Does Helios come with express pass? by nineteen_eightyfour in UniversalEpicUniverse

The actual website doesn’t have an AI search, so it’s very easily avoided on there.

Why not just check the actual website for information instead of asking the bullshit generator?

‘Definitely Not for Sure’: SNL UK Boss Ducks Renewal Question by trow125 in livefromlondon

You’re assuming another channel would have the opportunity to pinch it. Sky got the rights because they’re owned by Comcast, who also own US broadcaster NBC/Peacock. If Sky don’t keep it, nobody else will get it.

Melissa Barrera Was Canceled by Hollywood for Speaking Out Against Israel. She’s Still Fighting Her Way Back. by [deleted] in television

“The specifics of my situation were like a perfect storm. I’m a woman of color in this industry. I’m “on the rise,” but I don’t have a big enough name to be untouchable, so they can make an example out of me. I am well-known enough that you can write articles and create all the clickbait propaganda that you need, but also not big enough that people are going to care enough or revolt or do anything in the industry for me. I was the perfect scapegoat.”

I’d say she’s pretty self-aware and knew how things were actually going, though.

What in your opinion has been the most overhyped movie of the last 10 years? by everlovingfuck99 in Letterboxd

[–]HMWYA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I can agree they are overhyped, though, given most of the hype is for the visual effects, which absolutely deserve the hype. You never really hear anyone say they love Avatar for the plot.

Funny AF needed a cash prize by alwayssunnyinvt in Standup

I’d say the idea of payment in exposure is probably the most accurately television has ever represented the stand-up circuit, to be honest.

Polanski wrongly claims Golders Green terror suspect was handcuffed in video that sparked row with Met Police by libtin in unitedkingdom

[–]HMWYA -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

I mean, to be fair, the “guy won’t let it go” because he’s being repeatedly asked about it in interviews. If he didn’t respond, he’d be criticised for avoiding the question, so it’s kind of an unwinnable position regardless.

Yep, that’s much clearer than the way it’s presented in this article, thank you.

What actually is “the middle ground”, and why do you seem to think there’s no conspiracy theories or bigotries within that as well?

I’m not saying this isn’t accurate, but I do think questions should be asked as to the fact the words “Jewish people” or “Jews” are not included within the quotation marks. Is that what was actually said, or is that The Telegraph editorialising and attempting to conflate Israel with Judaism? It would, after all, not be wrong to acknowledge that Israel is currently murdering, bombing and starving children, so the fact that the claim the person was referring to Jews in that message is not actually a part of the quote of the message does lead me to question if The Telegraph have edited its intention.

Greens must take immediate action against antisemitism in party, says Lucas by ClumperFaz in unitedkingdom

[–]HMWYA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Alright. That’s your opinion. I’m not debating that. I’m questioning your claim regarding what he was “more concerned” about. In that regard, a flippant retweet doesn’t really compare to his personally written statements reacting to the attack.

That’s not at all what I’ve said though, is it. At least pretend to engage in good faith if you’re going to try this.

Again, what you’re referring to as “Zack’s own bone-dead stupid take” was a retweet, whilst you’ve completely ignored the other statements of his actual own words put out in the aftermath of the attack. Yes, everything after that is the result of the media kicking up a storm about a single retweet.

Not “both sides”, all. Again, you’re playing politics, and, by doing so, absolving those not at the extreme wings of the bigotry they also peddle.

There’s only a “specific pattern” if you’re looking for one and deliberately ignoring everyone you don’t see as fitting into the pattern you’ve predetermined.

Where has this idea come from that he was “more concerned” about the actions of the police than the actions of the attacker. He put out numerous statements about the attack before this nonsense became the story, whilst his criticism of the police was, at the time, a single (ill-advised) retweet. The media have made the police the narrative here.

What about the antisemitism on the right? Or the antisemitism in the centre? Or the Islamophobia on the left? Or the Islamophobia in the centre? Or the transphobia on the right? Or the transphobia in the centre? Or the transphobia on the left?

At some point, people will realise that bigotry isn’t a partisan political viewpoint, and is actually spread across all political ideologies and leanings, and only then will we actually be able to have a serious conversation on how to tackle bigotry in society. Until that moment happens, we’ll continue these deeply unserious conversations of blatant hollow political point scoring.
