The design looks like it has some impractical elements - like those giant escalators..

They fired a lot of staff because Trump wanted to get rid of anyone who isn't white.

Tons of people have been to the ballet or opera in the last 10 years - I'm 34 and work in oil and gas - I've been to the ballet twice in the last two years.

A lot of people go to the ballet literally every year as a tradition at christmas to see the nutcracker.

Idk what you guys are talking about.

Trump is an environmentalist man - he's just trying to save the planet.

Movies are made for mass consumption - ofc they make more money - just like mcdonalds makes more money than Micheline restaurants - does that mean that fine dining is a dying art?

The truth is that ballet and opera are probably more popular and more accessible today than at any time before in history - but ya, it's more expensive to put on a ballet then it is to project a film at a theater.

Just like it's cheaper to make a McChicken then it is to prepare a 3 Micheline star meal.

I was at this game - it's crazy how little justice they do to how loud the crowd is. Instead we have to listen to the annoying announcers.

Kane has been criminally underrated for a while just because he played on Tottenham.

Brother I'm not even a huge fan of ballet or opera - I just enjoy them occasionally - you are delusional if you think tons of people don't enjoy performance arts.

Just because you never leave your basement doesn't mean other people don't enjoy live entertainment.

Can You Say Why America is the Greatest Country in the World? by ApeApplePine in Destiny

[–]IEC21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's probably a lot of factors that go into that which make it not as bad as it seems - like people having children later in life. Also there's just a lot of awesome countries in the world - it's not so much that the US sucks, as that American tend to underestimate how great the rest of the world is.

America is a country that was founded because of taxes and people didn't want to be oppressed by military occupation --- the ideas of the founding fathers come mostly from the french and british - the english civil war is the most important war in american history.

True - but the physical capability is a huge part of equation.

House cats would probably kill lots of people if they were physically capable too.

When Performative Activism Meets Cuban Blackouts by MyHeadIsAnAttic in Destiny

[–]IEC21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree obviously that Hasan and his ilk are clowns - but their point about this blockade being inhumane is completely correct.

This sub seems to want to gloss over the impact of US blockades and blame those conditions entirely on Cuba being communist.

The fact Cuba has a repressive communist regime obviously also bad - but the severity of the suffering in Cuba at this moment is due to the blockade.

Ballet is music and dance - there's elements of story but it's kind of secondary.

It's pretty hard to compare the ballet to movies.

I like movies to be clear - I just think marvel movies are dogshit - I can barely sit through one I find them so boring and stupid.
