    Would you like to see a film? It’s $60 to enter the movie theater. A chair to sit in is $10. You wanted to see the film? You need the glasses to unscramble the screen image. $40. Audio? That’s for due paying subscribers $4.99/mo. You want to exit the theater? $120. In case of fire? Cleaning up your ashes generates a $200 fee.











  • 9Yeah those 3 years really demonstrate how the myth of ‘‘they married young in the past’’ can’t possibly be a myth.

    Average marrying age in 1950 was 20. Well after high school, and there’s plenty of scandals documented of middle aged or old men marrying teens that drew responses of shock and moral outrage.

    Most scholarship on this said the mid 20s is when views in the US shifted to viewing teenagers marrying as morally wrong.


  • Yeah, let me walk you through it. JULIETTE has parents. In the play. Those parents that are her parents. THOSE parents, Juliette’s parents, THEY say that she’s TOO YOUNG to get married. Her parents. They say that. They say she’s too young at 13 to get married. What they mean by saying this, about Juliette, their daughter, is that she’s only 13 and shouldn’t be married, because she’s TOO young. Her AGE. It’s too small for marriage. They say this in the play. Juliette’s parents. It’s a subtle nod to the people watching the play, so they can get the idea that the parents of Juliette think that she isn’t old enough to be married. At her age in the play.


  • Not that normal. In Romeo and Juliette her parents tell Paris that while they agree to the betrothal they won’t let them marry immediately until she’s ‘‘a few seasons older’’ but also, the plays were for everyday people, and aristocrat’s were the only people marrying so young, and Paris is this big good get for the family to have ties to, so it makes sense he doesn’t see a problem but her parents do.

    I once asked an exterminator I hired at a job site what a particular bug was called, as I only knew them as ‘blood suckers’ growing up. He then huckled at me and said ‘‘I call em dead after I get through with em’’ and I realized Dale Gribble was a cartoon character who wasn’t based on a true story.


  • Wow it’s really hard to pin down a definition of Nihilism. Anyway, I always saw Nihilism as a view that nothing is meaningful, that everything means nothing. But not that nothing matters. If you have no meaning to ascribe value to anything or anyone, you wouldn’t find meaning in unnecessary harm or discomfort to others, in a harm reduction mindset.
