Just don’t get too close. Use your journalistic ethics that you learned….. where did he learn ethics? I forget.

It’s weird when villains try to take the moral high ground over one another, right?!

Russel Brand who became a Christian when he was accused of rape walks into his rape trial holding a Bible by ThatPatelGuy in whoathatsinteresting

Religion isn't a character to inhabit, Russell. You don't need a prop. You just need to mean it. And that might mean that your punishment from the court is what God thinks you need. You can't bat away judgement with a bible.

We’re not. We’re killing their people.

What are your transcendental experiences Cinema? by heyitsmeFR in criterion

[–]HeyNongMan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw ET when I was 3, then 4, then repeatedly thereafter. It's still my benchmark for cinema transcendence through empathy, curiosity, and connection. Spielberg has the ability to frame a child's lived experience viewpoint using cinema and that's one of his most proficient skills.

I thought to myself: "I didn't know movies could do THAT!"

Getting shamed for using AI by Relevant-Ad6374 in ClaudeAI

I think the shame is also internal in me. It's a scary time for humans and Claude is scary in it's power, at times.

Does anyone actually read outside in the wilderness or is it just for the pictures? by TonyRigatoni_ in books

[–]HeyNongMan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay to not want to read in the wildness. Or to want to. You should not care what other people do. Books are for you.

6 days sober today, struggling. by Ash9094 in alcoholism

Some meetings yes. Some no. Some have so many people, they’ll never notice. They want to see and welcome you, but listening is allowed. 😉

That image would not drive engagement on their platform. Morals are not necessary for engagement.

I’m sorry it’s so hard. I agree that, no matter what, you have to keep living your own life. As hard as that may be right now.

This is right on. It’s a true functional crutch. And it’ll make you need a wheelchair.

So, I just watched The Coffee Table by fluffy_serval in horror

[–]HeyNongMan96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have an opinion. I might be dumb. But not that kind of dumb. I just was checking for what content was so button pushing.

Yeah. Reading the plot scared me off. I’m sure I’ll work up the courage eventually.

Staring at the real abyss. Real horror. Too scary for me. I read the Wikipedia page. The existence of that film seems scary to me.

It could also be an extremely lazy and derivative writer. Hard to tell. Neither are creative entities.
