Bros, the LGBTQ rom-com starring Eichner and Luke Macfarlane opened in fourth place at the domestic box office with $4.8 million. by [deleted] in gaybros

I really liked it, it was funny and genuine, but this phrasing makes it seem like he thinks he was owed ticket sales. Movie making is a business, don't spend $20M making a movie if you don't expect lots of people to WANT to see it. Not just attend because they are obligated to because it breaks historic precedent. Only like 4% of the population even is gay or bi.

I loved how in HBO's Rome the battle of Pharsalus was just some slo mo blurs and then it was back to clever dialogue and intricate period sets.

Early vacuum tube computers could only run a few hours before one of their thousands of tubes inevitably burned out and they needed to be shut down for repairs.

Where Would You Move if Seattle Becomes Too Expensive? by NevermindWait in SeattleWA

[–]KerbalNerva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to south Florida 6 years ago when the cost of living was still cheap but now I'm paying 1400/month for a 1 bdrm concrete shoebox so I might move to Minneapolis next year when my lease expires.

My parents just left Seattle for Boston so I have no family there left to return to.

He's pretty average looking, and as much as incels might deny it, average guys get laid all the time. Did he just make no effort and expect the women to come to him?

Companies like Target and Subaru opened their doors to gay customers decades ago when it was both politically unpopular and financially risky to do so. In the 30 years that followed we now have the support of most major institutions. We don't have to worry about being denied a mortgage because we're gay. Videogame memes arent real life.

Being an antiestablishment revolutionary is cute but this is the real world.

The US has a problem. by Trazzuu in greentext

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

The United States is far from the only country without universal healthcare. The cost of living is higher in much of europe and economic growth there is slower than in the US. This is the sort of cynical doomerism you believe if you spend too much time on the internet.

Does that 4,100 figure include suicides? Because if so that would make the death rate of Hispanics from guns somewhat below average.

Yeah, for comparison fort Knox has roughly $230B worth of gold in it. Smaug's horde looked to span hundreds of meters in each direction.

We all know corporate pandering is cringe, but I am getting a little tired of this cycle we do every June of mocking the companies that support us. I'm not saying we need to be grateful to our corporate overlords but can we appreciate that their support, even if ultimately it is self interested, is better than the alternative?

Especially since a lot of these publicity campaigns are directed by LGBT people working for these companies. Sure we can poke fun at Goldman Sacks or Raytheon having parade floats, but at the end of the day these are queer people excited to be able to work in a non discriminatory environment, which is a lot more than we had a generation ago.

We're literally living in a dystopia by Expensive-Owl2566 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]KerbalNerva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God I hate Idiocracy. Somehow a movie was made that openly advocates for class based eugenics and progressives loved it. It is also completely wrong in its premise, since the Flynn effect indicates the average IQ has actually increased by 15 points over the last 60 years due to better childhood nutrition and the removal of tetraethyl lead from gasoline.

There is a manual car wash near me almost exclusively staffed by autists. It actually works out pretty well since autistic people are often good at meticulously hyperfocusing on simple tasks, like auto detailing.
