I remember a girl saying on this platform, “Men should be grateful women want equality, not revenge.”
Revenge?
Here's one of many of incidents that makes you wonder what revenge she was talking about.
I'm not sure women have the slightest idea of how powerless and physically outmatched they can be by men in the grand scheme of things.
Because it's almost comical threatening revenge against someone whose biological advantage you have already acknowledged through your demand for equality.

If there's two characters that highlight the low level decline of the Republic its Jocasta Nu and Dexter Jettster in the Clone Wars.
Jocasta is a complete functionary. The star charts are purposefully tampered with to remove Kamino, and yet all she can reply is that if something is not in the Jedi Records, it does not exist... When Obi-Wan's basic analysis shows the Gravity pull of the missing star still reveals itself on a chart (as if a river was deleted but the valley remained)... Obvious stuff... And Yet Jocasta has failed upwards specifically because of this hyper formal compliance.
Meanwhile, Obi-wan has found a real expert: Dexter ... Running an archaic outer-rim themed Diner that he cannot find other work on Couresant, that he's the only one who can identify the unusual archaic weapon an assassin used.
This is a subtle nod to the classic 1950s American SciFi novel "Atlas Shrugged" in which an economic collapse is so severe and the government so corrupt that after months of searching legendary Philosopher and professor Hugh Akston is randomly found running a 50s highway diner. That it is the most senior work that won't involve morally compromising himself, or accepting a compromised quality out of line with his philosophy.
That's RIGHT! the weird Alien in the 50s diner is an important political theme and commentary! George thought of everything! He's even citing his primary sources in American dystopian/scifi fiction.

Quick Padme rant now that the prequels are trending again.
One of the things that bothers me most about Padme and also incidentally exemplifies how she really does fit the progressive, longhoused girlfriend meme is her death.
A lot of people simplify her death into "Oh Anakin killed her."
To be clear, he did not kill her.
The movie explicitly states she was physically fine but died of a broken heart.
So this woman has 2 newborn children, but she is so heartbroken over Anakin rejecting the Republic and going to the darkside that she can't even summon the will to live to raise her own babies.
Madness. Insanity. Perfect illustration of the liberal adherence to ideology over family.

I asked 50 Japanese people, ages 9 to 91, one question.
"What do you admire most about Americans?"
Here are the top answers.
10. "They clap when the plane lands." (Office worker, 34)
9. "They say 'I love you' every time they hang up the phone. Even men. Even to other men." (Taxi driver, 61)
8. "A stranger told me she liked my shoes. Then she just walked away. She didn't want anything." (High school girl, 16)
7. "They thank the bus driver when they get off." (Bus driver, 55. He got emotional saying this.)
6. "They tell you their whole life story in the grocery line. I know about one man's divorce, his boat, and his knee surgery. We knew each other for four minutes." (My mother, 64)
5. "They stand for the anthem at a children's baseball game." (Little League coach, 47)
4. "When they lose, they shake hands and say 'good game.' And they mean it." (Sota, 12)
3. "They fly the flag on a regular Tuesday. No holiday. Just because." (Nurse, 28)
2. "They help a stranger push a car out of the snow, then leave without saying their name." (My cousin's husband, 52, who got stuck in Colorado once)
And the number one answer came from the oldest person I asked. My grandfather. He's 91.
He thought about it for a long time.
Then he said:
"They still believe tomorrow will be better than today."
I asked him what he meant.
"In 1946, we had nothing," he said. "The American soldiers I met were young and far from home. But they acted like the future was coming, and it was going to be good. After a while, we started to believe them."
I asked him if he thought Americans still believe that.
He nodded slowly.
"Tell them," he said, "not to stop."

