Maybe if Conan hangs out more with his slightly more mature friend Stephen Colbert (who doesn't, I think, spy on people when he feels neglected) it would make a difference?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Stephen Colbert doesn't do that.
However, I'm sure he's made plenty of excuses for other people's antics, though.
I don't think the fortunate ones in Patriarchal Society would like it if poor farmworkers acted like that with "one of their women folk." Such as their daughters, for example.
It's a very systemically biased and classist and racist and sexist type of comedy, and not really all that funny actually, when you see it from a certain angle.
But while my sensibilities and my body can't just go along with their immature coping mechanisms, and while I still feel that this guy should get more emotionally mature, he and many other people clearly feel differently.
And maybe that's why he's better at partying with Netanyahu than with little Palestinian children in Refugee camps.
Grow up.
Don't be two steps away from being an uncaring tiktok Soldier.
Grow up.
I think some of these Entertainment guys are still being too much like frat boys who get the sorority girls to make excuses for them in exchange for materialistic benefits.
Does Conan want to be like the vigilant older sister who has to deal with panic attacks and watch over the little ones and stuff like that in his next life?
Maybe some of his old friends who passed away and are in different lives are already doing that, now?

An obituary with a somewhat unique ending?
"Henry Cervantes, farmworker turned WWII pilot"
"Cervantes is survived by his sister, Jennie Gonzalez, several nieces and nephews, and his longtime partner and friend of more than 60 years, Nancy Kahn. The couple first dated in 1964 when they met in the Air Force, staying together for 10 years before they broke up. Cervantes remained single his whole life.
'He used to say he was married to the military,' Kahn said. When the two reconnected after the death of Kahn’s husband in 2014, she was 75 and he was 90.
'We did everything together,' said Kahn of the last decade of their rekindled friendship. They took care of each other and enjoyed the mundane things after a long and exciting life. Hank, as Kahn calls him, was spry and agile even in his last decade.
But his health started to decline after he developed vascular dementia from a stroke five years ago. He was hospitalized after a second stroke in early March of this year and sent home on hospice care after he lost the ability to swallow.
Kahn said Cervantes died on the same date, April 7, as he’d escaped death 79 years previously when German pilots tried to ram his B-17 bomber out of the sky."

Over the past five weeks, more than 230 people have been killed in airstrikes in Rafah, with three-quarters of the victims women and children, according to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights.
The U.N. children's fund, UNICEF, says more than 13,000 children have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, with thousands more orphaned and wounded. U.N. Women says, on average, two mothers have been killed per hour in Gaza since the start of the war."

Eddy, 24, spent eight days on hunger strike as students at Yale appealed for the university to divest from military manufacturers. They suffered dizziness, mood swings and lost 16lb: 'But still none of this compares to the half-million people who are experiencing starvation in Gaza. I had a roof over my head, I had access to clean water, and I didn’t have to fear about being bombed, or shot, or forcibly removed from my home.'
At least 47 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested on Yale’s campus, in Connecticut, on Monday, with the university claiming that hundreds of people had violated 'policies and instructions regarding occupying outdoor spaces.'"

Regarding the Palestinian people, he stated: 'That they won't be able to face [anymore] the war with us, which will include withholding food from Arab cities, preventing education, terminating electrical power and more. They won't be able to exist, and they will run away from here. But it all depends on the war, and whether we will win the battles with them.'[446]"

They might be more fortunate.
Throughout history, some people who were raised by unwell, sociopathic, uncaring people actually found other kinds of much healthier people to hang out with, in spite of all the unwell behaviors that were performed for them & possibly even normalized by the sociopathically uncaring people.
Next time...
The very stubborn and unwell people with lots of money who are still giving the other stubborn unwell people lots of money in spite of all the senseless violence will be on the other side of the fence, because to be so stubborn is to be sucked into repeating unlearned lessons.

