Both movies suffer from making societal statements, Crash about race and Brokeback Mountain about acceptance of homosexuality.

Both movies were nominated so we could pat ourselves on the back. Neither movie was particularly good.

We may very well be powerless to stop them from doing this, but it would seem extremely easy to avoid.

And by city. Ya, there are some cities where it’s over 10. I’m just saying that’s not nearly the average.

Not disputing most of you point, but the sales tax in California does not average 10%. I live here, and don’t think I’ve ever paid more that 9. Most of the time, it’s lower than 8.

Sorta like how the Ford Mustang isn’t named for the horse, it’s named for the P-51 Mustang airplane (which in turn is named for the horse.)

I concerned that the declining traffic is attributed to their anti-DEI move, when overall consumer spending is likely down. I’m Not saying it boycotts haven’t had an effect, but that may be hard to measure.

I unironically would rather FFmpeg be in charge of, well, anything instead of Musk.

When you’re in a library, the navigation bar at the top that defaults to recommended is scrollable. Playlist live to the right after collections. At least that’s where it is in my build.

Each genders experiences on dating sites suggest otherwise.

I know it’s a joke, but I feel like to be fair to both genders, each man here should arrows pointing to every woman.

Extremely reasonable concerns, I agree. I wish Biden would have passed the baton early on like he said he was going to. I honestly think that cost the Democrats the election.

But given the choice between a declining Biden surrounded by competent people or Trump surrounded by sycophants, I would choose the former.

See above reply. I should not have, mistakenly, implied democrats earnestly concerned about Bidens age are silent now. My point was to illustrate Republican hypocrisy.
