I was all but asleep on the occasions my kid wanted to watch MM Clubhouse+ (that's what you have in mind right?), but I do have a vague impression of finding it cliché'd, shallow, and eyebrow raising.
I also often insisted that goofy and pluto were really the same person. (I was bored!)

Ah, you see that? It's the real distinction of the human ancestry.
Somehow when we lock eyes and show teeth it is /not/ a sign of imminent aggression. So, so, very weird.

... so-called absolute certainty. It's a sketchy way to signal.
Opinions can be wrong. The paraphrase I opened with is not contrastive the way it pretends to be.
But also the thing I'm paraphrasing was probably said lightheartedly.

... bullshit on a short time scale. It isn't fair to do at length to someone you want further contact with.
But some don't. Fetishized obligatory forgiveness is the hallmark of your abusive cult. Not everyone subscribes, and it's a false premise to bring to analysis of cutting ties.

It WAS TERRIFYING.
I feel bad that in character the horror reaction out of a guy like Titus is minimalist, but I think he may be commanding everyone to wear neck armor from here out. He had no idea it would be like that.

I got out of Herencia Jalisco last night for just slightly more than that after tip and we had some of the finest tres leches cake Ana said she'd ever tasted.

"Fill your hands" is an idiom I am grateful to finally be exposed to.
Falling short of a general strike is a tacit admission that we don't really have the backs of workers in these professions dominated by women. "Sure, I'm going to let the man keep his hands on my throat. I'm not dead yet."

Oh, well, delightfully, this has been hidden behind an "intolerance" moderator veil. 9_9
I find this moderation intolerant of my ideas. Or, well, I should say: the artist's ideas.

100% true when conditioned by "legally speaking in the U.S." (As you said here.)
But also, the word treason predates the the Magna Carta, and is not defined by law. Me graffitiing "Fuck U.S. Colonialism," is, manifestly, treason. Is/ought, law/ethics. "Actionable treason" is a useful clarification.
