If you find it difficult to believe that one can be the victim of a conspiracy between the city council of a small town, I implore you to follow @MorlockP's #BarnLaw hashtag.
Small town politics are all conspiracies between guys who have been friends or known of each other since they were kids and the continuation of high school rivalries that never went away.

We call those conspiracies "phone calls" or "having beers" or "helping a friend."
The council in Morlock's town violated several laws in order to "help out their buddy" because most people will not put in the legwork that he did in order to win.
The number of people who'd file several lawsuits, personally campaign to win a referendum, and then *run for state government* to beat the "small town conspiracy" is literally one. One guy.
You read things on here sometimes about how "have you ever tried to get a tax lot subdivided or permission to build something in a small town?"

Do you know what makes that exponentially easier? Having gone to the weddings of the town board members.

Trying to start a conversation is, in fact, asking.
[Scene: Starbucks. No open tables, woman sitting with an empty chair, working on her laptop.]

M: Hey can I sit here?
W: [Looks up. Nods.]
M: Nice MacBook, which version is it?
W: Oh, I forgot. [Puts headphones in. Goes back to working]

She has been asked out. She has said no.
"Oh he just cared about what MacBook version I had."

My sister in Christ no he did not.

This is the main point though she misses it. It isn't "can't a guy just have a movie night?" It's that the scenes very very rarely make sense in the context of the story being told. Image
This is not a lecture that would be given in a locker room. Ever. For any reason. The point is *it takes you out of the story* because it's hamfisted nonsense put in by non-binary weirdo writer who fancies herself the world's HR department.

If a woman is single and turning 30, she has rejected several hundred men who would have happily been her husband. That may be because she was in a LTR and the guy never followed through, but the point stands anyway.
If a man is single and is turning 30 it's possible that nobody outside his family has spoken to him since he graduated high school.
Like that's her prerogative, whatever, but let's not pretend women reach 30 having never been offered several options whether she was looking for them or not.

She said she hoped he cried because she knows he didn't.
The lyrics say she let him fuck around on her for years and then finally decided to leave and she admits she still dreams about him and the intro suggests she's leaving this on his voicemail. That's your choice for her anthem? Really?

Nobody reads lyrics.

The minute @paramore apologized for lyrics was the minute everything they ever say became worthless narrative service.
"I'm so sorry for calling someone a whore when I was a teenager."

Fuck you, Hayley.
The young woman whose audience is young women who loves abortion and we wonder why young women love abortion.

This is another example of a definitional conflict. To the right-wing, a white supremacist is the guy from American History X. To the left-wing, a white supremacist is "someone who has an expectation of safety on public transportation."
That's why what they say sound insane to normal people. Because normal people haven't always internalized the eight required layers of linguistic aerobics for it make sense.
What she really means is "Being Hispanic or being black does not make you immune from wanting the rule of law."
