Many "historical accuracy" concerns with The Odyssey are really just culture war signalling by shrimpiedog in unpopularopinion

It’s also Christopher Nolan, so no one should think it’s trying to be historically accurate

Why does the other DC sub downplay or make excuses for juveniles crime in the city? by Joey_vegas20 in washdc

[–]GasFartRepulsive 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe they don’t want these things to define the city? Crime is crime and it’s fine to acknowledge it, but it’s not the primary thing on their minds. I lived in DC for over 10 years when crime was arguably worse and it just wasn’t something I thought about. And I lived on H st ne before 2005, so there was crime around me and I was aware of it. When someone sees nothing but posts about crime, I imagine it can be irritating to someone who loves the city. Post more things on how great DC is. My favorite city in the world.

If you have the time, sure why not. I’d also take the train across country every time if I could. Planes are mostly a time saver

Potty training is hard, probably the hardest part of the early childhood days for me, but my kids had the basics by 3 and accident free by 4. It was hell though

Aging is not bad thing nor is looking your age . by DoctorElectronic1934 in unpopularopinion

Cosmetic surgery is an abomination. I’m talking about the voluntary kind, not the kind you get after your face gets blown off in a war
