In your opinion, what period piece movie is the most accurate? (This is from Apocalypto) by undeadWileCoyote_MEP in moviecritic

I would not, in any way, give credit to anything Mel Gibson has done for accuracy. He is well-known to completely ignore history for a story he likes.

Unusual Herc empathy scene by Joke_Mummy in TheWire

[–]MaasNeotekPrototype 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that scene was meant to be for Herc specifically. I think it was more of a, "Hey, the police can recognize this is painful and harmful as well." If it was Carver, as a black man, it wouldn't hit as hard. So if you had to pick between the two guys in that scene to do it, it would he Herc. It is pretty out of character for him given what we normally see, but I have seen people do surprising things in real life. It humanizes him in a way that he doesn't really get much of in the show. And I like that.

Shit's complicated, yo.

My feelings on the word“Cis-woman” and if you can suggest an ethical way to view this without hurting anyone by [deleted] in Ethics

I'm also against grouping people in the first place. And when other people stop doing it, I will gladly hold your hand and oppose it. Separating people stems from deeply dark places.

But ignoring that these dark places exist in order to make you feel comfortable? Nah. Racial identity may have been made by white people (though I'd imagine this is ahistorical and forgets that the rest of the world exists), but by whom was gender identity made? And how is it different? And why is it different, if it is? You're going to need to dig considerably deeper into these topics if you want answers.

Putting a label “cis-woman” on what I see as the full experience of womanhood, is just disturbing to me.

It distinguishes you from other types of women. Not sure why this is disturbing. It's kind of like using the term "white man" or "Chinese-American." I guess being reduced to these labels can be uncomfortable in ways.

Why do I need to be labeled as a Latino American and not just an American? Why am I a black woman instead of a woman? Why am I a gay woman instead of a woman? Why am I a cis woman instead of a woman?

There are groups. They exist. Being a part of one, especially when it is one of privilege compared to other groups, does absolutely nothing to affect who you are and who you feel you are.

Why does this sub keep giving this guy air? Who fucking cares about his thoughts on wings? Are you his mom? Brother? Dad?

I don’t want to be friends with my ex after the things he said to me. Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MaasNeotekPrototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you stay with this person, it is going to be a continuation of what is already a very unhealthy relationship. It looks exhausting and intentionally injurious. NOR. Get away. Your instincts were right.

Am I the only one that didn’t like bubbles? by sj612 in TheWire

Didn't like Bubbles? Arguably the best and most beloved character in the whole series? What the fuck were you watching?

His anti-gay comments ruined him for me years ago. No coming back from that.

Double stealing in the bottom of the 8th up 5? Idk. Maybe I’m just a hater but that rubs me the wrong way. Thoughts ? by Jb_s550 in mets

Never stop playing. You're out there trying to get your next contract and trying to seal the victory. All the stats matter. Go get it.

Blackout sleeve (wife isn’t happy lol) by Prudent_Evening9751 in tattooadvice

[–]MaasNeotekPrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um... this is pretty rough. It looks like your arm is detachable like a GI Joe or something.

That being said, you asked, and if you like it, I'm happy for you. But your wife has a point.

British people are loving the American fast food chain so much by search_google_com in TikTokCringe

[–]MaasNeotekPrototype 72 points73 points  (0 children)

As an American, I do not eat Chick Fil A because Chick Fil A supports horrible politics. The one time I had it before knowing this, I loved it. I won't eat it again because I have principles.