For those confused as to what’s happening in Poland right now…
Imagine if Democrats won Congress, declared the Supreme Court didn't count anymore, ignored its rulings for 3 years, and then, a year before the next election, picked 8 new justices of their own, including a man their leader called his "right-hand man," and when the Republican president refused to swear them in, they swore themselves in and mailed him the paperwork, and when the Chief Justice said that wasn't legal and wouldn't seat them, they waited for a Friday night when the president was on a plane to Africa and had federal security officers who answer to a Democratic cabinet member walk 7 of them into the court through a back gate connected to the Democratic leader's own offices, where one of them announced she had "suspended" the Chief Justice, a move that even a law professor who openly can't stand him said had no legal basis, and then riot police blocked the Chief Justice from entering his own court, the court's website was taken over, the Attorney General moved that same night to strip his immunity so he could be prosecuted, the president had to turn his plane around mid-flight to come home, and the same people who spent years lecturing everyone about respecting the courts went online to say this was the rule of law, that it was painful, and that there was "no other way," which is roughly where Poland is tonight.

The difference is that Trump never said he was going to turn America into Nazi Germany.
The Democrats have very clearly, and repeatedly, articulated their plans to do everything Elon said.

How is it that the two most spineless and conniving characters in the entire series have actors with more integrity and dignity than the entire leading cast of heroes
Truly remarkable
Jason Isaacs completely refused to join the public "pile-on" against J.K. Rowling, arguing that real life is far too complicated for instant internet cancellations
Jason Isaacs thinks his former acting colleagues are doing exactly that: stabbing J.K. Rowling in the back. Kicking her while she’s down, turning on her now that it’s become “fashionable,” and speaking badly of her. He doesn’t necessarily even agree with her controversial views. But as a matter of principle, he won’t throw her under a bus.
“There’s a lot to say about Jo,” Isaacs told the Telegraph when asked about Rowling, using her first name (Joanne). “You know, I play complicated people, and I’m drawn to complicated people. I don’t want to get pulled into the trans issue and talk about it, because it’s such an extraordinary minefield.”
He went on to mention some of Rowling’s good works.
"She has her view, and I have mine," Isaacs continued.
"They differ on many levels. But one thing people should also know about her, and I'm not saying it as a counter-argument, is that through her charity Lumos she has given a huge part of her fortune to making the world better for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children.
And that is unquestionably a good thing. Many of us Harry Potter actors have worked with it and seen the work she does up close."
What Isaacs did is truly admirable: he refused to hand the press yet another juicy story about a former franchise actor publicly discrediting J.K. Rowling. Instead, he did something rare in today's bloodthirsty clickbait world. He pointed out the good in a person, accepted that they disagree, and moved on. Nicely done!

For fifty eight years, my boss in Tokyo believed that beef should be sliced as thin as paper.
In Japan, we cook thin meat for four seconds in boiling broth. That is our way.
Then last month, the YouTube algorithm showed Director Sato a video of a man in Texas smoking a brisket.
It changed his life.
On Monday morning, he called me to his desk. His eyes were bloodshot.
"Have you seen this?" he whispered, turning his monitor toward me. "The American pitmaster does not sleep for sixteen hours. He sits by the fire in the dark. He guards the meat like a castle."
I said, "Sir, it is just a barbecue."
He slammed his hand on the desk.
"This is not cooking," he said. "This is a vigil."
Last Saturday was our annual company picnic by the river in Kanagawa. Normally, we grill thin meat and yakisoba for two hours and go home at 2:00 PM.
I arrived at 9:30 AM to help set up.
Director Sato was already there.
I want to be accurate here: he had been sitting in a folding chair since 10:00 PM on Friday night. He was wearing a towel around his head and staring at a massive black barrel smoker he had imported from Oklahoma.
Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS ABANDONED CORPORATE LIFE FOR THE SMOKE.
When we tried to help him, he held up a pair of metal tongs and clicked them twice.
"Step back," he said calmly. "The stall has begun. Nobody opens the lid."
Twelve Japanese accountants stood in complete silence around a barrel for four more hours. Nobody dared to eat a single noodle until he gave the signal.
At 1:45 PM, he sliced the meat. It fell apart on the cutting board.
My boss looked at the pink smoke ring, nodded once, and wiped a single tear from his cheek.
He has already submitted an official budget request for a trailer smoker for next fiscal year.

So many women consistently do this absolutely insane self-report where they characterize "seeing someone as a person" as opposed to and separate from "seeing someone as a potential mate."
