I still address anybody I meet as "Sir" or "Ma'am" (when in English. "Señor" y "Señora" in Spanish).
Just a side bar of how old I am.
I would say the custom went out of style around when some cartoons came in the air. One was about a family and the other was about two kids with lower-than-average intelligence (I can't remember their names) ;)
(I'll go yell at some clouds now)

Old habits die hard. The clouds are lovely today. :D

A dark money group connected to Elon Musk is targeting Arab Americans and Jewish voters through ads promoting contradictory messages about Kamala Harris’s stance on Middle East policies.

In Michigan, which has a significant Arab and Muslim population, the PAC runs digital ads portraying Harris as a steadfast supporter of Israel. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, Jewish voters are being targeted with ads claiming that Harris has been “pandering” to Palestinians.

Bret Baier's repeatedly extending his arm in a palm-toward-and-down dynamic is a nonverbal effort to tell VP Harris to 'shut-up', 'you've said enough about this topic', and 'I have the floor now'.

This particular moment was captured immediately after the Vice President corrected Baier with regard to Trump's true intent and his desire to punish who he perceives to be "the enemy within".

This body language display is commonly exhibited by misogynists and manipulative individuals who are not interested in dialog, discourse, or others' opinions. Their minds are closed. Many find this a triggering behavior to witness – even if it's displayed toward others.

Although not a required component of this emotional display cluster, Baier's close eyelids simultaneous with an elevated forehead amplify his underlying message.

And yet, there they are, listening to Trump, because 4 weeks before this election they are STILL undecided who to vote for, because they have not heard enough💩💩💩 from this a*****e in the last 10 years.
Yep, Latinas, just like Latinos, are still undecided about whether to vote or not for a man that despises them and is promising to deport all of them from the USA.
Yes, these are smart people indeed.

I love the need to sign up a petition for free speech... on an open platform in which anybody can, theoretically, post anything they want.
So much for not having freedom of speech.
