So, you simply mean "being preached at"? What's the over/under on religious "leaders" feeling they're above the law, etc., but knowing that they have to keep the sheep from spooking?

The word is "blithe", and it's more often a conscious choice then an inborn default, ergo: Nazi apologists are simply called Nazis.

Yes, yes, it's all a product. We get it.

Is this what happens when the education budget is gutted? "Revelatory" notions that'd otherwise never make it past their split-moment of conception (ie. "hunh"), now get added to the cultural slop running underfoot? Picking through shite looking for gems, y'all are covered in it and no closer to sparkling clarity. Give us a smile for the cameras, piglet.

That's generous. Statistically speaking, fewer can read than will.

What a lukewarm compliment. I need to wash my hands now, ew.

TBF, even three "generations" in that span assumes parenthood by 28 (2021: 30, FYI), and 4+ generations by 7 years apiece — putting it well beyond reality "by any reckoning".

A "generation" is colloquially ~14-20 years, and "several" means 7+. Keiko's high as balls again. 🤦🏽‍♂️

edit: if "several" generations "by any reckoning" were able to fit into ~85 years' time, it would require 10yr olds becoming parents in each generation, consecutively. What the actual, Keiko. Words matter. Ew.
