Not all trans women pass. It takes a combination of the genetic lottery, a lot of money, time, and work to pass. Not everyone has that luck nor those resources. Nonbinary folks are also put in a no-win situation.

This has nothing to do with bathrooms, privacy, or "protecting women." The entire intent of laws like these is to attack trans people and make it effectively illegal to be trans in public. Fascists need a minority enemy in order to maintain power and we are their latest favourite punching bag.
EV weight is a legitimate concern both in terms of road and tire wear. However, this is a problem more generally given the current market trend towards driving a siege tower around to go grab some groceries.
If he cared about the grid he'd put solar panels up.
Hybrids: am I a joke to you?
Birth control, education and empowerment of women, and secularization. Not genocide. We either do that or we continue on thoughtlessly growing our population until we exceed what the earth can support at our given technological level. Then people will starve, thus decreasing the population with maximum suffering.
It's just capitalism. Longer work hours. So-called "news" agencies that profit off of fearmongering and division make us mistrust our neighbors and strangers. Streaming, TV, and gaming companies make money from us spending time at home looking at a screen. Our modern economy forces many people to leave their he towns to find employment. No support network for parents so parents become incredibly isolated and burnt out by having to do everything themselves whereas preindustrial people had a whole tribe to raise the youth.
Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?
If you were only 17 when you watched it and found it immature, you are unlikely to enjoy it this go-around.

Cloud Atlas did much better as a book than a movie. I am genuinely surprised that they tried to adapt it; it was never gojng to be anything but a confusing mess without the benefit of the long-format of a book to guide you. I'm curious why you considered it propaganda. It had an obvious central theme but that is the case for most cinema. It reads as communalist, which is unusual for most modern cinema which takes its cues from out hyper-individualist culture. Perhaps you see it as propaganda because it is so different from "normal" rugged individualist cinema. Do you consider Batman, The Punisher, Man on Fire, and Taken to be similar propaganda for individualist militant violence-as-solution ideas? Because they are. Aren't American Gangster, Pursuit of Happiness, Wolf of Wallstreet, etc. capitalist propaganda? It's easy to miss propaganda when it is reinforcing beliefs and values that you already have.

Directing students to go out into society and experiment on nonconsenting strangers is so gross. It's very mild in the grand scheme of unethical shit that some scientists have done over the years (ex:Tuskegee Syphilis Study) but still, it is a lazy and thoughtless way to gather data.

Society wasn't ready for Brokeback Mountain. It was important because of that though.
What about as a political statement? Isn't that still protected speech? You republicans made masking/not masking a political act, don't blame me.
