If you can get the boat going before it floods, the boat moving through the water will create enough suction to drain out any water. You just better have a plug waiting for you at your destination.

I, Frankenstein
CGI filled brainless action with demons and gargoyles fighting a secret war. Aaron Eckhart as Frankenstein is stuck in the middle. The whole thing tries to copy the vibe of Underworld and mostly fails. Somehow I still love watching it. It’s just the right kind of bad for me.

Empire Records.
I make references from that movie all the time and nobody ever gets it. Doesn’t stop me.
- Comment on What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't? 2 weeks ago:
It wasn’t the format but the content that makes it hard for me to binge. It’s just so heavy, it becomes overwhelming after a while. I have to step back because it starts impacting my mood negatively.

As much as being out or outed can put you at risk in many places in the world, I don’t think there is an obligation to put yourself at risk by being an activist. That being said, there are ways to provide aid to those in need besides activism.

Same. It’s just not bingeable and I struggle to stick to any show that isn’t.

“Anyone who is a descendant of a resident of the state before 1968 and was adversely affected before the Fair Housing Act of 1968 is eligible.”
I don’t see how this is limited to race.

Look at what humans have done with breeds of dogs. Before we even knew what genetics was, we understood that if you bred two small dogs, the offspring would be small. Then, if you bred those offspring with other small dogs, they would be even smaller still. That’s how we got from a wolf to a Chihuahua. That is how we manipulate the forces of evolution for our benefit.
There are countless little “tells” that species evolve. Human skeletons have a tiny tail. All embryonic mammals look virtually identical. Whales have vestigial pelvis bones. Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics after generations of repeated exposure. Sickle cell anemia is an evolutionary adaptation in human populations frequently exposed to Malaria. Moths have been observed becoming darker in color so their camouflage matches trees darkened by pollution.

- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 months ago:
I think that the thing that made the protests for George Floyd and Covid policies so widespread was people were out of work. The capitalist system has done a very good job of binding us to our jobs. we need a change that will put large amounts of people on the streets with little to lose. An economic collapse might do it.
- Comment on What are some slow acting poisons? 2 months ago:
There was a theory a while back that Napoleon died from arsenic poisoning due to the damp Mediterranean climate causing the decay of a green wallpaper using an arsenic based dye. It didn’t end up being entirely true but he may have been slowly poised by environmental arsenic throughout his life. Here is an article about it.
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the Earth’s crust as metallic crystals or combined with other elements. Being a heavy metal, arsenic bioaccumulates. That is, it builds up in the body over time, so slow poisoning is possible.

- Comment on is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father? 3 months ago:
When I found out my mom voted for Trump the first time, I didn’t speak to her for a year. I only did then because she reached out to say she was wrong (a first for her).
When I explained (more like yelled) why I wasn’t going to have anything to do with her, I told her in detail how she was betraying everything she raised me to be. She used to sponsor the LGBT club at the school where she worked and I told her she was betraying all those kids she said she cared about.
It isn’t a choice between you and Trump. It is a choice between your dad being the type of man he raised you to be, or not.

Ah yes, the author that argues there shouldn’t be a minimum wage and that systemic racism isn’t real. He knows how to make money by telling wealthy white people what they want to hear.
Usually when I hear people complain about the government funding “useless projects” it is either something they don’t understand or something that ends up saving money in the long run.

Which of the listed programs do you think is a waste and why?

It’s not like the people in the government didn’t know about it. If anyone objected to these programs continuing all they had to do was say something. Seems like a bunch of necessary programs nobody in their right mind would object to.

Armed resistance became necessary as soon as Trump won the election. All that is left is to find out if it comes from within the government or from outside it.

- Comment on Why is deportation done instead of imprisonment or making people become documented? In other words, why does deportation exist? 4 months ago:
Racism.
Deportation has always been about keeping the US white. The first immigration law in the US was called the Chinese Exclusion Act and was passed to keep Western states white dominated.
