I don't see how any of that applies to what I said.

If you want to focus on the worst proponents of these ideologies, please let's take a closer look at MGTOW and see if it's a reaction to misandry or if it's just straight-up misogyny. Because I promise you it's straight-up misogyny.

You can't just make up new definitions for established words.

MGTOW is an anti-feminist movement, which means it's based in the idea that women shouldn't be equal to men.

This movement is based in the idea that women should be equal to men. So it's different.

Or they could just not bring back literally the most boring villain possible.

And I want to be very clear that I'm not saying the Emperor is the most boring villain in cinema history, even though he is. I'm saying he's the most boring villain possible.

When he was introduced in the original trilogy he was a nameless old man in a robe. Defining characteristics? None. Voice? Evil. Face? Evil. Motivation? Evil. Outfit? Featureless robe, black because he's evil.

The best part about The Last Jedi was that they were fixing the downgrade that RotJ made of replacing the most badass movie villain of all time with -- I can't stress this enough -- the most boring villain possible. TLJ killed the Emperor stand-in and set Kylo Ren up as the real villain. That was exciting.

But then they let fan forums write the third movie, and somehow, the Emperor came back.

A self fulfilling prophecy, in a way.

That's true.

With a T9 phone, I used to be able to send a complete text message without ever taking my eyes off the road.

Now that I've got a touchscreen I'm swerving all over the place every time I try to text. It's way less safe.

To many of them!

Or just stop after the first sentence.

Have you tried saying, "Please don't ask me that anymore"?

That will address the exact problem without being rude, without offending him, and without opening it up for more questions. You don't owe him an explanation, so don't leave an opening for one. Just say: "Please don't ask me that anymore."

If he asks why, you say, "Doesn't matter. Please don't ask me that anymore."

If he offers an explanation for why he's asking you that, you say, "Ok. Please don't ask me that anymore."

Neat and easy. No unintended consequences.

The CEO would just be a fall guy, and the decision-making would go to someone else.

A few years back the GOP closed a bunch of polling places in blue areas. It's flagrant voter suppression.

You skipped the part where Republicans closed polling locations in Democrat-leaning areas. The lines are intentional on election day.
