"Pick me" behavior

No worries! Glad you like it.

This is why I said I'd at least call 911. It's not my best option of course, but intervening myself in today's environment isn't smart either, unfortunately. I wouldn't want someone to die and/or be a victim of a legit abduction, and me turn a blind eye to it. Couldn't live with myself.

Calling someone about it if it happens in front of me is better than me being numb to it and just moving along like a good little citizen under serveillance. At least to me, it is. It's the "what if" scenario of what if it is an actual abduction/kidnapping of fake cosplay cops/ICE?

I get calling the cops isn't a great option given *gestures broadly*. My thought about calling 911 in those instances is doing *something*, since I'd likely die or be arrested myself if I personally tried to intervene on what I thought was state sanctioned kidnapping.
December 3, 2025 at 2:35 PM
Yeah, even if it is cops in masks doing the grabbing, I'm calling someone. This is the slippery slope all the MAGAs don't think about when they're cheering on ICE. We can't all just become numb to masked people snatching up citizens.

Can we?

There's more, but that's a start to the conversation as I see it. Purely my opinion.

It teaches Winthorpe specifically to not judge a book by it's cover with Ophelia, and though she doesn't have much, she gives and helps as she can in the holiday spirit.

All the main protagonists realize they have each other and can depend on each other, find a family they need.

They do the Robin Hood thing and flip the script on the Duke's at the end, but the whole thing is really a warning against greed and letting money change you.

The bah-humbug villains get their come-uppance in the end, including Beeks.

It starts at Christmas time and runs thru New Years - all the holiday season covered.

The Valentine/Winthorpe swap teaches us to be grateful for what we have, and to be wary of getting all we wish for.

Winthorpe's rich friends abandon him, he finds new ones with the Duke's as their shared enemy.

Does this mean that there's a holiday discourse slot available?

If so, I would like to put forward Trading Places as the most complete *holiday* movie of all time.

I sang “Don’t Look Back In Anger” for karaoke in Roanoke last weekend.

We just had a chili cook off at work...definitely the season for it!

The cake wagon of justice Chris Meloni drags along would have helped tremendously.

Enjoy your pocket dogs, gents!

For sure. I’m not even sure how widespread that was tbh. I think the post made it seem more far reaching than it probably was…as happens with most things on social media.

This only works is the establishment Dems allow it to work. The moment they waffle and act like anything Mamdani stands for is "bad" in any way, or that they have to explain it away nationally, that's when GOP/MAGA can get a foothold with the uninformed electorate.

I'm a transplant into KY - moved here 3 years ago, and growing up in VA, I don't remember *ever* not having anything on the ballot to vote on. Even I questioned it. Do I wish I could have voted in those other elections? Sure, esp the VA Gov. Do I understand that I can't? Absolutely 😂

Reminds me of what I tell folks about my personal politics: I simply look at the sides available to me. If there are white supremacists/Nazis/etc on one of those sides, I immediately take the opposite side.

If you're being cheered on by e-edgelords and groypers...maybe look at the other options.

Doing work, homie. 💪

While CFB is wild and it's possible the football season can be saved by some chaos, I've moved forward to basketball. Hope springs eternal, and we've got a ton a new faces. Let's go into the unknown and see what happens. 🙌🙌🙌

Mendoza? I’d have paid Mensah at Duke that money. He’d have been better than Beck. Beck’s elbow might have been surgically repaired, but you can’t fix what’s wrong between his ears.
