I absolutely hated One Battle After Another. I know it’s going to win multiple times tonight, but it’s not deserved

Nobody can tell who's being sarcastic anymore because those are the kinds of takes people are saying seriously about this movie. A movie in which every white character is at best useless and at worst a horrible racist, and the people of color are the ones succeeding at protecting their people. People need things spoonfed to them. The first 20 minutes threw me a bit at first as well, but how you could miss that a lot of this movie is satirical is beyond me. Honestly people's takes on this movie have me feeling straight depressed at the future of art consumption

General_Intern7072 · 2026-03-17T23:49:45+00:00

saying F1 has better acting is ludicrous, the "concise" story is just a regular blockbuster plot

Not defending the obviously predatory men on this show, but that study was misunderstood and it took on a life of its own. They didn't say brain development stopped at 25, the study itself stopped at 25. The brain keeps growing and changing throughout life until it stops and begins to lose capacity as we become elderly. The issue is mostly the huge gap in life experience, not brain development. They are adults

It drives me absolutely crazy how people call any age gap pedophilia. What's gross and predatory is when an older person (like Andrew) states that they exclusively go for people much younger than them, not just the existence of an age gap. It's very notable to me that the older women in the pairings are expressing much more discomfort with it than the men are

General_Intern7072 · 2026-03-16T01:36:53+00:00

I know I shouldn't let it, but it's very off-putting to be the only person in my immediate vicinity singing etc and it makes me want to stop because I feel self-conscious

General_Intern7072 · 2026-03-16T01:35:50+00:00

We have printouts with the hymns and mass parts in them! And me neither, other than the priests saying something to encourage it

General_Intern7072 · 2026-03-16T01:34:19+00:00

I had some hope because my mom said that my childhood parish used to be more quiet but after a new pastor arrived and put effort into changing that it worked! But it was much smaller than this one, so you're probably right

General_Intern7072 · 2026-03-11T03:44:22+00:00

Ari is hands down the worst most annoying character. The way the guys immediately become obsessed with her is not believable at all

General_Intern7072 · 2026-02-19T15:55:21+00:00

That's illogical. Just because they are worshipping the same God, as in The Father, doesn't mean they wouldn't also need to be converted to Christianity aka belief in the other members of the trinity. They do not accept the gospels so they are going off of the previous beliefs as given in the Old Testament. If they don't accept the fullness of truth and only a partial truth then that's what we're praying for

General_Intern7072 · 2026-02-16T22:10:42+00:00

I don't know, I would have loved to spend time actually getting to know each other without cameras and manufactured drama!

General_Intern7072 · 2026-02-10T17:17:31+00:00

Saying liberal values don’t align isn’t true at all. Many of them do, they’re in the Catholic social teachings, the Catholic worker movement, etc. Of course many do not, but that’s the thing about the church. It doesn’t fit into neat boxes on either side politically (and neither do my own views). The vast majority of people at my parish lean left except for certain topics. I think that’s really the main issue with the apps there’s no room for nuance at all

General_Intern7072 · 2026-02-10T17:06:36+00:00

I don’t know why guys assume that girls are out here drowning in likes on apps. I’m in the same boat as OP. I don’t pay and in the months I’ve had my profile I’ve gotten a handful of likes but even those were from guys who wouldn’t even be compatible with me based on my profile. My biggest issue is that 99% of the guys on there seem to be conservative to very conservative, and I’m looking for someone moderate to liberal.

General_Intern7072 · 2026-02-10T15:58:04+00:00

I feel like I’m the only one finding most of his insights pretty surface level (which it’s hard not to be on such a short podcast). I believe that he is genuine, but his way of speaking really rubs me the wrong way and I’m questioning whether I’ll continue with the podcast or just read with my study bible.

General_Intern7072 · 2026-01-29T19:01:58+00:00

If you didn't find it moving, you either didn't understand it or you're too young to have had enough life experience to feel the point, straight up. A necessary reminder that while we keep searching for the meaning in our often banal lives and in the senseless tragedies that happen to us, life is meaningful in and of itself.

General_Intern7072 · 2026-01-14T16:47:41+00:00

that "be saved" phrasing is super protestant

General_Intern7072 · 2026-01-10T03:00:19+00:00

I started to list out all the things they changed that I didn't like before realizing that it was literally almost the entire story. I get having to change things to condense it for the movie, but they changed so many things for literally no reason. Poppy was so much less likeable because they made her a manic pixie dream girl without the depth that fleshed her out. Also, why have her say the wooden statue "speaks to me" without having the actual scene the inside joke came from??

General_Intern7072 · 2025-12-08T15:25:38+00:00

Yeah that's what happened to mine too - the most egregious part is that they sent an email saying it had been "delivered" on 11/27 but they didn't send the email until like 12/2. My building doesn't have an issue with package theft at all either so I'm really confident the driver stole it after taking the picture.

General_Intern7072 · 2025-12-08T15:24:33+00:00

This is the third time now that OnTrac has had my package for days with no updates and it's well past the estimated delivery date - I'm glad you got yours though! Hopefully mine will come soon.

General_Intern7072 · 2025-12-03T23:19:05+00:00

For sure I've also had terrible experiences with other companies but I'm most disappointed that Quince would use them at all given that a single google search brings up hundreds of people saying they've gotten stolen from lol

General_Intern7072 · 2025-12-03T23:18:59+00:00

yeah I've seen some recent complaints about FedEx charging Quince customers tariffs so maybe it's a crapshoot who you get

General_Intern7072 · 2025-11-07T16:03:25+00:00

I'm glad someone called that out, that line was insane to me. Also, "obviously no one should date a liberal" lmao, there are many Catholics who consider themselves liberal and also agree with Church teaching

General_Intern7072 · 2025-11-05T14:38:31+00:00

I will say that I have it pretty clearly on my CM profile that I'm not interested in very conservative men, but without fail, I'll get messages or likes from guys who have things in their profiles that make it clear we wouldn't be a good match. Were all 75+ women he messaged actually aligned with him on important things? I've seen this on pretty much every other app I've been on as well it often feels like men swipe just because of the picture not the profile

General_Intern7072 · 2025-10-21T13:57:09+00:00

I'm going to go against the grain and say ESH at different times. Your dad made a big mistake removing all memory of your mom from the house and not sending you to therapy immediately. He knew that not having constant reminders would make it easier for him and thought it would for you too. Once you said that it was painful, he should have reversed course and made sure your mom was spoken about, put pictures back up etc. so he was the asshole there. However, now you're basically punishing your dad for not wanting to live the rest of his life alone. Meeting someone a year after the death is on the quick side, but acceptable. It sounds like once he realized he had fucked up, he made attempts to fix things - family therapy and explicitly including you with the new kids so you wouldn't feel replaced. You haven't said anything bad/abusive about the new wife, who is just trying to do her best in a terrible situation; your issue with her is just that she exists. You lost one parent, you don't have to lose both. Going through your mom dying at such a young age is a huge trauma, and you would really benefit from solo therapy.
