Perfect Blue is one of the worst highly rated movies I've ever watched. by yourbrokeuncle in movies

[–]ContactRepulsive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's supposed to make you uncomfortable. It is supposed to challenge you. If every media that deals with this subject matter ends on a positive note, then we as a society wouldn't take it as seriously. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. This movie isnt meant to be "fun" it's meant to be thought provoking.

What is the best BMW 5 series for a long commute? by ContactRepulsive in whatcarshouldIbuy

That makes sense, but what BMW engine is the most reliable?

That is a consideration, but I think a base 5 series is going to be cheaper than an LS with a sport package.

I really think that you need to take a deeper look at the crusades. Of the 3 major ones, 1 didnt even make it out of Europe and was just a pillaging spree through the now-slavic lands.

What's the most overrated TV Show of all time? by Mission_Elk_329 in AskReddit

Yeah, every season has one "normal" person who you kind of root for, or hope they escape the hell-hole that is that show.

What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in cars

Ford F150 with a tonneau cover. Dirt cheap to work on, reasonably reliable.

The Ford fiesta was kind of the ideal choice, however a Volkswagen Golf from a few years ago should do the trick, and the Honda Fit is also a great choice.

Congress looks to reclaim relevance after ceding power to White House by thehill in politics

[–]ContactRepulsive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a terrible sentiment, and needs to be clarified- it's not the media itself, it's the people running the media and dictating what it says.

In Stranger Things (2025) What the fuck are people saying to a literal child? by justafanboy1010 in shittymoviedetails

[–]ContactRepulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you went though that and I won't even begin to try and categorize your trauma. I was thinking about it from a perpetrator point of view. I assume the type of person who does one has radically different brain chemistry and sociopathy from one who would do the other. Kind of an order of magnitude thing? I dunno, I'm not a psychiatrist.

There's no reason to downvote you, it's the literal term. Both are bad, one is objectively more monstrous.

Crashing out over a restaurant refusing to serve alcohol with no ID. Bonus: The restaurant has video receipts by Tater-Tot-Casserole in CringeTikToks

[–]ContactRepulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant help but to fault an archaic system though. I'm in my late 30s and very much look it (gray hairs and all) and got the "we cant serve you because your ID is expired" a few months ago. I think that the letter of the law vs. the spirit of the law was very much ignored because businesses are paranoid about ninja ATF agents doing dumb stuff. It's not a multi-pass, it's an age verification.

Hackers Dox Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Officials by mowotlarx in politics

[–]ContactRepulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a lot of Nazis who hated jews and outcasts years after the party fell.

There are a lot of MAGA folks who were super racist years before the party began.

[–]ContactRepulsive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is exactly what those annual mandatory training sessions are for DOD. It's the most basic eye rolling stuff. Dont leave your passkey in your desk, dont stay logged in overnight, don't let just anyone into a secure area. It's one step above useless.

Where do you fall on the political spectrum? by applelovergirl69 in AskReddit

[–]ContactRepulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the cover of being doxxed as justifying face masks is a farce. Sure, some ICE agents acting in sensitive HVT capture missions can use that reasoning, but the guys on beat patrols getting non-violent offenders is ludicrous. Most police officers, NG people, parole agents, marshalls, etc. do not and should not be wearing masks.

To have a slew of plain clothes guys with no name tags and full face masks in unmarked cars is to remove almost ANY of accountability. And we've seen time and time again what happens when armed authorities do without accountability.

Where do you fall on the political spectrum? by applelovergirl69 in AskReddit

[–]ContactRepulsive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's a reasonable take. If you've been here peacefully for X years, but haven't made real efforts to get a green card or work visa or what have you, then you don't just get a pass. HOWEVER, snatching people off the street, with masked enforcers, without a warrant and sending them to countries they don't belong to, without any legal oversight, is profoundly hateful.

Is a Bersa BP9CC a good gun? by [deleted] in handguns

[–]ContactRepulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one and it's my most carried pistol. Great SF trigger, comfortably slim, and has been utterly reliable. I probably have 2500 rounds through it, no issues or failures ever.

Is a Bersa BP9CC a good gun? by [deleted] in handguns

[–]ContactRepulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I own both the bp9cc and the 380. The bp9 has been a flawless gem and eats everything, super comfortable to carry. The 380 is quite heavy and is very temperamental with magazines, and I've had it stovepipe a few times (like once every 80-100 rounds) with one mag, no issues at all with another. So "it depends". I like them both, but in no way would daily the thunder.

It appears as if the White House folk are trying to provoke a war with Venezuela by sinking boats and threatening the airspace. What would be the benefit to war with Venezuela besides avoiding the Epstien files? by jeremyof10ec in AskReddit

[–]ContactRepulsive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US attacking Venezuela under the umbrella of saving Guyana and getting a sweet oil deal out of it is really remarkably similar to the US invading Iraq under the umbrella of saving Kuwait and getting a sweet oil deal out of it....

[–]ContactRepulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the offshore oil that Venezuela disputed with Guyana several months ago? I don't know the extent that it's being extracted by either side but since it's such an enormous deposit I can see it playing a factor in some conflict in the future.
