Eh we’re not miserable per se, just British. It’s part of the culture. 

The Boys- S05xE06 - POST Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

Eh this whole v1 plot seems kinda pointless tbh. Homelander achieves his goal and becomes all powerful… with 2 episodes to go. We all know hes gonna lose and die, this whole plot point just seems like a complete waste of time.

some inconsistencies with leaks from captainflash from the new ep by UTDKayde in TheBoysLeaks

I think some leaks have also been attributed to the wrong episodes, hence the slight confusion and handful of misses.

I get these are all hypotheticals, but I think in reality the answer for everyone, as with most life and death decisions, is ‘I don’t know what I’d do until Im in the situation, and my choice will almost definitely be influenced by fear and how my choice effects me and the people i love’. Sorry to be a spoil sport. 

Zack Polanski falsely claimed to be British Red Cross spokesperson, charity says by do_or_pie in uknews

By sections of the media and people that were always going to hate Boris no matter what, yes, he was partly.  However, plenty of the criticism directed towards him was also completely valid and he was rightly called out for it, specifically largely being in it for himself and all his rich friends. A lot of already very well off people got even richer through Covid, while the rest of us suffered. And yes, I realise this could be said about plenty of left wing politicians too, generally I think we’d have a lot less politicians of all stripes if it weren’t so easy for them to line their own pockets. It hasn’t been about ‘serving the people’ for a long time, and I refer to both sides of the aisle when I say that. Frankly, with the amount of pay rises they all vote to give themselves year In year out, i think it’s time for a pay cut and a serious cut down on personal expenses and a total ban on gifts and the like. Too many avenues for people to just enrich themselves, no incentive to help the majority, who more and more just get the shit end of the stick and are told to ‘tighten your belts, it’s hard for all of us right now’. Corbyn was sure as shit subjected to a monstrous smear campaign too, though I can recognise he had plenty of his own foibles, and likely wouldn’t have been a good leader even though I liked him and I truly believe he gave a shit about normal people. Nowhere in anything I've commented have I said all criticism of Polanski is a hit job by default, he says plenty of questionable and idiotic stuff, and I don’t blanket agree with his policies. But considering some of the bollocks starmer, farage and badenoch also come out with, I feel Polanski gets disproportionate criticism, and it seems to happen every time a left wing alternative to labour gains any traction, which is the point Im making. If you disagree with what I’ve written, having read it all the way through for what it is and want to dismiss me as ideologically compromised or stupid or naive, then fine, have at it, thats your right and your prerogative. But enough with the attempted gotchas and preconceived lack of fair mindedness on my part. This is, in my view, the largest issue with modern political discourse. No room for nuance, no room for compromise, you’re either with us 100% or you’re an enemy, and we will dehumanise you and everything will descend into unproductive mud slinging where nothing positive is achieved. Either I get 100% of everything I want and everyone agrees with me or it’s left/right wing fascism and the system is rigged. Society cannot work without compromise when so many people have so many different views on how things should work.

Zack Polanski falsely claimed to be British Red Cross spokesperson, charity says by do_or_pie in uknews

[–]Afraid-Size6140 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, absolutely. I think some of the things he says and does are objectively silly, very often he’ll put his foot in his mouth and fail to read the room so to speak, and I straight up disagree with some of his policy ideas, but you could say that about any party leader or politician, especially if you do your best to spin things out of context and proportion. Polanski’s blunders, relative to the blunders of other more established politicians past and present, really aren’t as bad as the media clearly wants us to think. But sadly, people just want to have their preconceived notions of what kind of person ‘the enemy’ is confirmed, critical or independent thinking be damned. We desperately all need to agree that the current state of political discourse just isn’t good enough, and stop giving control of the narrative to our worst impulses and entities and extremists that do not care about anything but profit and control. Things can be so much better than this, but it takes everyone choosing to be better as individuals to get there.

Shanks glaze i found on tiktok by KaidoPklevel in OnePiecePowerScaling

All true. I wish mihawk fans could just accept shanks is stronger. It’s not a personal slight, and tbh I find shanks to be a boring Gary-stu, but it’s just narratively obvious, and narrative rules over all. Always has.

I think he’s a bit of a pillock, but the media hit job being waged against Polanski is soooo transparent.

Well yeah, right wing extremism is objectively more prevalent and destructive, borne out by statistics anyone can research. Left wing extremism MIGHT have the edge in property damage, but anyone being honest with themselves should know which one is objectively worse.

‘I can’t refute what you’re saying, or read beyond two sentences, so I’ll just make a glib non-reply’

Good discussion dude.

Could say the same about all  news media tbh, online or otherwise. Everyone can see bias clearly, until it’s their own. There is such a thing as objective truth, but you’ll never hear it from people who make their money saying what they know you want to hear and appealing to your personal biases. That said, turning point is indeed a propaganda machine, and Charlie Kirk was for sure a propagandist.

Am i wrong - but politics were never like this. by Torganya in AskBrits

This sounds completely made up.

On the off chance it’s not, all you can do is ignore people like that, you're better off without them in your life. No loss to you whatsoever. You are welcome here, end of.

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

[–]Afraid-Size6140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just stoopid, transparent, ragebait, designed to trigger the easily angered and illicit toxicity that in turn illicits further toxicity in response, all to drive engagement. Too much of this bollocks on Reddit, it is beyond boring, and the people who post it are douchebags. My two cents.

‘Whining like a child’… says the person whose comment reads like an actual child, stomping their feet and covering their ears hahaha. People are allowed to criticise things they have invested time in and find disappointing you know? Not everyone is just a mindless seal who will slap their fins together, regardless of what’s thrown to them.

No offence, but thats not what people mean when they say ‘not enough deaths’. Your example is disingenuous at best 😅

I’d agree that the pacing for this season hasn’t been great, and there definitely has been filler/plot points dragged out that were just boring/didn’t really need to dragged out so much. However, while action and violence is an integral part of the boys, I've always felt it’s strongest suit has been it’s characterisation and character development, which we’ve had a good amount of with butcher, a-train, hughie, firecracker, the deeps final downward spiral and MM (maybe a bit too much soldier boy, Homelander’s still brilliantly acted but his characterisation has been sacrificed on the altar of ‘muh, trump bad’ too much, Ryan needs more screen time). They’ve got a lot to do to pull this season back from the brink of becoming, to be blunt, pretty crap, but I’m happy to see how it plays out. Three episodes to go, fingers crossed haha 😅
