It is an actual fact. UHC reversed decisions in the wake of the assassination, as did other insurance companies. That it saved lives is an actual fact. You may not like that fact. You may feel that fact has no bearing on an assassination, but it is a fact. No claim it caused long term change.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

I like the idea, but not realistic at the moment. Sadly, high school kids have jobs and some extra curriculars are overly extra. Single parents with 2 jobs. Multiple kids. It's more about basics, reading to your kid early, reading to you, and doing basic math like groceries and cooking.

I would want a new mold. Mainly because of consistent annoyances with the kingdom mold. Everything from the trailer is just needs to go. The overall concept can stay. For the cab, move the spoiler up, condense the front end to be wider. Allow legs under trailer but fold up for a good car.

Definitely should have done more with cw Mixmaster than give him an old school front end. They seem really terrified of new transformations. I'm sorry, but just because you want the start and the end to look the same does not mean how you get there has to be the same.

I find very few action figures that can look up. Are there any Hasbro lines that do it, let alone transformers? And transformers are one of the few that should have some leeway on head sculpts due to not being human or having hair.

Location, location, location! Probably only a handful of kids could walk school. This is out in the middle of nowhere. If you're building a school where almost every kid lives a mile or more away, you're building it in the wrong place. There should definitely be access for that tract housing.

And it all seems to hinge on the Indianapolis. Brody is the one that brings up the tattoo, he's also the one that doesn't know about it. And he never puts a lifejacket on again. His actions are definitely terrified even if Shaw never has a line or facial expression to go into it.

The 70s really took it to people in power in all sorts of horror movies but nothing usually happened. I think jaws let's the mayor off too easily after his mealy line about his kids being in the water too. He's even still mayor in the 2nd movie! Even Burke gets slugged!
Thunderclash Rules! (@kurthy.bsky.social) reply parent
It's great watching the story beats. Bruce is only glimpsed one time before the pond. But it's horror, normal life, reactions as if things are normal, horror, science, horror, the hunt. And I never noticed how upbeat the music is unless someone's going to die. Adventure type stuff.
Thunderclash Rules! (@kurthy.bsky.social)
It was really fun to see Jaws in the theater. Few things I really haven't noticed before: Longshoreman Quint seems to have better teeth than rich boy Hooper until he puts away his false tooth. Quint is actually very understanding of Brody until he gets rattled by Bruce. But he hates Hooper.
