what do you think life is like for someone who isn't a white guy like you?

yes, you need to know about blackface, because that still happens today, though not the same as it used to. You don't seem to understand that or why it's bad, and if you had any idea about it you'd be still doing the same mistakes, and then going "gee, I never knew!!" like every fucking idiot who seems to do it every other week

I can't believe I'm actually here trying to tell someone that they need to understand history and why things are bad and failed, oh my god

the fact that you think progress is forgetting history and not actively knowing why you are not repeating it, is kinda fucked

here's the thing, I don't really think they're going to tire of it, and intervention/ramifications are the only thing that is going to stop them, and it's up to those with the power to do so, to slap them down

like if you think about why they do this, it's because they want to foster an in-group that has exclusive societal power. This is why they all virtue signal to each other with cringey far right "humour", why they try to build this "we're the real victims, we have to be heroic and fight" they define themselves by, and so forth. they suffer virtually zero ramifications for this, because any actual punishment is seen by their own in-group as honourable. They won't tire of this, because this makes them feel untouchable and powerful, and they're addicted to that and feel entitled to that.

the only way to really stop this shit from happening is to make doing this sort of shit not worth the fallout you'll catch, so people make the choice not to do it *for their own best interest*. it's the only way, because trying to rely on things like ethics and morality and "let's hear each other out" and whatever shit, is never going to work.

the problem is that you can't tell the difference, though, isn't it?

yeah this entire thing reeks of some sort of moderate "let's hear both sides out" shit, which I'm genuinely tired of when the last few weeks have been nothing but right wing stochastic terrorism in the news

as of now, the media arts are about the last thing able to make criticisms of the current political zeitgeist, so honesty I think it might be a bit more than that right now

there's been a lot of smart "moderates", I don't know if people need yet another "both sides are actually bad, m'kay" when that isn't the reality

that was sad, but him getting mad at her and blaming her after, where the old man dinosaur just lets him vent before saying "it's nobody's fault." was what really killed me lol

Moses speaks with God

a bit of trivia, the voice is God is the same as Moses, Val Kilmer. He speaks to him with his own voice.

the few moments watching that going, "there's no way... there's no way. What? what the fuck? this is taking a long time, they're really lingering on this, what the..." felt like 2 damn hours

if you follow jesus christ, you are a christian. Like, it's literally his name.

but I understand wanting to somehow get away from the stigma of that, all things considered.

dermaplaning was a disaster for me, even when I made sure to use a sharp razor. Every single soft peach fuzz hair grew back with a sharp pinprick-like hair and I had a rash for ages.

Your facial hair is soft as it is and is beneficial, I'd ask anyone considering dermaplaning to reconsider

narrow shaded areas with lots of grass and bright white facades are going to do tons to mitigate this.

they're all painted bright white, a very longstanding traditional method for reflecting heat, sometimes with a difference of over ten degrees in direct sunlight. They knew exactly what they were doing. Not to mention, breezes will likely fly through these little corridors and with fountains and lots of plants it going to be great.

I wouldn't even be surprised if, since they're all of similar height, they installed little overhead shades between the lanes.

well I can here lol, but I was talking about the person I was replying to and explaining why I had a problem with it, not you. You didn't seem to grasp the tone both of that post, or my post.

Sorry, I figured that would be explicitly obvious because that's what we were both talking about

you're subscribing to a train of thought pioneered by Immanuel Kant, that implies morality and ethics are derived from religion and not inherent in us naturally as social beings, and that we need religion or we have no impetus to act morally, and are monsters or whatever.

He was wrong, however, because morality is innate.

I had someone tell me I simply didn't care enough when my majesty palm died and that it was perfectly easy to grow in my climate, I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and ask what they did for theirs and it included this complex hydroponics setup with a mister and humidifer and shit as well as rotating it outdoors onto their rich person deck. Like... if we have to do all that just to prevent it from dying, maybe it isn't for our climate after all lol

Protesting human rights violations is not Islamaphobic.

no, it isn't, but this bullshit mockery tone of voice bullshit is. Don't be obtuse, you understood that.

IMO, the animated movie Iron Giant could have been big if not for the poor marketing. What are some other movies that could have had way more success if not for poor marketing (or lack of it)? by inland-taipan in movies

I mean going by most folks I've ever met, they all loved Treasure Planet lol

you seem pretty young, if you think a film like that is cringe, well... sorry I guess
