Yeah, I love Return of the Jedi.

Well, there’s always some people with no self-respect, but they’re hardly the norm.
The dealbreaker for me is that a nordic home would never have pre-sliced cheese on the table but rather a big block of cheese and a cheese slicer.
Well, it’s implied that a house is part of the deal, since where else is the horse going to live? A flight attendant won’t have a horse house just sitting around.
I enjoyed the movie Driveways that in part is about cleaning out a hoarder’s house. Plus it’s got Brian Dennehy in it, it’s his last movie before he died.

I was wondering why I hadn’t seen your mom around lately
I agree, it should have ended after Ancient Greese.
Well, besides eventual differences in cognitive ability, this probably has a lot more to do with that a lot of teenagers today aren’t responsible for much at all. In smaller communities, you see the event chain much clearer. You probably know who has to fix the ruined thing. Perhaps you even have to help out yourself. To put it simply, you don’t shit where you drink. This of course presupposes that the small community is a community to begin with; connections and relations between people and their environment need work, need to be maintained.
In a modern context or a larger city, you have much less of an immediate connection to the consequences of breaking, say, a streetlight. Someone else has to clean it up, someone else has to fix it, and they probably get paid for doing so anyway. And this is the typical attitude of everyone around you, this is what you learn.
But to turn this around, most of the environment around you in modern society actually has nothing to do with you. In an urban environment, not much is “yours” and you have little direct investment in anything. You’re a guest in your own living space. And with this in mind, why should you care about some streetlight? Or some building you’re not even allowed to enter? Or a street full of billboards for products other people make money from?
This is what they want you to think but they’re hardly even trying. Google is shitty on purpose because if initial search results are bad, you “engage” more and see more ads. And since they’re not worried about competition because google is the default search nearly everywhere – most people don’t even know there are alternatives, google is synonymous with search – they can enshittify their search as much as they want. https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/teach-me-how-to-shruggie/ https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/
To take it one step further, one can plant (native) wildflower seeds that further promotes biodiversity and attracts pollinators. Plus meadows are beautiful.
I can understand the fatigue, but the alternative is silence and resignation. Someone has to be the sane voice that points out these things. Someone has to display consistent morals, or else society rots completely. You might not see a result immediately, but it’s not in vain.
Yes, and the cousin of Jean-Paul Ohmaire.
Who said that, Voltaire?
John Constantine is DC universe, duh.
Or find a thread where someone else asked the same question, and give the wrong answer/solution.
If anyone is curious, “disco” comes into English from the french loan word discothèque, originally from greek δισκος (diskos, as in discus throw, a disk) + θήκη (thiki, originally case or chest but here it means “house”). So a “house of discs” in the same way a “bibliothèque” is a house of books. The Latin meaning is a happy coincidence. That being said, I sincerely hope someone is working on a disco musical adaptation of Dantes Inferno.
So you simply already need to know what you’re asking it, gotcha. Seems easy enough.
That might also be true. You never know.
