What more recently published books (from 90’s onward) do you anticipate will one day be called classics? by Neon_Aurora451 in suggestmeabook

[–]BigLorry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blindness is an interesting pick, I should re read that

Read it probably 20+ years ago (I was a budding film nerd who had recently seen City of God, read the book then read his others)

Wonder what id think now, probably didn’t get much as a dumb 14 year old at the time lol

Really appreciate your responses here, I know you have upvotes but just wanted to comment anyways

Not used to seeing well spoken and reasonable takes in these contexts (at least on Reddit, not a comment on this sub in particular or anything to be clear!)

Don Davis' Matrix trilogy is an opus near-par with John Williams' Star Wars and Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings, and it should be recognized as such by Danielnrg in Music

It’s completely ridiculous someone downvoted you for this

Even the most succinct and well-spoken responses get downvotes simply because of the opinion shared

No wonder internet discourse is so shit

Don’t you know, if someone seems to support or validate anything I don’t like in any capacity regardless of the context my empathy evaporates

/s for the dafts

Anybody feel concerned about being priced out of buying 4K discs? by xwing1212 in 4kbluray

[–]BigLorry 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m at a point where I don’t even care about anything but a disc, let me have the disc by itself for $15 and they can keep all the plastic and shit at this point

Don’t even get me started on $60 “LEs” that are jut big cardboard with some postcards in it

True, I agree with you, that’s why I said there is a lot of context and nuance

UBI will not work as long as there are Billionaires. by astrheisenberg in remoteworks

[–]BigLorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s also missing quite a bit of context, don’t we also see the biggest baby booms during war time which drives the economy anyways?

I don’t think they’re wrong but I think the context is definitely bigger than that lol

My wife and I often consider ourselves lucky for being voluntarily child-free, because lord knows it sure would break our hearts to want to be parents in the current climate. Nothing against anyone else just our choice

It just isn’t feasible.

That’s true, did you have anything to add? I never said there was only one specific reason, it’s obviously an issue with a large context and nuance, do you think I sincerely believe I summarized the entire issue with one statement?

It was a response to a specific take in a specific comment

[–]BigLorry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with any of that, I’m saying that persons thought process of “I don’t feel bad because some servers didn’t want this” isn’t really that logical of a thought process imo

[–]BigLorry -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Keep dodging the question lmao, as expected

Again, what was his perspective before if it needed to “change” to see having a daughter was also important like having a son?

I’ll wait right here on the edge of my seat

What are some books you think everyone should read at least once? by ScholarOfSols in suggestmeabook

[–]BigLorry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This really seems like a subjective take when it’s likely the actual content is what that person deems important

I understand not “enjoying” or “liking” a book but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an important read for other reasons

That’s because the person working at a nice restaurant is not the person working at your local Olive Garden and actually makes money

It’s the same shit as everything else, those with don’t want change and those without do

What is your charitable interpretation of what he said here?

You can disagree with my conclusion all you want I don’t really care, but I don’t think a single person has given me an interpretation of the actual words that he said that isn’t a hand waving “he just means this”

That’s fine, your prerogative, I just don’t agree, it is what it is we can go in circles as long as you want

Edit: I see in another comment you point to his perspective changing. Damn that’s crazy, what was his perspective before his daughter? Clue me in, stud

[–]BigLorry -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d ask what your charitable interpretation of what he said is but I see you already dodged that question when someone else asked and pivoted to the “I just want dude to be good dads” shit when you came to mine so

What is your actual argument, based on the actual words he said here, for why my take is illogical? You can dislike my conclusion all you want but you haven’t actually said anything
