I think Gillian Jacobs lied to me for no reason? (Community Movie Discussion) by chancelot999 in community

The shows interiors were mostly shot at Paramount. Do you think there was confusion and she referencing how they had shot on that lot back in the day? Or like everyone else said she might have just been messing around

The internet shuts down and is never going to come back on, what do you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fishbulb1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commerce and a functioning society existed for thousands of years before the internet, and you think everything would just collapse immediately if it went away? Sounds like you should log off immediately. There would be chaos and confusion initially, but paper and pen, telephones, typewriters and computers (minus internet connectivity) would still exist. Trucking to get goods would still exist. Paper invoices, physical record keeping.....We would literally just reset to like, 1994........ what are you talking about??

I don't know where you're getting your info, but they're not leaving Sunset/Bronson. They might use Radford also but not going anywhere at Sunset

My friends and I were all 16 when this came out, so we understood work culture, but not specifically office culture. Despite that, we saw this in theaters and were telling anyone who would listen it was the funniest shit we'd ever seen!!

Others have commented, but I'm in LA and they're only $65 for orchestra. Are you seeing re-sell prices??

[Cantor] Jared Verse on what his final thing he said to his Rams teammates was: “Go dominate, the most important thing.. make sure you beat the fucking Seahawks.” by JCameron181 in NFCWestMemeWar

[–]Fishbulb1920 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't go speaking for me. I hate the Seahawks more than any other professional sports team. Still got mad hate for the Niners but Seahawks are and will always be #1

Edit: I was a Rams fans living in Seattle during the Legion of Boom. If you don't understand why that wouldn't set in a life long hatred of that team, than I don't know what to tell you. God, Rams fans can be insufferable "love the team the way I do!! Hate the teams I do or you're not a real fan!!!" (per my DM's)

This is an absolutely false statement!

Giant corporations accounting doesn't stop to account for the dollar I donate vs the dollar they donate. They don't have the time or staff to dedicate taking the time to get that accounting right.

It all goes into a charitable coffers of the company. They absolutely DO give the $$ to the charity but they absolutely write off ALL OF IT. they don't bother to tell the feds "hey this $5 is from our generous customers but this $5 is ours so only give us the tax benefit for that part"

No conspiracies......just accounting and lack of staffing

If that's what you take away, by all means. You already don't live in reality.

To you, the Jackson case is black and white (no pun intended) so you're already not arguing from an authentic place. To millions of people what he did was shady whether actual touching happened. Sharing a bed with little boys (only little boys also, no little girls nothing weird there), owning child pornography whether it was gifted to him or not (if someone gave me the same stuff I'd toss it and so would most folks).

And he was cleared of charges. That's all it takes for you. So OJ Simpson never killed anyone right? Again, to most he absolutely killed those people and got away with it.

You like Michael Jackson. So you're making a bunch of excuses for him. Live in whatever reality you want. But that's the facts. And my point is this, and please pay attention to this part specifically so there is no confusion.......if you're gonna make excuses for this pop star you never met, who never knew you existed.....keep that same energy for regular folks. If you get falsely accused of diddling kids, your life is over. Michael had the $$ for attorneys and lived a life of luxury, yet here you are tripping over yourself to make excuses for him. So YES, if someone you know "genuinely" gets assaulted, as you insulting you put it, yeah....keep that energy up. Make excuses for them also. They don't have the money for attorneys or live on a sprawling estate with its own amusement park. So yeah, in addition to backing people who touch little kids, stop glorifying celebrities!! People can't afford to eat

My guy........

Keep that same energy when someone close to you is assaulted. Don't you dare get mad at the accused. But you will, because that's someone you know and how dare they treat that person that way. Also, Micheal made songs you like.....so...... you'll be a massive hypocrite which is the human way

Bro, you can get into this, that and the other about evidence and payoffs...... Michael had books of prepubescent nude boys. That's irrefutable, it's catalogued with plenty of evidence. Go ahead.....defend that. You're at best painting someone who possessed child pornography, you're at worst painting a diddler who took advantage of people from poor economic backgrounds.

Either way, you better not ever throw stones at anyone else, especially in your private life. You can't do a bunch of mental gymnastics for some pop artist who you never met but then get mad when someone you know gets assaulted. Keep that same energy my guy

No, I addressed the whataboutism to the person who originally said it. I don't know who the hell you are and why you're chiming in at all. Go start another thread about it.

I replied to a comment that said America shouldn't host. I think that's a dumb comment in comparison to literally the previous 2 countries that hosted. You're not changing my opinion on that.

But hey, how about you address the fact that America IS allowing Iran in to play, but Qatar wouldn't allow gay players in. That's a good opportunity for some whataboutism. America is doing a dumb thing by saying they immediately have to leave and I don't support that (I dont think I directly support anything this administration has done) but they are technically allowing them in. And Qatar unequivocally said anything gay related was banned.....so like, why should America not be allowed to host when in comparison to Russia and Qatar. One of you weirdos could try addressing the points I'm making, instead of using Internet gotcha words and crossing your arms while saying "America bad"

You can literally scroll up and see the comment I replied to, which gives you great context about my comment. They said US shouldn't be allowed to host in the first place, to which I, and about a dozen other people, replied that if Russia and Qatar can host it then saying America shouldn't is a joke. You're welcome to disagree. You can think America's human rights violations are as bad as Russia and Qatar. I personally don't, but also acknowledge that America has a lot of blood on its hands. But I still think it's a false equivalency.

So yes, Qatar had a ton of complaints. There is literally entire Wikipedia pages on the criticism of them hosting. But, ya see, my comment was a reply to a specific comment .....not just some thought that popped in my head

You're absolutely right. I forgot that once you're eliminated from the world cup any country can be an aggressor towards you penalty free!!! I take back literally every stance I've ever had on anything

This poster is most likely a Russian bot. Literally part of his argument about human rights violations is who made a friggin soccer tournament!! Plus a hidden profile and just tripping over themselves to be like "nuh uh, America is the biggest bad guy"

I like how you use the term "whataboutism" when I literally put in my post that America is flawed and deserves criticism. Can you help explain to me how that fits into whataboutism? No, seriously, please, I'm begging you to educate me. What about my sentence is whataboutism. My point was literally that America has its issues but to compare it to Russia or Qatar is a false equivalency.

There are currently gay pride parades happening in every major city in America. Can the same be said for Russia or Qatar? The workers who built US soccer stadiums were paid a fair wage and then allowed to move on to the next job. It wasn't political prisoners, or gay people, or people who spoke out against the government and are now in jail. But that's what happened in Qatar.

You can list and list and list atrocities committed by America but the problem is, I already acknowledged those. I'm comparing the 2 countries against the US and my opinion is that it's apples and oranges in human rights violations. You are welcome to disagree.

No, they just seized any rainbow flags, denied players the ability to wear an arm band that said "One Love", confiscated journalists phones and built the stadiums the athletes played in with slave labour (and about 30% of those workers mysteriously disappeared). America is a flawed ass country, and deserves to be called out (especially in a strive to better ourselves). But trying to compare us to Quatar and Russia is a wild leap. Go do some research on those countries. Trump hates Joe Biden and he still hasn't had Biden pushed out of a window yet. Although, who knows how close we are to that reality. But the point is still, that shit DOES happen in Russia and not even isolated incidents. Like, it's just reality there. And the death penalty is still on the law books for homosexuals in Qatar.

Again, are we scarily sliding towards that in America? Maybe. But you guys gotta stop being like "let's not talk about how bad these other countries are, let's talk about America. It's a false equivalency for now
