What made you think you could work with men?
I was watching Lighthouse and started thinking about Men's Movies.
We she things for women and kids, but then whatever is mainstream is for everyone including men+ and it must shoehorn in something for everyone now.
Lighthouse, Robinson Crusoe, are men's films.
You aren't going to enjoy it if you aren't them. You can do the "I'm one of the guys" routine, but the honest truth is "if a chick is in the room" the mood has changed.
No matter what.
It is part of evolution and to observe other species is to observe particles. They'll behave because their being watched.
Earlier we were eating lunch at a local BBBQ joint, it was BYOBB, the third B was a typo.
The mom in a group corrected someone that Marines are Marines, Soldiers are the Army, Seaman is a Sailor in the Navy, and Airman is an Airforce person.
This is correct. The Marines are the Army for the Navy. They are different. What motivates some to enlist in certain branches is sometimes random and other times inspired.
Speaking to friends and family, one enlisted in the Marines because of video games and really being drawn to the image.
One chose the Army because of John Rambo and Captain America.
One chose the Marines because of Sgt. Slaughter the GI Joe/WWF character.
One chose the Navy because of his grandfather. His grandfather loved that scene in Jaws when Quint described the USS Indianapolis.
The USS Indianapolis (CA-35) was a U.S. Navy heavy cruiser famous for delivering atomic bomb components before being sunk by a Japanese submarine in the final months of World War II. The Indianapolis was built in Camden, New Jersey, launched in 1931, and commissioned in 1932. After a secret mission to deliver parts for the Little Boy atomic bomb to the island of Tinian, the ship was torpedoed and sunk in the early hours of July 30, 1945. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 880 sailors and Marines, making it the U.S. Navy's worst-ever at-sea disaster.
Mission Accomplished because the bomb was dropped and the war was ended.
We recently took in Jaws with the kids in the theatre they were under the impression it was the latest installment. The older kids who have digested a binge of all 4 Jaws in a weekend as a kid has a cool take on the film as the family is affected by some sort of Shark Attraction and it comes down to the mom and son and a battle of primates versus fish.
In the Bible the story of Elijah and a she-bear fucking up a gang of youths has seen some speculate that this could be a mob like we are use to seeing for BLMAGBTQ mobs. Not a group of kids but more in line with a posse or the group in Warriors.
2 Kings 2:23-24
New International Version
Elisha Is Jeered
23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
Though lets look at the bald older man contended with an arrogant bunch of youths. What can a pack of chimps do to an older chimp? Bears? Lions?
Okay. So Nature red in tooth and claw, right? Isn't that what Lord Tennyson's poem says from the 1800s. 1830s?
Damn, right red in claw.
King James Version translation:
24. And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him.
25. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, "Surely a bloody husband art thou to me."
26. So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
In the kingdom if you start slipping up, sinning, it adds up as death.
Like the people in the land that Joshua battles. They had been carrying on sacrificing children for 400 years and that was long enough to not only hamstring your society because babies are best born and not served cold.
Other animals come in. Romans eventually come in but not after Assyria, Babylon, and Persia slide by and then leave them open for Hellenizing.
Chosen People means chosen for something, remember when the Drill Sergeant needs a chosen few, that doesn't mean the work is easy. So if you have to be the Pick of The Litter than that demonstrates a purpose, will, and use of reality.
The "species swap" between North and South America is known as the Great American Biotic Interchange, which occurred after the Isthmus of Panama formed a land bridge about 2.7 to 3 million years ago. This event allowed for massive migration in both directions, though the exchange was disproportionately one-sided, with far more North American species migrating south and thriving, while fewer South American species made it north and many were outcompeted or went extinct.
Southbound migrants (from North to South)
Mammals: Horses, camels, bears, cats, wolves, and peccaries moved south.
Other species: Some birds, reptiles, amphibians, and freshwater fish also migrated south.
Northbound migrants (from South to North)
Mammals: Giant armadillo relatives called glyptodonts, ground sloths, capybaras, opossums, and porcupines moved north.
Other species: Some unique South American animals, such as certain rodents and marsupials, also moved north.
Love
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.
2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body,a but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. 6Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.
7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.
9For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.
11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways.
12Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
I want to focus on verse 11.
When I was a child.
You don't stop being one because you came of age legally.
You may be an adult but that doesn't make you a man or woman.
