@Janet unavailable in my country. Curse you you tube!!!!🤬🤬🤬
@agitated_trash I'm only old if you catch me listening to the midi soundtrack.

I had to go digging through my archives to find this post I made about Ahmad Best (Jar Jar Binks actor). I am so happy for how things have turned around for him now and yet super sad he had to burden such hate for so long.
Glad that good things ended up working out for him.

If you never watched the video where Ahmad Best (Jar Jar Binks) talks about how close he came to committing suicide, set aside 10 minutes of your day at some point and do so.
It's real easy to forget that person you are throwing all the vitriol at is a real person, and when we do so over something so trivial as a movie...
It's a damn shame.

Boy. Sure seems like Amazon learned their lesson by rebuilding the same warehouse without a storm shelter again, and likely no change in internal policy.
Sure glad that 5 minutes of anger got some change.
Without consistent pressure and consistent follow up, you are being rage farmed.
Remember when everyone was so mad about how Amazon screwed over their workers and got six of them killed due to terrible safety and work place practices?
What do you think happened since Amazon upper management knew all they had to do was wait the new cycle out?
Did anyone even bother following up to see if Amazon even paid the insurance to those people killed?

@awnaves exactly. Looking back there a lot of women in the 00s who got way more hate than they should have.
Not saying they were all saints and/of good people, but that maybe casual misogyny, and in some cases casual racism, set them to be hated far more than was healthy.
^^The start of the US invasion of Iraq was almost 20 years ago.
Too many people still view PTSD as being scared of fireworks. Heck some view PTSD as a cop out, as a case of not being tough enough, etc.
We don't want a world where everyone is so numb to heinous things that we eradicate the inheritent kindness and love in this world.
It's tough to care for someone intent on throwing their life away for reasons they aren't entirely sure of.
Spread love as much and as often as you can.
It's 2023 and one of the better acknowledgements of past bad behavior is from :squints: ... Paris Hilton???
Ignore the headline, because when you read what she wrote, it's less an excuse and more of a "this is what happened, this is why I was wrong, and I know it's not right."
Maybe her publicist is really good and has her saying the right things, but I have watched PTSD ruin many good folks.
Good on her for talking about how those symptoms manifest themselves.

@Say_what_now I'll just moonwalk away to Africa and 😅😅
And now you'll never be able not think of the two together.
Michael Jackson (f. Toto as the backing band 😅) - Human Nature - Thriller
Listen to Africa first and then Human Nature and you'll hear it even if you don't believe it. You'll hear it in the syncopation and patterns. You'll hear it in the little things.
Africa - Toto
Did you know that's Toto, yes *that* Toto, was the backing band in Michael Jackson's Thriller album?
I'm really not kidding here.
I am glad I waited to finally see #Creed2.
Seems like it gets hated on but man they really put some complex, if not heavy handed, emotions in it.
I needed to mature a bit to appreciate it.
Sometimes when you see a movie is the most important part.
@voltronic I sat on the opinion for a day or so and talked with a coworker.
His rationale was that because Din had blinders on due to the spectacle of finally reaching a mythical place, he was nowhere near on the top of his game.
@voltronic I am enjoying this season so far. I am glad that Mrs Sackoff is getting to be the best Starbuck that the star wars universe could ever have.
My one gripe with the season so far is, to me at least, it feels like they got rid of all of Mando's common sense in order to move the story forward.
Mando's resourcefulness was what made him super interesting but so far he's like lol why would I ever be suspicious about anything.
@th3j35t3r but we *needed* her for her content creation.
We were just lucky that some of us have been here for almost 5 years, she was gonna be the one to make this place work.

Thanks in advance. Go Bills!
@janallmac I fell down the rabbit hole and I've been watching this videos and dying of laughter for about 2 hours now.
Problem is that I was supposed to get up to get ready for work about 20 minutes ago 😑😑😂
Sorry boss, i just needed to watch someone making fun of food abominations
This lady, Tamara Mallory, has at least kept me laughing through a bit of insomnia. She's the "Everybody is so creative" lady and her videos are just the perfect response to all of the horrors of food videos you keep seeing.
But this one, right here, I haven't laughed this hard all year.
If you give me one 1 1/2 minutes of your time for 2023, let it be this.
