I do kinda look past the artist for the art, but try to do anything I can to be sure the artist doesn't profit. I love Lovecraft stories, but reading his works now doesn't aid him or his family's assets. I used to like the Doors, Bowie, Aerosmith, etc. I like the music, but won't search it on Spotify or pay for albums.
While the cultures are different, I don't get it. Women in the US basically have a "just cause I lack a penis, doesn't mean I am not equal" mentality. And women earned rights in the UK before the US. Just seems like the misogny would be less over there. Then again, racism was on the decline here, and now it's like everyone has a golden ticket to be bigoted assholes, so...
When they stole artifacts I was irritated, but rich fucks do that kinda shit all the time. Then they starting pushing for control of their female employee's health, then the two things that sent me: pretending to be Christian but forcing employees to work during a pandemic cause "my wife said God said it's ok", then mass firing after the vaccine came out, and then funding hate groups. They are nothing more than WCN Nazis.
It's most probable that Rowling is actually trans, but refuses to accept it. Denying it along with degrading empathy due to her financial success just creates a void she feeds with hostility. This leads to guilt, more hostility due to "shame", etc. Her books portray her actual feelings, but she fell off the wagon because she believes it is shameful to accept a different gender. She has even said that she wished she was a boy. Regardless, funding any kinda hate group is fucked. Believe what you want, but don't try and stop people from having their own joy if it's not harmful.
I'm not attacking. But I will remind people of the money that the author will continue to get as her business grows and makes movie/tv/game deals. I won't attack someone for buying a Tesla, either, but will remind them that buying said Tesla funds a Nazi's wallet.
I sometimes get ChiFilA food. It's convenient, my family likes the food, and somewhat affordable. I also know what horrible people that own that company believe. I don't go nearly as much now, and attempt to dissuade my family from going there. Now Hobbly Lobby? Strict ban hammer on that shithole. So much fucking monsterous, vile shit from that place.
True leaders lead by example. He says ship crews need to put on their big boy pants and just go through, and that Iran has capitulated. Well Con Don, lead us, put your money where your mouth is. Or retire, and shut up forever.
This was my reaction as well... felt really gross to find my head nodding up and down as I read... then again, demensia does provide momentary lucidity from time to time.
SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK
He just needs to make it past this weekend of all weekends... then whatever.
I kinda go with Occams Razor on this one. Homes in the Virgin Islands buy similar materials for their water reservoirs. The Diddler Island probably had higher requirements based on use. Besides, asshole was so rich that it would have been just as easy to tie bodies to weights and drop them in the Atlantic somewhere with his multitude of boats. Yeah, it's morbid, but it is more plausible.
Surprisingly I only hit about 4... although maybe 5 as I use "roll out" when leaving...
You ever drink grog? Milwaukee Beast is better than that even...
