Chadwick Boseman fans furious after shocking Oscars loss

Barnie2years comments on Apr 26, 2021:

Everything anyone does creates outrage for someone. No matter which team wins a sporting event, supporters of the other team are going to be critical of the ref calls. No matter who wins a race, fans of the loser are going to blame some minutiae that caused their hero to not win. The big difference is nowadays with the Internet the disgruntled have a huge platform to blow off steam that would have been dinner table or party gas twenty years ago.

Barnie2years comments on Apr 1, 2018:

Interesting premise and also helps explain why the fundamentalist and most severe religious believers can overcome the much greater numbers of secular or even moderates believers. They use the power of community and shared faith to organize and back regressive political parties and candidates, with little abstention. While non believers debate the differences between Atheist and Agnostic, Liberal and Progressive, the religious conservatives are circling the wagons tighter with little dissent, making it easier to get them to vote en mass with little critical thinking. As much as I enjoy being an Atheist, my prognosis for the near future of liberalism and turning the tide of religious dominance of politics is dim. Our best chance of effecting change is the implosion of the Republican Party by its own greed and total lack of humanity. If they can become as fractured as the Democrats, there may be a time when our country can reclaim the mantel of a great democracy. At the moment, we have become more and more an Oligarchy, run by corporate greed and Christian Theocracy. Only if the masses of scattered liberals and moderates can find common ground can this path be changed.

Meeting a person you have chatted with for a long time online for the first time in person is always interesting. I took a trip a few years back to meet with two women I had been chatting with online for a while, on for 12 years. We had never even done a video chat, just messaging. One in Buffalo NY, we had only been talking for short time. I actually think I met her on here, though she is on longer on. The other, a French Canadian woman I had met on another dating site years ago. We correspond in French, which is fun. I follow both of them on Facebook and decided it would be fun to actually meet them. So I packed Barnie up and we drove to Buffalo for a night, where I met C for dinner. Then on to Montreal, where I spent a few days meeting A at her place for dinner and chats. Nothing came of either, but we are still online buddies. And it was a nice trip.
