You're welcome.

Its.... quite weird and targeted at adults who watched the original as kids , but highly relevant. Not sure if it works though.

Well I just wandered home finally from being out for the Phily march for science, and I wish this well.

The damn local speeches at the event got painful really fast though, touchy feel types proclamation how 'everyone is a scientist' over and over...is so missing the fucking point. Also some really dubious unsourced numerical claims were made in certain speeches, for bonus point missing.

Meh, now I have to go find it on steaming media.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
