  • Getting something off ones chest simply means externalizing, saying it out loud for the sake of doing the act. This isnt a soapbox, this is an audience/support network for shouting into the void.

  • It's crazy that a 60 ton metal airplane can just fly
  • Do you appreciate the company name Airbus because of this experience?

    I think I would.

    I think it would just make me smirk a little bit at myself whenever i remembered both of them at the same time

  • Bernie Sanders blasts Democratic Party following Harris loss
  • At least a few people have lived over 120. Its the spread that exists as far as we know, but also folks like david sinclair are researching longevity seriously. Crispr and stem cells. New categoriesn of vaccines. If the world doesnt burn out here, and we dont all kill each other its technically possible i could see the year 2100. Ill get to be one of the very few people who can say they remember 3 different centuries.

    Not bad end... If im really lucky?

  • What song did you love until you found out what it was about?
  • Im sorry that I didnt notice the times of posts. I also slept, and responded when i woke up. Apologies for that.

    You keep repeating that im not addressing what the song is about. Yes very much that is entirely and solely what im addressing.

    If you dont stop repeating the same wrong thing, then dont be surprised when you keep being told the same thing.

    You refuse to accept that your interpertion is flawed. As indicated by disputing other peoples arguments with evidence from a movie that the song predates. Thats not historical context, its a simple timeline. Im establishing a time line. Thats a very normal thing to do. Ita not bad faith. Explain why im wrong because ive explained why your argument had problems. This is a big one of them

    YOU specifically related scenes in a movie as evidence of meaning to the song. Thats the problem.

    Also i read the article from the post i copied. Its not just a quote from the song writers song addressing this. Let it be known the only value of that article in my opinion is the explanation from the song writers kid. The commentary in the article by the writer on that page is bad.

  • What song did you love until you found out what it was about?
  • I actually just copied someone else's post because you accused someone if ignoring something while completely ignoring this person's post. You are a hypocrite who can't seem to accept that words mean different things in different contexts. You are hung up on how we perceive things today and not the world as it was at the time this work was created.

    Do you know that the phrase "hey what's in this drink" was an excuse to do things you wanted to do but were not supposed to do.

    You keep referring to a movie that used this song. And it's fine to argue that the scenes in the movie reflect a woman who doesn't want to be there, but this song is not that movie, however much you want it to be your smoking gun.

    This song predates that movie. By more than 5 years. That movie, as an explanation of the meaning of this song is absolutely meaningless, yet it is the thing you are focused on.

    You aren't listening because you are stuck on something that isn't true and are absolutely refusing to listen to any other point.

    You argue like ken ham does.

    I've already stopped posting that person's comment on your posts btw. I posted it s few times only to get your attention on it. I will go delete those unless there are replies.

    The world is not an easy place to understand. You are trying to make something fit your worldview and while there is no reason you need to like this song, or want to understand it so that it no longer bothers you, i take great exception, given the US putting a convicted felon who was in bed with Jeffrey fucking Epstein and Putin, to seeing refuse to accept reality in favour their view of the world.

    Baby it's cold outside is now a song that is only a problem for ignorant people who arent informed enough, are willfully ignorant.

    Women matter. Black lives matter. It's important to understand where problems actually exist.

    Its okay to be botherer by this song, it has an imagery that is hard not to see and misunderstand by todays standards and sensibilities. Not because the problematic behaviour of the past, such as presented in the movie you wont stop refering to, but because everyone in that era had to work around problematic behaviour. People had to be clever to be who they were in a way that is very different from today

  • What song did you love until you found out what it was about?
  • You are ignoring what you don't want to hear.

    The song predates that by five years. https://www.goretro.com/2016/12/why-baby-its-cold-outside-is-not-about.html?m=1

    Frank Loesser's son, John, was interviewed about the song by the Palm Bean Post in 2010 that was reprinted on the official site for his dad. From the article:

    “My father wrote that song as a piece of special material for he and my mother to do at parties,” says John Loesser, who runs the Lyric Theatre in Stuart, and is the son of legendary composer Frank Loesser (Guys and Dolls, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.)

    Frank Loesser’s wife, Lynn, was a nightclub singer who had moved from Terre Haute, Ind. to New York in search of a career. She was singing in a nightclub when she met Frank Loesser around 1930.

    The song itself was written in 1944, when Loesser and his wife had just moved into the Hotel Navarro in New York. They gave a housewarming party for themselves and when they did the number, everybody went crazy.

    “We had to do it over and over again,” Lynn Loesser told her kids, “and we became instant parlor room stars.”

    Performers started to take note of the song, and record covers of it. It's also featured in the 1949 musical comedy Neptune's Daughter as sung by Ricardo Montalbán and Esther Williams below. And in that movie, it takes an ironic tone since the movie takes place in a warm climate. It also earned Loesser an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
