Chadwick Bowsman in anything, but I would have loved it if he could have had a real close to the Black Panther character. If I have a magic wand I’d cure his cancer, of course. But even giving him just a few more years so he could give that character a worthy send off and better set up the rest of his universe.

Don’t sleep on “A Knight’s Tale”

Spending the day working in a field, in a factory, etc you don’t do a lot of socializing.

Some of the DVD/Blu-ray versions of “GalaxyQuest” have the entire movie dubbed into the weird screeching alien language as a quirky bonus feature.

They’re creating their own events, separate from the official Olympics

The article never mentions Australia. The reporter is from the American ABC. Everything mentioned here, including Disney, the $15 million, the reporter… all American.

No one here is talking about Australia except you

I don’t think mega corporations have been resistant to social activism only in the last couple of decades. It’s been true since at least the days of the robber barons of the early 20th century.

No, it’s not a different ABC.

Shocked Pikachu face.

He sold out to a massive corporate conglomerate and they don’t support his social activism.

Who could possibly have seen this coming.

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”
