the right plan around them.
And we need to make a concerted effort not to let this shit happen again. Stop celebrating single parents and start shaming them.
Well, teachers should just have to... teach.
...they cannot teach and parent and nurture and raise (essentially). They are completely doomed to fail, but because they are mostly women we have to hear about how brave and stunning they are.
You aren't wrong. Teaching is a very easy job to coast through, hence the large number of women in the field.
I work in placement with "bad" kids -- there is no DEI in the trenches of broken families, so I am actually able to affect some positive change.
Devil's advocate : successful woman led company - AMD?
Sure. And you could use Margaret Thatcher as an example of an effective female world leader. Doesn't mean she was a good leader, just that she was capable of leading (because she acted like a man).
It's not impossible for women to act like this, but it is rare for them to actually reach a leadership position.
Public schools are still a symptom, not a problem.
You need to fix the family, which is being actively destroyed by the ideological left. These lunatics can groom and indoctrinate children because their parents are too busy or nonexistent to parent.
Until you fix the family, the decline will continue. It will take decades to fix, if it can be fixed.
Protagonist is not deaf. Her entire family is deaf. She is torn between being their translator/helping with family business and her passion... music.
She's really good, but her family doesn't and can't understand.
Pretty much every time the entire world goes to shit, it's immediately preceded by man's hubris reaching a critical mass.
We're there, by the way.
Yeah it was a sad day when I realized most of the original ideas had dried up.
Everything is a reboot, refit, relaunch, remaster, spin-off, or sequel. There have been some fantastic movies in that time, but good luck catching them in theaters. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MO was fantastic 5ish years ago as was Coda last year.
That last one really surprised me -- with it being AppleTV and winning best picture and all -- but it's true. Maybe it's just because an original idea is so refreshing... but I really enjoyed CODA
...then what else was the point of that eulogy???
Seriously, who else is dying suddenly?
Why? Easy.

Peer pressure. I'm sure they had family in their ear, like most of us do. Most of us are surrounded by people who got it without even thinking and think we should have, too. If these were close family members, I could see that being pretty heavy pressure.

They were in risk categories -- older (50 in 2020) and overweight. Even if we did this whole thing right (assuming we couldn't stop the initial research + lab leak) and followed the Great Barrington Declaration, D&S would have both been recommended to get the shots. It's easy to forget that 18 months ago Dr. McCullough was still supporting vaccinating older folks -- now that we have that important data he is calling for human rights tribunals iirc.

Trump pushing it. This is, admittedly, kind of a weak reason.
I went on a week-long cruise the week this was a thing in 2012. I literally got back and everyone was talking about the shitshow it had turned into.
It is so weird because it was apparently this viral thing that I have no context for. I might as well have been in a coma. I know the song 'Jackin' it in San Diego' from South Park is about it but... again, no idea.
