I was going to mention that this was one of the reasons I like going to the last remaining drive-in theater in my area, since it doesn't do that. Then I realized that it's been quite a while since I've seen a movie there, and decided to check what's playing. 3 of the 4 "now playing" movies and 13 out of 15 "coming soon" movies are sequels or reboots. And now I'm mildly infuriated, too.
That's not the point. The point is that Rep. Thomas Massie is personally in a position to do something about it himself, and needs to shut the fuck up and put his money where his mouth is. As a member of the House of Representatives, there is absolutely nothing stopping him from unilaterally filing articles of impeachment. He doesn't need consensus, he doesn't need the support of party leadership, he doesn't need anybody's permission. He can just do it. Right now.
So will he actually do it, or is he just yet another Trump-ass-licking fascist shitstain with zero credibility?
THEN FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, YOU INEFFECTUAL, CROCODILE-TEAR CRYING, LYING PIECE OF SHIT! YOU COULD INTRODUCE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT RIGHT FUCKING NOW IF YOU ACTUALLY GAVE A DAMN!
$1M equates to $40k/year income in retirement at a 4% SWR (safe withdrawal rate). In 2025, that's not actually a lot, even if you have Social Security on top of it.
If you're not a millionaire by the time you're retired, you're damn near impoverished. The only way for that to count as "middle class" (in the "close to the median income" sense) is if the middle class is destroyed (in the "existing separate and distinct from the lower class" sense).
(INB4 somebody chimes in with "it never was separate and distinct" -- yeah, yeah, I know, working-class solidarity and all that. But you get my point, right?)
In 1953 Mayer interviewed ten male residents of "Kronenberg" (in reality Marburg) to understand how ordinary Germans felt about Nazi Germany.[2][3][4] The town, located in Hesse with a population of 20,000 and a university, was controlled by the United States during the postwar period of occupation.[5] The interviews occurred during Mayer's term at Frankfurt University's Institute for Social Research as a visiting professor.[6] All ten were in the lower middle class.[4] The author was not a German speaker and the men did not speak English.[7]
The interviewees had the following occupations: baking, cabinetmaking, clerking at a bank, collecting of bills, police, sales, studying, tailoring, and teaching. Walter L. Dorn of the Saturday Review wrote that the interviewees were from a pro-Nazi bloc that was the "anti-labor, anti-capitalist, and anti-democratic lower middle class".[5] The tailor had served a prison sentence for setting a synagogue on fire, but the others were never found to have actively attacked Jewish people.[5] Mayer read the official case files of each interviewee.[2]
The author determined that his interviewees had fond memories of the Nazi period and did not see Adolf Hitler as evil, and they perceived themselves as having a high degree of personal freedom during Nazi rule,[8] with the exception of the teacher. Additionally, barring said teacher, the subjects still disliked Jewish people.
One is women not being allowed to positions of power. The other is with women being underrepresented in certain fields (e.g., stem).
I think it's fair to mix them, to an extent, because I think the degree of underrepresentation is often directly proportional to the prestige/pay/power of the field. Both are symptoms of the same underlying issue, which is bigots discounting women's competency and refusing to entrust them with things of importance.
Static pages have been perfectly fit for purpose useful for displaying stuff to the user for literally thousands of years. HTML builds upon that by making it so you don't have to flip through a TOC or index to look up a reference. What more do you want?
For its intended use case of formatting hypertext, HTML isn't as convenient as Markdown (for example), but it's not egregiously cumbersome or unreadable, either. If your HTML document isn't mostly the text of the document, just with the bits surrounded by <p>...</p>s and with some <a>...</a>s and <em>...</em>s and such sprinkled through it, you're doing it wrong.
HTML was intended to be human-writable.
HTML wasn't intended to to be twenty-seven layers of nested <div>s and shit.
The difference is that, typically, the lack of women in male-dominated fields is due to them being actively pushed away from things they want to do, while the lack of men in female-dominated fields is due to those fields being less prestigious/well-paid (often due to being traditionally female) and them not wanting to pick them in the first place. But when they do decide to enter those fields, nobody's actively trying to stop/discourage them.
Superficially there may seem to be similarities in circumstance, but the amount of agency men and women have to enter opposite-gender-dominated careers is vastly different.
