At Disneyland I think it's that they have one lady being chased and then one lady chasing a pirate with a club. Which I thought worked.

Fox isn't making Incredibles 2, Pixar is.

A tricorn!

Your evidence is that people didn't say, "I would never see a movie directed by a woman." How convincing!

Wasn't Herakles a role model of masculinity in his time though? Demigod-figures as exemplars for human virtue is a pretty old concept.

Sadly, actual usage matters and I'm not sure I've ever read or heard anyone unironically use "damsel" in relation to a male character. Can you cite a non-comical use of "damsel" in relation to a man?

I'm not getting transphobic. When?

"I wanted to go BOWLING!!!"

Plenty of them seem driven by smug conviction about how they know the "truth" and everyone else is an idiot. Typical conspiracy nonsense.

No compassion for the people these unvaccinated children infect because their parents are hysterical and superstitious? Every unvaccinated child is a risk to someone's infant.

I live in the Pacific Northwest. Liberal antivaxxers are thick on the ground, believe me.

We survived disaster because of our amazing ability to build complex tools and create societal cohesion. You know. Like with vaccines?

Well not just their kids. I know someone who nearly died as an infant because he got whooping cough before he was old enough to be vaccinated.

Or just misfiring of human reason. It's why slot machines are compelling. We're wired to correlate. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Newborns seem pretty common. My friend nearly died as a newborn from pertussis. He was exposed before he could be vaccinated. That's why everyone who can be should be vaccinated - to protect those that can't be.

There's the fact that what "vaccinated" means can be wobbly. I recently got an early Tdap booster because there's so much pertussis around (thanks to unvaccinated morons) and it's unclear whether an older vaccine will work as well. And I don't want to infect my friends' newborns. This was less of an issue when more…

Weirdly, there are plenty of anti-vaxer conservatives as well. It's such a weird place for the two sides to meet and join together with one voice.

Then you know that practically everywhere outside of Atlanta is a stronghold of racists.

I mean obviously it depends, but the one time I was on a jury, people seemed to be trying to uphold their responsibilities.

It's not like serving on a jury is entirely a volunteer activity.
