You admit to being out of the loop but there’s a ton of vitriol around this situation. Yes, Olivia is trying to make herself out to be a victim in this, which I think is unwarranted IMO, but there’s plenty of reason to examine why the coverage is lopsided

And the tension would ratchet up when a Texas Accent and New York Accent couple gets found out ala Inglorious Bastards when one of them calls for their pocket book or yeehaws. They are then expelled from the community/murdered.

You see, mixed accent couples weren’t legalized until 1970 so Styles’ character is clearly struggling to keep up the façade in a society that won’t accept his relationship with Pugh. The psychological strain is breaking apart his identity.

I am also neutral toward Harry (I was too old to be a Directioner) but I get the sense that he’s trying very hard to come off as a LGBT Icon/David Bowie type but that doesn’t really play out when you settle down with a mom and her kids. So his team is trying to make him seem like some unknowable enigma.

I suppose you’re right again when about whether a lonely misogynist is born or molded.

I think Ben Affleck is a good example. People weren’t wringing their hands over what his kids must be going through having an addict as a parent.

In a sense, that is what I mean.

The idea that a woman would want to be with someone younger upsets a lot of people because they don’t see it very often. It scares men, and it makes many women, who have internalized that misogyny, uncomfortable.

You’re right. The way I worded it was in line with surveillance and authoritarianism. I was thinking of my own shenanigans on the internet at a young age and even though my parents told me not to talk to strangers, I did so frequently. They wouldn’t have known how to address that with me other than saying “no” or…

It goes without saying, but a child has no comprehension around the value of a dollar. They can usually distinguish where they are hierarchically with their peers, say, after Christmas and everyone got better presents, but they don’t understand the details.

The profile also makes note of a “14-minute tangent” of Wilde’s which involved how “the cycle of not believing in women stems from the post-Depression ideal of a nuclear family unit led by the father, a deeply internalized system designed to control women.”

I hope that’s the case. I just don’t have faith in humanity in general and, in this case, parents specifically.

I mean...I wish all of it was forgiven.

I sympathize with parents because even the vigilant ones can’t catch everything their kids do or see online.

The teacher was trying not to laugh in her TikTok. I wouldn’t have been able to keep my composure if it were me. Because it’s such a ridiculous thing to say, I entirely believe an 11 year old boy would say that.

A good man is a gentleman, a man of honor, courage, appropriate amounts of stoicism

The thing about Tate is that he is very memeable.

Too bad he was awful in “Silence” and it was all for nothing. I am not a fan of his mumblecore style of acting in period films (Hacksaw Ridge being the other one).

“What’s not so typical is that Brenna’s parents lawfully open carry handguns for self-defense. The Strongs join a growing number of families that are standing up for their 2nd Amendment rights by open carrying and bringing gun ownership out of the closet and into the mainstream. If you open carry and have a difficult…

Boring!
