Do whatever you can live with. That said, you have other options besides all or nothing. You can tell him that it’s taxing to be around him and ask for specific behavioral changes you’d like to see to make things more tolerable. Whether or not he agrees to them is up to him, but you’re at least trying for a workable relationship.

I emphasize behavioral change because he can’t just flip a switch on his beliefs. No one can. Our beliefs are a conclusion based a number of factors including our experiences, the information we are exposed to, our emotions, etc. He couldn’t switch his off and on any more than you could.

If you really want to affect his beliefs he will have to feel like you hear and understand them first. Be curious without expressing judgement. If he feels heard he might be more open to reciprocating that feeling and hear you out.

But you’re not obligated to do that. If you can’t take it then be honest with yourself and take care of you. Just don’t get stuck in black and white thinking

Get ready for the Bond Cinematic Universe, only on Prime and in select theaters

I thought we were going to be a color blind society based on merit?

Yeah I felt the same way. The country is falling apart and we are just supposed to continue celebrating big businesses, rich athletes, and music stars? I couldn’t really get into it.

I doubt Disney would be ok with 2 Caps simultaneously in the same universe unless Steve comes back.

But one way I could see getting Bucky as Cap would be on Battleworld, where we will get heroes from the multiverse pitted against each other. Having a different universe’s Bucky show up in the shiny Cap costume would be excellent fan service

The truth is that the party as a whole is far more interested in converting the moderate Republican than the progressive voter. If they show a willingness to work across the aisle then in their minds they are more appealing to these voters. In reality, they are eroding what’s left of their base, looking weak af

Well then Superman is going to have a bad time here

As a fellow therapist, same

She wasn’t preaching at you, unless you’re a music executive

Disney does not appear to be pulling punches, some of those fights were absolutely brutal. Literal bone popping through.

Love that they seem to be keeping the old continuity intact.

Plus the fact that they are showcasing his acrobatic skills and Billy club grappling hook, this appears to be even more comic accurate than the original series.

Love that they have the Future Foundation suit but it’s tied to Oscorp instead of the F4

Somehow I’ve never heard this one until today, and I loved it. It really is a beautiful song, and I’m not even religious

Can I stay?

Yes there are double standards but this is the wrong comparison to make that point.

Most school shooters are minors who are inelligible for the death penalty, and a large percentage don’t survive their own shooting. Either death by cop or suicide.

I have no love for insurance CEOs or our capital-first justice system, but if you’re gonna make a point don’t leave it open to be so easily picked apart.

I feel like this has promise.

I love that it leans into comic-book-iness instead of trying to make Superman grimdark. The colors are bright. It unapologetically includes Krypto. There’s a kaiju. This is what comics do. It also pays homage to the original movies with the John Williams score, but with a twist on the electric guitar so it’s also unique.

I also actually like that it’s not going to be an origin story and that other heroes already exist and are acknowledged. I don’t think the other heroes are going to play a major role, but the fact that they’re there at all is another sort of thing that the comics do. New readers just have to accept that these characters exist and don’t require a lengthy intro. I think movie audiences will be able to do the same.

Most importantly it shows that Gunn seems to understand the character. Supes isn’t dark and brooding. He’s bright and cheesy but a source of hope. Clark looks like a dork, as he should. He has chemistry with Lois.

Yes the effects are a bit rough. It’s a teaser. They will probably improve by release.

But if James Gunn can make the Guardians of the Galaxy, a team that only the most hardcore comic book fans even knew about, into a household name, I’m excited to see what he can do with Superman and the DC Universe.

The International Court of Justice does not just represent the West, it represents all UN countries. And while it did find evidence of human rights abuse it did not find evidence of genocide, because that is a high bar.

Furthermore, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, representing 300 genocide experts, condemned Russia’s use of the term to justify its own violence, as cited here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623528.2022.2099633?scroll=top&needAccess=true

You’re free to form a different opinion. But when yours is different than the majority of the world’s and the International Court, but won’t even admit that yours might be the hot take, it’s not a good look

Buddy, what he said was reprehensible and I am not trying to defend his actions or statements. But does it meet the standard of “ethnic cleansing?” The International Court and most of the world says no.

The Wikipedia article is a summary of many cited sources. There’s academic ones like The Journal of Genocidal Research. There’s a UN report from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. There’s news reports from Reuters and the BBC. There’s a report from the International Court. Though I’m sure you checked the sources before dismissing the article out of hand.

No one is saying that there was zero conflict in Donbas leading up to the invasion. But to label it as “ethnic cleansing” without even acknowledging that this claim is widely disputed internationally is at best irresponsible and at worst deceptive
