It's a bizarre restaurant. I expect ~~good~~ interesting things from this doc.

State College in the late 00s. For sure we stayed up late, solving the world's problems (theoretically) as only young, not-yet-jaded people can. There were also people who couldn't go three days without getting blackout drunk and I tended not to be good friends with them due to lack of common interests.
I also didn't meet a single Jewish person until after I graduated college, there just isn't much of a Jewish population where I grew up, so I'm deeply skeptical of that theory.
So most people being allegedly cancelled are batshit or racist? ... Why is cancelling bad then?
There's few cases of non batshit, non racist ppl being cancelled. The best example you could think of, you acknowledge wasn't actually cancelling.
I'm not getting it.
You've expressed no reason to change, so yes, stay the same until there's a reason to spend millions of dollars and upend established systems.
So he wasn't cancelled. Some people were critical of how he said some things. That's the way people work.
I could post "the best spaghetti sauce recipe" and I would get people telling me I'm an idiot and wrong about Italian culture and blah blah blah. That's not cancellation. Any opinion, no matter how benign, gets crap on the internet.
Those details are unnecessary for this conversation. Cops used Facebook private messages to build a case to prosecute an illegal abortion.
They have established the process and the precedent, next time it will be a woman only 5 months pregnant. Or who has an ectopic pregnancy and is past six weeks. Or was raped. Or isn't in a financial situation suitable for raising a child. Or simply doesn't want a child. It doesn't matter the details, cops have and will use private messages to prosecute women getting abortions.
The arguments that "because of her one comment about wanting to wear jeans again means she was just a careless, shallow woman who didn't want to take responsibility for her actions and got what she deserved" is a load of crap. Not saying you are doing that solely, but that is not a good argument for not caring about privacy.
Because I don't see a reason to change. And changing would cost a lot of money and effort and impact. You're the one proposing a change - why?
No. Why should we?
You asked, I answered. Thinking about what right wing weirdos and perverts might do when in power is absolutely part of why I care about my digital privacy.
Law enforcement used Facebook private messages to investigate and prosecute a woman for an "illegal abortion". This is not a hypothetical, this happened.
I care about my privacy because I don't want right-wing weirdos and perverts incarcerating me for controlling my own body.
There are more reasons. This is just the one most recently in the news as a glaring red flag real-life example.
My youngest sister has never watched Sixth Sense so that's the plan the next time one of us visits the other.
I suspect even though she doesn't know the twist, it has invaded pop culture references and memes though that she will figure it out early on in the movie. I remember even just knowing there was A Twist^TM was enough for me to spot what was coming much earlier on than the reveal.
Put 3/4 on the hit and 1/4 betting on the stock market reaction only you know is coming. Profit. Repeat.
