WE WON, BOYS. . .& I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the World Cup!

. . .but I kinda am & we have the right to celebrate every tiny victory we get. The World Cup just became the greatest Men’s advocate ever. . .& all we did was be ourselves!

The entire planet has eyes on America; going viral everyday for something new & something different. . .and every bit of it contradicts the image those in our own country have pushed out to the rest of the world.

I’ve seen 5 different videos from people visiting 4 different states flabbergasted at how single & groups of 2 or 3 women are able to comfortably walk around with no one harassing them or even speaking to them; wearing high end accessories, showing plenty of skin & loudly enjoying themselves. I’ve seen, at least, 15 videos mentioning no police or security being around where hundreds of people (obviously WOMEN included) were drinking, dancing, chanting & partying. There are COUNTLESS videos mirroring each other like:

“This guy just paid for our meal!”
“This guy just bought me & my wife drinks!”
“This guy just invited my family to a barbecue with his family!”
“This guy actually drove us to [whatever location] b/c he said we would get lost.”

. . .and sorry, ladies, but this is not hyperbole - they, literally, stated “This guy” every single time & not once “This woman/lady”; outside of greetings/conversation. The content creators from other countries are having a field day showcasing how evil some of the things said of Western / American men were, but even those with no agenda are carrying a monster torch for us, boys!

. . .and all we had to do was be us.

When he called Mjölnir & Stormbreaker in ENDGAME, I would’ve loved to see the full original one last time. . .

They could keep him kinda “pudgy” (if they felt the need), but right before the Big 3 took Thanos on, I would’ve LOVED to see the lightning not only bring him Mjölnir & Stormbreaker, but the original armor & helmet as well.

I just love the look & we really only got it once. . .for a cpl mins. . .in the very first movie.

The WORLD CUP just destroyed all-things “left-leaning” in the States.

((Remember, folks: “UNPOPULAR opinion”. . .not my personal worldview &/or political leanings.))

As of right now,
The United States of America is embroiled in a massive ideological battle between its citizens on the subject of borders, immigration & deportation. There’s also an ongoing battle regarding women’s rights (especially regarding abortion); including the different considerations for biological sex vs gender ideologies. The President is absolutely DESPISED by a massive conglomerate of American citizens AND the country is in a defacto state-of-war with Iran (regardless of the “cease fire” agreements that seem to pop up every 48 hrs). . .

. . .and yet, for a month+, America has consistently gone viral with citizens of other countries praising every aspect of American culture & stating their desire to become a member of this society. Many supported those issues (mentioned above) from afar in the past, but now claim they feel as though they’ve been betrayed & lied to their entire lives regarding American people, hospitality, food, fun, guns, danger (especially regarding women), etc etc etc

Whether they are right, wrong or indifferent, there is an inexhaustible plethora of foreign citizens that, not only adore the America they’ve experienced, but defend Americans & American culture to anyone who will listen. So, while these issues are not EXCLUSIVELY one political party or another, I really can’t see how the people who witnessed America firsthand & ecstatically praise America across the board will be swayed by any “left leaning” arguments they hear in person or see online in the future.

Just my thoughts - what are yours?

They’re blaming you again. . .but it’s your wallet, Your Choice, YOUR RIGHT!

In a few of the “unpopular opinion groups, I posted (below):

***”Unpopular opinion: Blaming men for “female led movie” flops is not empowering women; quite the opposite actually.

In the BILLION dollar platform that is the NFL, more than 30 teams have packed up & relocated due to lack of support. There are 15 now-defunct NBA franchises. 27 MLB teams & more than 40 NHL franchises have relocated or cease to exist, today, and there are 71 men’s pro sports LEAGUES (not “teams” - “LEAGUES!”) that are no longer around due to lack of support. . .

. . .and not once not ever not never has anyone EVER blamed women for any of it. It’s OUR (men’s) league - if we want it, we support it. If we don’t want it, we don’t support it. It’s just that simple for us. When women put the onus of their “flops” on men, they are saying they can’t be successful without men’s support. When they blame men’s early reviews for the abysmal cinema showings, they’re saying that women can’t decide for themselves whether the movie is quality or not. That is, quite literally, the opposite of ‘empowerment’, my friends.

