    That would have been a good opening scene for the pretty good movie Cocaine Bear.

    It likely good in the way Sharknado was good but not in the way Cujo was good.

    probably very good if you’re doing bumps (not that I can recall what that feels like).

    Cocaine Bear was wonderfully comedic with some gore. My kid liked it. So did I. 70% on rotten tomatoes.

    I liked Plane too. Good mindless fun. Gerard has the lone hero movie formula down.

    I didn't realize how concerned you were about others, especially those receiving free tampons.

    I know it taxed my creative responses to the auditors who always had "questions"

    Appreciate the tip, I’ve found my appetite for gratuitous gore has waned as I’ve gotten older, I’ll give cocaine bear a shot as i do enjoy an authentic belly laugh. I’m still mad at myself for waiting so long on Ted lasso. I purposely don’t want to finish as then it will be officially over like the day after Christmas as a kid

    If "men" don't use tampons then who does use them and why?

    You get all riled up about a woman terminating a clump of cells, but then when someone wants to help ensure a child has basic hygiene products, you ridicule them.

    So incredibly, very typical of people like you and you lack the awareness to be embarrassed.

    They're not insane. They're just hateful.

    Maybe you should read the whole thread so that you don't look foolish.

    If you’re against woke, does that mean you just like to sleep?

    I read the short bill and don't see those phrases in it. I guess she's against the bill because someone supporting it used those words? Seems like an odd argument to me.

    And he specifically said he was not calling it woke, because he could articulate why he disagreed.
    I think the people calling this woke just think it’s taboo, or something they don’t feel comfortable discussing in the open, or a woman’s problem, but don’t want to say it. Or don’t even realize that’s why they are against it. So woke becomes the phrase to use, because it’s become the catch all for the right.
