40m, grew up in liberal matriarchy & want to switch teams. I believe in the Bill of Rights. I believe civil discourse is the only thing that can save us.

Since Flock loves to track our locations, it only seems fair that we know theirs. Flock Safety's new GA plant is located at 1885 Mitchell Rd, Smyrna, GA 30082 Flock went to great lengths to keep that address hidden. That probably means it should be public info.

@LeonKatany @SonnyBunch You sure? I think you need to quote more Hollywood diviserity rules at me, to prove how totally not crazy the Hollywood diversify rules are. Please keep going. You're not making my point for me or anything.

@Pointer1517446 @SonnyBunch And what is that if it wins oscars with just a white cast? And don't give me that Jewish character defence since thats been pathetically debunked.

See, THIS is my favorite ODYSSEY backlash because it’s not *remotely* true, it’s just idiocy regurgitated by people who think Elon Musk knows what he’s talking g about.

@CapitalF @pebonilla It's an example of how absurd Hollywood culture is. The celebrate race-swapping native people out of their own cultural heritage while at the same time bragging about representation and inclusion. The whole thing is silly.

@Pointer1517446 @pebonilla A country like this does it because 1) It'll employee a lot of Greek crew members and 2) it'll make money for the economy in all sorts of sectors. Countries giving tax credits to foreign productions don't get dibs on who gets cast in speaking parts

@LeonKatany @SonnyBunch You had to look up the Oscars meticulously documented diversity rules in order to, in your mind "win" the argument about the diversity rules. It's utterly amazing that you keep proving my point. And you keep insulting me while you do it. Bravo.

@MN_Vikings_Pete @SonnyBunch BS. Your team is right now praising how wonderful the "representation" is on Moana. You spent 10 years crusading about "representation" but when we apply your own standards back on you, you see how silly it has all been.

@Pointer1517446 @SonnyBunch "replaced with a GREEK person would give ur own definition or representation" While I understand that racial quotas and representation are important to you, I guess I simply believe in hiring the best actor or actress from the job, without consideration for their race.

@esjesjesj Nolan filmed in Greece, got tax money from the Greek government. Then cast ZERO greeks. He race swapped a native people out of their own cultural heritage. All while you applaud Moana for its native representation. You DO understand the problem here, you are just playing dumb.

@LeonKatany @SonnyBunch Again, you are quoting written rules, that explicitly measure if movies are "diverse" enough to qualify for awards. This is absurd. Your entire culture is absurd. Your idea kd "winning" is pulling up written rules that define how "diverse" movies are required to be. Its silly.

@LeonKatany @SonnyBunch I'm saying that you're quoting written rules that measure if a movie is "diverse" enough and this shows your culture has become absurd.

@IMDBorg Both of those actually had decent scripts. Besides, audiences are more picky than they were a couple years ago. A trip to the movies now costs have of a normal persons paycheck. We take leas chances now.

@Pointer1517446 @ReelShiftJoe I prefer quality actors in movies. Of every movie was 100% accurate to the subject there would be a lot of boring, terribly acted movies.

One of the reasons Im against #TheOdyssey backlash... Because I've already seen people saying they are waiting for the REAL reviews, meaning that if you don't trash the film your opinion isn't legitimate. Culture War has made REAL film discussion impossible & it needs to end.

@LeonKatany @SonnyBunch You are literally quoting written rules to measure if a movie is "diverse" enough to qualify for an award. Any sane person can see Hollywood culture is absurd.

@Pointer1517446 @SonnyBunch Doesn't the rules say that the cast (the actors) should meet the DEI standards, not the characters? According to your pea-brain logic.

@MN_Vikings_Pete @SonnyBunch It's becoming more and more clear you did not even read anything I wrote and ur arguing with your own imagination. My argument is that ANY cast member replaced with a GREEK person would give ur own definition or "representation," you're just making things up to feel smart.

@Pointer1517446 @SonnyBunch Look at that non-answer. I've seen professional baseball players from LA who are less dodgers than this. So I ask again: Which casting, if replaced by a white person, would make the movie ineligible for an Oscar? By which criteria? This is your claim, remember. Defend it.

@JJ_Kresl @Yeenie_Mcbeenie We are pointing out your double standards. We are applying your own standards to you, in the same way you apply those we standards to us. And you don't like that.

@Pointer1517446 @Yeenie_Mcbeenie You guys never had this energy for 99% of other movies that do the same. Also it’s a fantasy adaptation. The creative can do what they want. Ever think about that?
