This comes up a lot, and I really don’t know where it comes from. Who is telling you that you’re responsible for the misdeeds of others? Seriously, point that out, because I’m in my mid forties, I’m a white cishet American man, and I’ve never felt like I was being blamed for the sins of people who look and fuck like me. Really, it just sounds like a conservative strawman talking point, because nobody does this.
Frankly, I was going to say almost the opposite. Conservatives are appealing to young men by decrying the “woke” process of breaking down those stereotypes. It’s a reaction to those “traditional” masculine traits being challenged by a more enlightened society.
The key is not breaking down those gender norms, but rechanneling that masculine energy and “gender pride” into something healthy and beneficial. We need to reframe the conversation, because when you attack, people instinctively defend. Instead, we should model the new masculinity, one where being tough means being confident enough to stand out or be yourself. Where being a bro means being a friend, not a douchebag. Real men have the strength to admit their faults and ask for help. Real power is punching up, not down, and real bravery is accepting people for who they are.
Contrast someone like Joe Rogan with Pedro Pascal. Which one is a “Real Man™”? Which one should we celebrate and focus on? Boys need role models, because we don’t know how to handle our hormones at an age when everything is confusing. If you tell them their instincts are wrong, they will retreat to a safe space where someone else will tell them that society is wrong and they should be as gross and misogynistic as they can be.
Real men are creative. Real men are kind. Real men are curious. Real men are sincere. Real men admit mistakes and accept consequences. Real men lift others up. Real men are able to ask for help. Real men are comfortable with their sexuality, and are not afraid of exploring their preferences.
All children are born selfish and frightened. We have to learn to be better through empathy. Without positive role models, we cannot learn to overcome those selfish impulses, and we cannot stand up to the bullies that will try to sell the red pill.
Because no matter what we do, there will always be conservative dipshits talking about how oppressed they are because they can’t insult people by calling them “girly” or “gay” or “retarded” anymore. There will always be angry gym rats who think big biceps and a fast car will fix their insecurities. There will always be bullies, and we should always stand up to them.
Also, every boy should watch Ted Lasso. Seriously, there has never been a better breakdown of male stereotypes than that show.
Customs isn’t the organization that does that. If you’re a target for espionage, someone at the NSA or CIA or somesuch organization will find ways to tap your devices, but they don’t do this to every phone imported to the country. Just consider the sheer volume of data that would produce, and the number of analysts who would need to review it. I wouldn’t assume privacy, though. Act like they are watching everything.
Yeah, iirc he got the diagnosis and just told his agent to say yes to literally everything he could do.
I suppose comics have done that. Like Seinfeld worked bits into the show, especially in the early seasons. But that was all Jerry’s stand up. Roseanne was the same early on, many of the sitcom premises and monologues were from Barr’s stand up routines. But it was never like weekly guests got an opportunity to film and edit a tight five. I honestly can’t think of another movie or show that did it, except maybe talk shows? But then it’s still a performance in front of an audience. You can’t workshop a line or a pause during the Late Show, unless it’s a satirical talk show like Between Two Ferns or Eric Andre.
Young Bruce Willis was hilarious and nuanced. Hudson Hawk, Death Becomes Her, 12 Monkeys, the Jackal, and of course Moonlighting. He was willing to do wacky and silly and serious, and created memorable characters. He deserves to be remembered for that. The recent cash grabs should be ignored when considering his body of work. Pretty much everything since the Sin City sequel.
That’s because they were all doing their best comic routines against another excellent comic. They could tweak the timing and the delivery and do all their best stuff as good as it can be done to the best possible audience. The premise was perfect for it.
Conroy’s Bruce Wayne is as close to his “normal” speaking voice as I’ve ever heard, but he makes it sound like an affect in ways that are hard to describe. He was truly a great one.
Well, it could be really bad, or it might only be a little bit bad.
Israel has nuclear weapons, Iran has been trying to develop nuclear weapons and probably has them, and both sides believe God is on their side.
As I understand it, they used three nails.
Nailed it in one.
The same way we held accountable the perpetrators of the genocides in Rwanda and Armenia and Tibet and Darfur and Myanmar and Bosnia and Lebanon and Indonesia.
They’re not the reason we can’t get loans. Greed is the only reason we can’t get loans. Don’t waste your resentment on fools while the capitalists have their hands in your pockets.
Did you mean to just post a still image? Or is there more?
I don’t disagree with your reasoning, but both of them are in their forties.
Yes, good call out. It’s also good to get some oil on the gasket before installation.
The reason that an oil change should take time is that it takes a while for all of the used oil to drain out. That’s why commenters are recommending you do it yourself, because you can leave the car for 20 minutes to just drain. Then you remove the filter, and don’t be surprise if more oil drains out. Replace the filter and then refill with oil.
Quickie Lube places that promise a 5 minute change are either lying about the time or lying about changing the oil. You would also control how frequently the filters are changed. You don’t have to change the filter as often as the oil, but certainly every other oil change. I replace mine every time, but I recognize that’s probably unnecessary.
All in, the process will take you about an hour, maybe longer the first time you do it. A pro with all of the equipment laid out and a proper garage can cut it to 30 minutes at best.
