ABC has been owned by Disney for decades. Are you confusing them with CBS who just went through a merger?

You just described addiction as a mental condition. People can use anything as an unhealthy coping mechanism. It sounds like you’ve probably correctly identified it as an addiction. Now you can treat it like one.

People can become addicted to food, too, but clearly can’t stop entirely. There are comparisons.

That said, I’d say this is more like work addiction or shopping addiction where stopping completely for a time is possible while you detox, then see what feels right about reintroducing healthy versions in a safe way.

Find groups then. It’s not exactly the same, but 12 step groups are an excellent, free option. Honestly a great addiction recovery plan often includes both individual and group work.

If you mean compilation soundtracks-

Baby Driver

Last Night in Soho

Guardians of the Galaxy (the first one)

Back to the Future

If we’re taking scores –

LOTR as already mentioned.

Loki Season 1

Sneakers (1992) if I’m in the right mood.

Just about any John Williams: A New Hope, Last Crusade, Empire of the Sun, Far and Away, etc etc

Star Trek VI: TUC (the overture, especially)

Tron: Legacy

Finding Nemo

Wreck -it Ralph

Many churches did back BLM and still do. There are actually many who actually read the Bible and don’t just listen to MAGA nutjobs and cultish leaders. They’re just not as loud (that’s kinda the point… The Bible talks about that, too)

You have to see the huge logical leap you’re making in your main point, right?

Just because some of Jesus’ disciples believed they saw a resurrected Jesus isn’t scientific proof that he was resurrected. It just means they believed he did.

You’re searching for facts in a realm of faith. Either you believe or you don’t. If you only believe in something that is proven, then you don’t have faith, just conviction.

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Heb 11:1

Lots of great answers already, but one interesting thing that seems to be like it would keep more mammals from evolving to fly:

extra weight of the young during gestation.

Egg-laying birds get to breed but don’t carry around that extra weight for nearly as long or as heavy. That’s got to be a huge evolutionary advantage, right?

Eh, you’re probably right, but I also know a lot of people from various Houston burbs and they all lean right/MAGA, so I’ve got some observational bias going on too

Houston is as well considering it’s massive but full of mostly sprawled suburbs and tons of oil people or friends/relatives of oil people.

It is in the context of a guy singing. The next line is something like “if it was a dog that had howled thus, he’d have shot him”

“Is it not strange that sheep’s guts should hail souls from mens’ bodies?” – Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

(Guitar/lute strings used to be made from sheep gut, for anyone confused)

I am one of the bosses. I’ve been around lots of businesses that do this kind of thing, including tiny startups.

I’m telling you for most businesses, if they’ve bothered to send someone on a business trip that costs $2500+ per person for an important reason, they aren’t going to cancel it over $250. That’s foolish.

The percentage doesn’t change for a team vs individual. 3 people also need 3 plane tickets, 3 hotel rooms, etc.

$250 is a rounding error for most international business travelers. That’s the cost of one moderately nice business dinner for 3 people. Between airfare, hotels, and meals, that’s less than 10% of the cost of almost all international business trips, with the possible exception of some quick jump from Toronto to Detroit for a lunch meeting.

Same for a lot of international leisure travelers.

This is a filter to keep ‘the poors’ away

Ha. Funny

That’s also just what I could find in 30 seconds on Zillow. Pretty sure you could get stuff even cheaper (no structures in property, for insurance) with a little effort

I didn’t say Canadian tundra, I say Canadian North.

Hers a listing in northern SK for $129k CAD that’s nearly 12k acres. That’s $10.75 CAD per acre. That’s pretty cheap in my book.

Outside of the awesome ‘national parks’ answer from someone else, I would have to assume the best cost-to-surface-area purchase in the world would be really cheap land in the American West, Australian outback, Russian tundra, Canadian North, etc. Assuming it doesn’t have oil on it, some of those areas, land practically given away. Sometimes you can get governments to pay you to take it on and try to do something useful with it.

If you consider that ownership usually includes mineral rights for miles under the ground, this really starts to look like the obvious choice of your looking for volume, not just area.

I mean, The Mandalorian started by cutting someone in half with a door 60 seconds into the first episode. It’s not exactly “little kid stuff.”
