Thoughts: There’s a pretty decent chance that the overarching theme of Spider-Man: Far From Home is going to be Peter grieving for Tony and learning to let go.

BUT IT IS GRAY AND IT MAKES HIM LOOK OLD

She’s a racist adult woman who called the cops on an 8 year old little girl for selling water (much like selling lemonade) on a sweltering hot summers day.

Here’s another fun story: My boss decided to slap my work phone number on all the ads we post looking for newspaper carriers. So I receive a bunch of calls from people looking for jobs. Working only part time, I’m not usually there when they call, so they have to leave a message and I take their info to pass on to my boss. Sometimes it can be weeks before my boss calls any of these applicants back, if at all. How the callers respond to not getting a callback varies. Most don’t do anything, but some call again. If the person sounds young, they may leave another message clarifying their qualifications and reaffirming their interest. If the person is old, and I can always hear it in their voice, they respond by getting mad, threatening to cancel their newspaper subscription, and occasionally swearing. The older generation is used to getting a callback, and an immediate one, so they throw a tantrum when they don’t get what they want.
