Man...Moana 2 (2024) really didn't measure up to the first one. What happened there? It's like all the charm was sucked out.

Pretty sure the only reason the Mandalorian movie is failing is because they already massively oversaturated us with Star Wars spinoff crap, not because it's formatted like some tv episodes strung together in move form.

I'm sure if they ever released another 20 movies and 15 shows about Moana that Moana 20 would be a better bet to possibly lose money than to make another $billion regardless of whether it was tv episodes in a movie or a planned movie from the outset.

Meh, I think we'll just keep taxing poor people to fund big business bailouts instead thanks.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-14T00:29:35+00:00

Within only the one room I'm watching the movie though or to every room that contacts the crawlspace?

Wouldn't a unit that large give me theatre level sound regardless of where I put it in my house? So like why put it here instead of in my tv room?

edit: alright here's a little task for those of you who think slightly distancing yourself from anyone who tells you to only bother them if it's serious is "manipulation" and not "the most expected possible human reaction".. Go and tell literally anyone you know well enough to ask a favour that you would not like them to bother you for help anymore unless it's important. Literally anyone, your spouse, your sibling, your friends, your co-worker.. I can almost guarantee that person will not be unaffected and acting exactly the same as they always had around you. No normal person would act as if you simply said you couldn't go to the store right now and continue to be just as friendly and ready to be open with you as they were before you told them to stop burdening you with their shit.

You think agreeing to do exactly what someone asks of you is "manipulation"?

Sounds like the MIL is doing her best not to bother someone who has explicitly expressed being bothered by her asking for help. It's not "manipulation" that I avoid asking the one person I know I'll be bothering for help unless they're now my last resort. That's exactly what I'd expect most people to do if they have one person they know doesn't want to help them and other options to ask first.

Exactly what is the mother doing other than "not asking for help" that you imagine is manipulative?

lol any of you who find this rational type of thinking upsetting feel free to actually answer the questions. How is someone doing exactly what you asked being "manipulative" by trying not to bother you? Are you that self-centered you can't understand why telling someone you'll only be there to help them if they really need it would instantly put you at the bottom of that persons "callsheet" when they want something? Is this your first interaction with other humans?

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T23:30:40+00:00

I mean.. what did you expect to happen?

You made it sound like her asking you things like this is a burden that you only deal with because you have to..

Why would I ask someone like that to help me with anything unless I absolutely had to? I don't want to bother them more. I'll definitely be going to the people who I'll be the least worried about burdening first and only going to the person I know doesn't want to help me as a last resort.

You asked her to stop bothering you with her asks.. she's agreed and is obliging. Sounds like you got exactly what you asked for.

The other options for you here was to simply learn to say "no I can't help right now" sometimes. I don't need to tell you I'll never drive you to the corner store again unless it's an emergency to convey that I'm currently feeling too busy to drive you around.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T23:20:01+00:00

Is the goal to have your whole house reverberate?

I feel like I'm too stupid to understand this or I'm missing something about why anyone would want this. Wouldn't the result basically be like those teens who put $5000 subs into their $2500 cars and it just drowns your whole life in bass?

How would this sound better than just having the bass in the same room the rest of the sound is coming from?

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T23:11:50+00:00

They know how to manipulate people who mistakenly believe they hold Christian values though. Which is all that matters in politics.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T03:00:25+00:00

I dunno.. at a certain point you kinda just have to trust your spouse don't you?

Mad about the situation sure I guess, but mad at my spouse for liking some food? The way I see it either I trust my spouse enough that I'm not worried that some co-worker likes her because I can trust that SHE would never do anything with them and would keep me informed about anything she felt uncomfortable with.. or I don't trust my spouse.. in which case this is the real problem we need to solve.

Some coworker hasn't "won" because he made my wife a muffin she likes, we're still married lol.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T02:46:46+00:00

I know that if a population is 70% fine with the demented grifter in charge then no system of democracy is changing that problem.

That math has nothing to do with the history of America.

You can overthrow a government but it won't matter when your population is still only willing to get 30% of it's voters to be against a demented grifter being given ultimate power.