((and here’s the kicker: If ZERO men. . .and only 1/5th of American women (ONLY American women) supported Supergirl (w/America’s average ticket price at $16) - it would’ve cleared $500million. How, on earth, can men be blamed for women not showing up??))”***

Hindsight is 20/20 & character arcs are very entertaining. . .but not everyone deserved a 2nd chance!

I get it.
I get why many people believe certain characters ‘redeemed’ themselves later on in the show. . .

. . .and yet, if we’re in the middle of a catastrophic zombie apocalypse and you’re trying to save (not only yourself & immediate family, but) as many people as humanly possible, you don’t get the luxury of “believing there’s some ‘good’ in there somewhere” & putting your entire community at risk.

- How many times does Jadis have to betray you & set you up to be murdered?
- How many times does Father Gabriel have to put your lives in danger?
- How can Abraham be treated like a like violent psychopath for attacking Eugene over his lies that cost ALL those people their lives?
- How many times does Gregory have to sell you out &/or set you up for slaughter by the Saviors?
- How about the other characters in the pic I posted? What would THEY have to do to have you ultimately deem them irredeemable?

Yes, at different points, these characters aided our main group, but they were just FORTUNATE to be given that opportunity. What say you?

You awaken in Atlanta the day of the initial outbreak. . .but know everything that’s about to happen (season 1-6 only). What are you doing?

While everyone is scrambling to figure out what’s happening, where their family members are, what the news is saying & whether or not it’s true, looting grocery stores, etc. I’ll be:

(1.) Raiding / Robbing every gun/ammo & pawn shop for every firearm I can get my hands on all over the city. I’d rob ‘em at gunpoint if need be, but I wouldn’t harm anyone. They wouldn’t deserve to die for trying to keep me from stealing their stuff. I’d just move on to the next.

(2.) Raiding / Robbing every Home Depot / Lowes for every tool, supply &/or building material I can get my hands on. I’m an engineer & master carpenter, so. . .

(3.) Taking everything into the deepest, densest, thickest forest/wooded area & begin building my fortress. I’d even chop down more trees to fill in whatever gaps that would make my dwelling visible. No one would ever know I was there (one way in, one way out & I, alone, know where the door is).

Yep - food would be exceptionally important. . .but I’d rather have those things in place & scavenge for sustenance than to load up on food & have nowhere secure to enjoy it.

ABSOLUTELY LOVING my 1st time binge-watch thru the series. . .but what in the Cersei Lannister is this broad on?!

This is the kind of doctor you tell you’re having trouble sleeping. . .& she prescribes you LSD (“Now, make sure you take it with a full glass of wine and on an empty stomach.”). If lil’ Debbie wasn’t battling enough of her own mental demons already, this chick ensured victory for the bad thoughts. Smh. . .

Seriously, tho - am I crazy? This IS my 1st time thru the entire series. Where was everybody else at regarding this chick when she made her initial appearances?

Greatest back-2-back episodes in the series’ (& maybe television) history

Many say Seasons 1-4 are peak and 5-6 are the beginning of the epic dropoff. . .but it gave us the best back-to-back episodes of any series I’ve ever experienced. Simply spectacular!

There may be better individual episodes, but any back-to-back that you think are better?

If MICHAEL JACKSON’s early career (1960-1990) had taken place from 1990 - 2020. . .

During that time period, Mike moved his family from a tiny house in Indiana to a massive mansion in Cali, had gone platinum 30X, was collaborating with Barry Gordy & Quincy Jones, owned a plethora of exotic animals (chimps, giraffes, llamas, peacocks, etc), donated millions to aid people all over the world, regularly sold out arenas that housed 100,000+ people. . . 

. . .& b/c he was still living in the same house as his parents, brothers & sisters - modern women would’ve claimed he was a bum & not “high value”🤣

Bronn -> Daario
Craster -> Ser Alliser
Samwell ->Gendry

For me, it was:

***”The Original Kings of Comedy”*** (2000)
— skipped school with a female friend & caught the matinee

&

***”Avengers: ENDGAME”*** (2019)
— both times I caught it in theaters
