I watched the behind the scenes for that movie and found out that it wasn't even drivable. It had to be pulled for all the chase scenes with a cable along the set. Now when I've put it on I only look at how the car moves. That's one of those movies people took too seriously, it was fun.

During the last few years and specifically during 2020 covid the majority of people moving out of my blue state went to Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, or Texas. Everyone that I knew of that leaned that way basically moved to a swing state.

It kills me ...I got into it with a colleague this morning while discussing this very topic. When I brought up that whatever the current trending "bad guy" is, we will always see an increase in hate crimes against that demographic in our own country. When I used the increased attacks on anyone appearing to be slightly middle eastern after 9/11 as an example she angrily spat out that "they've killed thousands of us." And I had to remind her that she was literally giving an example of what we were discussing.

I know you're probably joking buttttt, I know a ton and can say it's a mixed bag ... Many clowns are like Santa's and magicians....they're not the most forward thinking and take themselves waaaay too seriously. Most new age and haunt clowns are cool peeps. It's the old school "clowning art" gate keepers and the evangelical clowns that tend to be insufferable. Heavy mean girl vibes.

Thank you so much for voting. I'm still hopeful as well but don't see myself sleeping anytime soon. As you said...I'm just so tired of it all but know it's just the beginning. Thanks for being my virtual anxiety buddy!

My ultimate fear is we're too late and this is a global trend, but hopefully we can break through it. (We as in humanity, my team kinda dropped the ball on this one it's looking) We need to get people educated and working towards change instead of casting blame on the "other guys" like you said. Right now though it's hard not to feel lost knowing my loved ones and my rights and safety is at stake. I hope things look up for you and your loved ones.

I'm in one of the bluest cities in one of the bluest states....I've voted in every major and local election since I was old enough, I've protested, I've tried to get people to vote, I've marched, I've tried to kindly change minds through patience....I've been doing it since high school and I don't know what else I can personally do. If people hit the streets, I'll be there. But I'm with you, it's like no matter what I personally do things are burning around me and this election proves there's much more hate in this world than I'd hoped. I still think there's light in everyone, but I can understand why people are angry with us... we're dropping the ball hard as a country. meanwhile I'll just be sitting here in the middle of the night, wide awake but exhausted, hugging my dog because we have no control and I know half the voters are okay with taking away my rights. Sending hopeful feelings for you to wherever else in the country you are.

I'm someone smack in the middle of a liberal city in an always blue state, I don't know what else there is for me to do. I've attempted helping educate and getting people to vote in other states who normally choose not to, I've voted in every election down to local boards and try to know who I'm voting for. Locally, we had a lot of successes so far this election in our state...but that won't help much if, y'know, fascism.

Same. I'm one of the few people that prefers self checkout. Covid was a magical time for me while grocery shopping. No one awkwardly had to smile after eye contact, everyone gave space and avoided each other, just get in and get out without ever taking out my headphones. Self check out is always faster where I'm from too.

My husband wants kids, I'm okay without for the same reasons as you and a big disgust of pregnancy. I have a lot of experience with kids in my career and we love kids, but it just seems the kindest thing to do for them is to not bring them into this world. We're planning on fostering once we're in a better financial position and hopefully adopting from there. I'd rather grow our family with a kid or toddler that already got the shit luck of being here.

I'm an entertainer as well and thought about fire breathing. I spoke with a couple friends who do it and them all casually talking about collapsing a lung a few times turned me off that idea.

There's a flag going around of something like, "she's as open as our borders" with a drawn picture of Harris with her legs spread open suggestively.
