@BlackDumpling People don’t mature with age, they mature with experience. Treating people like children for longer only delays their development. I think introducing teenagers to adult responsibilities gradually is for the best.
It’s essential that more people see news stories like this. They need to understand that foreigners cannot pillage this country with total impunity.
Millions shared the headlines about the hundreds of millions and even billions in fraud that Somalis perpetrated over the years in Minnesota.
But unless they also see the headlines about these people being arrested and going to prison, the message we will be sending to the Third World is “Please come here and commit more fraud” while the message we send to our own people is “Nothing will ever happen. You may as well become a trooned out accelerationist and vote Democrat.”
Some people have pointed out that the toys in the toy store in the second film are conscious despite not having been owned by a child yet. This would seem to undermine my theory, except that those toys operate on factory settings. They are not aware of themselves as toys (much like Buzz in the first film). So it is in relation to the child, and through their relationship with the child, that the toy becomes aware of itself as a self and begins to know, and with great pain at first, accept its true nature. Which leads me finally to conclude that Toy Story is a deep spiritual allegory about man’s relationship with God.
@WallStreetApes I inspect gas stations for a living, and this is likely not the result of a scam. It’s probably a fuel leak above the meter, likely a loose filter.
@just_joel9000 When your whole identity is your opinion, and someone attacks that opinion, you feel personally attacked. And when people want to enforce their own opinions at gunpoint, they assume everyone else does too.
@cremieuxrecueil My grandpa walked into Soviet controlled East Germany and bought Soviet military training manuals and weapon specification manuals from the used book store.
@FarmGirlCarrie Well this is the fakest thing ever. No breaths, no change in emotion, no visceral details, no surprises, just a vague narrative reinforcing commonly held assumptions delivered in a monotone with unnatural pauses.
