If you ask enough people, you'll find out that Jesus apparently has a problem with everyone except white heterosexual virgins. Everyone else is an abomination that is going straight to hell.

Yes it always makes me smile when everyone shows this picture as what the Last Supper absolutely was:
As if a group of natives from a region on the Mediterranean Sea in a country currently bordered by Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt would exclusively consist of only 13 pasty white people.

While he probably wouldn't be as frowny-face towards them as many might think, I'm sure he'd be astonished at how utterly pervasive they have become in recent years and wonder what that was all about.

Well, until recently, acceptance towards the LGBTQ+ community was on the rise. Thus, you were seeing more drag queens because they became more comfortable being that person out in public.

I really doubt there were legions of drag queens over the decades just lurking under the surface- waiting with baited breath to finally be free and suddenly appear at public libraries, schools, the White House, the Olympics, etc.
Seems more likely a deliberate agenda to center and normalize. And then of course gaslight everybody about it.
While at the same time having the audacity to have all the NPCs say over and over again that a veteran in a suit is "weird"

US up 1-0 on Guinea early on a hell of a free kick to get in the drivers seat to advance past the group stage.

I'm pretty sure drag has been around for a lot longer than you seem to believe it is

Live and let live. Laugh at things that are funny. Turn away and ignore that which you don't care for....things go a lot easier that way for me.

I was watching them play against New Zealand this AM at Sports Clips. Those are some tough broads, much respect.
Nobody ever said it hasn't been around a long time.

Hell. Bird was better in a tougher era.

1. Jordan
Then you have Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Kevin Durant, Wilt, Magic, Duncan, Malone (both), Pippen, Barkley, and so on.
Larry Bird would be sending modern players to the bench crying lol.

Don't forget Kareem, and a player who never seems to get the credit he deserves: Oscar Robertson.

I thought for sure I had Kareem, I think Bill Russell is the most over looked though lol.

The problem is the era.
1) Most people weren't alive when he played.
2) He played when there were what, 9-10 NBA teams? Not to mention the training that guys go through now. There were no Jordans, Magic, Kobe, etc...
That's not to say that if Bill Russell played today, he wouldn't have the same advantages of training, nutrition, immersion into Basketball, etc.. that these stars did and wouldn't be just as dominant though, but it leads people to over look guys for those eras.
As much as I hated Bird back then, the guy was a freak. Probably the most mentally strong player I've ever seen, including Jordan.

Bird would mentally destroy players today. I've watched interviews of people who played against him, talking about how he would complain to opposing coaches for putting white guys on him to guard him. He would go into the 3pt competition ask whose coming in 2nd, then drop every bucket.
He was one of a kind.

Watching the replay tonight, it's legitimately insane that Biles can jump that high. I know the floor acts like a trampoline, but she's 4'8 able to reach 12' on her floor routine. Damn!

Upside down, lol.
At our poker game the other night I noted that Biles could well be the most athletically gifted out of everyone competing at the Olympics. What she does is freaking amazing.
