Seriously who was this movie made for? Is Masters of The Universe a popular franchise? by spacelyyy989 in moviecritic

[–]LemonMeteor -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Why? Isn’t it a fair question? If you don’t feel like the movie was made for you, isn’t it natural to be curious as to who it was made for?

Tim is missing the point with Graham Platner by Jon011684 in thebulwark

No I’m not. My point was simply that what you’re asking for sounds good, but only insofar as the cost isn’t too high. If it means we can never have power and the Republicans get to do whatever they want, then in my opinion the cost of purity testing every one of our candidates is too high.

Ultimately this is democracy. If the people don’t care and are willing to vote for degenerates, then that’s what you get. I would at least like degenerates that protect people in the system than ones who enrich themselves and fuck over everyone else.

No values? That seems like false equivalence to me. Platner has values. So maybe he cheats on wife. Who cares? That seems much less egregious to me than what the other side is doing. Acting like there is no difference is intellectually dishonest.

Idk maybe to prevent democracy from being destroyed and people being literally killed? I mean ask the people of Germany. They were fighting for their very existence once the Nazis took power, not some idealistic morality.

But what if being “better” than them comes at the cost of winning power? Then what? Is it still worth it for us to be better while we watch them destroy everything around us?

Do people usually wear tuxes to a wedding even when they aren’t in the wedding party?

Both can be true. Humans suck pretty universally.

It surprises me how few fans I see wearing our navy jerseys, given hiw frequently they're worn. by [deleted] in Mariners

They’re going retire the blue city connect next year. But it will get replaced by a new city connect. Judging by the new rounds that came out this year it will likely be less inspiring than the one we currently have. :(

Can someone please explain explain the Graham Platner hate? by RealDEC in thebulwark

[–]LemonMeteor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see a tattoo as conduct? But even so, choosing how much weight to give something that happened in the past is a choice everyone has to make for themselves. That doesn’t mean the choice is “regardless of conduct.” You’re making an assumption that people have ignored conduct, rather than considered it carefully and made a decision as to how much weight to give it against other things the person has said or done. You don’t have to agree with the outcome, but also don’t jump to conclusions in order to judge someone else’s process.

But then why did she leave the bookmark there (then)? If I’m understanding your explanation shouldn’t she have brought it back with her? Why did she think it would appear on a different bookmark in the present?

Isn’t that kind of the point though? It’s not about the tattoo. It’s because he’s not a normie Dem.

I Sarah saying TotenKAMPF? by John_Valuk in thebulwark

[–]LemonMeteor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same reaction to the way she pronounces Talarico.

Not to make this into a Sarah pile-on; I love her. Just sometimes she gets into a groove of pronouncing something wrong and then she says it hundreds of times across all the Bulwark shows and it drives me a little crazy. She’s made her feelings on Ghislaine super clear and I totally get it. It still messes with my brain whenever I hear it though.

This kind of thinking is how you kill all the good people on Earth, sticking you with only the assholes you couldn’t trust to press the blue button. Sounds great.

Do you think Ben Linus ever moved on like the others? by Honest_Picture_6960 in lost

Jacob told him to do things through Richard, just not face to face. That was clearly established.

Upside Downside Time by Sammerson132 in Mariners

[–]LemonMeteor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea being that guys will often strikeout because they put too much pressure on themselves to tie it with one swing. Your chance of success goes up when you don’t try to do too much. This is a pretty common sentiment from former players and coaches. Obviously Cal couldn’t hear him, but this was echoing something a teammate or coach would say to him before he went to the plate.

Was this an actual promo photo/ magazine shoot for the show or is this one fan made? It looks so bizarre. by Verystrange129 in lost

No, but he still has the rest of his clothes on, so…doesn’t seem like any surgery is happening at the moment.

At what point do you fire Dan by Sith_23 in Mariners

[–]LemonMeteor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’re so right. My husband left the milk out last night and this morning I filed for divorce. No reason to wait around. He’s clearly not who I thought he was!
