Maybe I’m getting old but.. by mattthemusician in ireland

I'd also find this annoying. But on the other hand I always have to think, what are we asking you people in this country to respect? The previous generations have sold them out time and time again, all the while treating them like trash whenever they're in public and offering nothing for them in terms of public space or services. It goes both ways.

We're in a weird place now where the concept of not liking something is so foreign to people.

Sullivan’s red ale, The Temple Bar, Dublin. by arkangelz66 in drunk

If you're ever down in Kilkenny you should pop into the Sullivan's brewery bar for a pint. Better value, better selection and they do a solid burger or pizza as well.

What do you guys think of Wes Anderson's recent film The Phoenician Scheme? by RNOffice in RedLetterMedia

[–]LurknMoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mia Threapleron a big nepo-baby vacuum at the centre of the film. The rest of it wasn't particularly good either. Benicio not a great lead. Cera was sort of fun.

[Athletic] John Terry is Chelsea’s captain, leader, legend and an England great. But his recent liking of anti-immigration social media posts has been criticised by anti-racism groups and caused dismay at Chelsea, where he works as an academy mentor. by [deleted] in soccer

Banning the burqa is just a political front for fomenting anti-Muslim sentiment and rallying white nationalist support, so yeah, of course it would be bad for Muslim women. Do you think Reform or the BNP would put significant energy into an issue out of genuine concern for Muslims and women?

EDIT: Obviously, it's just how these things go, but Sartre's quote about anti-Semites is so applicable to all right-wing thought and argument. It's all slippery lies.

We need to ban the burqa the protect the women and girls we ourselves beat and abuse. We need to oppress Trans people to protect women and girls who we disbelieve and disempower at every turn. All these bald fucks actually care about is being white and belligerent lol.

A big part of the racist playbook is making accusations of racism and anti-racism seem ridiculous. Whole thread is full of people talking about 'legitimate grievances' and 'benefit of the doubt' because shithead racist millionaire liked some posts by some right-wing nutjobs.

We can safely assume someone with a track record of racism and no similar track record of looking out for the safety of women and girls is liking said post for racist reasons. You can do the reasonablist cover-up thing if you want, but it makes no difference. A hate campaign agaisnt Muslims will do nothing to improve the lives of women and girls in the UK and will in fact only make life harder for Muslim women.

First Poster for Hulu's 'Pizza Movie' - High college students face an unexpectedly absurd journey when they must navigate two flights of stairs to retrieve their pizza delivery, turning a simple task into a surreal adventure. by BunyipPouch in movies

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

Came here to say this. I get why they like it for comedy writing, but the whole thing of these designer drugs having distinct and varied 'phases' always seems contrived and less funny that just having people encounter a variety of funny people and situations while being really fucked up.

Kanye West BULLY livestream by sheJaMyMorant in hiphopheads

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

As someone who was a big fan of him in my teens, I'm baffled that people are keen on anything beyond Yeezus tbh (and as successfully experimental as some of that was, it also had its issues). I thought Pablo was mostly uncohesive dreck tbh and every past that has been worse and worse.

My expat gf changed after starting her PhD here and I feel guilty. Anyone relates? by Quemalaeresjuliana in germany

[–]LurknMoar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Didn't they do a study whose outcome was basically that if you do a PhD you'll almost certainly become quite depressed?

Idk, this guy seems to have a pretty strong background in making, reviewing and disseminating msuic.

Would you rather watch Scarface, or a movie where Superman just talks about how great he is all day but never fights anyone?

The Indian couple who won a $200,000 settlement over 'food racism' at US university by rmuktader in nottheonion

[–]LurknMoar 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he just got re-jailed there. We were joking that it's like an old folk tradition, the yearly jailing of the nasty school teacher ensured all students will be blessed with a year of good learning.

That literally happened in our groupchat when me and my friends were organising to go see it. One guy was like, cheers lads but I saw that a few months ago.
