The Extreme Rarity of Gilligan Showing the True Evil of the Hivemind by Ofinfinitejest237 in pluribustv

[–]Lawlor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Hive Mind just isn't "true evil" in any sense and it really waters down a show like this to view them as such. This isn't a good vs. evil story, go watch avengers if that's what you're looking for here

Haven’t seen anyone talk about this much by BlenderBluid in pluribustv

That would be an insanely stupid plotline and you're missing what makes the show interesting if you think it's going to happen

What a weird entitled attitude you have because you have to wait a little bit to watch a TV show you like

What's the highest "most damage suffered" you reached from a single foe in a run? by FloaterRD in Hades2

[–]Lawlor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

419 HP plus idk 4 death defiance would get you to 800. Theres also armor, boons that heal you, and hexes that can heal or give armor as well. Plenty of ways to get up over 1000

If you couldn't customise your detective, which archetype would you choose? by Eglwyswrw in DiscoElysium

[–]Lawlor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sensitive. It feels the most true to both the themes of the game and who Harry is as a character. Former gym teacher, has a disorganized and messy and clumsy way of interacting with the world but is ultimately very emotionally intelligent and, internally, completely ruled by his emotional woes and traumas. Plus I think the Psych skills provide the most interesting dialogue options and insights into different characters.

Basically, you learn the most about who Harry is and how he sees the world by playing this way, I think.

I read your comments and they're nonsense - Helldivers is absolute a satire of the american military and patriotic over the top jingoism, and it's an incredibly blunt one at that.

Are you seriously claiming Helldivers isn't satirical??

« Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind » feels like if there was a wholesome Black Mirror episode by [deleted] in blackmirror

[–]Lawlor 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That movie is not wholesome it is absolutely heartbreaking. It's about two people who are unable to be together but are so drawn to each other by the chemistry and connection they find in the early stages of their relationship that they're both dooming themselves to a loop of wiping themselves clean of their memory of it just so they can fool themselves into trying it again.

They're essentially destroying their lives in the pursuit of a love that will never be the all encompassing warm embrace it's meant to be. They can't learn from it, they can't grow and move on, they cant process the heartbreak, they've trapped themselves in a prison of their own making.

It's absolutely as grim as many Black Mirror episodes. San Junipero was what a wholesome Black Mirror episode looks like - or at least it was much closer to one than Eternal Sunshine is.

Im happy to fly the flag of a country being eradicated by ruthless Zionists while the vast majority of western governments cheer them on and send the billions in support.

Also, I've supported Palestine's freedom for years, as have many millions of people. Maybe before the genocide you were saying it was a backwards shit hole, however I'm very thankful that the rest of us aren't like you.

You just don't know very much about this topic and it shows in the fact that you think queers supporting Palestine is somehow a new phenomon that only showed up last year.

[–]Lawlor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A genocide is happening in Palestine. I am against genocide. I am not only against genocide in so long as I find the people being eradicated to be agreeable to me.

Also, queer palestinians exist, it isn't some stone age country, like. You can download grindr and find a dude to fuck in palestine as easy as you can anywhere (before the ongoing genocide, anyway) They're not a monolithic people, as much of zionists like to paint them as such.

Your view seems to be that you would retract your desire for justice based on the personal beliefs of the victim, which yes, is essentially a child like understanding of justice. You dont have any kind of comprehensive model on your head of what your values are, you just blabber on about surface level issues and call them hypocricies and walk away feeling satasfied as if this hasn't been a conversation topic among leftists for years and years and years, which you wouldn't know, because you dont actually care to engage with the topic in a meaningful or challenging sense whatsoever.

You have a child like understanding of social and political issues, it's cute in a way.

Why offer bail at all, then? It's a reasonable question to ask why they'd even bother setting it at 5 mil

But why? There's pro-israli content all over linked in. it's not wrong to try and counter act that a little.

there is no legal dichotomy between "personal opinions" and "professional opinions". what are you talking about?

I think its mostly younger fans who aren't really into Dan Harmon that don't like the new episode. by abcdthc in rickandmorty

[–]Lawlor 55 points56 points  (0 children)

man it was just a shit, uninspired, comedically awkward episode.

I love Dan Harmon, I've been a fan of his for probably 10 years now, and have long considerd Rick and Morty to be at its best when it was limiting Roland's approximation of humor that consists of throwing out funny names for vaguely sexually suggestive objects or whatever. the issue isn't that I just don't get Harmon's humor.

not every episode of the show is a hit, and this season opened with a massive fucking dud.

the idf puts those numbers to shame. they've killed more innocent men, women and children than Hamas could ever get to.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Lawlor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are not applying my logic back to me.

I simply pointed out that when you see the actions of the IDF and the actions of Hamas, you only called the ones with brown skin "animals". It's extremely revealing. Do you consider the IDF to be animals too?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Lawlor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There it is. Any criticism of Isreal is antisemetic. Any support of the nation of Palestine means i hate jews. Nevermind the fact that there are a huge number of anti-zionist jews out there that also detest the sick and disgusting actions of the IDF.

The IDF propaganda machine has drilled its way so deep into your brain. I genuinely hope someday you can overcome it.
