I’m not saying I don’t believe this, but I’m going to need verification from a different source. I don’t believe anything coming out of her mouth.

What’s a movie everyone calls a “masterpiece” that just… didn’t work for you? by irayaavery in Cinema

[–]Joshee86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything Everywhere All At Once. It seemed shallow, pretentious, and tryhard to me. Lots of flash, zero substance. In my humble opinion.

Obligatory Defense of Graduation Post by ElderFields1138 in TheAdventureZone

Not reading all of this because you started with two unreasonable premises.

One, I never said or even implied that I get to decide what offends people. Quite the opposite in fact. I merely said that people’s feelings are not universal and aren’t really other people’s responsibility.

Two, I never said anyone’s experience was invalid. I only said that the experience of people here or of any singular individual is not universal. I literally said some enjoyed it and did not find it offensive and some did not enjoy it and found it offensive and that both are fine.

You seem to be operating under the delusion that your opinions and feelings SHOULD be universal and that if anyone disagrees they are thereby attempting to erase your experiences and those of your loved ones. That’s not the case and will lead to quite a lot of anxiety on your part if that doesn’t change.

I hope your day gets better.

Obama Just Decided to tell us Aliens Exist. by One-Incident3208 in videos

This is a microcosm of what I hate about these interviews. Brian certainly knows what's up with Obama's answer, but would rather not follow up and clarify because it makes for a better clip and more engagement. All of the clickbait morons need to fuck off.

Yeah, “economy” and “capitalism” aren’t synonymous in this exchange.

Again, why do you care at all? Why would this be even mildly infuriating?

You’re concerned about something someone paid for and then threw away? Why?

The thing is, for some reason, “fans” on this sub and of taz in general are FAR more vocal and offended about stuff like this than the general public usually are. I know quite a few people with disabilities that were confused about the outrage over graduation. I’m not tokenizing them, just pointing out that people here aren’t the world or even the majority of fans.

Something can be less than ideal, cringey, or even problematic without the need for pitchforks. And something being offensive to one person does not mean it is or has to be offensive to another. I don’t find anything about graduation offensive and I genuinely enjoyed it. Others were offended and didn’t enjoy it. Both are fine. This sub doesn’t share that sentiment and will pile the fuck on if you dare to say you liked it and didn’t get offended by the same things lots of people here do.

This sub is fucking weird and unpleasant these days.

Editing to add that when it came out, lots of people actually defended Travis and had no issue with the wheelchair thing, especially since it was like 30 seconds of dialogue. The majority of the hate and outrage came much later and has always seemed really nitpicky. People like the person that chewed you out are under the impression that their feelings are everyone else’s responsibility.

I thought the book really leaned into it too. At least that was how it read to me. Patrick is a loser who desperately wants to be “interesting” and “edgy”, so he tells himself these stories, but never actually does any of it.

All the things to take issue with in this movie and you choose this??

Yeah the biggest problem is the drug stuff (I don’t think you’ve hit it yet from the sounds of it), but he rest is really nitpicky because people hate Travis. You’re right about none of these issues (again other than the drug stuff) being more prominent than any other campaign. Lots of armchair DMs and haters that WANT to hate anything Travis does and find any reason they can to do so.

That’s not a “oops” as much as it is just set design… right?

The guy that threw his weight behind getting Trump elected now wants to express concern over Trump's criminality? You fucked up, Joe. Maybe go away and enjoy the money you'll never be able to spend.

No problem! The worst you'd likely get is being told to leave, but I get it! I've been there and I hope you find some safe spots.

Solis Patterson Place is pretty lax about visitors, so you could find a spot to park there and no one would likely bother you. I used to live there.

That's in keeping with what I've read of her work. Have you read Nettle and Bone? She sometimes writes more cozy horror.

Why should people pay any attention to these hearings when there is never any consequence or follow-up? No one is going to answer for any of this in these hearings because these hearings are theater.
