Seems like this is the fault of the boys not taking their studies seriously. I don't see a need to intervene here.

Dude. Go look up the rate at which boys are medicated vs girls at the elementary level. Schools are literally drugging boys instead of giving them space to be themselves all under the guise of an ADHD diagnosis.

It’s Titanic, hands down.

It’s a complete narrative and genre departure for him. So much so, that everyone thought it would sink him.

The rest of his films are all science fiction (True Lies being the lone exception). Dude stepped out of his comfort zone and created a historical costume drama on par with and as significant as Gone With the Wind.

What’s more: it was such a passion project that he forewent his salary in exchange for profit sharing. If the movie was as much of a disaster as the ship itself, Cameron would have made nothing.

That’s a solid analysis.

I think last year encapsulates why the playoffs don’t work.

Saying Ohio State was the “best” team in college football in 2024 is laughable. They’re just a team that got hot at the right time and were gifted a home game and a rematch in the first two rounds. In any other era of college football, they wouldn’t have even sniffed the natty.

One of my good friends is in his 80s and has voted Democrat his whole life. He has no idea what the Democratic Party really is today. He just continues to vote for them because “they’ve done so many good things to help people.” He doesn’t understand that those programs weren’t put into place to help people, but to control them.

There’s a house across the street from us that is a rental property. The people living there bolted quickly overnight in January or February. We think they were here illegally. Apparently, they tore the place up because the landlord spent 4 or 5 months renovating it. It’s sat empty since they moved out.

One of these days, someone is going to walk into a mosque in a Western country and do to them what they’re doing to others. Unfortunately, we’re moving into a society where a lot of people will cheer the death of innocent people when it happens.

Priced out of the labor market by immigrants who will work for cheaper wages, without benefits, and for tax free cash under the table.

Oh, and public schools have been telling young men they should go to college instead of learning a trade.

But then I read their books and watched their videos where they call us useless eaters and openly view our utility to them as waning in the face of AI, robotics and climate change.

But they’re totally fine selling us whatever bs they want us to buy.

If they think there’s going to be some utopia where they’re all so rich that they’ll all get along, then they’re terribly foolish with their wishes and philosophy.

People need purpose. If they really do believe this (and I’m sure some of them do), then they’re setting up a terribly meaningless future for themselves.

I’ll just watch an old Kesha video on YouTube. Looks to be about on par with this.

I’ll save an hour and 56 minutes of my time.

Please please please let them do this. It won’t work out for them the way they think it will.
