So you're all people then? Counterpoint, I enjoy it. It's not my favorite, but certain meta moments are fun. Skipping the... hmm, tunnel? episode, Toph loving her actor, bad cosplay, and Sokka getting in on the ham are all somewhat fun. There's some bplot drama I don't care much for, but assuming everyone must have taste like yours is peak "everyone thinks like me and if they say they don't they're faking."

People have tastes that don't match yours. Neither of you are wrong for your tastes. (Barring absolutely harmful ones anyway).

My sister lived in S Korea a few years ago, and keeps up on some stuff. She mentioned the feminist 4B movement. Quoting an article:

4B is shorthand for four Korean words that all start with bi-, or “no”: The first no, bihon, is the refusal of heterosexual marriage. Bichulsan is the refusal of childbirth, biyeonae is saying no to dating, and bisekseu is the rejection of heterosexual sexual relationships. It is both an ideological stance and a lifestyle, and many women I spoke to extend their boycott to nearly all the men in their lives, including distancing themselves from male friends.

So some of this might be the movement, which is against the patriarchal society Asian countries are famous for (and part of why so many weeb incels want Asian "submissive" wives). Has my respect too. Iirc some men have been violently attacking women over it, bur I can't find a link in the limited time I have atm.

There are known examples, most famously the Hold your wee for a Wii contestant. Mother just trying to win a gaming system for her children.

I believe it's happened either in sports or athletic events where water was used instead of something like Gatorade.

Are you still growing (teenager) or are very active or both? Calorie needs vary based on stuff like that, so if you're discussing with people above 25 who are only mildly active they wouldn't be able to burn away those calories as easily. Our base metabolic rate slows down too.

Completely agree.

I've lived with all 3. Bed bugs are the worst.

I was talking about his earlier days before being in the court, where he was inspired by Malcom X and the Black Panthers, though he seemed more interested in the hard militarized image of them:

inspired by the Black Panthers.”

“He dressed like them. He talked like them. He had a beret. He had Army fatigues and he had the Army boots,” Gordon Davis, a former classmate, recalls in the above clip.

Thomas had a poster of Malcolm X in his dorm room. He reportedly boasted that he had read all of the activist’s speeches and, at one time, could have quoted some of them by heart. Thomas was not alone in his frustration with racial injustice at the time.

“I had evolved from being hopeful to being pissed off. A lot of young people in America was pissed off,” Orion Douglass, another of Thomas’ former classmates, says in the clip. “And they weren’t seeking a reconciliation, okay? They were seeking a coup, to change the whole thing.”

Edit but you're probably right that he never worked toward it. I kinda recall him being a lawyer for a while and thought he may have back then, but I could be remembering wrong.

Behind the Bastards has some episodes on him. It's been a while so I don't fully recall, but my memory of it was that he was always kinda gross and misogynist, and he was also self serving in hus choices. Those choices didn't always make him the right wing shitbag that he is now, since he originally was part of the Black Panthers.

After some time working for black Civil rights, he saw more money on the republican side and also saw hypocrisy on the democratic side. He said something to the effect of 'They're all racists, but at least Republicans are racist to your face/honest about it'(hey that sounds familiar...)

Again I remember money being a big part of it, so I've chalked him up to just being a selfish asshole who fought for causes once that would help himself and that made him look like he was on the right side of history once.

I have two sets of indoor slippers, so don't really wear shoes inside per say... though one of the slippers does close around feet somewhat like a shoe.

I have a freakishly large neck.

Oh they know. Discipline doesn't mean punishment for wrong deeds, it means forceful changes in any behavior, concepts, or ideas that the one executing the discipline dislikes. Disrespecting your "betters" is always a part of this too. I got pulled over once because I passed a police office. He was going under the speed limit so u went the speed limit and passed him. His reason was not showing due respect.
