People that say ideology/social conditions miss the point. While bullying is certainly shaped by these factors, it is just normal human behavior that needs correction.

It exists in all children, regardless of location or culture. It has to do with maintaining social hierarchy and forming groups. Children making friends and children excluding others are just two sides of the same coin of primate social structure. Some people grow out of that but most don't, they just learn to hide it better. In fact, most bullies go on to live far more successful and fulfilling lives than most people.

Human beings are not inherently good or bad, they are inherently very smart pack animals. At our best, we can come together with millions of different people to complete amazing political/social projects. At our worst we have racism, bullying, and genocide.

Chaos tends towards order in aggregate, literally chaos control in action. Atom's don't really follow the traditional energy level model, they just have a reasonable probability of being somewhere along those lines. But the structures can be relatively stable and rocks don't blink out of existence.

Also spontaneous order is a well studied part of Chaos Theory. You're wrong again.

In conclusion, Shadow haters get the wall and you're not a communist. ban-hammer

"I used ChatGPT to make Excel Macros which do my job, this is why ChatGPT is an amazing unique product"

Anyone with a mediocre knowledge of Excel/any programming language also could have done this. The scary part is how an company relied on this for presumably years.

A wife also has the right to know if her husband is cheating. It's not about ownership, it's about STDs. Everyone is entitled to make informed decisions about who they have sex with.

I know situations can be complex but safe sex and informed consent is the backbone of the LGBTQ+ community and I don't think we should throw it away to get some extra dunks.

However, I disagree about the ending. It whacked the movie over the head with a theme-shaped bat until its subsequent paste-form could be anything but misinterpreted.

The ending is often misinterpreted but it's extremely good and subtle in a lot of ways. The speech to Murray at the end isn't meant to be an actual explanation of the character's beliefs. It's Arthur breaking down and embracing a role forced upon him. He didn't kill the three people on the subway because they were awful, it was self defense for the first two and the third because his story wouldn't be believed even if it was the truth. A morally good Arthur would still end with him in prison because the third guy would lie and say the evil clown attacked him and his friends.

It's a lot like Joker's laugh. The traditional Joker laughs at the world, finding some macabre humor in the things he does. But in this movie it's just a medical condition. He's forced to do so and people project motivations on to it. He never wanted any of this to happen but society denies him the opportunity to be anything but the villain.

But they're leaning to their right.

The sauce is pretty good but the chicken is just okay. Most people haven't had a good chicken sauce before Raising Canes. Plus they have some pretty good sponsors like the Cowboys and Post Malone so it covers a wide range of demographics.

Not morally, but the "You agreed not to fact check" was probably a bigger blunder to the American people than supporting per-emptive genocide.
