Much more accurate than guessing is not a strong endorsement.

It didn’t work for me. Why not?

Sex is not binary. There are at least 30 genetic combinations of genes responsible for primary sex organs naturally occurring in human biology, and the presentation of secondary sexual characteristics runs a full spectrum of different phenotypes.

Further, the neurological and social processes of transgender identification are biological processes.

Gender is a social construct that describes the majority phenotypes, but there are far more outliers than the bigots would have you believe, and the science backs that up at every level.

“Biological sex” is LGBTQA++plus something we haven’t even discovered yet. And there’s no evidence of bathroom incidents involving trans individuals where they weren’t the victims.

Also, your question reminded me of something my biology professor would say: “Ignorance is not asking the question.” Good job being curious.

Yeah, you’re right, but this is why I don’t want dialogue. Just vroom vroom kersh-splode. “Aktually, I keep a copy of the Romeo and Juliet law in my wallet cause-” No. Stop it. Bad Michael. No talking. Just cars driving and crashing.

Biology does not support this viewpoint. We should stop calling it “biological sex” and just call it bigotry.

Can it just be 100 minutes of car chases and crashes and shit? Like if there was zero dialogue, I’d be OK with it. Michael Bay can do car chases, and that’s what the OutRun game was. No story, no deeper meaning, just recklessly driving a red testarosa around Southern California.

Because McDonald’s is the cheaper alternative to eating at the movie. Most of the places near me will bring a shitty bar food to your seat in exchange for a mortgage payment. If you make the mistake of going hungry, you’ll leave poor.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was a phenomenal film crafted with great care by experts. Comparing self-described mid-market spy films to that one is like comparing your house painter to Van Gogh. It’s not that they can’t be that good, but if that’s your benchmark, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

I think the more troubling thing is that a filmmaker who made a mid-market spy thriller is just now discovering that audiences have abandoned theaters as the preferred venue. Theaters are too expensive, and wages are too low, for people to just drop $100 on a Friday night watching average movies and eating shitty popcorn. We have too many options, and too little disposable income to tolerate the leveraged abuse of consumers. For 40 years, theaters have squeezed every drop of profit from their privileged market position, and now they cannot afford to keep the lights on.

If you want to make money making average films, you need to meet viewers where they are, at home on their couch.

Then they can take themselves to a cafe and buy a tea or coffee. This is about what all the schools are permitted to serve the students. Yes, some are 17 or 18, and some are 5 or 6 years old. Sugar and caffeine are the two most addictive substances widely available to children, and few things manufactured are as profitable as caffeinated sugar water. Put it in a bottle with fancy colors and a cool logo, have some social media influencers plug the drink, and then find a captive audience that’s sleep deprived, facing extreme pressure to perform, and too young and impulsive to make long-term healthy decisions. That’s called a business model.

Elementary school age kids don’t drink hot tea usually. Maybe in England, but that seems like providing kettles for all the kids might be a bit of a burn hazard.

I’m not suggesting we start carding everyone who buys a soda, but schools are a controlled environment. Just don’t sell caffeinated beverages at the schools.

Botttled iced tea is mostly sugar, with just enough caffeine to make it addictive. It doesn’t belong in schools.

Children don’t need any caffeine.

Liars.

Feels like a stunt to stir controversy.

I think there’s a fine line between victim-blaming and identifying an object lesson. We all understand why people started using twitter, and people are creatures of habit. But this is an example of why people should stop using twitter. We’re not saying “this is your fault because you’re stupid if you’re still on twitter.” The message is “this should serve as a wake up call to anyone stuck in their habits.”

I mean, if you work on something, even if it’s shit, you still want to share it with the world. The idea that the movie is complete and they just weren’t going to release it is understandably upsetting for the people who made it. The actors, the writers, the animators, that one elevated extra who can apply for a SAG card because they got a line in the movie, seeing it on screens is a big deal for those people.

I’m looking forward to it. I hope it doesn’t suck, because then you’re going to have a bunch of analyst dipshits and WB execs acting like they were right to put it on the shelf.

Firehose of bullshit.

Oh they’re actually releasing the movie?