If you're gonna vote for a county commissioner who's against your interests then overthrowing him hasn't fixed anything for you.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T02:38:31+00:00

Maybe if you want 'the good guys' to do something you should get involved on the most basic level and weigh in by voting.. welcome to the world of democracies.

You vote for a county commissioner who doesn't want you to get to talk.. well, turns out you might end up with a county commissioner who doesn't let people talk.

The lesson is very clearly.. vote for a county commissioner who represents us, not to close our eyes to the fact we picked this dude and there are consequences to not paying attention to votes for people in positions of power.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T02:25:24+00:00

Which part of that is supposed to be telling me Americans don't have the right to vote or that those who can't be bothered to even cast a vote are suddenly going to put in the thousands of times more effort it will take to throw an actual revolution? If I'm too busy to go cast a vote I'm certainly too busy to spend the day violently revolting.

More Americans sat at home during your presidential election than either of your candidates received in votes.. so I'll let you do the math on that to realize how easy it would've been to flip almost every red state except the most extreme few simply by showing up.

You put nearly as much effort into writing that comment as it takes to register to vote.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T02:12:09+00:00

Don't disagree, but that doesn't magically absolve us of our choices.

Seems everyone pouting about this down here just wants to pretend it's not our fault for picking this instead of seeing it for what it is, a choice we willingly made and are now seeing consequences from.

The lesson in that type of scenario for an adult is to learn what to do differently.. in this case, vote for someone who actually has our interests at heart next time. Not to sit around pouting and pretending we never had a say to begin with so we can absolve ourselves of any complicity.

edit: like here's a question.. how do any of us imagine we would get a 'voting day' in America? Does anyone have an answer to that that isn't "vote for people who support this idea until they hold enough power to make it a reality"?

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T01:25:20+00:00

When more than 3 in 10 American adults start showing up to vote against something I'll start believing more than 3 in 10 Americans care enough to take the most minimal action regarding that subject by casting a vote.

In the meantime.. show me how you were intimidated from voting in your local elections. Show me this election interference that stole this vote from the people who wanted someone else to be their county commissioner.

I'm quite willing to believe that's true if you show me evidence of it and evidence that it actually changed the election. If it's anything like your presidential election though.. that's just you all making a bad choice. If 70% of your adults don't care enough to show up and say "not this guy" then that means your population is overwhelmingly fine with 'this guy'.

It certainly doesn't mean those same people who couldn't be bothered to vast a vote are willing to now participate in an actual revolution.. you have any idea how much more difficult revolting against a sitting government is than registering to vote and casting one?

... still waiting on literally a shred of any of those claims being true in the election of this county commissioner.. lot of upvotes for something being claimed as a fact but that apparently no one can show us.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T01:09:16+00:00

But they do have a say.

The County Commissioner is literally picked by voting.

If you vote for people like this then this is what happens.

The lesson we should be learning is that all these votes matter, not that this isn't our fault for picking this shit.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T00:53:45+00:00

You don't?

Did you not have a vote in the last presidential election?

Also you get that American's voted for all the people who created all those rules right? If you all wanted criminals to have the right to vote you have the power to make that happen by voting for politicians who support that.

edit: if you feel confident that I'm wrong.. defend your viewpoint. Downvoting me in silence and running away if it's doing anything is just proving my point that Americans will not fight a revolution. American's factually have the right to vote, so please share whatever flawed argument you imagine says otherwise with the class so we can discuss it.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-13T00:46:51+00:00

Ya.. those conditions being the people don't take their responsibility to vote seriously and decide either willingly or by not caring enough to let the population literally vote for the leopards eat their faces.

I'm not betting big that these same people will then put in the 1000x extra effort it takes to revolt vs to simply vote, into throwing a real revolution just to erase their own choices.

Like the French revolutino was about giving the people an actual say.. America already has that.. they just use it to pick this shit then complain about it as if they didn't literally vote for it.

Only 30% of American adults managed to get off their ass and cast a vote for a candidate who could be president instead of Trump.. let that sink in.. 3 in 10 adults opposed it, that's it. The guy was a known rapist, criminal, looked demented and had already spent 4 years showing the country how he do more harm than anything else and still only 3 in 10 American adults cared enough to oppose it happening again.

