FFS, it’s not that it was in Spanish, or even that the dude was gay or whatever.
It’s about meritocracy taking a back seat to a political message.
All the artists you mentioned were well known and very popular in the U.S. The degree to which they were controversial was intentionally dialed down.
Remember the outrage over Janet Jackson’s titty? The FCC, and the general public want the halftime show to be family entertainment that unites, not divides.
The activism is the problem, not the Spanish.

Nah. The woke types just like to agitate the “normal, white males”.
It’s the same impulse that made Bud Light, a beer predominantly consumed by old white guys and at frat parties, run an ad with a high strung screamer tranny.
Who were they trying to sell beer to with that ad? The apple-tini crowd?
Nope. It was just an FU. Nothing more complicated than that.

re: Tranny joined girls wrestling & stuck his fingers in opponents vagina

Bass man, STFU. Nobody likes you.
Okay, I have a nuanced take on this story.
In (male) wrestling, it is known that sometimes a finger will press against an a-hole during that turning/flipping move. It’s almost always inadvertent, but still, to be on the receiving end of it is very disturbing.
Some wrestlers are shite birds and will do it intentionally more aggressively than necessary for the very reason that it’s a psychological weapon. Commonly referred to as “checking the oil” or “he got his oil checked”.
It’s looked down upon, but mostly tolerated.
With female wrestling, I have no idea if those athletes do a similar “oil check” up the vagina. I would assume it’s much less tolerated.
Having said all that, I will state emphatically that I have always opposed mixed gender wrestling. The closeness of the bodies in this sport is antithetical to a civilized society.
Did the tranny wrestler intentionally stick his digits in her poon? I’d say its possible, but its also possible or even likely that he was just applying the hold aggressively.
Its even possible that the female was hyper-aware of a tranny’s hand on her crotch, and I would not blame her one bit! Since I don’t have a vag, I don’t know if a finger in the labia folds feels just as “insertive” as actually inside the vaginal opening.
Maybe the tranny was taking advantage of the hand on crotch to cop a feel? It is certainly a possibility that gay male wrestlers sometimes do the same.
I still think mixed gender wrestling should be banned.

I think you’re making my point for me. I agree they go together. Who is separating them but the very people who like to say, “love is love”, and other such niceties.
Tangential discussion, I’d happily engage in, but for now, the point stands that there are two great commandments, and the SECOND one is to love your neighbor, AS YOURSELF.

Because words only represent a partial or unclear symbol of what they represent, it’s easy for the victim-narrative types (neo-marxists) to manipulate language, often intentionally obscuring true definitions by use of weaponized ambiguity.
What is love and more pertinently, what is hate?
Asking someone to conform to basic laws and traditions such as immigration laws is not hateful. Holding them accountable is not hateful.
Murdering them with much pain and suffering, that would be hateful. Returning them to where they came from is not hateful.

Matthew 22:1-14
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet
22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. 4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.
7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.
9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.
13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
True Christianity is not merely the church of being nice. Here, Christ himself, speaking in a parable, throws out the person who is not dressed properly for the wedding, ie. Is not conforming to the ways of being a follower of Christ.
quote:
they neutered him bc Jimmy would have taken the 7yrs and went to prison scheming his next move.
Well, as you say, to each his own.
I think the best way to understand Jimmy is as a tragic figure. “Slippin’ Jimmy” and later, Saul Goodman, were the manifestations of his broken self.
Chuck was a tragic figure as well. Think about how smart and accomplished Chuck was as a lawyer, and yet he was a miserable person. He went to extremes and it cost him his relationship with his wife, whom he dearly loved.
But even more so, Chuck’s anger at and jealousy of Jimmy was palpable and ultimately his undoing.
Jimmy didn’t apply himself, and he certainly didn’t conform to laws or to norms, but both he and Chuck knew that Jimmy was the smarter one of the two.
It was their battling that did them both in, and it seemed that Jimmy was prepared to properly join Chuck’s world as a legitimate lawyer but Chuck undermined him.
We come to realize that Chuck threw Howard under the bus, so to speak, by making Jimmy think it was Howard who blocked him at HHM. Chuck was therefore partially responsible for Jimmy’s treatment of Howard that got Howard killed. Howard would have hired Jimmy at HHM, and the story arc would have been very different.
If Jimmy (Saul) would have gotten over on everyone in the end, and received a ridiculously short sentence, the play would have been a tragedy. Because Jimmy was able to overcome his inner Saul, by finding true love and acceptance from Kim, the play was a comedy (in the Greek duality model).
quote:
If you're going to say, he threw himself on the grenade to save Kim, the only reason she was on a grenade was bc he lied to get her to his hearing and then he announced it was all a lie. He didn't do anything to take away from her admission of guilt to Howard's wife.
Threw himself on a grenade is not how I would phrase it.
Jimmy/Saul was a duality of personality, as was Kim the brilliant lawyer / Kim the mischievous and rebellious teenager in a woman’s body.
The murder of Howard rocked them both, but they handled it in different ways. Kim went into full regression mode. She was a shell of a person, hiding physically and emotionally.
Jimmy went into a shell too. He became Gene.
Only when his existence was threatened, he became Only Saul again, a very reckless and vindictive version.
It was the love of Kim, and Kim’s act of admission, that jolted Jimmy to come back into the real person he was supposed to be.
Saul was willing and prepared to pull every immoral and manipulative trick to get out of (or greatly reduce) his consequence. It was his love and respect for Kim, and his guilt for bringing out the worst in her, that convinced him to take responsibility (or sorts) for the death of Howard.
Yes, Slippin’ Jimmy (Saul) “lost”, but he won the love and respect of Kim back. The world will forever see them for the monsters they became (especially Jimmy), but the two of them know that they won a victory over their darker selves.
I’m definitely in the minority, but I thought the final episodes of BCS were brilliant. The show creators made one of the most creative and unique story arc redemption stories in all of dramatic arts, IMO.

Having had a long career in corrections, I can tell you that the research has been done. The numbers are unequivocal and bleak.
Rehabilitation is a very very low statistical possibility for nearly every violent criminal, especially multiple offenders. The behavior, personality traits, and attitudes of violent offenders is baked into the human pie as early as 2 yeas old.
On the other hand, incarceration as a deterrence, both individually and as a society, is easily documented as somewhat effective.
Certainly on the individual level, an incarceration person is not a threat to commit a crime on the general public while they are incarcerated. Increased jail time = fewer crimes committed by the person over their lifetime.
And social deterrence is also well documented, especially when considered along with other social structures that magnify that effect. In other words, if an individual believes there is a reasonable chancethey will get caught and suffer punishment through incarceration, they are much less likely to commit the same crime if they think there is “soft justice”.

This list is a powerful argument against the anit-ID crowd. As if Schumer couldn’t look more ridiculous, but this does it.
Let me get this straight, a woman who thinks she’s a man, and takes male hormones, is going to compete against other women?
And that’s okay with the Olympic competition committee?
And that’s okay with her competitors?
And this is supposed to be considered brave?

The Dark Horse podcast with Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying did a couple of episodes about seed oils.
First thing to note is that plants evolved strategies to keep animals from eating them, as well as strategies to make themselves more spreadable/productive.
So not all seeds are the same in toxicity to humans because they employ different survival strategies. Each seed needs to be considered independently, but most of them that require chemical processing to ve edible are not good for you.
