Credit scores are in part based on the oldest line of available credit, which for most people are their student loans. Pay those off, your oldest line of credit becomes something more recent, and your score goes down as a result
Parents have the option of homeschooling their kids. That's them exercising their authority. But public school curriculum should be decided by an apolitical body that follows evidence based practices. Don't like it as a parent? Then homeschool.
We will never be able to end crime if we continue to treat crime as a personal failing.
If everyone followed the one rule "keep as much space in front of me to the next car, as there is behind me to the next car, at all times" it would do the most to alleviate most traffic jams.
In light of seeing your fellow conservatives move farther right (and thus, kinda push the definition of the body of conservative beliefs farther right), on what grounds do you still identify as conservative? What does being a conservative mean to you?
I find your criticism of the parts of the movie you don't like to be super weak and unspecific. The crux of the entire movie is the juxtaposition between what's it's like in Barbie ruled barbie world vs ken ruled barbie world. It's literally the lens though which the movie criticizes patriarchy.
Ken bringing patriarchy back to barbie world I don't think was a twist, it was the clear narrative arc from the moment ken fell in love with patriarchy.
Matell being villains is a clear misreading of the plot from your point of view. Matell is the butt of the joke the entirety of the film. They don't drive the plot, and were never in control of anything that happens. Why would you expect them to become the villains? That's your own internal biases leaking (and maybe putting too much of Mugatu onto will Farrell)
Lastly, in much the same way that the opening of barbie is an homage to 2001 a space Odyssey, (that scene they are parodying specifically in the original movie is about the death of old paradigms and the beginning of new ones), the beach battle is an homage to patriarchally driven war media, specifically D-Day scenes such as from saving private Ryan. It's the death of patriarchy subverted through a traditionally patriarchal approach.
