        Is it weird to be attracted to younger women, know that marriage isn’t for you, and then have different relationships within the type that interests you?

        Idk, I think he’s just marching to his own drummer rather than being an Epstein.

          It is weird he hasn’t matured in any way since his 20s, yes. Usually humans continue to develop throughout their lives, interest in relationships with people significantly younger than you either shows you haven’t matured since the rough age they are, or you feel people your own age are far too challenging due to their equal footing and prefer manipulating less mature people.

    At first, I was like, “Who cares?”

    But as I think about it, people and especially Conservatives, love to use the Wolf of Wall Street as a source of memes and personal meaning. They imagine their heroes are Jordan Belfort “sticking it to the elites,” and I have to wonder if they won’t feel some kind of cognitive dissonance when they want to use this character in the future, now that DiCaprio has come out against Trump and in support of Harris.

        I know you’re being facetious, but just to be clear for those in the back (since the internet often misunderstands words), you can experience cognitive dissonance and still continue doing the same things afterwards.

        It’s just that uncomfortable feeling when you are presented with an idea that conflicts with your beliefs about reality. I fully expect they’ll figure out how to get past it with some mental gymnastics, a thought-terminating-cliche, or (gasp) accepting reality and recognizing that the character is fictional.

    Why do people care what a non politician says about a politician? Stupid person cult fan club behavior.

      Endorsements have been a thing throughout a lot of human history because we are very social beings. It may sound silly, but some people literally care more what an entertainer says instead of any or all politicians or political experts, and will vote because of it.

    I’m just shocked that this is still up for debate. This year the weather has been erratic to say the least.

    Worse even if Democrats win and there are no spoilers in the party (Mnuchin or Sinema), you are still only getting cap and trade which at one point was the Republican plan for climate change before they decided to go to full denialism.