Honestly, if we get a horrible sexist misogynistic uncaring man as the next president, a lot of people in Certain Patriarchal Industries can say, ah! So familiar! Like one of our own!
What if it's genetic?
I feel that acting like a rich, sociopathic person who lives to please some very inconsiderate, cruel people who act like they absolutely do not care about anyone else just so long as their own egos get an immediate (albeit temporary) gratification boost is literally not even good for my body!
I still feel like some people were acting differently (better) when they were younger than they're acting now (ugh).
I wonder if certain people in the entertainment industry have a tendency to develop more sociopathic traits than the average person, partially as a way to survive their industry.

"Fifteen-year-old Sam was almost illiterate when he arrived at Bunce Court. He was also broken in spirit, witness to repeated acts of such horror that all his faith in human behaviour had gone.
While his entire family had been rounded up to be executed or transported six years previously, Polish Sam managed to escape the ghetto and go on the run.
Alone and terrified, he lost all bearings of what it meant to be human.
After liberation, unable to find any family alive, he made it to a displaced persons camp. He described himself as 'savage.'
But he took up the offer of going to school in England. 'It took a great deal of love and determination to help us,' he said of the child survivors at Bunce.
He could remember his mum’s love. As Sam got to know Tante Anna, he felt it again.
He went on to be a professor at Humboldt State University in California, where he founded the Altruistic Behaviour Institute."

You might have noticed how much some people can have in common with even more extreme personalities, such as Phyllis Schlafly or Trump or Netanyahu.
But maybe it's good to notice these things.
Is being "nice" always the best for one's health?
Sometimes when people want you to be nicer, they're also trying to shut you down and control the narrative.
Sometimes those people have more privileges when they go along with the oppressive systems, and they just don't want to see what it's like for others.
By seeing their addictions to pretending their way is the best way, you know that what's best for them is actually pretty much the opposite of what's best for a whole lot of other people.

Anne Frank was persecuted as a Jew, whereas Barbro was born into a Christian family showing that religion can change from lifetime to lifetime. If the Nazis knew one could be born Jewish in one lifetime and Christian in another, the Holocaust could not have happended.

Plus, sometimes it takes a while to get the kind of help that you need.
Sometimes it seems as though there's some brothers who maybe "get it" a little more quickly than others. They can be helpful by role modeling "getting it" for their other brothers, who don't seem to want to listen to certain kinds of *women,* (and maybe that's why they don't "get it" quite as quickly?)
Because everyone's had different kinds of childhoods, and different types of emotional wounds from those childhoods, and different ways of dealing with their traumatic experiences, and those are things which probably should have been addressed sooner rather than later.
But many were suppressed by the patriarchal society, which has led some people to feel like they need to channel their angry or sad feelings in destructive ways rather seek other, healthier options such as therapy, (which also is not a "quick fix" by the way, is it?)

About how people get convinced to go along with some very unhealthy patterns.
Is it due to the arrangement of certain circumstances within this lifetime?
Or possibly, other lifetimes?
Which makes it harder to just look away?
I spent a tiny amount of time in Dearborn, Michigan. Sure.
And it is continuously being shown to me that many of us are much more fortunate at this time than starving or orphaned people, or people who have had to endure horrendous medical treatment, because somebody decided American tax dollars should fund genocide, and I still wonder, how has this has happened?
Wow, everything.
"Rep. Joaquin Castro: 'All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza. We have seen how Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government has used American weapons to kill indiscriminately, to force famine, over 25,000 women and children dead, tens of thousands of missiles and bombs levied on innocent civilians. We cannot escape what we see before us every day. … Are we going to participate in that carnage or not? I choose not to.'”

Apparently, both prejudices and pesticides can be very bad for human beings
“'There's something deeply unjust and sick about our society,' says 47-year-old Sabat el-Sa, a mother of twins born through the IVF procedure after 30 years of marriage. 'When the couples can't have children, it is always the woman to be blamed. Usually, men don't even do medical checks, while the whole family supports them and even insists they would get a second or third wife. In my case, my husband remarried to then find out that it was him, who couldn't have kids!'
In contrast to female infertility, male infertility is a taboo, especially in patriarchal societies like Gaza.
While it's true that the birth rate is still high, in the Strip there's been a significant increase in the number of infertility cases amongst men.
'In 90 percent of cases men suffer from either few or slow spermatozoa,' states Doctor Tharwat al Helou, for who a famous Gaza City clinic was named. 'Moreover, today most of the patients live in border areas, which are exposed to the military attacks, thus I believe there is a link between infertility and the advent of the three wars. Surely, to the traumas caused by the bombings, we must add the exposition to chemical agents, pesticides, and white phosphorus...'”

