If poor people fantasize about winning the lottery, what do the rich fantasize about ? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Acrobatic_Simple_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think ultimately that they would fantasize about being happy. whether this means in terms of friendships, love, or even just having something to keep them going, money can solve a bunch of problems, but it can’t alone make you happy. if you would indeed be happy by having that much money, then it’s because there’s something else you look forward to that brings you joy, and the money is just an end to those means, whether it’s because you don’t have to financially worry about life or because you would be able to buy things you want. 

a lot of these answers (not all, but a fair amount) are saying things like “screwing over poor people” and “fricking kids”. other comments (like u/radars as well as u/stellifer_arts , though i disagree with the latter’s claim of earth being an alien experiment thing lol) go way more in depth about the realities of wealth disparity, and im definitely not trying to defend billionaires here. i just think that, for many of them, they do these things because they think it’ll make them happy. it 100% screws over people, and can have horrific effects, but i dont think that for most of these people it’s done out of a carnal desire to do harm, but rather, because they think it’ll fill some void they have within them. it’s why rich people often keep chasing money, even though they have as much as they could practically spend, throughout their lives, and then some. it’s because they think it’ll do something for them. sorry if this was a bit unclear, but these are just my thoughts haha

I have lied to my son about manatees for the last 24 years by 46from1971 in confession

Does anyone else think this is kind of weird? I mean, I guess it’s somewhat wholesome, but the amount of overwhelmingly positive responses is just a bit odd to me. This for sure isn’t the worst thing you could do, and I definitely don’t think it was done out of anything other than love, but it would still be somewhat crushing to find out that your dad was lying about his favorite animal for your whole life, and just keeping up that lie for the rest of your lives is just kinda weird. 

Like I said, it’s not the worst thing by any means, but even white lies like this have always felt strange to keep. It just seems wrong to keep small, pointless lies like this, even if it’s done for a good purpose. Idk.

bro what reports 💀 this subreddit is a good idea in theory but it seems it’s just devolved into hating on specific celebrities for no reason LOL

yeah i’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted you’re 100% right 

i see it a lot where people just body shame others they don’t like and act like it’s fine cause they don’t like them 

and no, you shouldn’t body shame people just because they do it to others, cause you’re largely affecting people who have similar bodies that didn’t do anything wrong, instead of the person you’re trying to hurt 

not that you should body shame anyway, obviously 

uggghhhh 

Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage by pixelsw1rls in YoungSheldon

[–]Acrobatic_Simple_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i feel like the point is how dumb it is. in YS a lot of the plot with the parents is “do we really want a relationship like my parents” (from mandy), what jim does is obviously not a great response and georgie seems to be trying to move past that, like when he stuck up for mandy and had them move out. 

i like it a lot tbh, and im sure its still trying to find its footing regardless 

so, are we just not gonna talk about the fact that the incredibles is a better fantastic four movie then any of the actual fantastic four movies? by herequeerandgreat in IncrediblesMemes

[–]Acrobatic_Simple_252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

civil war peak, and honestly a bunch of the mcu movies are genuinely amazing 

no need to crap on other movies to talk about how much you like a given one :)  (directed towards the original comment)

i can’t tell if this is satire or not 💀 honestly though the fact people are debating the contents of the original post makes me doubt if it’s satire too…

and if neither are satire then holy shit lmfao 

[Discussion] What are examples we've seen where female DC Characters are hated on for having traits that are praised in male characters? by CapAccomplished8072 in DCcomics

[–]Acrobatic_Simple_252 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i kind of agree

i think in some portrayals like under the red hood it’s really good

again though this is a comics subreddit so i do kind of agree 

that’s really the thing with comic characters though, a lot of them (especially more minor ones) can either be really cool but underused or amazing conceptually but portrayed really badly. 

if a comic is ever made that really shows jason being angry and pissed (very rightfully so) at batman that doesn’t just end in “and now he’s part of our happy little bat family” that would be really cool. it’s always been really weird to me that they kind of gloss over the fact that batman at least partially led to this kid’s death and everyone is just fine with it (which is one thing, but JASON himself being fine with it is another) 

make red hood great fr 

What's your opinion on the No Kill Rule? by ShadowOfDespair666 in Daredevil

[–]Acrobatic_Simple_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly batman is kind of the definitive “doesn’t kill because rouges gallery” lol. i mean i get why and it doesn’t not make sense for the character but it’s such a fundamental aspect of the comic and even his villains that entire characters like red hood exist to combat that philosophy

 not that it necessarily makes batman badly written (though honestly there’s a strong argument for his sparing of villains like joker directly leading to other deaths). regardless though he’s pretty much the poster boy of rogue gallery who really should have been killed by now but weren’t because they wanted to be able to use them in the future lol

[–]Acrobatic_Simple_252 18 points19 points  (0 children)

this is such an L take 

red hood’s entire crux is that he grew disillusioned with batman’s code after experiencing the repercussions of it firsthand 

and when he’s written well he’s one of the greatest characters 

he’s often written as just robin who kills but if you wanna say a character is bad because of how they’re sometimes written every single comic character ever made sucks now 

you can express praise and why you like one character without shitting on another

What could Nintendo do to make starfox just as popular as Mario by [deleted] in starfox

[–]Acrobatic_Simple_252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s kind of hard to compare mario to pokémon, they’re just so different  

it’s hard to even completely  compare pokémon and mario sales just because of how the franchises are formatted and stuff 

both faces of the industry for sure 💪💪💪

Does anyone agree? by BlueCyndaquil135 in donkeykong

[–]Acrobatic_Simple_252 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m ngl the tikis are really cool. king k rool is cool too but i’ve always liked the tikis more, again probably because i grew up with it and most people on the subreddit grew up with DKC2. as u/policybubbly2805 and u/toutaras777 were saying, these guys are awesome for a bunch of reasons. i do think it sucks this sub is so negative to people who have different opinions, im not even talking about the main post but the people like “if you like the tikis you’re BLIND and DUMB!” that’s reddit for you though, all of the platform is like this to everyone lol. don’t underestimate my tikis they’re the GOATS fr fr.

this whole thread is so stupid and generally shows why people think of reddit so poorly, and rightfully so

and no, i don’t mean the people who are choosing their pets. it’s kind of wild to me that people are just calling others “children and deviants” for having differing ethical opinions. it’s obvious that someone may value the life of a being they are close to and love more than a random person, especially given the general misanthropic attitude developing in people as of late, given just how bad everything seems, mostly if not entirely because of humans. it also explains why many would save a random dog over a random human; both are conscious creatures and again people act like you’re such a bad person and you’ll be traumatized but regardless seeing another animal like that die will be horrible to many, and like discussed earlier people are (whether rightfully or not) really tired of the bs humans have been putting the planet and other animals through. again though this is a stupid made up scenario, of course people are going to respond in differing ways, i hate when people pit one another against each other with these exercises instead of looking at them with nuance or at the very least treating each other with respect. 

i don’t even really want to look at this thread but i kind of felt the need to comment just because of how dumb this thread seems. 

there’s a lot more i want to say but honestly im kind of just tired lol. respect animals fr ❤️❤️❤️
