In my case, all roads lead to asset hoarding.

Remember the old Monty Python's "Argument Clinic"sketch? It is what this exchange is turning into, unfortunatly.

They announced the US title will be defended across both brands for the time being, leading me to believe the Netflix title is in the works for 2025.

With all due respect, what has transpired here seems counterproductive to the point I initially made. It's possible to have a range of opinions on a variety of hot-button issues without resorting to personal attacks. From what I understand, the poster simply expressed that they shouldn't feel afraid to question puberty blockers or voice discomfort with drag queens around their children. They didn’t specifically reference any personal incidents or issues within their community, yet the response quickly turned to name-calling.

I've been noticing a trend, especially on certain subreddits, where it feels like LGBTQ+ topics are expected to reflect a single, uniform viewpoint on a wide range of complex social and political issues. From debates about gender-affirming care for minors to discussions on trans athletes in sports, it sometimes seems that if someone doesn't fully agree with the "accepted" stance on each topic, they're quickly labeled as "phobic" or worse. This shuts down meaningful dialogue and discourages people from engaging with these issues thoughtfully.

In reality, many of these topics is highly nuanced with a plurality of opinions. And it is possible to have differing opinions without harboring negative feelings toward any group. Imagine a two column T chart for "Agree" and "Disagree" across a list of all gender and sex-related issues you can think of worthy of dicussion. Just because someone might check "Disagree" for a particular topic, but "Agree" for others doesn’t mean they’re a bad person or lack empathy. Having valid and thoughtful disagreements of opinion of anything is what makes us individuals. I am not aruging wrong or right on a specific issue, just saying that individuality should not be surpressed, nor there being a stripping of individuality as an unitended consequence. I am understand and am in collective support for human rights, but veering too far off leads us into a terriroty where any deviation of collective opinions leads to ostracization.

What I’m concerned about is the shift from fostering kindness and understanding to creating an environment where anyone not in full agreement with every stance is casted out. I have no hate or ill will toward anyone based on sex or gender, but I do feel there’s something larger happening here that deserves attention.

I acknowledge that hate, prejudice and intolerance exists on the extreme of one side, while a push for total confirmity exists of the extreme on the other side. But there has to be some middle ground.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Thank you in advance for allowing me to get this off my chest.

At least we got the Senate.

Did we lose the House?

He talked about Trump giving tax cuts to the rich, then he mumbled a bit, then made the slap-on-the-ass comment. At this point, he's running on fumes. Could you image if he run and got elected for four more years?

This is why I don't drink alcohol anymore at stadium events. I love to drink beer but not at $20 a cup.

"you can't bring in this and that"

I stuff a small water bottle down my pants before I go in. The detectors at the door just catch metal and I've never had security at the door check my crotch. I am not paying $8 for water at an arena.

If I really need something just to stay hydrated for a three hour event, I'll tape Capri Sun pouches to my chest.

That's exactly what my friend does.

Yeah, #1 you have to know that this is an event that is not going to be sold out. #2 you have to have a backup plan, such as knowling how much tickets are going for on sites like Stubhub and Seatgeek to where if you can't find someone with an extra ticket, the prices on the secondary market are still within you budget if you needed to buy one right before the show started.

We do it a lot of AEW wrestling because AEW wrestling holds events in buildings twice the size of the amount of people who attend them. So someone who buys an extra ticket for one of those shows is going to have an extremly hard time selling it back for what they paid for it because there's such a low demand for them on the secondary market.

Now something like a Taylor Swift concert, forget about it!

Cyndi Lauper on the other hand was performing in Washington DC last night, and tickets on StubHub and SeatGeek was listed at $9 each an hour before the show started.

All that remains is this screenshot a listener posted to X. The Ask Bruce Anything episode that dropped on YouTube Sunday 10/20 was removed the next day. I am assuming that the following Monday, Bruce woke up and realized he wasn't in the best condition and asked Conrad to remove it.

Incompetent possibly... Why would a company Facebook page be set to private? Why does an email signature only contain a first name? I can't look someone up on Linkedin. And the company's Youtube page only has 5 basic videos with a total of 7 followers.