"Les Roberts is an Epidemiologist and Professor Emeritus at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. He has taken part in the field measurement of mortality in crises including: Rwanda 1994, more than 30 health Zones in the Democratic Repoublic of Congo 1999-2002, Iraq 2004, Zimbabwe 2007, the Central African Repbulic 2009, 2018, and 2022, and Sierra Leone 2000 and 2014."
Life is hard for the well-off, too.
Well-off people's incessant need to display how much they have in common with the "Ack! How can they possibly go along with that when he is so awful and they have daughters?" Trump voters.
Think about it.
God might actually be much less biased towards or against certain kinds of people than some of your parents are.
War, what is it good for in the 2020$.
Showing off how, in the 2020$, narcissistic, needy people of all backgrounds did not have to be from any one culture or race to still be pushing that Old Patriarchal White Supremacy Violent Colonizer Agenda? Someone's money has had to pay for all that destruction.
Lately I have had my doubts that more money always makes people more healthy.

The Patriarchal Patterns Are So Disturbing.
Although certain very rich people still love to perform their strange entitlement rituals of showing how much they want to cater to certain unwell rich man babies more than any other kind of person on the planet, you don't have to go along with their bigotry.
Just because they're completely addicted to uncaring, narcissistic, sociopathic, selfishness, which is so unwell that it can actually become genocidal, does going along with that stuff seem healthy to you?
Yikes. No.
Will the baby grow up? Interesting way to show how much society loves babies. What if the baby lived here (America) in a previous life?

"The need was urgent, Gupta recalled. She particularly remembered one patient who had driven hours by herself from Arizona for an abortion. After the procedure, 'she literally jumped off the table, started to get dressed and asked: ‘Can I go home now?’ Because she had arranged childcare for a certain amount of time.' Gupta and her colleagues begged her to stay just 10 minutes so they could observe her before she drove the four hours home.
'That is the level of motivation that we are seeing,' she said."

Seems unwise & unhealthy to do that, too.
Why should you discriminate against your own descendants, who will be different from you, even if you are their biological parents or grandparents?
Ever weirdly get a song in your head?
Some people seem to have been taught "I can't smile without discriminating against you," instead.
"Barry Manilow – 'Can't Smile Without You' Lyrics"
https://genius.com/Barry-manilow-cant-smile-without-you-lyrics
You keep on keeping on doing it. Why do you feel comfortable doing that??
So the patriarchy wants you discriminate against cancer survivors and me, too.
Even though I am not lucky enough to be "as genetically privileged as some," at this moment in my life, I do seem to be fortunate enough to not be suffering from cancer.
Do cancer survivors deserve to be discriminated against? Why should you discriminate against them?
Why should you discriminate against anybody?
Why does the prayer key want you to discriminate so much against so many different kinds of people?
Oops, not prayer key. I mean, the patriarchy.
Which apparently has gotten embedded into some people's prayer activities as well.
Controlling the narrative according to what suits your ego and your situation can be a fleeting experience.
"The stories women shared were 'devastating,' Schlanger said, ranging from people with multiple miscarriages, cancer survivors and some who had sold all their belongings to afford the medical procedure."
~ Jess Ruderman
"How Fenton and Resolve controlled the narrative..."
Who honestly needs to be rewarded for being "genetically privileged" the most?
The "genetically privileged" people (according to stringent Patriarchal Norms) who choose to be shallow and discriminatory towards others as a coping mechanism, just to gain some social acceptance or financial stability, really and truly are like a bottomless pit of emotional needs which never can satisfied.
There's also a great hollow fakeness about them when they act like they are satisfied with being that way.
I don't trust them.
Parents who really aren't so into human rights
and still aren't so nice to many kinds of women may feel the need to highlight the people who have let them feel like they will get more support and rewards from Patriarchal Society for being not so into human rights for a variety of people.
Otherwise, why would they still want to go through life being one of those who normalizes being derogatory to women?
There's got to be all kinds economic payoffs and societal acceptance in it for them, to make them choose to behave that way.
Of course, more than just one person has been taught to enforce the patriarchal pro-natalism.

