This is overreach, but Tolkein's hawkish lawyers prevented a crappy movie version of Lord of the Rings from being made (at least until the rights were given to Amazon).

Everything ebbs and flows, but on the wider scale of things crime is down and life expectancy is up.

I was banned from Reddit for saying that transgender people deserve love but not affirmation of their beliefs. Apparently, they viewed that as worthy of an IP ban.

I don't have a problem on religious holidays with going out to a place run by people who don't celebrate it. I was craving Arab food Christmas Eve which was fine because it's just another day for them. I would never visit during their holidays as they would never go to a Christian store during ours.

They deserve to be mocked.

How was The Last Jedi a rebellion against toxic fans? I thought the movie was fine and has excellent cinematography, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking or controversial in my eyes.

So we're just posting propaganda now?

That's the real date. The harbinger of doom.

No. The repentance of each individual sin is not required either as shown in the Lord's Prayer. "Forgive us our debts/trespasses" shows that we can simply ask God to forgive us in general, although it is good to ask forgiveness for individual sins for our own reflection.

Certainly. The point is that it's mainly younger people and people transitioning between stages of their life who are suffering most from the cost of living crisis.

I'm assuming you live in a place with an egregious cost of living, which is not the majority of America. My family has never made more than 70k in a good year, yet lives comfortably in a home bought 15 years ago in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

The vast majority of the population is not struggling. Too many are, but that doesn't mean they make up the majority.
