also, your entire point is silly. conservatism is the belief system that values things without evaluating them.

progressive belief system: Adopting change X is good because it has this befit for this reason

conservative belief system: maintain X how it is because change bad


That's also a pretty myopic viewpoint. Both conservatives and progressives are frequently guilty of ignoring inconvenient facts and ultimately both groups have what they believe are beneficial reasons for either changing things or leaving them as they are and to pretend otherwise is kind of embarrassingly disingenuous.

Joaquin Phoenix is a better Joker than Heath Ledger


He wasn't even really playing the joker. The hook that sold him on the movie was Todd Phillips telling him they'll sneak in a "real movie" under the guise of a comic movie and it honestly does seem like a script that originally had fuckall to do with comics and was adapted to be a comic story. It's a pretty good movie and Phoenix was fantastic in it, but he wasn't a great joker.

Also even if he was he still wasn't better than Ledger.

I am so sick of people pretending like because two situations aren't identical in every way they are therefore completely incomparable. Stop it. Correct your attitude and understand that these people are victims of shitty people too.

And not only is it legal, but they're allowed to require an actual written correspondence to opt out by a deadline of their choosing, calling or emailing isn't good enough.