'These are people doing the work that nobody else wants to do. And they live in trailers that are falling apart. Up to 20 people live in one trailer, and they rent them out at ridiculous prices. It was crazy to see we still have things like that going on in this country.
'I have food to eat and clean water and clothes I can afford. It was a good experience for me and an opportunity to see that everything isn’t available to everyone.'

You may not know why people leave when they do.
Last night & today I got reminded that people can be transformed by grief and how it can be a healing gift for our collective humanity in facing up to and healing our own pain. Others are being more affected by the loss of a person I only met a few times, but I am pretty sure there's a little bit of empathetic stuff happening. You may not know who will leave early and how it will affect you. When I was unexpectedly grieving a person leaving this planet early, along with some other things, it made me ignore that I was sitting next to Elon Musk on two different planes and not care too much that he wanted to talk to me or give me his card. Why wouldn't it?

One minute they're complaining about how girls are worse to take care of than boys at a baby shower.

Thank the system; it's very problematic.
Apparently human beings who are more likely to pick your food and less likely to be able to afford housing and medical care are still human beings who seem equal in the eyes of a Higher Power although not in the eyes of Your Culture. Apparently.
Healthier culture needs to be supportive of a much wider variety of human beings
As the older daughter who assisted the single mom and then experienced many, many enlightening and often isolating female health-related learning experiences in adulthood, I can see that I am not the one you want when it comes to catering to your selfish pro-natalism which seems to mainly exist for the purpose of bolstering your own ego at the expense of others. It has been sad to realize this at times.

People can be almost too good at getting distracted and scared when it seems like they're being asked to do something that's new or different to them, or because they want to have a new ways of doing things or seeing things (but from the universe's perspective, what if maybe it's not even all that new?) and in this life there were times when I did suffer a lot from lack of confidence, and it was easy to keep getting scared or distracted, and I ran away from some trauma lessons because I didn't seem to know a lot about the best way to handle things. I think there's some complex stuff I have needed to sort through and it makes it so that I have felt too "misunderstood" by others who seemed to have simpler circumstances to navigate. Lack of trust in the process was a weakness that I felt, and sometimes it seemed like I just had to run away just to figure out what I needed to do. That can happen when we're distracted or scared.

"Netanyahu's father, Benzion, was a professor of Jewish history at Cornell University,[445] editor of the Encyclopaedia Hebraica, and a senior aide to Ze'ev Jabotinsky, who remained active in research and writing into his nineties. Regarding the Palestinian people, he stated: 'That they won't be able to face [anymore] the war with us, which will include withholding food from Arab cities, preventing education, terminating electrical power and more. They won't be able to exist, and they will run away from here. But it all depends on the war, and whether we will win the battles with them.'[446]"

"As the child of farmworkers himself, Jiménez knows what it’s like when low-wage workers have to crowd into housing. During his teenage years, he says, his family shared a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house with 21 people.
‘The fact is, we need help from the county. Because here in Half Moon Bay, the rent is really high, and we don’t earn much.’
- Vicente, farmworker
After running a local farmworker outreach program for years, Jiménez is now spearheading a project to build a farmworker co-op in Half Moon Bay where farmworkers can profit from the produce they grow.
'The idea is to help them build wealth for their family,' he says. 'We’re looking for opportunities to better the lives of our essential workers.'
On a recent visit to the future site of Stone Pine Cove, Jiménez extolled the fact that 28 of the homes will be available for purchase, using a state program of forgivable 20-year home loans geared toward agricultural workers with very low incomes.
'The farmworkers are going to get to own their modular home,' says Jiménez, who says home ownership is one more step toward stability.
The parcel sits just across a small creek from the California Terra Garden mushroom farm. When it’s developed, it will have a wildlife buffer along the creek, a walking trail and a playground for children.
Sitting on the porch of the guesthouse, Vicente says he can picture his son playing in a little park like that.
'We don’t need a fancy house,' he says. 'Just a simple house with the basics, where we can be together as a family.'"
