I just read something comparing the fight against masks to the fight against seat belts. I wonder if any of them are the same people.

What if the gender roles of 9 to 5 were reversed? 3 male employees and a female boss? would that go over?

I think it depends on the quality of the cast and whatever other changes we’re made to the original. That said, given recent history, it might be harder to sell that pitch today than 10 years ago.

I heard a remake was in the works with women of color in the leads. I just started wondering about how different the movie might be with a gender swap. Three black men tie up a white woman.
Three gay men?

I didn't realize how much food 5 lbs of ground beef and 2 boxes of Rice A Roni is. I expected to have leftovers, but I have LEFTOVERS. The plan was to have several meals for several days. I I accomplished that goal.

That’s probably freezable, so you could stash half or so away in ziplock bags for future use. Just break it up into portions of 1-2 servings before packing it away- squeezing out all the air to prevent freezer burn- and you’re golden.

Yeah, that stuff is good for about 2 weeks in the freezer before it starts to lose it's flavor when it thaws...

It appears my fears are warranted. It's not the army, it's just unmarked, unidentified federal agents.

Pretty bogus stuff, I agree.

It’s not even clear they actually government agents- one vet I know was speculating that they were Blackwater-style mercenaries. His reasoning was based on noting that some of the Nameless Ones caught on film were technically out of uniform. That is to say they were wearing their uniforms & gear in ways that would not pass official muster, and would be grounds for disciplinary action in any military unit or federal agency he could name.

Not 100% sure which is worse...but I think I’d rather it be mercs than military or federal employees who swore an oath to defend the Constitution from “all enemies, foreign and domestic”. ESPECIALLY after active-duty and retired high-level military and agency leaders went on record this year about the duty to ignore unlawful orders.

I got one for ya. I saw a police officer harassing a man on a bicycle. I wanted to yell out the window "Bike Lives Matter"

I heard a speculation they were "militia" members. Or worst this could encourage "militias" to kidnap people. I'm not sure about it being them. Mercs make more sense but still not better. It's all scary.
