    Yes, he was always a conservative. That's why I posted originally that he probably voted third party in 2016. But his business is rhetoric and social viability, so hating Trump is the obvious move.

    @taiwan_girl It’s an unknowable question, basically a variant of the ‘hard problem of consciousness’. I once made the point to my son that his red and my red could be different and we’d never know. It made him a bit agitated to think about.

    @george-k Love watching the videos of in process. Sometimes I get to the point after the underpainting (toned canvas, thinned brown oil paint) and just want to call them done because I like them like that.

    @aqua-letifer said in Jordan Peterson - Season 4 Episode 1: Matthew McConaughey: @jolly said in Jordan Peterson - Season 4 Episode 1: Matthew McConaughey: MM was filming a movie around Baton Rouge several years ago. He likes boiled crawfish and seafood, and used to frequent a hole-in-the-wall place my SIL and her husband ate at pretty frequently. He kept things very low key, driving around town in an old, beat up pickup, wearing boots, jeans, a t-shirt and a trucker's cap. It was kind of a point of pride in the place, that pretty much everybody knew who he was, but didn't bother him other than to say hello if they walked by his table in the back. I'm guessing that was when he was doing True Detective? Got me. He finally had to quit dropping by, when The Baton Rouge Advocate did a story on him. One more tidbit to the story...When he did Free State of Jones, which was filmed at Clinton, my nephew got a single line bit part, because McConaughey remembered him (my nephew has a pretty impressive red beard). His part was edited out in the final cut and the only appearance my nephew makes is as the body of a dead Union soldier.

    Hyperbole and word salad words have gotten so bad that the new resume rules call for expungement of this kind of crap.

    My teacher used to make us ride heels down without stirrups as part of the warm up and until such time that we all doing it correctly. Since we had earn our stirrups we quickly learned the importance of our upper leg and leaning back.

    I would love to see this go to SCOTUS. I understand both sides of the argument - though watching heads explode (on both sides) regardless of how SCOTUS rules.

    @jolly said in NYT opinion writer calls for lynching Pence: Basically, y'all are mostly full of crap. But, we knew that, anyway. Not at all - I'd commented a few days ago that Pence has done himself a lot of good over the last couple of months. Anybody that actually thinks that he betrayed America is an idiot, IMHO.
