The whole "The uncanny valley implies" drives me up a wall. We have always (and still do) have something that looks just like a real human but isn't: corpses.

You can even see it in how people try to describe something that triggers the uncanny valley, they'll almost always say the face and eyes don't look right, the eyes are glassy or dead looking. Our brain recognizes ahuman that is either already dead or horribly ill and possibly contagious and wants us to get the fuck away from it.

Yeah, but the popularity of things like crystals, incense and herb burning has been a net positive for the tribes though. Sure, some of the cultural significance is lost once it falls under the umbrella of New Age beliefs, but more people learning and practicing these things makes them less likely to disappear not more.

These people aren't invading tribal lands and stealing sage they're buying it from stores that also carry books about the traditions and where they come from.

How are those two things any different? Burning herbs to get rid of negative spirits/energy and promote healing/calm are incredibly common in most cultures. It doesn't become a sacred religious rite when someone of native descent does it but a stupid superstition because "ignorant white people" started doing it.

When meeting a total stranger in a parking lot at night, video isn't a bad idea to have.

Yeah, I work for Target and keep an eye on this kind of thing, they had above average losses via shortage, but not enough to warrant closing the store. All of the Targets happened to be in buildings that weren't accepting "exceptionally high theft rates" as a justification to lower or keep the same rent. The rent went up, Target left. Pure coincidence though, I'm sure it was definitely all the "unprecedented levels of theft".

It always really bothered me she didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, and Al Gore got it that year instead.

job until you burn out entirely, you won't be able to help anyone. Remember, you deserve support, love and peace of mind yourself.

teaching, you can still help at risk kids in other ways. You can tutor or volunteer in any number of programs. If you keep working at this

His defenders say his childhood broke him and he never fully developed and was only comfortable around kids, others say he was a pedophile

No movie exec would tell John Wayne no at that point, especially with the way Hollywood worked at that time.

To be fair, John Wayne was his fault, he read the script on his agents desk and wanted it while he was the biggest movie star on Earth.

Sadly, it wasn't even their database that triggered it. A family who's daughter he stalked threatened legal action after being ignored.

Bold of you to think the US Government would care, we had water treaty rights over the Colorado river with Mexico too.

Yeah IIRC this was part of an angle where the show had been "hijacked" due to the McMahons losing power.

He was also ALMOST the Undertakers tag team partner at WM 19. They decided he too green and made it a handicap match with Nathan running in.

Agreed. Imagine what Trump or Desantis would do with that sort of precedence. "They spread Democrat propaganda, saying I lost the election."
