The same thing that happens to a lot of extremist groups, they refuse to adapt and align with others that aren’t the same as them, but share their viewpoint. The Panthers did not hold women in the same regard as men, and thus, their female membership was non-existent. Towards the end, there are stories of brutality against women, and during the late 70s and early 80s, women were attempting to gain more rights for themselves. Imagine being a member of the Panthers and having a wife that was a feminist. It doesn’t take violence to overthrow a movement, simply reducing their numbers at the street level can be enough to ground them. With fewer and fewer men joining or staying with the panthers, and the issues surrounding Huey P. Newton, the power of the party declined and eventually collapsed under itself with no one to support it.

This is a super simplified and very narrow argument for the downfall of the Panthers. I would suggest reading up more on it. There are plenty of books on the subject. Just remember that the more you read and study, the greater an informed position can be reached. Don’t rely on just one narrative or one viewpoint. Read, analyze, and discuss with others. Knowledge is gained slowly and deliberately and rarely completed.

Project Farm on YouTube has great tests and reviews of products like this. Fully recommend his channel if you are in the market to buy tools or tool adjacent products.

The -yx comes from the Greek word “onyx” which means claw or talon. So, anything ending in a -yx is designated that way to say that it has sharp cutty bits that will hurt you.

I’d be curious to see the data of married Hollywood celebrities and how long their relationships last vs how many intimate scenes they have on film are. Of course, the data would be nearly worthless because humans are complex and there are millions of valid reasons why a relationship would end, but I’d like to see the numbers, anyway.

I ran the text through Midjourney, because it sounded nice. Here is the result in a nice cinematic aspect ratio.

Chrono Trigger. I have a save that I just load up, do some things on, and then turn off when I’m done. I’ve beaten the game dozens of times, and I know every aspect in and out, so it’s like flipping on the TV and catching an episode of a sitcom, I just roll with it and mellow out.

Yeah, I get it. For me, it’s because it is such a long and enduring part of my life. I’ve been playing it for literal decades. When I load it up, I look where I’m at, and when I remember who the next boss is, I get a little excited. “Oh, yeah, I’m going to the Tyranno Lair,” or I’m at the end of time and I pop in to beat Spekkio’s geek ass again. It’s all rote memory, and it brings me back to summers at home with my parents at work, playing video games and eating Cheez-It’s.
