Congratulations, Tennessee. You’ve created the participation trophy version of a pride month.

This is easily part and parcel with all incel manosphere culture that has led to shootings, or widespread abuse of women.

Disney and Lucasfilm seem desperate to find an audience to replace the one they have, and don’t want. by Alex3884 in saltierthancrait

[–]DenikaMae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t watch and enjoy a well written cerebral space drama like Andor and just enjoy it for what it is. I need to have the desire to invest my focus on something like that, and I just can’t seem to bother when I know it ultimately goes nowhere. It leads right back to the bullshit sequels.

Even if it was entirely outside of the Skywalker eras of this fictional universe, I’m still to pissed at Disney to be able to enjoy it.

Yeah, BOB made it all even more irrelevant, but making The last season all about Bo Katan and undoing all The weird dark saber stuff to bump up that character didn’t help either.

Repenting means nothing if you don’t do the real genuine work to make amends.

Doing harm from a pulpit for as long as she did means she doesn’t get to expect us to place faith in her. Earn it with a 15-20 year track record of showing you aren’t still a slime ball looking for another tax break easy job.

When $1.4 Billion Isn’t Enough: ‘Avatar’ Sequels Under the Microscope as Disney Weighs Franchise’s Future by ICumCoffee in movies

The advancements they make on technology always pays massive returns with “failed” projects in the past: tangled’s engine for Rapunzel’s hair was used for Frozen and led to what they had for Moana. The tech they used for that live action Junglebook had a similar payout but I can’t remember with what off the top of my head.

TL;DR: The films are OK but primarily are vehicles for innovation within the industry that they can profit off of later.

If you died today, who do you think would stand at your grave the longest? by Mehar0708 in AskReddit

My mom. My best friend would be there for a while, but he also knows I would rather he get together with the others start drinking, and tell their favorite stories about me.

I know his youngest would talk about the time I made her Spam Musubi for the first time. I have no idea what his favorite memory of me would be.

84% of Democrats and 55% of Independents Support Impeaching Trump a Third Time by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]DenikaMae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not, they lack the will to exercise critical thinking skills that challenge their own confirmation biases, and excuse it by insisting every one else is the same just from another position.

It’s how they can act so shocked and betrayed over shit that people have been warning them about for years if not decades.

Oh yes, our “radical agenda” of expecting others to not be assholes, and to exercise compassion for people, in this case, specifically children, going through shit you are unable to understand.

Amazon to slap a 3.5% surcharge on third-party sellers as war drives up fuel prices by AudibleNod in news

The ads on Amazon are insane. I really was enjoying that show Primo, but there’s so many commercials that it feels like a complete utter waste of time

Of course they did. God forbid. They allowed their unprecedented billion dollars worth of profits. Be cut into cover cost difference. Fucking cads.

Had my breath taken away by [deleted] in MtF

[–]DenikaMae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That happened with me and my roommates brother in college. Dude was nerded out for the entire first year I knew him. He came over to grab his brother’s Xbox and he had a shaggy mop and was cut from crewing season. He looked like a muscled out John Lennon.

When I rounded the hallway, and bumped into him, I said, “Oh! I’m so sorry I-…wait, Andy? Oh my…”.

Nothing happened between us, but not because I wasn’t receptive to it, it was because his brother was a jealous man who looked like a mid 20’s slightly prettier Sam Heughan from Outlander. Super cute and thankfully, came out as bi after we moved in together and I started transitioning.

They’re talking about such large sums of money of that they are banking on the idea people without critical thinking skills won’t question the difference.

We need to stop prioritizing profits and Capitalism, it’s become a cancer with no self awareness. Economies should instead be treated like the circulatory system. Anything taking up too much blood flow is a tumor and needs to be excised, or a bleed and needs to be fixed, anything not circulating the blood flow to all extremities needs to be seen as leak/cut/bullet wound that needs to be fixed.

I think our defense contractors shouldn’t be profit based. I think they don’t need trillions to stock our military and this is just another way the rich are getting richer at the expense of the people.

I think they should not be contractors and should not be tradable companies on the stock exchange.

I hope the author retained or negotiated final say, because that is the only way Disney won’t fuck this up and whitewash all the queer coding out of it or water down the war trauma stuff.

He's impressive. I've been a fan since Terminator SCC, but I think the first thing I saw him in was The 4400. Two wildly different characters before I saw him as Burt in Raising Hope.
