In the American Midwest at least, it varies by household. You basically just pay attention to what your host does.

Used to be less common to remove them, but at least as far back as the nineties, it was a thing to be aware of.

For a similar reason, I’ve gotten a kick out of the back seat shots in Bluey:

They do (mostly) keep the house surprisingly clean, though

The only incident like this I can remember is Firefly:

Simon: “Are you Alliance?”

Jubal: “Am I a lion? …I don’t really think of myself as one. Though I do have a mighty roar!”

Simon: “…I said, are you Alliance”…

Jubal: “Oh. I thought you said…” Points gun more at Simon “Where’s your sister?”

I like it because it doesn’t really drive the plot or anything, it’s just the first time we see Jubal Early misstep, and seem awkward.

That was my first thought - aren’t homosexual relationships documented in Greek and Roman culture, among others?

That sounds very traditional to me!

I remember a lot more of this kind of encouragement from churchgoers, and it was usually well-intentioned there too.

mostly a kids show… been permanently paralyzed from the neck down.

…did he get better?!

Similarly, when a movie scientist/engineer insists a thing can’t be done, until an authority figure chews them out/threatens them. Then, there’s suddenly a breakthrough.

There’s other ways the person in charge can help!

I think their world view just needs more information. Bill Gates is a horrible person, who has had an excellent PR team whitewashing his name for at least a decade. And unlike Elon Musk, he doesn’t step out from behind the PR team’s cover.

We just need to keep bringing it to people’s attention.

I remember looking at the change in overall death rate for US citizens after the first year of lockdowns; when people were saying COVID deaths were being over reported.

As I recall, the last time we had such a large spike in overall death rate was in 1918 - when we were dealing with the Spanish flu and WW1.

I thought Incredibles predated the Disney takeover? Otherwise I agree

Wasn’t there just a story yesterday, where they keep finding hanging “suicides” that were hogtied? Trying to find it again, thought that was in the camps

You sigh, but… Porn is the choice of the bonobo, not the chimpanzee, no?

Besides, the atomic bomb isn’t really a fair comparison - we set up a whole crash program in wartime to figure out how to make a big weapon, of course we used it as a weapon first!

This also explains to me why he’s so freaked out about the Epstein files in the first place. I don’t think he really understands how strongly a lot of his bade feels about the pedophilia.

Letting slip that he gave a blowjob, though? I can see him panicking endlessly about that getting out.

Yeah, I’m curious too - I’ve largely ignored her, so I have no idea if her language changed after Kirk.

If leadership couldn’t get even one of the eight to reconsider on something this important to the entire party, or wouldn’t, then they’re not effective leadership.

One or two, sure, sometimes.

But eight of the 44? Nearly 1/5 of the Senate democrats, all at once? At least one was saying that they were “keeping leadership in the loop”, too.

Eh, maybe she’s been through this a few times!

Really though, this sort of behavior isn’t unusual for most kids. I always assumed the point of the story was to tell kids not to do this (or you might get eaten!)

If you’re starving and just eat everything at once, you’ll just throw it right back up.

Better to eat a small portion that’ll settle well, go rest for a while, maybe lay down, then come back when it’s had some time to digest.

Ah, thanks for the correction!

As well as it did in the Revolutionary War, I’m sure!
