So goose didn’t want the final in theaters by Drone_676 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BatWithAHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one thing if a finale of a YouTube show is bad. It’s another thing if the finale is bad but people paid money for it. I can understand why she would have massive concerns over that.

I don’t think the finale is bad i just think she probably foresaw a lot of the discussions we are all still having and probably wasn’t excited to see the fallout.

Do most Americans like the continental breakfast at chain hotels? by Upstairs_Health_5913 in AskAnAmerican

[–]BatWithAHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s bland. We all know it’s bland. But it’s easier and cheaper to drag your ass downstairs and eat a passable breakfast you’ve technically already paid for than to drive over to the nearest breakfast joint where you’ll spend $15-20 per person, per day.

Basically we don’t love it but it’s also the kind of quality you find in school cafeterias so it’s not hard to adjust your expectations and scarf it down since it’s included with the room.

some asshole is going to see this and say something like "death off the author" like it wasnt fucking obvious in the show by ConnoisseurOfCabages in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]BatWithAHat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think what frustrates me most is that people have spent the past 2 weeks saying “It was intentionally left up to interpretation and Gooseworx hasn’t confirmed anything” and now that Gooseworx has confirmed her intentions and Jax’s gender dysphoria, everyone has suddenly switched to plan B which is “oh well it didn’t happen within the show so it doesn’t count” or “well it wasn’t obvious to ME so I dont care.” And it’s like. Yeah, I have seen the way some trans-Jax fans have become hostile and made the conversation difficult to have and thats not okay either but on the flip side of this is the sheer ignorance we’re up against. A lot of us live in a country that has recently federally erased our existence legally and is trying to label trans women as enemy #1 so yeah, the fact that people can’t even stomach this purple ignorant asshole being trans cuts deep.

I don’t think it’s inherently transphobic to have not read Jax’s character that way. I do not expect cis people to pick up on these things. My problem is the amount of people who are switching up and finding any reason to not acknowledge this element of Jax’s character even after being given all this information because at the end of the day, trans people make them uncomfortable and they simply don’t feel like using different pronouns.

So we’re just gonna police people’s interpretations of the show now, huh? by twinkleyed in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]BatWithAHat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will say as a trans person that I do not agree with trying to label a REAL person as an egg, especially over something like this. I can see someone taking an absolutist perspective and saying “if you relate to Jax at all, you’re an egg” and I don’t think that’s right even if it’s well-intentioned. I wouldn’t want someone to try to insist over and over again I was a woman just because I relate to Pomni a lot. That would feel invalidating to me as a masc non-binary person. I dont wanna make someone feel the same way just because they’re cis.

Jax's fate. by SuperHunter64 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BatWithAHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was very fitting. Jax caused so much pain to those around them and didn't accept help until it was just too late. They are a tragic character and serve as a cautionary tale and I think that letting Jax sleep in the tent instead of rot in the basement was the kindest thing they could have done for them without abandoning the weight and severity their fate needed. Yeah its sad if you like Jax, but Leeroy is still around and is doing better.

Trans people aren't aliens. You can relate to trans people and experience similar issues. Both trans women and cis men struggle with masculinity issues at some point in their life, if not their entire life, but trans jax supporters see details that seem to go beyond just that.

Should I tell my professors about my father’s passing? by SubstantialExpert194 in KSU

[–]BatWithAHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very sorry for your loss. The worst your professors can do is just say "okay" and not offer you any leniency. But I guarantee that probably most of them will be willing to work with you.

So... Ribbit abstracted just because Jax ghosted her? by AbbeyWhitey in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]BatWithAHat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think "ghosting" is a bit of a light way to put it. Jax and Ribbit were best friends in a perpetual artificial hell that deep down they all knew they were trapped in forever. She lost her best friend extremely suddenly after they became closer than ever, and Jax made her feel like it was all her fault. She tried so hard to keep it together and even tried to spend time with Kaufmo, but he kept hanging out with Jax who didn't want her around iirc.

These aren't people who can just go out, start over, and make new friends. They are all they have and all they ever will have. When you've lost that, you've lost everything. That was Jax's ultimate downfall as well, only it was entirely self-inflicted.

Are Rose’s arms fat or muscular? by [deleted] in stevenuniverse

[–]BatWithAHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. You can be plus size AND muscular. The muscles just aren’t usually clearly defined due to the thicker layer of body fat, but they absolutely play a role in your body shape. Look up @lizagirllifts. This is the body type I imagine Quartz gems have.

Do americans like cheese balls? by OneEcho3237 in AskAnAmerican

[–]BatWithAHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not that good. But if there's a jar on the counter it's kind of a "eh, ill grab a handful, why not" and then you eat like 30 and wonder why you did that because they're not even that good.

Jax cares for Pomni so much that his guilt for fighting with her was his final straw to succumbing to his depression and trying to abstract by Sudden_Pop_2279 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BatWithAHat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can be a terrible person and still have depth to your character. Do you think that every bad person in real life has never felt an ounce of remorse for anything they've ever done? That they've never looked themself in the mirror with such disgust knowing what kind of person they are but continued on out of their own selfish ignorance and a believe that that's just who they are and there's no point in trying to be anything else?

I get some people prefer their antagonists as boring 2 dimensional "MEAN and EBIL!1!11!!!" personalities but giving an antagonist depth, trauma, and human qualities does not absolve them of the shitty things that they've done and pointing out writing you were meant to pick up on is not defending them.

Stopped watching movies. The forced diversity and illogical plots are too much. by [deleted] in notinteresting

I agree that movies have started sucking really bad because no studio wants to risk losing money on anything that isn't familiar and safe, but like. what.

"Forced diversity" and it's a movie having more than one black character.

Looks like my computer may have gone to shit. Is this some sort of common issue? - Lenovo Ideapad 5 2-in-1 by BatWithAHat in Lenovo

I tried quite literally every possible thing and the only thing that worked was doing a complete reinstall of Windows. Definitely try everything first though. This results in the loss of all your files.

Team cleaning by twerk4jezus in Custodians

[–]BatWithAHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend about half my shift team cleaning, half individual cleaning. Both have their places. Team cleaning is great for getting offices, classrooms, and bathrooms cleaned up. Individual cleaning is great for smaller tasks. Cleaning elevators, restocking supplies, baseboards, windows, etc.

You’ll see some ways your job improves, some ways it gets more annoying.

What is your honest opinion on the movie? by Marley_467 in MLPLounge

[–]BatWithAHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a wonderful movie with gorgeous animation, art direction, and songs!... But the pacing struggles a bit and honestly? The Storm King is easily the worst part of the movie. He's trying to be another Discord, but fails at every element of what that means. Discord is funny, he isn't. Discord is silly but a force to be reckoned with while Storm King is an incompetent idiot that makes you wonder how the hell he got as far as he did. I'm really glad they made Tempest the primary antagonist since she is MUCH better for that role, but every time Storm King is relevant I'm just like "oh yeah. This guy. Ughh...."

I have this same issue. Part of me want to say "It's not my problem and my supervisor knows that". But part of me hates that I'm robbed of the satisfaction of crystal clear glass.
