Nah, continuing a task while trying to process something like this is something the vast majority of humans would do.
I remember a common repost on reddit. A female reporter in the 60s asked businessmen on the street about sexual harassment and if it was ok to touch their secretaries. The ones that would say it was ok shed start sexually harassing them and they had no fucking clue what to do.
They reacted the same way, trying to continue the interview but obviously uncomfortable (even tho they had just been flirting with the attractive reporter).
I’m a guy (a pretty big guy at that) and I’ve had women grope me out of nowhere during my bar days. It’s a mindfuck, and you just kind of go on autopilot while you try to rationalize what’s happening.
The woman’s reaction in this video is completely normal.
Republicans have spent a literal lifetime sabotaging the government at any opportunity so stuff can be privatized…
That’s already the alternative, we don’t need to find one. We just need to go back to taxing the wealthy, and using that money for public services.
Internet should be a public utility, and all the money we give to SpaceX should have went to NASA where the government would have gotten a return on investment from parents.
People laugh at how crazy the predictions of the future from 1960 was, but if we kept funding NASA we might all have hoverboards and flying cars by now. We got a lot of really cool shit from just a decade of NASA in their hey day.
