A show starring a white male lead doesn't make or break my enjoyment. There are significantly more important factors I consider when I consume entertainment.

I'm way more annoyed at people who keep telling me that art is catered to me.

The reality is that I'd rather watch random stuff on YouTube than the vast majority of films and TV shows.

Yeah I was sexually abused by women at a young age and let me tell you..... No one seems to care all that much.

Like especially when you are a male victim by a female perpetrator

Though to be fair, like every single victim of sexual abuse has it pretty bad and playing oppression olympics with it is the bad way to go.

Just try and find ways to get everyone the help that they need

@TommyG663513

Saw you espousing things in this vein in another topic.

Do you agree with the Former governor?

No. Government is largely responsible for infrastructure failings on this scale and they need to be held accountable. The guy is a public servant and he's downplaying the reality of his job and what role he played in the current circumstance.

Problem is as well that Texas elects people like this and they often aren't held accountable. Maybe this won't be true this time. That one mayor was forced to resign and his wife lost her job.

There is also this reality where you can be dealt a bad hand, but you also didn't make a good play on it either. Government being a crap show doesn't forgive the amount of stupid driving mistakes. A lot of winter driving is really just drive slow. Figure out how fast your vehicle can travel safely. Start slow and work up from there. It's by no means a catch all, but the amount of people who don't do something so basic is a part of it.

It's just so surprising to me to see just how unbelievably ignorant so many Southern people are about winter weather. Like it makes sense, because they have no real reason to need to know anything about it for like 99.9999% of their lives. It's just a downright foreign concept to me.

I don't think that you can deny that a lot of the mess in Texas is due to citizens not acting in the most appropriate way. A lot of it is just straight up good faith ignorance. A lot of people get really hostile when you point this out lol

The amount of Southern people who sounded well uninformed about how snow works trying to tell me how it does is downright comical. Like I'm very much a person who has spent large chunks of his winter his entire life experiencing various major snowstorms.

I will put it this way. The only time I ever ended up in a ditch in the winter was when I was really young and stupid. It really didn't take much to realize I can drive much better and not take risks as I got older.

We're struggling getting outright white supremacists to go back into hiding. Does the nuance of other whites really matter if we can't handle that tiny bit?

Kind of

I mean, the more moderate racist/non racist whites being more vocally anti racist would assist in getting rid of the white supremacists.

It's a tool, but it should by no means viewed as the only took. Many strategies should be employed to try and cover all of your bases.

In reality, this is an experiment in action and no one really knows how to destroy white supremacy. We only know that it's influence has decreased, but still stayed unfortunately relevant for an extremely long time.

They are both flat frozen **** holes imho, but the fact that it's easier to drive a nissan sentra up there in blizzard conditions than it is to drive in the south destroys your argument

How do you know it is easier?

You realize that MN does get snow just like the snow in Texas right?

But honestly, if you're gonna call both ND and MN flat frozen hell holes then you have no right to comment on life within either of them.

If that is how you refer to them then it is unlikely you ever called them home and/or lived there for an extended period. I'm gonna guess you only lived up there 3-5 years, but you're gonna come back and say you lived there a decade or more.

I've lived in MN my entire life and don't ever plan to move.

It just bugs me that some people acted so smug about texas "overreacting" and now you're trying to come off as if you're well-intentioned. If you acted smug and mocked us before, your "thoughts and prayers,......BUUUUUUUUUUT [blabla]" means nothing to us.

I also offered a lot of advice on dealing with the snow and cold, but I was told repeatedly by people who have maybe seen snow a handful of times in their life that their snow is totally different and that there is no way that I could possibly understand

Then why did states with lesser economies and harsher weather not go thru this? Also, Dallas and Northern Texas aren't immune to freezing weather, so idk where this narrative of Dallas having winters akin to Cancun, Mexico came from.

I don't know how your argument could somehow state that the constituents are blameless for the politicians that they elected

Having been a Southerner, while some of it is the lack of winter driving skills (can't learn what you don't practice), more of it is on the infrastructure. The roads in the south are at least ten times as bad in one tenth of the inclement weather, even an experienced winter weather driver would have a tough time.

People do overestimate their ability though and should just stay put.

It would also help if people slowed down and didn't overestimate their snow driving competence

If they asked anyone with any experience driving in these conditions they'd basically all say that

But I'm sort of preaching to the choir here

The reality here is that in a few days you will discover why all of the northern snow removal infrastructure isn't that needed when the snow melts away all on its own

The snow isn't the problem, it's the failure of the state that is

That is why I included infrastructure though I didn't specify what exactly those infrastructure improvements needed are or who is at fault for that.

But the blame basically lies with various politicians in the state

But really what they need is infrastructure and a crash course (not literally) on winter driving skills.
