That's exactly it.

I wouldn't say that, it was a fun show. But its need for drama made characters do stupid things….and that's what I always hate about TV shows. Feeding her to the dogs? That was idiotic, pointless, just for the visceral hate.

Exactly what I was saying.

Cheesy Big Bad stuff from Ramsey Bolton, Game of Thrones is feeling increasingly like Breaking Bad in its crude narratives and need for ever increasing drama.

I thought I was hearing the new Beyonce today on Spotify but it turned out it was Beethoven.

I do secretly wish there was one storyline where things weren't complete hell for everyone involved. Like, they could cut to the Reach and people are just sitting on a patio, or in a court running things, or any of the millions of possible scenarios short of utter betrayal and shortsighted greed. It does get to be a…

No, a flat Earth is not a matter of perception or perspective. I appreciate your consideration, take it easy.

Who even cares if they're valid? The point is to not condescend, act like you have all the answers……it does *nothing* but make you feel good about yourself. Treat people with respect and maybe you'll find you didn't quite understand their point to begin with.

Try having a conversation like a normal person, even if people disagree. Pretend other people have a perspective worth considering, if only to humor them.

Its possible.

I don't think there are as many similarities between the two movements as you might. And transgender advocacy sure could use someone with the political and communication talent and social understanding of an MLK.

Totally, I agree that there are idiots attacking their rights. And there are idiots who are fanatic about the rights and insult anyone who disagrees and drive wedges between the sides. These people are in it for the cause, IMO. Then there are vast numbers of reasonable people in the middle who just want to quietly…

1 in many 1000s…..most of us do not know any. But I appreciate the thoughts.

Eh, you can see the reasonable responses or arguments, then you can see the people who are just in this to point fingers, feel superior, etc. Not difficult. If this were really about the issue itself, KateH might have tried to change my opinion.

Hate, don't educate.
