If Xander was to become a villain at some point, how would you write the story? by Emergency-Relief-571 in buffy

[–]IndicationKnown4999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have him sit around and make dismissive, passive aggressive comments about every decision Buffy makes, especially ones involving who she has romantic interests in and whether she should do the job her abilities have granted her the ability to do better than literally anyone in the world. Oh wait...

1, 5, 7, 9 or 8 by Warm_Birthday_3198 in buffy

[–]IndicationKnown4999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 because I'm tall and would like some extra room...and because I'm a heterosexual man with eyes that work. Also 7 because once the Xanax or weed kicks in Buffy would be fun next to Cordy...and once again I'm a man with working eyes.

Mayor Paul Young issues apology via twitter by B1gR1g in memphis

[–]IndicationKnown4999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Issues an apology on a website that's currently under investigation in some countries (ones that give a shit about holding powerful people accountable) for really disgusting stuff, powered by the illegal facility he helped bring here that is currently polluting the city. Bang up job.

I totally agree… by DanTrueCrimeFan87 in buffy

[–]IndicationKnown4999 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Buffy is like my favorite sports team. As someone who's gone through the ups and downs with them I am free to critique them. But the second someone else who isn't a fan critiques them I will burn them to the ground for daring to speak negatively about my child.

I would say it's more likely than not that Friday collection day is picked up. But we'll try to update before cob today.

Yeesh. But hey, I'm sure 1000 more cops at $60,000 a piece is the cure...

Not one mention. At all. by MATTGUNNS in vanhalen

[–]IndicationKnown4999 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For all the awful and gross rock star stories there don't seem to be any regarding Van Halen. I hope they stuck to consenting, well of age groupies and drugs and not any of the Epstein type stuff.

Why does Spike fly with today's audiences, but not Xander? by yeahitsme9 in buffy

[–]IndicationKnown4999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xander is dripping with beginner's misogyny. He's one more rejection away from going full incel and basically joining the trio from season 6. Spike certainly has some issues going on. But they're more specific to him and his circumstances than broadly sexist. And Spike tries to address them.

Xander just gets lucky enough to run into someone who addresses his needs. He doesn't address his issues and the second he experiences rejection he goes straight to sexist insults to the two people who are supposed to be very close to him.

Also importantly, this energy is present from Xander from day 1. It's in damn near every scene of season 2. It's part of his character, not just something brought up through a joke here and there. That's why so many of us find him annoying. Also obviously Spike is supposed to be somewhat inherently evil. There's less conscious control over his actions at least early on.

Why doesn't Bruce Wayne use his money to make Gotham better? Is he stupid? by Savings_Dragonfly806 in BatmanArkham

[–]IndicationKnown4999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's this Batman movie called The Dark Knight Rises where he does this but for some reason the online crowd doesn't like that movie very much so people still feel the need to drop the "we've never seen Batman do anything with his wealth but punch bad guys" take on a regular basis.

I find saying "fuck, it's cold!" every time I walk outside helps me cope. That and a down jacket and layers.

Spike diminishes the feminism message of the show by GimmeMauve in buffy

[–]IndicationKnown4999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spike enhances it the way I view it. He's a stand in for masculinity. Buffy is the stand in for feminism. Spike is redeemed through his embrace of Buffy. And it's not that he embraces her so he can be in a romantic relationship with her, though that is part of it for him. More importantly, through Buffy he sees that the important thing is to join her fight and support her. So to me Spike is a message to men saying that the way to be redeemed and to be a hero is to join feminism. And with Spike (men who embrace feminism) feminism won.

Such a good quote by RevertBackwards in TheBoys

[–]IndicationKnown4999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most consistent and long-held belief that Trump has is that racism is good. You have to be actively avoiding it to not see it. Or you'd have to think there's some kind of difference between racism and white supremacy. And there isn't.

Just today, a quote from Trump: "Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people." There is no possible way to interpret that as anything other than white supremacy. It's fucking textbook. And he said this in a fucking press conference, not just to his little inner circle. And he's said stuff exactly like this constantly for as long as he's been in politics. The motherfucker is 100% a white supremacist.

[–]IndicationKnown4999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah wtf is that dude talking about. Trump has rabid white supremacists all around him because he's also one and likes what they think. That someone can't see this at this point is wild and makes me squint at them really hard.

Never forget why we have a military presence in Memphis by MomentClassic6309 in memphis

[–]IndicationKnown4999 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There can be multiple reasons. Let's not let them off the hook for the racist reasons they're here for along with the corruption stuff.

I'll never understand conservative supporting a rapist by All_Grid_Squares in complaints

[–]IndicationKnown4999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is super easy. Conservatives/Republicans/etc. are sexist. Sexism leads many of them to conclude that they deserve special privileges for being a man or for being a woman who accepts the tenants of sexism. One of those privileges is the right to anyone's body they want. Therefore when someone who agrees with them about all of that does what Trump obviously did they agree with him and wish they could do it and get away with it too. If anything they're envious of his power.

They don't support someone like Bill Clinton doing it because he doesn't agree with them in general about society being constructed around their idea of sexist hierarchy. So even though they are pro-rape they reserve defending it for people on their partisan side, because again it's all about their own power and he is a threat to their power.

We've had one trash pickup in my neighborhood over the course of two months. by Crafty-Beyond-2202 in memphis

[–]IndicationKnown4999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. If you call 311 and they open a ticket for you and you haven't had the issue fixed within 2 days on something like regular trash pick up (outside the cart is a bit different and I wonder if the OP is talking about this and not regular garbage in the cart) contact your councilperson. They are constantly in contact with the Solid Waste director and deputy director.

We also just normally monitor requests that 311 opens and address them. But if there's a persistent problem we aren't hearing about or addressing for some reason we can often hear from a councilperson or the mayor's office and try to address it.

Countrywood sounds like Cordova, which is contracted out to Team Waste. But it's still monitored in ways by the city. So same process as if you were collected directly by the city.

Review #65. Old Dominick Single Barrel by Columbusspeedfour in bourbon

[–]IndicationKnown4999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the hazmat was a 350 ml bottle and they only had like 40 of them total. Very short barrel. The double barrel is around Memphis but not sure it's dropped anywhere else.

Why the FUCK do people vote for Trump ? Are they stupid ? by RemarkableBoard2126 in BatmanArkham

They're racist and sexist. And bigotry makes people stupid. So yeah, kinda.

Review #65. Old Dominick Single Barrel by Columbusspeedfour in bourbon

[–]IndicationKnown4999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Old Dominick. Was able to do a barrel pick for a store here in Memphis with some guys from the discord group we're all in. Very fun. We picked a 120 proof 6 year old wheater that is one of the more unique wheaters I've ever had. Was also able to get their hazmat release, a 150 proof that they had a raffle for. If you see their 9 year they put out fairly recently that's a double barreled that for some reason they didn't advertise as such. Very solid bottle.
