and let's explore what it is they were saying specifically. they believe that Mr. Rogers was a 'evil, evil, man', because he told young kids 'everyone is special'.
that's what these evil, evil, people took issue with. a person on public television, not motivated by stacks of money, told some young kids they were worth something.
i also want to point out that this is the man they called evil. a man who went before one of the most powerful governments in the world, and talked about what was important to him.
in and of itself that's not that unusual. people do it all the time. what made this time different is what was important to that person, and more specifically why it should be important to all of us.
we had to get one for a young dog we took in. he was used to food being scarce, and would gulp down any given to him. the busy bowls make them work for it, so it slows them down a bit.

for those that don't know: the writers were using Lisa, in a very poorly made costume, to make a visual gag, and take a jab at Florida all in one fell, subtle, swoop.
even back then the state was a joke and the writers were having fun with that. a shitload of comedy does this. they use a stupid joke as a guise to tell a deeper joke. sometimes to throw people off, a stupid joke will be just that, a dumb gag with no real deeper meaning. most of the time that's thrown in as a sort of variety from all the times the stupid jokes are referencing something more meaningful.
the court jester can sometimes get away with telling the truth.

as much as i disagree with him on certain things, Mike Rowe had a good point with a vid he did a long time ago. sometimes your passion isn't what will pay what you need. it can still be your passion, but you might need to look elsewhere for what you want to do for a living. what he was getting at was to not overlook new things, that you might actually like as a job, even if it wasn't your passion.
for example, few people choose HVAC repair as a passion, but it pays well, and might be stimulating for someone looking for a technical type job.
personally my passion is working with computers, but it can be hard to make a living at it, at least at a consumer level. but the thing is i really like helping the average joe find GOOD ways to spend their money. i'd have loved to have graduated college and worked on enterprise grade stuff, but i have a learning disability and can't pass Algebra. this means i can't get my degree.
They’ve been doing it for a very long time now. I’m currently using a 2015 model, Dell Tablet. It has Linux support. Cost me about $250 (with a copy of W10 Pro), a few years back. I also got it with the hard shell keyboard dock, effectively making it a net book.
It’s been a great device, but probably isn’t what OP is looking for.
for anyone who needs to see an example of a more dangerous conspiracy theory, look no further than the 'Stop the Steal' movement, that resulted in numerous lives being wrecked during the Jan 6 Insurrection.
that's because it wasn't. it still isn't. the best hardware in the world won't do anything for you if there's no software to use it. with the iVRy dev working on this, and with Sony's announcement, they probably realized it was a inevitability for someone to crack the software problem.
like the kid that played Anakin in Star Wars. he caught so much shit over it, that he gave up acting all together.
In 2012, Lloyd explained that his decision to retire from acting in 2001 was due to bullying at school and harassment by the press, both in response to his role in The Phantom Menace.
not every joke is going to land with everyone. sometimes they're not even jokes, just pointing out absurdities.
if they don't land with you, i wouldn't stress it. sometimes the humor is extremely nerdy. it's like the Far Side or Monty Python. it's not everyone's cup of tea, and that's OK.
when the delivery fails, i like to default to a old Mitch Hedberg joke.
That joke was funnier than you people acted.
if dude wants to really fuck with his teacher, he should show up with a detailed report on the creation of his joke, how the execution of his joke failed, and why the audience was wrong to misunderstand it. possible bonus points would be to veeeeery subtly insinuate that the joke was just over their heads, as meta humor sometimes is.
you could conclude the study with thoughts on how subjective and varied humor is. maybe bring up how that joke slayed when you performed it for your test audience, but then fell flat with the actual audience.
for example if she flys into a airport on the Eastern side of the country, you'd just contract out a car there. many airports even have multiple car rental companies on site to handle such things. for more upscale stuff, there are usually smaller flight companies around the airport, and they handle all the details.
you just fly the people in, they get the car at that location, and then drive to wherever they're going.
in the case of musicians, if they're on tour they usually have busses they charter, along with large semi trucks to drive the gear and stage stuff.
really that depends on a number of factors. like how big the jet is, etc.
some of those planes are pretty small.
my friend and i worked with a guy for many years, that was also a pilot. he was a pretty frugal dude, but was fairly smart with his money. flying his small plane was a bit of a hobby for him. he owned a store location in the city we were in, but also had another store location about a hour/hour-and-half drive. sometimes he would take his plane, as it was actually cheaper and faster to go to the airport, get his plane prepped, fly out, do whatever he had to do, and fly back.
undoubtedly he was using this as an excuse to fly his plane a bit. but i definitely know he wouldn't have been doing it if it was costing him any significant amount of money. he wasn't loaded, and was always about saving some money.
Obviously I can understand why mysoginists are hated upon, As their belief is all women are trash or men are superior etc. But why are incels also generally hated upon? They are lacking in a way that makes them unable to gey in a relationship, but that shouldn’t necessarily mean they are mysoginists, right?...
simple misunderstanding. you see in the eyes of the court, he's innocent until proven guilty. in the eyes of the police officer, there are no innocents, only suspects.
my fave is when they hassle some normal person, and even after finding they did nothing wrong, or were guilty of no crimes, the police will refer to them as a suspect, like you see here.
like they'll run a search warrant or something and then say, well the person was suspected of having marijuana. did the person actually have anything? no. but he was suspected of it.
pigs eat shit, and i can probably count on one hand the number of them i know that i would be sad if something happened to them. the overwhelming majority of them could suddenly cease to exist and the country would be a MUCH better place for it.
