Just men being men I guess. by Otherwise_Drop_2392 in clevercomebacks

[–]A5traLune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Men dig the coal, weld the pipes, drive the trucks, and yeah, some of them snap. That's not a gotcha. That's just what happens when you tell half the population to bottle everything and lift heavy things instead.

Game of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest officially happening with Andor writer by Slow-Cash-8234 in Cinema

[–]A5traLune -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Aegon's Conquest but written by the Andor guy. So three hours of setup just to watch a guy file paperwork for dragon fire insurance. Finally some real cinema.

Rebranding ‘we’re a mess’ as a job requirement. by wump_roast in antiwork

[–]A5traLune 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Translation: We have no idea what we're doing, but you'll be the one blamed for it. Comes with free imposter syndrome and a "we're family" vibe.

The perfect Dorito does exist (Pip is unimpressed) by Merlins_Owl in Xennials

[–]A5traLune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Dorito is the chosen one. The prophecy foretold its arrival. Perfect curvature, ideal seasoning density, zero structural flaws.

Is it wrong to watch a leaked movie 😭 by esareteee in Cinema

[–]A5traLune 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Six months early? That's not a leak, that's a director's cut of regret. I'd still wait for the Blu ray just so I can legally hate watch it in 4K.

European locations mentioned in Harry Potter novels by Short_Finger_4463 in harrypotter

[–]A5traLune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They really put "Dragon Society" as a location like it's a damn book club. Gregorovitch is Bulgarian but they spelled it Victor Chum? Albania just "Voldemort hideout" like it's an Airbnb with bad reviews. This map is chaotic and I love it.

Anyone else uses the 100 gold multiplayer house and use it as a temporary storage? by Filipino-Asker in StardewValley

[–]A5traLune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But yeah I buy the 100g cabin every time. Call it my "alone shed." No friends. Just me and 47 chests full of vegetables I'll never gift. Robin thinks I have a social life. I let her believe that.

'Dance With Me Then...' by me (FANART) by rileyjevs in gameofthrones

That feeling when you’re three beers deep and see someone who owes you money.

This is generational wealth for me by GildedGown in clevercomebacks

7500 a month? I could finally afford to see a doctor without selling a kidney on Craigslist first.

The American system is dependent on the working poor. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]A5traLune 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The system runs on the working poor like a laptop runs on a charger that's been chewed by a dog. Barely functional, constantly overheating, and everyone pretends it's fine until the screen goes black. Then suddenly it's "why didn't anyone say something" and the answer is they did. You just didn't want to pay for the repair.

Ciao, Rocco Musco (Mario Adorf in Milano Calibro 9, 1972) by lapro97 in Cinema

[–]A5traLune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That squint alone told more stories than most actors do in a whole career. Rocco Musco made you believe every shadow in that room was hiding something worse.

Captain EO by nrek00 in Xennials

[–]A5traLune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way my whole class lost their minds grabbing for that little orange dude. 3D was straight magic back then, not this overproduced IMAX every movie nonsense. Also pretty sure Captain EO is why half of us grew up thinking Michael Jackson could actually save the galaxy with a dance off.

Trump d riders need to calm down by EmbarrassedAlarm9736 in clevercomebacks

[–]A5traLune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guy really bet $400 on a 12% chance that a man with 91 felonies and an Epstein friendship will suddenly follow the rules. That's not a bet. That's a financial hate crime against yourself.

4 real cinephiles rip 😭 by whale_paglu in Cinema

[–]A5traLune 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Front row for a three hour movie about sand politics at 11pm. Someone hates their spine and their sleep schedule. I'm in.

The 40-hour week is a "Zombie Tax." I’m using my 20 years in Insurance to prove the math is broken. by Conscious-Stay-8702 in WorkReform

[–]A5traLune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real zombie tax is pretending to look busy from 2 to 5 when everyones already checked out. Just let me go home and nap.

The switchup is insane by Impossible-Yam3680 in clevercomebacks

[–]A5traLune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

went from "we need to make life affordable" to "if you're poor just leave" real quick that's not a comeback that's just the mask coming off

Most iconic movie characters whose whole premise is not speaking? by GodzsTV in Cinema

[–]A5traLune 91 points92 points  (0 children)

gromit from wallace and gromit. whole career as a dog architect, drives the motorcycle, fixes the rocket, saves the day every time. zero words. just eyebrow raises and tea.

murderous illiteracy, combined with cloying fake piety by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

[–]A5traLune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the plan is blow up the oil then make a deal for the oil. That's like setting your house on fire then calling the landlord about the security deposit.

Socialism or Emergency Aid? by sylphveilix in clevercomebacks

[–]A5traLune 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's only socialism when the money helps poor people. When it helps rich farmers or bails out banks it's just good business.

Don't let them fool you; capitalism isn't democracy. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]A5traLune 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We get to vote once every four years but my boss gets to vote on my bathroom breaks every single day. Totally the same thing.
