I agree with you, but with a minor adjustment: Forgiveness is something possible to give when an actual amends has been made. Amends are ACTIONS - apologies are too often just “thoughts and prayers” level nothingness.

This is a very important question.
Dude, I read it as if it was a priest commenting on priests. It scans as the patriarchy saying the quiet part loud about themselves:
I was advised by a friend who went through the court system - took 5 YEARS - that I should not report my assault, because the experience of reporting and the protracted nature of the court was far, far worse than the night he pushed his way into her apartment.
This is a real thing.

The fixation you have on arguing that a hugely valuable corporation, the one that owns Star Wars for fuck sake, should focus on protecting their future profitability over the actual people who make it profitable, is gross.
Hey WizardKnight... I am referring to NET PROFITS, not the overall “worth” of the Disney Corp, or its “cash on hand”. You seem to have misunderstood, so I shall explain: Net profits are gross profits, minus the cost of operating the business, which consists of operating parks, retail locations, and production on…

He is toxic narcissism incarnate.
No seriously: if you can watch the first season of Australian Survivor without being spoiled, DO IT.
Honestly?
There is something veeeeeery fishy going on in the energy sector of Ontario right now. I think that this is more likely the work of a whistleblower than a pure training exercise accident, and I am glad the mayors are not letting this slide as if shit like this is normal. Fuck Doug Ford, etc.
I KNOW RIGHT? Ugh.
Dolomite? Come now... We have to make sure that the costume design in The Irishman gets the highlight it deserves.
I am trying to wrap my head around what a massive intravenous meth injection and/or symptoms of meth toxicity looks like (a... manic episode?), and why someone might derive pleasure from watching someone go through it.
The Irishman was so out of touch and up it’s own ass, I can’t even. Old White Dudes and their massive egos become the kind of patriarchs who professionally enact violence / neglect their families for fun and profit, and after a lifetime of little-to-no self awareness, *almost* figure it out by the time they die...…
Do you think she knows she is saying “fidgerater” again and again?
Like... we’ve seen in hundreds of books and movies already?
