It's kinda not really the older generations, though, it's more capitalism. Where does that start and end?

That is exactly what I thought. Especially when he had a 3yo.
Behind the scenes, most of these people have had the vaccine, too. That makes it so much more evil. They essentially want a percentage of the population to die? I don't understand the end game. Is it just part of the culty stuff? Getting people to suspend their critical thinking entirely?
You wanna check you don't have secret people living in your attic...
They make no losses, really. The people who pirate, either can't afford it or can't access it, or are done with the bullshit and taking a political stance to disengage. They were never among their customer base, anyway.
Aww, man! I gotta use this on the receptionist next time I go to the doctors!
There's so many masses that are really feeling the pressure of the cost of living, millimetres away from rising up on their own. Loudly. If someone good tapped into that, and fuelled their hopes, it would be an avalanche.
I like you, son!
People tend to take out of shows what they want it to say. It's very consistently acknowledged, House is an asshole. People are openly terrified of becoming like him. They consistently work to fix him. So he's not like that. That said, I love House, I've been watching it repeatedly since it aired. I still find new layers to the subtext and relationships of the show. And the reason people tried to help House, not be like he is, is because he has a richly developed character with deep endearing empathy and sympathy for others, he consistently puts others before himself, sometimes risking his own life, just to save someone else. He might say the asshole thing, but it's calculated and planned for a good outcome, he might be helping someone face an uncomfortable truth that will ultimately save a life. Like how he spoke to the family of the guy in the wheelchair who pushed himself into the pool. He needs answers that politeness wouldn't allow, like the guy who refused to admit he was taking steroids. But was. He thinks his meanness is purposeful, even towards his team. He has that old school boomer gen attitude of toughing people up to motivate them. Which, during his character growth he comes to realise isn't right. He deeply cares about the people closest to him. Often giving them kind and endearing comforting words when they need them. He is a balance, and he is in a lot of pain. Even the kindest person is a bit of an asshole when in constant pain. The show is a little dated, in the sense that we as a society have realised those jokes are beneath us and we strive to be better, so don't make those references that hurt others when we realise. But there's not too many spots like that, it does well for its age, mostly.
Yeah, those poor 90's kids were dealing with some unacknowledged or untreated intergenerational trauma, parenting, a cycle which they've been working on breaking. It's really hard to have emotional regulation and not take out your feelings on someone else when you have no pre frontal cortex development, yet, and you've never had that exampled for you, by parents. Not having a go at you, at all, or refuting you, your statement is entirely true, they (we) were assholes at times. I just find the second half to that story hugely uplifting.
You are so astute! That's such a perfect explanation.
They were the only 3 they looked at. It's not about them being sub par quality, they measured for smaller nano plastics than have been tested before. I would assume all plastic containers do this, with a rate of speed relative to the medium contained within. All drinks with plastic, maybe the carbonated drinks move the plastic particles faster, even. How much of the food we consume is wrapped in plastic, and doing this.
