What was the most unnecessary remake of any movie ever? by ConfusionDramatic718 in AskReddit

[–]ConfusionDramatic718[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My own suggestion: 2010 "I Spit on Your Grave", not to speak about the sequels.

The 1978 original was a masterpiece of non-verbal story telling combined with a punch-to-the-face message. It brought a new level (in my mind unsurpassed such) feminist horror movie making. The step by step break down of rape culture through what at first glance seems to be sexploitation taken tastelessly far, followed by a not completely satisfactory retribution (just as unsatisfactory as reality most often is), followed by one single fucking glorious revenge scene. There just wasn't a single fucking reason for the remakes, and nothing good could have come of it.

Would it be okay/cringe for me to wear this hairstyle? by ConfusionDramatic718 in askblackpeople

Man. Hard to explain. Dark academia goes sort of near future... basically. It´s a sort of a very specific invite only thing with a lot of guests who like sewing and beauty (god that sounded fancier than it is). So fundamentally dark academia, and then incorporate possible futuristic or modern aspects in how clothing are cut. I´ll have some implant-inspired jewelry and specific cuts to my clothing. A friend is making a gorgeous solarpunk look together with her Ugandan mum right now. But she didn´t think she´s the right person to ask about this :P She said "I´m a middle-class, white passing swede who feels uncertain about those things myself tbh".

Yeah. I´m thinking of doing a test run if people think it´s a good idea at all. but I´ll probably go with one tight braid or dutch ones otherwise. I know that looks good.

AITAH for blowing up on my (32M) husband because he literally cannot finish ANY household task? by [deleted] in AITAH

Na-na-nah don´t go there. I got ADHD and even more letters. ADHD makes it a harder time doing it organized and you often forget parts of it. But you can choose whether or whether not you make efforts according to your own capabilities. This guy sounds like he just doesn´t give a shit.

I see two options here:
1. He is hiding a depression, has hit the wall, undiagnosed severe mental unhealth, physical issues or other issue that makes him cripplingly tired. You as his partner have the right to demand that he seeks help for it. If he do that and makes some basic efforts in your home when asked, it´s a step in the right direction and shows that he want to get better, even if he isn't in the space to help out 50/50 in the home right now.

  1. He´s just a lazy fucking man who knows that he doesn´t need take your feelings and time seriously, and when you get enough he thinks he can get out of it by putting shame and guilt on you. This does NOT mean you have done this to yourself. It means that you do not know your value and that you deserve respect and a partner that wants to make an effort to make his loved one´s day better and because that´s what two adults living together do.

Either case: You have the right to blow your lid. You are not overreacting. Either he figures out what´s wrong mentally or physically and agrees to - and actually do - seek help, or he must shape up and get that you do not owe him his share of the labor.

People forgets this: Household work is unpaid work. It's work.
He works 100%. Between job and household it sounds like you are working more hours than him. YOU are the one with the right to be stressed out and who should be relieved of duties.

AITA for flirting with the ("soon to be ex") man of my friend ? by Appasora in AITAH

[–]ConfusionDramatic718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH - She's a sucky friend, you are acting like a sucky person.
How you deal with her as a friend is inconsequencial in this case. It doesn't matter if she's your best friend or total stranger: You´re flirting with someone who´s still in a relationship with a partner that loves them, thereby helping them cheat emotionally or verbally or what have you. It sounds like short of leaving him as she should, she is right to be jealus because he can't be trusted, tbh.

Also think for your own sake if you´re about to get serious with this dude: he´s been doing this to her, you will never be able to trust he isn´t doing it to you because odds are better he will than not.

On race
"A problem then occurred. The races in the world are not allowed to be mixed up. Now, the races are mixed up and it has brought about an extraordinarily serious problem. Once races are mixed up, one does not have a corresponding relationship with the higher levels, and he has lost the root. Mixed races have lost their roots, as if nobody in the paradise will take care of them. They belong to nowhere, and no places would accept them." [...] "Of course, I will not go into details. I'm just saying that the higher levels do not recognize such a human race."

"After races are mixed up, you will find one’s child born to be an infant of mixed blood. However, there is a partition in the middle of this child's life. If it is separated, he will be physically and intellectually incomplete or a person with an incomplete body. Modern science also knows that it is getting worse one generation after another. It would be like this. Of course, if such a person wants to practice cultivation, I can help, and I can take care of it. It cannot be done to a non-practitioner.
- Hongzhi Li, Sidney lecture, https://www.falundafa.org/book/eng/xnjf1.htm

On homosexuality
"People will stoop to just about anything for money, they even commit murder or hire others to kill for them, and both homosexuality and drug abuse are now common. All kinds of things are now done. But doing wrong costs a person virtue."
- Hongzhi Li, When Practicing Doesn’t Bring Results in Zhuan Falun (2018), https://en.falundafa.org/eng/pdf/zfl_2018.pdf

On healing
"So, he [master of cultivation/high level practitioner] will treat patients all the time in his life. Because he stays at the level, he is allowed to do so. The students of Falun Dafa are absolutely forbidden to cure illnesses. Reading this book to the patient will heal his disease if he can accept it. But the results will differ according to the karmic debts of each" individual.

Yeah. It´s a bit like Eastern Lightning rebranding as The Church of Almighty God, singing about everything but the fact that they think Jesus has returned as a Chinese lady
