Most of the purveyors of this shit fantasize about the size and scale and thoroughness of ownership and control of literally every aspect of the "world" they think they're creating. It's greed in its purest form. They're so disconnected from reality they simply cannot see their own lies.
As an oldster let me say...KIDS THESE DAYS ... (lol) are so much better off, so much kinder to each other, so open, so don't give a fuck about gender, ... never I'm the world would I have imagined this possible. (out gay man here, loudmouth anarchist weirdo).
The bigot monsters are outnumbered, they thrive only by oppressing others, their major power, division, enforced ignorance and lies and deceit, undone by people ACTUALLY TALKING about shit like being unhappy and depressed and having at least some people be kind to you.
If you had done that in my time you'd have been whisked away out of sight.
"The closet" is a concept broader and wider than just sexuality. Silence keeps people fearful divided and silent.
LA has parrots. They're fkn loud! And argue, lined up on phone lines. Once in a while one will whack another, and it will spin on the wire, gripped with two feet, like in a cartoon.
Wow that's nuts! (Lol I h8 podcasts but the transcript feature is great). Thanks!
I'm not the paranoid type but you gotta wonder at how much we are all (all animals etc) affected by bugs and chemicals natural and otherwise. There's this western idea that each of us stands alone! and suchlike. But we're all organisms in this big soup of a planet...
They don't. Evolutionary biology has no concept of intent. There is no "because". Of the zillions of tiny and arbitrary changes/mutations organisms undergo, some confer advantage or disadvantage, usually little tiny ones, essentially unmeasurable. They add up (or not) over long periods of time. But there is no plan, no purpose, etc.
This is essentially the point where (edit: some) religious folk cannot accept evolution theory.
Order arises from the rules of physics. It's only taken a few billion years....
He makes really bad decisions. He says terrible things. His major advantage in life is that he has a lot of money. He makes for a very disappointing "hero".
That is an excellent question. Many eu countries do it this way. But pipes don't have the same liabilities/exposures as the media sites do. Some of this is long and we'll studied, tl;dr here.
