Thank you for telling your story. I don’t know what can be done about this horribleness, but sharing your story is always good. Maybe all we can do is talk about it, I don’t know. My heart started pounding as soon as I saw the title and hasn’t stopped yet. I typed the below all on instinct.

This same shit happened to…

Because there was artificial gravity on the ship. As shown by the characters walking around on the ship. And they accelerate until they leave the ship, at which point they travel at a constant speed.
All shown on screen.

So they DO fall in the ships gravity. Quite a smooth launching mechanism, actually

“I needn’t list”
.....
No, no! Please feel free to list them.

Sigh, yeah. Wrinkle in time looks good and we should support it. But the trailers look like they are gonna miss the message of the book. What is all this “we are recruiting warriors” crap? But sometimes trailers are just like that, it’ll probably be great.

Oh, you are right. I am both excited for and dreading fox news trying to understand this movie and it’s success

If you don’t see how assuming all bi men engage in “risky behavior” is bigoted, I don’t know how to explain it to you.

What is in your heart doesn’t matter. No one can tell. Your actions matter.

Oh, sure, I guess it matters to you and your spirituality and to your therapist. But as far as everyone else in the real world is concerned, it doesn’t matter.

There is zero practical difference between silently agreeing and silently disagreeing…

If your “Personal preference” is that not a SINGLE member of a race/creed/sexuality other than yours is acceptable, then, yeah, you are a bigot.

How is being bi “lying about who I am”?

Is this a sot-so-veiled “all bi men are gay men in training” argument?

“Because I don’t want a bi-man?? No. It’s a preference. Period.”

Replace “bi” with “white/asian/arab/black” and tell me that sentence isn’t bigoted.

Tell them that this is only a symptom. We should be funding the government on a month-to-month basis. We fucking gave up on yearly budgets and now fund it month-to-month.

Except now, apparently, we only fund 3 weeks at a time. See you at the Feb 8th shutdown!

I would tell them that it is dangerous to work for an…

Screw it. The only reason I was gonna tune in was to see if anyone kneeled.
I’ll just watch the puppy bowl:

Ha! They expect anyone to believe that the media wouldn’t be talking about a woman president’s weight and looks CONSTANTLY?

You got it, alright. I’ve worked catering for a while and found myself working events at country clubs every now and then. I am always shocked /not shocked at how ok everyone is with the racial divide at those places. Every single member is wasp white and every regular service employee is black. It is a little…

You said it. The entire move is to continue driving public insurance into the ground in order to prove it doesn’t work.

I would counter by asking why your relationship with a coworker needs to be flirty at all? Why not just professional? Or even friendly.

True, and Rupert Murdoch is Lysa Arryn in that pic

You know, I don’t think she has any opinions of her own. She seems to be happy to parrot the opinions of whoever is writing her check.

True as far as it goes. But the picture is muddied, unfortunately.

Hmm. Good idea to call it circumstance, I may use that in discussion.
