Him and his father both have some odd idea that they have such good genes they need to spread em around to pass down their superior semen. It isn't exclusive to them (see Nick Cannon and others) but it's also a common white supremacists or evangelical belief (see Great Replacement Theory and the Quiverful movement).

Star Trek has always been political though?

Iirc it's based on a real experience, so that's probably true. I haven't seen it in forever, nor do I intend to, so I say probably because I don't recall all the nuance.

I don't remember fully about that airport(after all, it is a full 20 mins from my house) but as i recall this is a major Delta hub, and because of that the entire section where they board and then move to taxi is all Delta only.

There's also the possibility that the definition of stress differs. I'm in an IT position where I control most of my schedule and pace of work, I work at home without much supervision, and I'm very much a trusted employee. That means I have less body stress and other stresses than a large amount of people, but at the end of the day my mental stress can still give me headaches and wear me out (and of course real life stresses. I'm paid pretty well for the company I work at, but it's still kinda low to be supporting myself and a family member still trying to find employment).

Just the casualty rate of the perpetrator, not the victims.

It's not disingenuous because it's answering what lots of right wing people say about mass shootings instead of gun control. "Why don't we arm the teachers, why is it a gun free zone " etc. This is the answer to that question, not your statement.

I've spoken with plenty of feminists, vegans, some trans people, and several right wing constitutionalists or other right wing identity. Almost every vegan I've talked to in RL was very pleasant and I had to know them a while or go to lunch with them to even find out they're vegan. Trans I've never had a problem with, and occasionally reminded me their preferred pronouns in a very polite way (actually our mutual friends usually did instead). Feminists I've only found TERFs annoying.

However the constitutionalist? I got in arguments with him about stuff like whether people should be liable for animal abuse (he claimed animals don't have a soul so no punishment should come from harming them). He also acted like women were too emotional, but every time we got into a discussion with something he didn't like he would be nearly yelling. If asked to be calm he'd angry claim not to be logical, not angry/emotional. He was the one we had to walk on eggshells around, while also being the main person doing "wife bad" or other misogynistic jokes.

While that's one example, I've met many others who like to be mean then retreat to "just joking" or "That's how I grew up", while the people you claim are more annoying are more likely to adjust to the feelings or likes or dislikes of the person they're talking with.
