Also anecdotal: I met an American in France one time. We were both travelling, so there were plenty of other things to talk about, but somehow he got onto the subject of how much he loves the 2nd amendment within 5 minutes of meeting him, max. I have no idea how he steered the convo there, it was like a magic trick. Blew my mind.

No one (except for a very few nut jobs) is blaming Jews for the genocide that is happening, they're blaming the state of Israel. The current government and individual people making the decisions. Disagreeing with apartheid Israel does not equal 'blaming jews'.

Also, look into Christian Zionism. There are a lot of literal nazis and other antisemites who are thrilled about backing Israel right now, because they think that this is all part of a prophecy that brings about the end times or something... And this prophecy does not end well for Jews. So no, supporting Israel does not necessarily mean someone isn't antisemetic right now either.

Nope. He does the salute twice before saying the 'my heart goes out to you' plausible deniability attempt. Which makes it much less likely to be just a simple gesture, and also makes it very very clear that the crown is cheering the salute, not the line which comes later.

I know you are being technically accurate about gender identity, but we're not talking about you, and the example here is someone posting "look at that tranny". They are absolutely thinking about genitals.

Oof, they bought you chutes and ladders (snakes and ladders where I grew up, I guess chutes makes a lot more sense) and never even played it with you..? Damn. I'm sorry

I trusted you

Holy shit

That's amazing

WHAT

Some people are overly conscientious of people around them, and ask questions like these even though they are already being completely reasonable. It's a huge jump to assume they must be being an asshole, yelling into their mic etc. Try asking next time: "are you concerned about it because you tend to get excited and loud while chatting? Or is it more just a normal phone-call conversation volume?"

...talking, in your own room, is being an asshole?

I just watched a trailer for Intergalactic (by Naughty Dog). For some reason the one shot of the protagonist drinking with a straw blew me away. The micro expressions are so subtle but play so perfectly in the scene, it feels incredibly real in that moment.

The rest is also incredible, but of course still has something that gives it away... It's becoming harder for me to pinpoint what that something is, though. Something to to with the eye muscles I think?

Don't delete. There is no hive. Let the opinions and discussion happen, read them all, see if anything sways you. If not that's fine, if it does that's fine too. You asked, hear the answers

She hardly even took it back, just expressed regret that the word became 'politicised' since she said it...?? No, it was disgustingly incorrect when you said it
