I wouldn’t say “ashamed” but yes, in that era, Elisabeth was considered not heavy but a little chubby.

Shows you how much standards have changed as now women who are clearly obese are called “skinny” by many and sometimes “emaciated.” Anyway, in the film which this still is from Elisabeth Shue — as she typically did then — played the grounded, moral character and a typical American normie girl who was not overly obsessed with her looks and just wanted to have some fun. So that’s why she was just a little chubby (for that time).

She was good in the part, though the film is not that great.

Anyway, now liking any woman under 50 is considered “creepy” by the idiot left, so there’s that.

Pines

Chill Annoying

There’s at least one abandoned house in our neighborhood. This is an upper middle class area with $700,000+ homes. But it’s California, so what Misha said applies here. We speculate some old person either died or went to Shady Pines and the kids (if any) have no incentive to do anything with the house.

This began on progressive blogs in 2003-2005 timeframe. It got much worse from there, but that’s where it all started. Most people situate this quite incorrectly in time and origin because they were not there.

If you showed up and earnestly asked questions to attempt to learn more, well, that was very bad. You were accused of JAQing off, derailing the conversation, were obviously a terrible progressive if you didn’t already know this stuff, and then you were ridiculed and dismissed. It was even worse if you disagreed in any way. Then they would say you were “literally Hitler” and you’d be immediately banned.

This stunning dismissal of curiosity and allowance of any differing views then managed to metastasize to the entire culture. So now we’re here. But it all began on blogs like Pandagon, Shakesville, and the broader feminist/progressive blogosphere of that era. Those sites did not invent that brand of moralized contempt, of course, but they did mainstream it. They were the leaders of treating any disagreement as malicious, taking any confusion as bad faith, seeing all questions as sabotage, treating curious outsiders as interlopers, and accepting the already-converted as the only legitimate audience.

And from that inauspicious beginning, much that was terrible resulted.

Valor Pallor

Looking back, the left was cooked when it started valorizing being a fat weak layabout loser rather than having any sort of positive vision for humanity.

How can a movement that has that as their highest aspiration achieve anything worthwhile? Well, it can’t. As can be clearly seen now.

No Increase

Chill Annoying, Clowns

Ain’t gonna be no kind of birth rate increase in a moral climate where a large percentage of the population believes being attracted to your own partner dehumanizes them and is offensive.

Just sayin’.

Province

Chill Annoying, Clowns

That is true about the wokesters not at all understanding the cultures they weirdly fetishize. It’s puzzling, but they are just as provincial as someone from my neck of the woods who has never traveled outside of their home county. No matter where they’ve been.

Third worldism and Islamoleftism are just terrible.
