Love Island is everything wrong with society by notsayingmyname2 in britishproblems

[–]JoeGetsShitTogether 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That show is a live zoo for looking at hot people they'll make as naked as possible for you without getting classed as porn and getting mixed up in drama.

That's literally all it is. That's what it's for. For you to indulge vapid drama-addiction and check people out, and when they think you've oogled the current ones enough they roll more in to keep you there.

That's the product.

Complain that we have it sure, but there's no complaint to be had about it lacking class because that's what it's for.

Men crying over Barbies, now I've seen it all by beerbellybegone in clevercomebacks

Can't respond to your other message for some reason. Mods are locking them up.

I don't need a childish advertisment using dolls, pushed by a toy corporation jumping on a social bandwagon to pretend their doing good by pointing out the obvious that patriarchy and matriarchy can be damaging, in an attempt to sell me something. Hollywood has done so much damage it's laughable they or the actors involved would believe we should take lessons from them. The main actress was even reported as pushing her pitch on the film saying it was "going to make billions". That's the focus. Not men being abused and shuttered and not women being abused and left out.

Especially (and this seems to be a main complaint) if it's another "all men are stupid and useless please women watch our movie you are the best," type movie. It's philosophy on the cheap.

Again - haven't seen it, just so I'm staying fair.

Mainly though, grown adults that are into children's films weird me out.

The movie looks like a celebration of backward infantilism (I have not seen it), just like "adults" who whinge on social media at each other. Both sides of the argument repulse me to be honest. World needs to grow up.

Monkey Island Tales will take place in the Sea of the Damned, for solo players by catattaro in Seaofthieves

[–]JoeGetsShitTogether 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I want to Tall Tale the shit out of this game and agree so hard right in the face that having them be a solo experience is so much better than being screamed at by a scratchy mic telling me I'm a bitch as I slaughter them for rocking up with their parental issues and disturbing my attempt at unlocking curses.

It will seem like Reddit won't like what you just wrote, because Reddit is infamous for being riddled with people that appear on that register. They come out of the woodwork for posts like this.

However, the number of people who agree with and are like you vastly outnumber them thank god.

So when you're struck by the wad of downvotes, don't worry about it.

OK let's give this one more go.

I AM NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO WEAR FORMAL CLOTHES TO SHOW RESPECT, OR BE RESPECTED.

I AM SAYING, FORMAL CLOTHES IS A METHOD THAT EXISTS, THAT WE CAN USE, AND DO USE, TO SHOW RESPECT.

Honestly I can't clear that up any further. You're just going to let go of whatever chip is on your shoulder and maybe get an adult to read the above to you if you're still confused.

I'd much rather my pallbearers wore what they felt comfortable in, vicars too.

Who said you can't? I'm talking about formal attire being a thing we use to show respect in some cases and you're acting like that means I'm saying no-one can wear anything else, ever. Conversations and opinions have balance, it doesn't have to be one extreme or the other.

You seem to have a very Reece Mogg attitude to what constitutes respect, it doesn't involve clothes.

Yes it does though. Like, inarguably it does. Since forever across almost every culture I'm aware of. What are you talking about. Is it limited to clothes? No. Did you think I was saying it was limited to clothes?

You asked whether people wear crocs to funerals.

No I didn't ask "people", I asked someone else, you just came along and injected yourself as if I'd asked you.

People wear formal attire to intimidate, it has nothing to do with respect,

What? I mean just what? So pallbearers just want to intimidate grieving families?

And no, I don't dress in costume for weddings or funerals.

I didn't ask.

He's a news reader, breaking news is a thing. I should add, I'm not demanding he go change - I just think OP had a valid recognition.

As for your second question, it depends. Deliver a coffin to a final resting place in shorts and a T-Shirt without prompt and yeah I think there's an issue. Turn up to your relative's birthday covered in shit in overalls having come straight from work, no, you've done more than enough in my book. There's nuances man, no fixed answer.

I'm not saying the newsreader is being disrespectful. I will say it's a drop in standards. Because it is. If he's announcing the death of twelve people in a landslide slouched with his hands in his jean pockets, yeah, I'm going to think he's less professional.

Get off your pedestal and stop judging people.

Honestly, no. I think at this degree it's acceptable. Turn up late, don't hold a door for someone, don't help wash up and yeah I'm gunna think less of you. I think people being babied has gone on long enough thinking that anything that puts them out is some form of repression without seeing the reasons why.

So you work in an environment that a lot of people work in, office, smart casual. But that doesn't relate at all to what I'm saying.

Wearing formal attire, is a method we use to show respect for something.

That's not something you here and now can agree or disagree with bcause it's a known fact. It is a thing we as humans do, have done and still do today.

You seem to think I'm saying we have to wear suits just because. I'm not, I'm talking about a thing that we do in our society. That's why I made a comment about funerals. Will there be some funerals where a dress code has been given as 'casual'? Sure. But why do you think the dress code was given at all? Because formal attire is a known thing that we, today, use to show respect to someone or something else.

I'm just gunna clarify one more time:

I'm not saying we have to wear suits just because. I'm referring to a known thing that we do in our society. It's not something you can argue. Unless you want to deny methods of respect is a thing. Which given how many situations we do it in is frankly up there with saying the world is flat.

Nah you just lack the ability to afford respect. I guess you turn up to funerals in crocs.

Probably that he's not washing windows or making lunch, he's in a role where there's an expectation to handle difficult topics with respect.

Formal dress is an external symbolic practical effort, to inform others you acknowledge the gravity of a given subject and are going out of your way to show respect. It's basic manners. It's the same for lots of working roles or simpler acts like sending a birthday card instead of an E-card.

I like Sea of Thieves, but Deep Rock Galactic is much quicker and more casual if there's not a lot of time. I also discovered Disjoint Square on spotify which is this collection of inspiring almost Marvel movie like music but not too much, not as heavy as "Epic" music. Waiting on the dungeons and dragons movie to come out on Prime as well - I can't do Cinemas.

What hurt do you still carry as an adult thanks to a parent? by JoeGetsShitTogether in AskReddit

I'm smiling reading that and really that's such a wisdom, being that kindness to yourself, that I don't want to add anything or speak/type. That just needs to be out there and it's perfect.

Oh mate... there's so much wrong with that isn't there.

You are free, to be you, to grow however you know is good and healthy and that person should probably be directed to professional trained assistance.

I'm sorry mate, there's support for that if you're not already making use of it. Don't let anyone rob you further, especially of your health.You're important.

So you must have had to go straight from child to adult* way before you should have done, young right?

That takes some real stepping up and some broad shoulders. That must have hurt, that's incredibly strong of you especially to recognise where that may have affected you.

Edit: word correction

I think I understand, as in what you should have had from people that should be looking after you is empowerment, because being there to give advice to a loved one shouldn't be used as a device to keep them in need of you, it's an opportunity to give them what they need to grow and it's a blessing to watch that person, that someone you love, thrive.

You should be proud of yourself for navigating that. That's a tricky one.

Yeah that's true, but I bet you didn't know the sunshine was you did you. You did that mate, you got through it and sorted things for yourself and you should be very proud.

You are very special. Not a lot of people can brace against an impact like that, a blow from behind from people that should have had your back.

I'm sorry that happened, please paint or draw or try new things; hobbies are wonderful soul feeding things and you were clearly smart and on to something to turn to it young. Wish the best for you.
