Looking back on my childhood, I see that my Mom had anxiety issues and there were a lot of cases where she was white knuckling to get things done while having a panic attack. She had developed some maladaptive behaviors to deal with this, in part because mental health wasn’t a thing back when she grew up.

It sounds like your mom had her own maladaptive traits.

The issue with Linux is going to be if there will be a single distro that dominates or if it will be more distributed. Right now, it looks like Google and Valve are the closest to making dominant distros, but I can see at least one EU government one being created as well. If there are few distros, then I can see development getting locked to those distros rather than across all Linux.

The same thing happened with Android, Google ended up controlling Android so the open source side got hollowed out and the closed source side controlled by Google became necessary to running Android.

It is important to understand the context of who defined it.

It was mainly defined by queer people in various Latin communities as a self descriptor. LGBT acceptance within the various Spanish speaking communities in general is nowhere near universal, which explains why adoption of Latinx isn’t a thing.

I’d only use the descriptor if I knew that a lot of people there within earshot wanted to use that description.

And, along with this, you have to be able to show that the writer(s) had access to this information while writing the script. To give you an hour long media analysis video to watch, here’s some Lindsay Ellis:

The summary of it was that animators saw The Thief and the Cobbler and might have used some of what they saw as inspiration for some of the character design in Aladdin, but the writer of Aladdin didn’t have access to the movie so Disney could credibly say they didn’t steal the script.

How rich do you need to be to deal with the legal fallout of getting caught drunkenly street racing?

While only under construction, Iraq is building out a port and railroad facility so that Iraq can receive cargo and put it on a train to Turkey then over into the Schengen Area. This is being built as the Suez Canal has been seen to reach its practical limit in shipping capacity and Iraq is trying to capitalize on it by building an alternate gateway.

An Iranian toll on this traffic could have major impacts on how this infrastructure gets used.

A lot of them work for various non-profits as a way to support various causes. A majority of charities are run by the families of the wealthy.

A lot of high prestige but low pay organizations will have a lot of wealthy people working there. This includes museums, publishing houses, and other high art media.

You also have those who don’t have jobs exactly, but hobbies. They get into collecting enough of a thing to fill their own gallery. They have causes they contribute to on a part time basis. They may have a local estate where they get to pretend to be farmer.

It isn’t all going into business with Daddy.

The Army has trying to get more of them for over a decade. The Air Force doesn’t want them.

The whole reason why there isn’t a modern equivalent to the A-10 is because the Air Force knew that said plane wouldn’t be able to survive in a conflict where the enemy had any surface-to-air attack capability.

It also doesn’t help when private train companies didn’t want to run passenger service.

Is this related to Epstein or something else entirely?

The only “influencer” that I can think of who has done anything involved in Hollywood was John Green, and he isn’t the typical influencer. Even then, his path there was to use his fame to sell his product, books, and then that product became something that Hollywood could turn into a movie.

Outside of that, I think the Five Nights at Freddy’s movies had influencers in the cast, but I don’t see them using this to build an acting career yet.

Usually, it isn’t that an influencer becomes a movie star, but a movie star becomes an influencer since the star can use their same to build a following online. That’s likely why studios use the follower count as a metric in getting actors for certain roles; it is a way to determine fame and the ability of the actor to pull in crowds to see a movie.

The American rail network was built mainly as private enterprise regulated by public agencies. This worked when rail had an effective monopoly on long distance travel, but fell apart when other modes could compete. When a major railroad (Penn Central) went bankrupt, the federal government relieved all private companies from having to maintain passenger service and the long distance trips went into Amtrak in the 1970’s.

Until Biden, there was little public demand for building out rail transit. The Interstate system built out a decent highway network and air deregulation meant that flights got very cheap.

Whatever gets us all in that autistic kid’s snowglobes.

Oh, you!

For Tony Stark, being poor makes him more of a Peter Parker equivalent. Also, having a suit of high tech armor likely means he’s sourcing his components from some very wealthy companies anyway. I feel like owning the companies feels a lot more moral than stealing from them.

For Bruce Wayne, being poor makes him more equivalent to the Punisher. By himself, Batman has to be at odds in hiding his secret identity and, to some extent, getting lost in his alter ego. In the Justice League, Batman ends up being de facto leader a lot of times because that is because he is funding the organization and his leadership skills in Wayne Enterprises and up matching well for the Justice League.

A lot of people cheer for their family’s team even if the town they live in has a different team. So you might not cheer for your team, but you’ll cheer for the team you saw Mom and Dad cheer for when you were a kid.

I wouldn’t go that far, but I’ve thought about mixing Skittles and M&M’s to make S&M’s.

Depends on who you ask.

God yes.
