They could, but it's a pretty progressive city, so there's nothing to lose and everything to gain for anyone public-facing in Seattle to be seen telling Paxton to fuck off.

Also, on a much less cynical note, making a bigot with grotesque demands look thoroughly foolish this time could create a precedent that could save lives in less clear-cut cases.

Tl;Dr: Telling Paxton off as loudly as possible (figuratively speaking) is both the opportune thing to do AND the right thing to do.

Missed opportunity, really. Add some collaboration with the British Broadcasting Company and you have "Virgin DP with BBC". Smut seo heaven!

Yes, I've been taken prisoner by the concept that unnecessary censorship is a bad thing. Good deduction, Sherlock. 🙄

True. I was referring to the stereotypical grumpy old man, not any specific octogenarians, many of which are much cooler than you and I will ever be 😁

Holy strawmen, Batman! You've assembled an entire hay loft of them there, gramps!

At first I thought you were coming from a place of bias and baseless stereotyping but now I know for a fact that you are.

Get out of the way and let people younger than your apparent 80 years express themselves how they want to.

Look I’m not a prude or some kinda anti-sex freak but

proceeds to rattle off a bunch of prudish anti-sex talking points followed by "trust me, I have a degree" 🤦

I still have hope emotionally but intellectually I fully expect to be disappointed. Development hell of this magnitude can't be healthy for the end result 😮‍💨

Oops, my mistake. Good thing we can edit posts!

Yeah, that one's DEFINITELY killed some people.

She might not have personally murdered anyone (yet), but she DID introduce the world to a shitload of junk science as well as promoted a faith healer who raped probably hundreds of women and girls.
