He starts by pretending to captain the ship, playing with the steering wheel and horns, before he is chased away by the real captain where it is shown he is supposed to be scrubbing the decks. The ship then pulls into a small dock and he picks up Minnie Mouse, who brings a guitar and music on-board with her. A goat promptly eats the music and guitar and Mickey gets the idea to wind the goat's tail like a victrola to play music, and a sort-of musical number commences where Mickey interacts with a menagerie of animals to make sounds that compliment the song. By today's standards, some of the interactions range from amusing, to distasteful and mean-spirited. In the end he is caught again and is thrown into the boat's kitchen to peel potatoes, and throws a potato at an annoying parrot in the window, which is a last minor victory of sorts before the cartoon ends.

Disney themselves cut a scene where Mickey grabs a sow that is feeding its piglets and slaps them away, before prodding at its teats and manipulating it as if it was an accordion. Apparently this was cut not that long after the cartoon aired.

It was interesting but I didn't enjoy watching it a whole lot with today's eyes, I must say.

Anyway, with all that in mind, the joke here is that the video is only the start and end cards, as Steamboat Willie would be quite short without animal abuse. In reality, some might be preserved, but this is a humorous point that there is a lot of it.

yeah I'm not feeling that

One can live comfortably elsewhere without accepting constant compromises at a personal and professional level. I would bet also that, as in Japan, one is always foreign, gaijin, alien, at the end of thr day, and this fact will present as a hard cap on potential.

Maybe it's covered elsewhere in another article, but this is a lot to endure.

That sounds just terrible.

Or maybe it's people who don't really believe in society and government at large, or people who believe in vigilante justice over rule of law. Perhaps people with fixations on self-armament but who never actually use it to fight tyranny when it comes calling. Or people who fixate on wedge issues like restricting access to lifesaving natal operations, or whether the federal or state governments should interfere in who can play in what sports league instead of deferring to the people in charge of the league.

Or maybe not those people. Maybe other people. Who knows! Not I.

The key point was that areas that test poorly for education correlate with low trust of authority.

Also, imo, ear-plugs should be offered at the door at live shows for free. Any stigma against self protection in social circumstances should be removed.

"The sample included n = 233, n = 66, and n = 44 participants at the three time points, respectively. Trait mindfulness, specifically description and non-judging of inner experience, was increased, and neuroticism was decreased after 4 weeks of microdosing compared to baseline."

nobody forced him to take direct control of it and proceed to run it into the ground

nobody forced him to do a costly rebrand that added no value and made it look like a porn site

nobody forced him to besmirch his reputation by conducting a scorched earth cull of twitter staff, having numerous public brawls and spats, making him look like a bad leader

nobody forced him to pick a fight with city councils and the owners of buildings he was renting over nonsense, cementing his reputation as erratic, untrustworthy and belligerent

nobody forced him to be repeatedly, vociferously transphobic, to complain bitterly about leftism, or to talk about how pizzagate was real and scare away all the wealthy twitter sponsors

nobody forced him to promote conspiracy theories

nobody forced him to openly court the alt-right

nobody forced him to do anything. He has been messing around and finding out for a while now, and now that he bought his own kool-aid and the stakes are so high that even a skilled team of people managing his numerous, constant screw-ups are not able to help save his image. This man went from seemingly a beloved Tony Stark like figure to a ranting lunatic all of his own accord.
