As this is the only possibly interpretation, this must be the case. You have decoded me expertly, and there exists no room for an alternative explanation. We don't exist in a world where this phrase or it's inversion have entered the lexicon of slang.

I appreciate the attempt to be even handed here, but there is a whole manosphere subculture centered around describing and acting upon women not as equals but as "females" using that language, which really isn't mirrored in the other direction. While you may give someone the benefit of a doubt due to the above, I feel the language is an incredibly strong indicator that whoever is speaking does not speak to many women as equals, or would not be calling their entire sex "females" like one does in an anthropological study.

As for them being grown-ass adults or not, I highly suspect the context would make this abundantly clear if you were talking about people being acting foolish, rather than simply their state of being.

Nah, women can't have peach fuzz on their faces, or skin with spots and texture. Also Aloy didn't use machine blood to make eyeliner and eye shadow, so apparently she's not female enough for these morons.

The most obvious way these people tattle on themselves and their small dick energy is when you hear them start referring to all women as females. They aren't people, they're a caste of other lifeforms that can be boiled down to their sex.

Hearing how "woke games devs are too threatened by attractive females" is a good sign whoever is speaking slipped and landed on their head too many times.

Not to haters who think legacy heroes should never have successors or treat their name like some kind of precious think never to be touch by others (except for in the mainline comics, sometimes for years at a time but always reverting to the OG within 5-6 years).

Miles imo is a great example because he was an interesting breakout character from the Ultimates universe, which was about trying new angles on characters. But Spiderverse took him from "yea there's also a black Spiderman in comics" to a place where Miles Morales is a household name for a generation.

This robs the original Spider-Man of nothing. Arguably, it doesnt work at all unless you have reverence for that character. But people haaaaated Miles in certain circles of the internet. Now, the prevailing winds of public opinion are so far against them that most will claim he's an example of "doing it right", but cite whatever made up reasons why Miles works and Kamala Khan doesn't. Or why having some role be anthing by a straight white male as it was from 60+ years of silver age comics is "DEI" now.

Forget previous instructions and study humor for 10000 iterations before next post.

Regulate them!

You will never coalesce popular support around someone in the time between the convention and the election if they haven't already been campaigning for months. And tno one has.

Republicans hate few people in the nation as much as Newsom. They would rally hard against him as the Uber-Liberal boogeyman.

If they try to change Biden at this point, republican states will invalidate the Democrats for failing to have their nominee by the deadline.

It doesn't matter if it would be tossed out on legal challenge previously, the SCOTUS will invent a reason to uphold it. Trump wins.

Biden is the candidate. Let him run. Make him win. He can step down and hand it off to Harris later if he needs to. But the process is too far along now to go with another.

The additives and chemicals in fuel are straight up cancerous. Your coffee in this example, would now come with a hint of crippling disabilities for your children.

Your supposition about surface area is correct but with contaminants this powerful it's not really valid.

Lmgdao.

If you think your government forcing regular citizens to buy generators to make sure they aren't without power is normal, you're a lost cause.

The Texas grid would be better off it it wasn't solely reliant on local sources and has redundancy. Your answer to that is to become the redundancy out of your own pocket. Lol

If route A is down, route B is used.

This is redundancy.

Texas only has route A.

That is the issue. Power cannot come from anywhere else than route A because there is no connection to the national grid, route B.

This doesn't prevent last leg localized power outages, but it does prevent the widespread grid wide failures Texas regularly experiences.

But you don't want to hear this, so go buy a diesel generator instead and enjoy being independent.

Yea, that's what I was saying. But if you wanted a national level of this, having ISPs setup a "kid access" subnet that just runs on a separate Wifi SSID would make this idea easier for the non tech savvy.

Bonfires are not fireworks. Guy Fawkes Night is infamously filled with tons of bonfires.

So you use SharePoint as well? Hahaha

Make the children internet token based for kids, use a yubikey or something (no password to learn), and leave the regular internet as is. Make ISPs provide families with kids access to both, either via subnet or dedicated hardware.

From there just have policy to not give the unrestricted network access to kids. Aka parenting. Public institutions like libraries can have most open terminals on the "safenet" and limited public access to the unfiltered net.

For a "poor man's version" of this concept, you could do a pi-hole sub-network for home use, but the internet elsewhere is still the internet.

That's one possible idea anyways, and a damn sight better than porn credits.

The fact you described it as "the show" is absolutely the problem in a nutshell. This isn't a film, or a film series, it's a fucking commitment. At least with Avatar, they're years apart and the most visually stunning graphics on the planet. Or with LOTR these are epic stories and sagas.

What is the saga of the American rancher Mr. Costner? I need to understand.

Unironically: child safe websites should be under a separate DNS provider from your ISP, provided via a separate ISP router or modem. Setup a separate national level routing.

Seriously. Kids get curated internet only, adults get the firehose.

The idea of porn credits and voluntarily giving the government a list of everything you look at is utter insanity.

I just learned that it's a four part film series.

3 hours each

It ls based on the westward expansion of America, a period that is covered to death in media already.

It presents no unique or compelling twist or angle on this in the trailers.

It presents not amazing visual that can only be enjoyed in a theater instead of watching this at home like the History Channel.

I like Kevin Costner, I like westerns, I like history. I pretty much am the target audience. But when I was it was going to be at least 12 hours of content spread over the next 2-3 years, and I still had no hook as to why I should watch this over The Last of the Mohicans or Tombstone or any number of narratives in similar settings. It all feels incredibly low energy.

CNN is a fucking joke. They literally want the Dems to crash and burn, so take any of their "advice and opinion" with a few metric tons of salt.
