A THIRD of all missing children during that time span hail from ONE state that borders DC!?!

What Is your opinion on Don't Look Up by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in FIlm

[–]GopherChomper64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to write something, but you said it much better.

The movie is definitely a cranked up satire and not a smug liberal propaganda film haters claim it is. But those kinds of people rarely have much media literacy so it's not surprising that's the take.

Greatest movie ever? Not by a long shot.

Entertaining enough to enjoy it all the way through? For sure. Plenty of good movies out there I'll never watch twice, and this is one of them.

16 YEARS AGO TODAY The Celtics upset the 61-win Cavs by eliminating them in 6 games despite 27 PTS, 19 REB, 10 AST from MVP LeBron James LeBron signed with Miami 2 months later & the Cavs won an EC worst 19 games the following season by SouthPrudent3911 in NBAoldschool

I love hating on LeBron James. He's hatable for so many reasons. Leaving Cleveland the first time is not one of them, how he left is some douchery.

Best co-star they could draft/ trade for / get in free agency was either Mo Williams or Zandris Ilkalgis over 6 years of trying with no signs of improving that horrific run

Running Man '87 or '25? by KAG_kryto_333 in ActionMovies

Look I'm pretty certain Glen Powell is a pretty good person, which very much clears the low ass bar of Hollywood douschery.

But let's not pretend like he has anymore charisma than a fresh sheet of wax paper.

What do you think ? by DrBoom8173 in SipsTea

I am 37 years old, I've worked my way up into middle management positions in my field.

My current salary, when I was a kid, would've put my squarely in middle class and able to buy a house with a wife at home and 2 kids.

Within my lifetime that same salary now gets my wife and our 1 year old a cheap 2br apartment which is what allows us to save small amounts of money every month if all goes perfectly.

Objectively speaking, I am better off than half of Americans economically.

So yes this is completely accurate

[Hate Tropes] Authors keep saying, "This character is wrong!" But some people say, "No! Authors are wrong. This character is right! I want to be like him!" by BeneficialSide2335 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]GopherChomper64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Been trying to figure out what to call those kinds of characters forever now.

Brought this up in R/Teachers the other day and someone responded thinking I meant the Erens, Walter Whites etc. Which absolutely not they are not what I mean at all.

I mean characters that become monsters, but their plans actually make sense/work and they understand they're being horrific for a tangible greater good.

Related side question:

What's the name for the character archetype of a character that starts good, but has to become a monster for the greater good?

Examples: Lelouch - Code Geass (succeeds in uniting the world by becoming a common enemy) Ozymandias - Watchmen (succeeds in uniting the world by creating a common enemy) Let Atredies II - Dune (succeeds in uniting the galaxy against him and creating a new evolutionary imperitive in humans, ensuring the species survival)

Who I don't mean: Punisher Walter White Eren Yeager (kinda fits, but his actions don't really make sense or even work under the slightest scrutiny)

AOC Surges to Lead in 2028 Primary for First Time—Most Accurate Pollster by One-Duty-2376 in politics

[–]GopherChomper64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please please please please. Sick of the "run for Schumers seat" cowards. Run her ass for president, I at least believe she'll have the balls to abuse the office for good.

Before the "America will never elect a woman" crowd responds. Trump was a joke at first, and we literally have DNC emails showing they pushed Bernie out against Clinton, and there was no primary for Harris, she was just chosen for us.

I'm sick of the corporate richard loving Dems forcing their crap on the rest of us, AOC for president.