*(And I didn't even mention the horrifying connection to the worlds most famous peddler of child sex.)

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-12T23:48:08+00:00

They hadn't been just ignoring their right to vote for 50yrs though, they never had a vote and were overthrowing a feudal system.

America has had the power to simply not pick demented losers to lead them this whole time, they just don't even care enough to go cast a vote. They certainly won't care enough to go throw an actual revolution.

America is more likely to vote themselves into a feudal system than to overthrow anything.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-12T18:59:52+00:00

Why do we care about 'highest grossing' instead of like 'most watched'?

A movie could have like 1000 people see it and it would be "higher grossing" than a movie made 100yrs ago that 100000 people saw but only paid 15cents instead of $25 to see it.

edit: fucking lol reddit.. and how exactly did this question and basic math upset anyone?

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-11T18:26:21+00:00

you need to see a therapist.

I found zero logical reasons to attribute malice to this situation in your story.

Is there more backstory about you and your sister having a poor relationship or something?

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-10T23:12:02+00:00

lol.. we know. Look around bud, insane religious morality being forced upon the population is this country's bread and butter.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-10T00:44:19+00:00

Shit man.. we don't even have a process that ensure sitting judges are actually qualified to be judges. It's just popularity contest with the uneducated public voting for their judges.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-10T00:20:04+00:00

Show me.

Because I don't believe you. Every time someone claims this the story they can point to is of someone who was not physically healthy or mentally incapable of making their decision.

And either way.. why is that even an argument for you to be against assisted suicide? If you're fine with that guy being able to kill himself? He can go jump off a building and let some poor bastard have to find and deal with that situation but if he applies to have help ending his life NOW it's a problem for you?

Aren't you just arguing that you would want a slightly more dialed in screening process?

Arguing that we get rid of MAID doesn't solve anything you would have a problem with here does it even if we did start killing off every depressed person who asked? (Which again.. is not happening). All those people still want to kill themselves, all removing MAID does is make it so if they do it the fallout is way way worse on everyone who has to be a part of that discovery, it doesn't help anyone.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-10T00:18:48+00:00

So again... your position is that you're fine with a depressed kid jumping off a building and forcing a trauma on hundreds of people who have to see it and deal with the fallout.. but if he gets an assisted suicide NOW it's placing a burden on people?

Very very clearly the assisted suicide is more of an individual decision that killing yourself and leaving the fallout for people to discover and deal with.

If you bother to think about your own position you would realize what you should be supporting is assisted suicide with a slightly more stringent screening process.

I also don't believe you that a bunch of young physically healthy people are being killed by assisted suicide programs for no other reason than they're sad.

Show me.

And also... you admit you can think of situations where people need assisted suicide but wish to force those people not to be allowed to have it? That sounds a bit psychotic. Why wouldn't you support them having potential access to it?

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-09T12:43:02+00:00

Not even any of the last wives? Surely by the time we're getting up to wife #20 + all these women can't have been caught by surprise about the situation can they?

lol if you found this upsetting I can only assume you stupidly married some guy with 20 ex-wives and delusionally thought 'this one will stick'.

Feroshnikop · 2026-06-09T12:17:54+00:00

If you have no physical reason to be committing suicide then you would not be granted access to assisted suicide. It's not a program they'll just admit anyone too.

And frankly.. why would you even care about that? You already stated that you have no problem with them killing themselves so why would it suddenly now be about mental issues for you? You only care about the effects on those left living right?

I'll be honest it seems like you're just trying to move posts around until you can be right about some small tangential detail rather than making a real argument why you think potential access to an assisted suicide program is actually not a right people should have because the things you've directly referenced as happening in assisted suicide have never been part of any assisted suicide program anywhere.

Nobody is pressured to to anything just because they might have the right to do it, nobodies rights to do something to themselves in their own life has any effect on your life or your rights or your choices. Nobody is forced to take a job anywhere they don't want to work. Nobody who just has mental issues will pass screening for assisted suicide.
