Are the illuminati in the room with you right now?

Neill Blomkamp is not a heavy hitter. He’s made exactly one passable movie, which happened to be his first. He doesn’t belong on this list, because his whole career is a miss.

“Employers don’t just want mindless drones spouting religious propaganda and conspiracies - they want educated workers with critical thinking skills that can do more complex tasks.”

That’s cultural/regional. In a lot of places using Mr/Ms/Mrs First Name is the right thing. Not in most parts of the English-speaking world, as far as I know, but addressing someone by their family name is certainly not considered proper everywhere.

Absolutely. What would be the actual tangible difference in the show if the fungus zombies were just traditional walking dead zombies? This is 100% a zombie show, and it’s laughable to suggest otherwise.

First, she is actively lobbying and contributing money to anti-trans causes. She is literally the leading anti-trans voice in the English-speaking world right now.

Yeah, back when I worked on my uncle’s farm they had one old grain truck from like the 40s or 50s that they used for hauling garbage and debris. No one warned me that it hadn’t had working brakes in probably decades. Eventually I got the hang of getting it where I needed it just by shifting and drifting, but that…

I live in flatland - there is no hill or mountain within many hundreds of miles of me that would ever require downshifting (or any other technique besides a little braking) for slowing my vehicle. I do recall the subject coming up during driver training, but that was nearly 30 years ago now. I’m aware that it can be…

Have you ever spoken to, listened to, or read anything at all about actual trans people?

I agree with you for the most part - no child anywhere ever has gotten bottom surgery, as far as we know, but top surgery has been performed on minors, and that is permanent (it can be cosmetically reversed, but real breasts are real organs and once they’re gone they’re gone for good).

As a sometimes-proud Saskie, I do not want the Dakotas any more than you do. Thank you though, for once again having a more embarrassingly stupid Premier than we do.

This isn’t that. It’s right up front that the survey shows girls were “forced to have sex” - in other words, they’re not even recognizing that as what it is in this research.

“I don’t know why it’s so hard to tie these together.”

They’re a different kind of jock, you’re exactly right, but the thing that sets them apart is the subdued nature of skating culture. No matter what ridiculously athletic or death-defying stunt a skater pulls off, they’re expected to just roll away afterward like they didn’t do anything cool at all rather than…

The entire goal of the anti-trans movement is to keep closeted trans people closeted, push out trans people back into the closet if possible, and kill the ones who won’t go back. They’re not even subtle about it.

That is to say a lot of women are concerned about women who were once men invading their space for a variety of reasons. One does one group of people (trans) comfort with themselves automatically overwrite the discomfort of another group (biological women).

This was the same era when Fox also decided to throw the Simpsons head-to-head with the Cosby show (and won that too). They were certainly audacious.

The internet was a mistake. I make my living off of it, but it was a mistake. If I had a time machine, the first thing I’d do, even before killing the baby fuhrer, would be preventing the invention of the internet.

Also the total media capture. There is no mainstream media that comes anywhere close to even a mild criticism of how capitalism is practiced in the USA, because the entire news media is owned by massive corporations expressly for the purpose of laundering their reputations and ambitions.

They have got to do something about cops’ “fear”. They are allowed to use any fear, no matter how objectively ridiculous, as a justification for using lethal force, and they are afraid of literally everything.
