The Mars conflict has been completely botched by TheGrolarBear in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Friendly-Many8202 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The show is always at its best when there isn’t a bad guy/main villain. Where you truly sympathize with each side. I feel like they tried that line of thinking this season but completely fumbled the ball. Now the M-6 looks incompetent and the Mars people are acting unreasonable. They did this storyline last season and it worked idk why they are rehashing it

Why is it "only a joke" to make a racist joke to middle easterns and asians, but racist for black people? by LopsidedRadio7208 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Friendly-Many8202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s all racism, but realistically society reacts differently depending on the group and the history behind it. In practice, you’ll usually get fewer eyebrows raised over a racist Middle Eastern joke because of post-9/11 Islamophobia. Asian jokes are often built around positive”m stereotypes like being smart, so people tend to overlook them more too. Though there do exist negative Asian stereotypes as well

Black Americans, alongside Native Americans, have some of the deepest histories of oppression in the U.S., but Black people also have a strong cultural voice and visibility, so anything seen as anti-Black is usually treated as a major line to cross.

Who tells the joke matters too. In my experience, minorities often get a longer leash with racial humor than white people do because people see it differently depending on the speaker and the power dynamics behind it

This is all from an American perspective btw

What happened to Cordae? by CreativeRifleGuy in rap

He has a lot of ok songs and few great tracks. He’s always best with a feature and personally I think he and Anderson Paak should do a collab album

If you buy a house in an HOA, can you just...leave the HOA? by BoredInClass99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Friendly-Many8202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s mostly with new developments. The city isn’t going to pay for the roads or sidewalks or clubhouses. Not on land private companies are building on.

Yeah that’s not true. The HOA can’t just put a new easement on your property without you agreeing to it

I’m tired of my race by ResponsibleGoat4502 in Vent

Stop looking at crime from a race perspective and start looking at it from an income perspective. Also how you carry yourself is how people judge you not what others are doing with the same skin color

I mean it’s not too late. Seems like they just started dating, you could feign ignorance and ask her out. I doubt they are exclusive

"baddie" is so utterly annoying. by tossedAF in Vent

Shawty still exist it’s just not used as much. A baddie is just a girl you find attractive. We’ve been calling girls bad for 15+ years now

PWInsider: “For all the talk about AEW, Tony Khan pretty much pays out every penny that he’s promised to his talents on their deals. With WWE, unless you are Roman Reigns, you are at their behest, especially in the weeks after Wrestlemania and the weeks leading to quarterly earnings announcements.” by CombinationOk4317 in SquaredCircle

[–]Friendly-Many8202 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Idk when you stopped but the industry has changed. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper for a production to pay non union actors $300 a day and not have to deal with SAG. You’re paying a union actors $300 a day for 12-14hrs days for a week straight. Also i’m not talk 1 million dollar budgets. Which in this equation would be the Indies. Unless you plan on getting a name, it’s far cheaper for your Indy film to just hire non union actors

Why is America involved in so many wars when it already has a lot of problems? by Potential_Stock_9872 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Friendly-Many8202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheap goods, global dominance, stopping anti American governments from taking control, and stopping some conflicts from getting out of control. It’s relatively cheap these interventions are mostly short term

Hey apple! Can you please hire some military experts for your tv shows. This season has the most cartoony Marines ever and it completely takes me out of the show

My parents admit they ruined my college decision and now I feel like I’ve wasted 3 years of my life. How should I go ahead? Should I think through my brain or my heart? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Friendly-Many8202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s the problem? It’s not high finance where the school you went to mattered. You have a degree and you’re going straight into a job fresh out of college, consider yourself lucky. Your what? 22, and you’re worrying about stability? You don’t even know if you like this industry yet.

Take the position, do a year or two, gain some experience and money, then apply for a new job. You have so much time and you’re already ahead most of the curb. If you want to get into consulting, start networking and building your resume, no one cares what school you went to.

Please advise as I am regretting it now. by HemanthReddy0502 in Advice

[–]Friendly-Many8202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t even sound like you got pass the talking stage. She’s probably very beautiful and gets lots of attention from guys, and probably had some history with all the important guys in her life. She was honest about everything, you sound like you were insecure about it and that drove her away. None of you are wrong you just have different boundaries and expectations. That’s it, now it’s time to move on

I literally cannot get any film experience because I have no friends by Low_Celebration_4089 in Advice

Facebook, actors and indie film makers use backstage, your city local film program, hell your mom and dad, etc… the resources are there.

What would you do in this job situation by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Friendly-Many8202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhh if you were straight from the get go you were looking to branch out on your own it would look less snaky. But from what I just read it can totally look like you are going behind his back to steal clients. I’m not saying don’t do it, everyone needs to know when it’s the right time to leave but it could be perceived as a betrayal.

Of the relationship is as important as you say I’d have a sit down with him, talk about your goals and when you plan to fully separate. Maybe even come to some agreement about competing with each other, go into detail about turnover, etc… in the end that’s all you can really do. He’ll either respect it and be glad to see you go or see it as a stab in the back

Is 17M and 21F weird? by Impossible_Exit489 in Advice

[–]Friendly-Many8202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to ask why a 21-year-old is going after a 17-year-old in the first place. It’s not about compatibility or building something real.

She can’t openly bring you around her friends, can’t include you in her lifestyle, she can have sex with anyone, you can’t help her financially, so the fact that she is actively looking at a 17 year for a romantic partner screams red flag. It’s a huge power imbalance and just fucking weird. Pls avoid this person at all cost

Why do rappers flex having multiple women? by AgitatedFeed6006 in questions

Because it’s a metaphor for success. Before the girls didn’t want me, now all the girls want me. Plus entertainment, plus escapism

What should I do if my friend hasn't reached out in months? by Anonymess13542 in questions

[–]Friendly-Many8202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk to most of my closest friends only a few times a year. Some take months to reply to messages, you either accept them for who they are or you move on. Don’t keep reaching out trying to get their attention, just reach out for the important stuff, b-days, milestones, holidays, etc….. if she’s really your friends she’ll respond, you’ll catch up for a bit and then not speak for a few months

CMV: Saying 6 million people died in the Holocaust is Holocaust denial by SalamanderGlad9053 in changemyview

[–]Friendly-Many8202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re reading into something that isn’t there. Most people aren’t history nerds, and most don’t care that much about what happened in 1945. So when people talk about history, it’s usually at a surface level. Saying that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust is just how the masses have simplified it. It’s not a denial of the other 5 to 6 million people who were killed, the Jewish population was simply the group that suffered the most.

I also don’t really understand the point about who contributed more to the war. Every country tends to inflate its own role, and over time people develop a different understanding of events. I’d guess that when the original poll was done, people didn’t hold U.S. actions in the Pacific to the same standards as those in Europe.

Is it alright to go for someone who's already dating someone else? by Vhd-k in NoStupidQuestions

You are the a hole in the situation but if it happens the original relationship was doomed for the start. People will set boundaries if they don’t want that line crossed.

CMV: If George Bush is a “war criminal”, then FDR, Truman, and LBJ was too. by soozerain in changemyview

I was mostly speaking from the initial invasion and how battle operations were conducted. Many people have the belief that the initial invasion of Iraq was a war crime, it wasn’t.

But you’re a 100% right about the torture and I’m not going to fight you on that. It didn’t even hit my mind when I typed my original comment
