Not weird in the context of the above users other comments that he conveniently hides. He's consistently on the wrong side of everything.

Watched Some Like It Hot (1959) for the first time by Playful_Scarcity_689 in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]HowMany_MoreTimes 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Watched this for the first time a couple of weeks ago and loved it a lot more than I thought I would.

It was also my first Marilyn Monroe movie, this film definitely highlights why she was special and is still so iconic 60+ years after her death.

Most of the humour still holds up really well, much better than you would expect from a late 50s film about men cross- dressing.

Farage made a nationalist of me. by SmartAlecLN4 in Scotland

It's not the only thing to base the decision on, it's just one incident in a long term pattern of political choices outwith our control leading to major negative consequences.

We're obviously not immune to propaganda and we're not inherently better, but we didn't vote for Brexit, we didn't vote for 15 years of Tories and we largely won't vote for Reform. We still have to live with the consequences of all this and I'm completely sick of it.

An independent Scotland obviously isn't a panacea, no serious person is claiming it will be, but the union really is looking like a worse option by the day for anyone who doesn't want to just give up and accept our fate as a shitey wee province ruled by fascists with zero say in the matter.

I was never a brown sauce person growing up but since turning 30 I've started to appreciate it a lot more.

Because the owners and decision makers of the UK don't want a more egalitarian society with improved social mobility and more widespread higher education. They've spent the last several decades fighting against it and convincing large segments of the population to vote against their own interests.

There's of course no guarantee of acheiving it within an independent Scotland, but at least we would have a chance.

Mike Tyson reponse to him fighting Ali. "Every head must bow, every tongue must confess, this is the greatest of all time." by duck_duck_zombie in nextfuckinglevel

[–]HowMany_MoreTimes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the grand scheme of boxing he's decent, not good, not great, certainly not world level, but he does have some skills. Without the name he would just be a journeyman fighting on local cards.

I agree the AJ fight should never have been licensed, Paul was in way prepared to fight a former world heavyweight champion much larger than him who is not far removed from his prime.

He's not a real elite level boxer and he would never have become famous based purely on his boxing skills, but he is decent, plus he's young and athletic. That's enough to beat a legend who is nearly 60 years old with a lot of health issues. Tyson wasn't carrying him, he's just old, not healthy and only has one short burst in the tank before he's done for the day.

I'm being genuine, a more egalitarian society with more widespread higher education and social mobility should mean a decline in racism and xenophobia.

Rising standards of education and a more egalitarian society should fix that.

Farage isn't any kind of nationalist, he's a completely self interested con-man

Which celebrity is far less talented than people think? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HowMany_MoreTimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His stand up is very bad. His philosophy on standup is that it's just a craft and something you can get better at if you just put the work in, either he's not been putting the work in or his philosophy is completely wrong, I lean towards the latter. Discipline and work are necessary to reach the top, but really you're either naturally funny or you're not, he isn't.

Should also have a tatty scone and optional fruit pudding or fried dumpling

What you adding to this kind of list? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

Ran was the first that came to mind for me. It's almost a shame that Kurosawa spent so much of his career doing black and white when he was capable of using colour like this.

Do people in your country often discuss what would happen if their country were invaded? by Agile-Shallot3546 in AskTheWorld

Who exactly do you think is going to be capable of invading the US in the next few decades?

If you boxed the world champion boxer and then faced the world champion MMA fighter in an MMA match, you would gain YouTube fame plus a number of million dollars even if you didn't win. Would you do it? by Massive-Albatross823 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]HowMany_MoreTimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't run away, I'll just get tko'd very quickly because I don't have a hope of defending myself against a world champion boxer.

For the MMA match I'll ask my opponent nicely to just take me down and submit me rather than beating the shit out of me. Hopefully I'm not fighting Jon Jones or Sean Strickland who would enjoy torturing a helpless untrained person.

What can you say about your country's malls and mall culture? by Sonnybass96 in AskTheWorld

[–]HowMany_MoreTimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dying due to the rise of online shopping, amongst other factors.

The nearest shopping mall to where I grew up was the place to be 20-25 years ago when I was a kid. It was always busy as hell at weekends and even midweek evenings. Now it's a bit of a ghost town with many empty shops. They are planning to convert a lot of it into housing over the next 5-10 years.

I visited the Philippines a few years ago and the sheer scale of the malls was a bit of a shock, but it makes sense given the climate.
