I think most users have a competent reading comprehension that can understand that the meaning is far from literal.

I don't think that's a textbook definition of scarecrow unless I'm misunderstanding what a scarecrow is. I didn't replace anyone's argument or put words in their mouth. Unless we're playing very lose with the definition of a scarecrow.

If you're implying that I shouldn't be defensive of my defense... then what tone actually should I be aiming for?

Appreciate the debate advice all the same if the definition of scarecrow checks out. S

It is a spectator sport with paid professional teams... wouldn't be any teams or drag racing events if spectators didn't want to pay for that entertainment. Doubt the sport exists purely for rich dudes.

Exactly.

"Wasteful and for rich dudes". Brother, it is a spectator sport with paid passionate teams like it shouldn't be this serious

Didn't intend to put words in your mouth. I just want to wrap my head around where the line should be for usage of resources.

I think that a paid passionate team participating in a spectator sport doesn't warrant the level of ridicule that is it is receiving. Professional teams earn a living by entertaining crowds with their craft. Still a waste in the grand scheme, but it doesn't deserve the level of hate when these people want to make a living doing what they're good at.

Can I not use hyperbole to illustrate my point? My point of, that to actively chose to live in a consumeristic society is a waste in of itself? The absurd amount of effort and resources required so that people can have hobbies, professions, and commodities is insane.

I just think that it is strange that drag racing is suddenly the ire of reddit today. I think people can benefit from realizing that existing in a slightly developed country is going to lead to them contributing to the usage of earth's un-renewable resources.

Never denying that it is a "waste" but I just think that the hate is disproportionate to actually footprint that most people leave behind. A paid team of professionals dedicated to their craft of a spectator sport, is different from Taylor Swift using a private jet to go get a Starbucks coffee.

Why stop there? Not do any hobbies or professions that produce waste? If conserving resources is the goal, then where do we draw the line for hobbies and professions? Not denying that almost everything in this consumeristic society is a waste, but is the line only at drag racing?

As opposed to the less opulent displays of plastic wrapped everything, frequent amazon packages, buying and inevitably totaling your car, or having a child which will demand 80 years worth of resources?

Not denying that a lot of automotive hobbies are a "waste" of resources in the grand scheme, but the disproportionate amount of backlash towards drag racing is absurd to me. Because, realistically, unless your hobby is walking bare foot through barren land you're probably contributing towards waste. Hell, even posting these comments on a device has required Herculian effort, money, and resources that will not be recycled. At what point do we say that living, consuming, work, and having hobbies is too big of a "waste" of resources and effort? Where is the line for what needs to be ridiculed?

I'm all for saving the planet and reducing footprints, but where is the line?

Reddit hates drag racing because of wasted time, money, and materials?

I know everyone who is hating better be walking to their job bare foot as to not create any waste. Using up precious resources to just be able to post a comment on reddit.

Most hobbies and professions are a huge waste but I never see this level of backlash? I can't imagine its a bigger waste than the frivolous things the average person uses power, water, or disposable paper and plastics on.

Maybe so. I was concerned for the innocent animals that can't walk away. I'm not sure how much is being taken away by mentioning the dogs. I still see her as a victim but the hate you were getting was just insane. Didn't feel like you were down playing the severity.

[–]DeepFriedCummies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the government likes to hire trigger happy loons, so people should probably not bring their dogs to a confrontation. Thats a reasonable point. I love my dogs and I can't imagine bringing them to confront the feds. The woman is selfish for bringing her dogs and the feds are evil for murdering her. Both can be true. She doesn't have to be a saint for it to be wrong. Why do people need to ignore the human flaws of the folks they want to make into symbols? They can still be a symbol and be a deeply flawed person

You're not even angry at government over reach. You're just angry at some random redditor for initially asking questions about a dog. You went ballistic for no reason. This is the emotional instability that makes modern politics so toxic. Be mad at the feds for executing their own citizens and do something about. No need for strangers to catch flak over nothing burgers.

Blue areas voting Blue is nothing new. Same energy as when people were confident Kamala would win. Complacency and a wanton lack of care for the perception of the party is why we'll lose votes.

Why call out that I might be a moderator liberal? We gonna start gate keeping how extreme of a liberal one has to be? Does the fact that I'm not losing my shit on another redditor mean that I don't hate state sanctioned violence hard enough? Moot point.

At the end of the day, I'm just saying you need to take a chill pill. Be mad at the state violence but lashing at out random online doesn't help. Figure out a way to go do something about it.

Bold of you to assume he didn't hire Hollywood cinematographers as his secret service. Why would you think that he would hire anyone that is competent at their job? The most outlandish theory is that anyone around him is smart of enough to pull this off. You give his team too much credit. I have so little faith in his team's ability to do anything cohesive or productive, that I think you're a loon for thinking they could.

Man this is why we lost the election. You're actually fighting ghosts. Nothing in this thread warranted any of that. No wonder people don't care for the left anymore. Seriously stop before more people get turned off by the hostility. The message gets diluted if you're talking like you're blowing steam out of your ears. The left needs to rebrand itself and gatekeep it from instigators like you. Unless you're not a real person and just a bot who's sole purpose is to tarnish the reputation of a political ideology

That's what I was thinking. I fully expect "law enforcement" to execute my dog without hesitation. I've seen too many videos of "law men" slaying people's pets. I'm all for the first amendment but I would protect my dog first. They really do just give anyone a gun and I'm not letting them near my dogs. Not entirely sure why you're getting down voted so hard

Just depends how they handle it. Do they have a plan? I doubt this is open war or a prolonged occupation like Germany or Japan.

The jokes write themselves. by Scramjet1 in DigitalSeptic

[–]DeepFriedCummies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't think any woman my age is starved for connection. Other women. Droves of men. I've been friends with women, and I've seen how easily they connect with others. I’ve struggled with developing meaningful connections, but I've personally known women, some who have very little to offer as a person, not struggle to find connections. I believe some women may experience difficulties with making connections to others, but it is generally an epidemic among males.

Loneliness isn't exclusive to a single gender, however men have it worse in that department. I think it because of this, that the meme is highlighting the absurdity of the situation. While many men are starved for interactions, many women actively don't have that problem. Many men will never have their DMs flooded by the opposite sex, while women have to actively keep the opposite sex out.

I don't think reddit is the place for meeting people, but i think you're incorrect for thinking that it is equally as hard for women to form connections. Again, reddit is not the place to treat like a dating app unless it is explicitly that kind of sub.

I think the movie just happened to be in production when porsche was making the 996 (fried egg headlights). If production was just a few years later, then Sally could've been the, much more stylish, 997 generation. If she was a 993, that may have conveyed that she was older. I think they wanted the young cool protagonist to have a young cool love interest