There are some kids that are full blown adults at 18. That is not the average. It takes a long time to become a man. It is and it isn't immediately achieved. Dads that aren't around still are dads and still get the discount on Fathers' Day despite doing nothing.
This doesn't ride with me to well and it took a while to see and to realize the transition of becoming a man. Perhaps society is reflecting certain folks pretending or being convinced they can do a better job or should be something other than what we see is become people are all afraid of becoming the man.
We fear the one who has to put his foot down. Remember in the special when you avoid going home the person who does punish you isn't taking away your television, they are taking away your dignity or robbing you of your life.
Fuck the police is the clever slogan and fun for the youth. It is classy when someone mentions paying the cops salary but they never bring it up to folks on SNAP who are paying their celery.
Bad joke. Folks on SNAP usually aren't into celery.
I checked.
When should you start to eat celery? When the wings come.
At some point you have to leave the Jackass crew and you're going to need something more. It's cold when you're lonely. When you have the option it isn't cold, then it is you deciding the temperature, normally because someone else is covering the bill and maintenance for the air conditioner.
Your form of being a loner involves not paying rent, keeping the AC on, eating what you want even though the food choices suck, ignoring everyone and listening to "my music" even though the cell phone music you have been working on sucks and isn't real music.
The battle will rage on but Quint put an arrow in the back of the monster on that day to help the boys bring down the monster of their time to keep the cycle of monster fighters churning.
Someone will always need to step up to fight the monsters. Occasionally an Eowyn is needed because of a technical battle where the Witch King can only die at the hands of a woman, like in Jaws 4 or in the Bible when the SEED of Eve will smash the Serpent's head.
Genesis 3:15
New International Version
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed] and hers; he will crush[b] your head, and you will strike his heel.”
Woman's seed?
Oh yeah. Because it is referencing Mary's pregnancy. Not born by the seed of man.
Good men, with the help of nature on the 8th day, can circumsize a baby boy and not need to worry because they are doing well enough to not be roaming and not able to care for him.
Same with how you treat older people. A good man cares for the old man passing through. They don't fuck him.
Deuteronomy 10:19 ("Love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt")
Hebrews 13 says
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
What about Roma's question?
Perhaps we flip it.
What made you think you couldn't work with men?
Who suggested that?
What set the split for some work?
Maybe this is why things are falling apart? Men and Women forgot to act like, act like, men and women and now they are being usurped by people who are trying to fill in what is missing. Reminding you what a man and woman is while you ask them/they to define it.
We have a lot of youths running around with Daffy Duck and Jack Skeleton on your underwear. Then you do this response, "I don't like Nightmare Before Christmas" and you think you dodged the bullet on cartoon characters and images on every stitch of clothing you own in order to show strangers you're hip or what pop-carts you've attached your horse for whom you stepped in and received the gelding for.
When is it time to act like a man or woman? Not to be a kid or youth. You can't hold on to it physically, you'll age out, so perhaps you'll maintain the mentality of a little kid but have the appearance of an older person so you can claim to "be young at heart" or fitting in (like in the movie Prime when Uma Thurman dates a guy 20 years younger than her so the viewer can relate and wish the way the girl in Twilight wishes two studs would fight over her while she stands back blending in with the scenery)
The scene showed her trying to fit in at a out of high school party with barely of age drinkers raving and she's vibes in the party in slow motion and orgasmic state. It was the least believable scene in cinema history. I was in no way convinced she was feeling it, genuine, or anything less than forced. Like when folks are having too good of a time in a Tommy Hilfiger ad.
Most people don't have teeth or haircuts that good to begin with;
But if you don't act like one how are you going to ask? Well, Darwin. You have to ask so you aren't deceived. The Deceiver doesn't want to reveal so you get accused.
Darwin says you need to investigate because you could be deceived and it could cost you evolutionarily.
You aren't in control of that either. This is determined, right? You are driven to xerox your codes with someone else, that is the reason your gear works the way it does. It is anticipating the life process.
Would the bug bother? It may be deceived, curious, even think the imitation is attractive but where does it lead for the hive or the individual.
You may need to ask so you know how to act.
A lot of women use the phrase, "You need to act like a man."
Act.
They understand you aren't going to mature for a while but you are a decent actor. You can act according to the rules and operate according to good taste and decency.
Yes, decent like....
